Appearance
A young girl with resemblance to her late mother. She has short brown straight hair and brown eyes. She was identitfied as the 'daughter ghoul' when she was wearing her butterfly dress and coat. Now she is currently wearing disguises to move around the 20th ward.

Personality
She is a shy girl but with a very gentle heart. She is also eager for knowledge.

Doves' Emergence
Hinami appeared first with her mother, Ryouko Fueguchi, in Anteiku to receive human meat for being unable to hunt. Her mother saw Ken Kaneki, the new worker, and told Hinami to greet him, and so she did shyly. She was a little confused with Kaneki's smell at that moment. Another day, Hinami was eating meat in a room in Anteiku's second floor, as Kaneki suddenly entered the room without knocking the door. After Kaneki apologized properly, he ended up telling Hinami his case of being a former human. Kaneki noticed that she had one of Sen Takatsuki's books and so the two started talking about words. Before she went back with her mother she thanked him and told him to teach her more next time.

While Hinami and her mother were walking back, the four ghoul investigators Koutarou Amon, Kureo Mado, Yasunori Nakajima and Ippei Kusaba appeared to annihilate the two. The mother told her daughter to run while she would hold them back. During her escape, Hinami ran into Kaneki and asked for help, but it was too late and the mother was killed by Mado. Later, Hinami received a newspaper that contained Kusaba's death. She realized that Touka had killed the investigator and decided to run away. After Touka had found Hinami holding her mother's hand, Mado appeared and attacked both Touka and Hinami. Mado was killed at the end by Touka. Renji Yomo and Kaneki rushed to Hinami's and Touka's whereabouts and they prepared to go back to Anteiku. While they were walking back, Hinami asked if it was right for her to live and Kaneki answered that he believed Hinami's mother told her to live.

Later on, as Kaneki went to Touka's home to pay Hinami a visit, he was surprised by Hinami's new and bad haircut. Kaneki gave Hinami a book and told her to try reading it in her free time.

Gourmet Arc
Hinami appeared once after Kaneki made it back alive from the Ghoul Restaurant and Shuu Tsukiyama's trap. She brought the injured cockatiel Loser to Anteiku because of Touka's fear of birds. She listened to Yoshimura's speech to Kaneki about the ghouls who killed their emotions and forgot the value of life.

Aogiri Arc
She participated with the others from Anteiku in the operation of rescuing Kaneki. Specifically, with Yoshimura and Irimi information collecting team, and she was the one to determine Kaneki's location.

Raid of Kanou's Lab
While Hinami has no role in this arc, she is mentioned several times. Here both Banjou and Kaneki mention that she has an excellent sense of smell, and could have been able to find Kanou much faster than them.

Her Mother and Father
She loves her mother and father the most. She missed her father after his death. Her mother took on the task to teach her how to live in the human world and educated her in reading. When her mother finally also died, she confined herself in sorrow for days, but decided to live on since it was her mother's last wish.

Touka Kirishima
She sees her like an elder sister and loves her. She would fight back against whoever harms Touka. The two of them have a close relationship. Touka also is protective towards Hinami. After the death of her parents, Hinami lived with Touka until she joined Kaneki's group of ghouls.

Powers and Abilities
Even as a young child, Hinami is stronger than ordinary ghouls. Typically, ghouls only inherit the Kagune from one parent, but Hinami inherited both the Koukaku Kagune from her mother and the Rinkaku Kagune from her father. With the koukaku on her shoulder blades and the rinkaku emerging from the waist, she has surpassed her parents to be strong enough to fend for herself.


 * Rinkaku Kagune: It takes the shape of two spines where each spine individally was tied together, and this kagune has a long range. It is especially suited for high-speed combat and has a sharp cut.


 * Koukaku Kagune: It resembles two flower petals that act as shields.

She has a great sense of smell that can detect enemies even in heavy rain. She could tell that there is something off with Kaneki's smell, while average ghouls might consider him a normal ghoul at first. Her sense of hearing is also great, being able to overhear inside a building that it makes sounds hard to get out.

However, she is still a pacifist ghoul.
