Hiro Hanaka (花下寛, Hanaka Hiro), born Hiro Hyūga (日向寛, Hyūga Hiro) is a missing-nin formerly from Konohagakure. Born to a father of Hyūga nobility and a mother who lacked a clan, Hiro was shunned by his father from a young age because he lacked a Byakugan. While Hiro at first tried to rectify this by simply training harder, mastering what Gentle Fist techniques he could, the rejection he faced from his father eventually proved to be too much, causing psychological stress that resulted in Hiro leaving the village. Hiro would eventually accumulate fame due to his skill in both ninjutsu and taijutsu to garner an S-Rank in the Bingo Book, becoming one of the world's most feared adversaries on the battlefield.
