Hinata Wakaba

Hinata Wakaba, also known as Whirlwind School Girl, is one of the main characters from the Rival Schools series.
== Charactah Account ==
Hinata is the first to join Batsu in the search for his missing mother, but she also feels obligated to help defend her school from the attacks and kidnapping that have plagued it. She plays a similar role in Project Justice, but she also ends up whacked with the distress ball a couple times throughout. It's also hinted that she has some feelings for Batsu.
Being a very curious girl, Hinata just can't keep still, and would often run around off campus after school. She can be sometimes be a bit of a smart-aleck because of her winning spirit; but other than that, she is a cheerful and lively person who lives the usual life of a modern schoolgirl.

== Trivia ==
* The following details on Hinata's life is as described.
** Hinata lives with her parents and older sister Asaka, who is a college student. The school Asaka attends has never been disclosed to this day.
** Talent-wise, Hinata loves to sing and dance.
** Hinata is good at Japanese language, physical education, and social studies; but fares poorly in calligraphy.
** Hinata may be known for her national-level proficiency in martial arts, but her real skill is in origami, the Japanese art of paper folding.
** Hinata does not belong to any club in their school, but many people ask for her help in various clubs.
** Hinata is close friends with Sakura Kasugano of Street Fighter , and Natsu Ayuhara. They were all friends since childhood. Although she knows Sakura's best friend Kei (pictured in the gallery below), Hinata doesn't know her as well as Sakura.
* Ibuki's school uniform from her Street Fighter III: New Generation ending was well-liked by Capcom producer Hideaki Itsuno that he used the same design for Hinata's uniform.
* The kanji for her last name is sometimes misread as Wakabi. But during the production of the US version of United by Fate, her name was initially misread as Wakana. This error was corrected in Project Justice. The reason for the reading error is that the Kanji for her last name can be read either as Wakana or Wakaba; either is correct.
* Hinata is voiced by Tomoe Hanba.
* Hinata mastered martial arts from Ken Masters' online fighting school.
