One of the reasons for Naruto’s The runaway success is due to its rich and varied cast of fighters, including its many capable ninjas. While fans will forever debate who among these kunoichi is stronger or better in a fight, a new cosplay has just proven that Hinata deserves more recognition than she gets.
Hinata is easily one of the most important supporting characters in the series. As a member of the prominent Hyūga clan of Hidden Leaf Village, Hinata faces a lot of pressure from her family. Due to being the eldest in the main family line, she was forced into heavy training from an early age, which she often did poorly. This, combined with her lack of confidence, led to her cousin Neji resenting her greatly, as he felt she did not deserve the role of heiress. Despite these hardships, Hinata found company with her teammates Kiba and Shino in Team 8. Most famously, Hinata always had strong feelings for Naruto, eventually leading them to start a family together at the time of Boruto. While her sweet attitude makes her easy to ignore, a new cosplay perfectly captures what makes the character so unique.
Now, a new cosplay by Instagram user kameaam shows Hinata in the outfit she wore most prominently when appearing in The last: naruto the movie. Between the wig, the white contacts, and the outfit, kameaam absolutely nails Hinata’s look from that particular era. More than just looking the part, the cosplay artist perfectly captures Hinata’s personality. Hinata’s characteristic shyness shines through both in the expression of her face and in the gesture of her hand. fans of naruto and cosplay seem to agree that there is something special about this display, as it has already amassed over 32,000 likes on Instagram in a single day.
One thing the cosplay does an expert job of highlighting is just how unique a fighter Hinata is. Far from being loud and rambunctious like her husband, or cool and poised like Sasuke, Hinata is calm and insecure. This sets her apart from many other female ninja in the series, who are mostly more obvious about their incredible fighting abilities. In a series built on larger-than-life fights and overflowing emotions, it’s refreshing to see someone as strong as Hinata being so shy. It’s this calm and uncertainty that comes through so clearly in kameaam cosplay and makes it such a beautiful portrayal of Hinata.
Hinata is an easy ninja to ignore throughout naruto, but a cosplay like this proves that the character has always served as an inspiration to many. Kameaam’s cosplay truly captures the essence of Naruto’s Hinata in an immediately convincing way.
