Hideki Hinata

Hideki Hinata, also known as Hinacchi and Ikechin, is one of the main characters from the Angel Beats! series.
== Charactah Account ==
Hideki is the co-founder/co-leader of SSS along with Yuri Nakamura. He is a young man with a bright and dependable personality. Being one of the strongest and most skilled males of the group he often puts himself in situations where he will protect his companions at any cost, in many occurrences, Yuri herself. 
Hinata is often used as a source of comedy throughout the series, one example being his conflicts with Yui and Naoi. Many unfortunate incidents befall upon him, such as when he is kicked down a pitfall trap by Yuri for touching her in the wrong spot in the first shown trip to Guild, when he was propelled into the ceiling of a classroom twice by a rocket under his chair during one of Yuri's plans to demoralize Angel (the second one is spinning, with his head inside the ceiling), being subject to cry out his inferiority to a clothespin, and almost to how easily toilet paper is flushed (both by Naoi).

== Trivia ==
* Hinata was the one who gave a nickname to most of the characters. For example, he calls:
** Yuri Nakamura - "Yurippe" (because his mother has the same name).
** Eri Shiina - "Shiinacchi".
*** In the English dubbed of Angel Beats!, he has never called Shiina by her nickname.
** He comes up with Kanade Tachibana's "Angel" nickname.
** His reference to NPCs when talking about the 'normal' students in the afterlife school.
* In the Angel Beats! Track Zero Chapter 1, Hinata once asked Yuri to call him "Hinacchi".
* Hinata is shown to be enjoying his immortality and he is often excited when he gets badly injured (Manga).
* In the manga, Hinata is shown to have a large knowledge of RPG games as he compares the afterlife world to a game, calls Ooyama as "Villager A", and refers to NPCs and the protagonist's point of view with multiple choice.
* In the manga, Hinata is shown to have proposed to Angel upon his first legitimate encounter with her as an attempt to distract her and impress Yuri, which ends badly when Yuri kicks him off of the roof of the school before Angel can reply.
* In the manga, Hinata is shown to have a desire to protect Yuri no matter what, which is not truly seen in the anime. He also has some romantic feelings for her, as shown in his desire to stay by her side.
** In the manga, Hinata and Yuri are often mistaken as a couple.
** In the manga, he constantly takes risks in order to protect Yuri, despite the many times he has called her violent and annoying.
* In the manga, Ooyama claims that the After Life is a game and Hinata as the Protagonist.
* In the manga, Hinata sometimes has an imaginative view of his move (for what he is supposed to do) which looks like a multiple choice for a main protagonist like in Persona series. And one of the choices is to flirt/tease, Yuri.
* In the OVA (Stairway to Heaven), he cooperates the most in Operation High Tension Syndrome. He was always seen throughout the episode in high-tension.
* Hinata is a source of comedy throughout the series and is the most skilled in baseball.
* Shown from Yuzuru Otonashi's POV, it is a running gag that Hinata will compliment/flirt with Otonashi, giving space for him to wonder if Hinata is actually gay.
** At the end of the 3rd Drama CD, it is revealed that Hinata is actually gay and he has feelings for Otonashi and he changed his mind about marrying Yui in the next life.
*** Although Yuri insists the Drama CD is a second season (breaking the 4th wall) and the story supposedly takes place after the end of the first season, the Drama CDs themselves can be just considered a compilation of gags.
* Hinata always succumbs to Ayato Naoi's hypnotism.
* Hinata, along with Otonashi and Masami Iwasawa, are the only ones that have a revealed death.
* Hinata shares his voice actors to two people:
** Same Japanese voice actor (Ryouhei Kimura) as Ryouta Kise from Kuroko no Basket and Hinata even slightly resembles him.
** Same English voice actor (David Matranga) as Tomoya Okazaki in Clannad.
* Hinata was the first and last of the characters to be "chair rocketed" to the ceiling in episode 5.
* Hinata's best friend is Ooyama, but he seems to be around Otonashi a lot more in the anime.
* Hinata likes to read manga in his spare time.
