== Storyline ==
Hailing from the icy thundra of Siberia, Hyoga is the pupil of Aquarius Camus (the Crystal Saint in the anime, a pupil of Camus himself). A rational and seemingly cold individual, Hyoga is actually a rather passionate and brave young man. Having lost his mother on a shipwreck that lays beneath the tundra, Hyoga's purpose with obtaining the Cygnus Cloth was to be able to break through the ice to visit his mother's icy resting place beneath.
In the manga, Hyoga is initially sent to quell the rebellious Bronze Saints and Saori Kido by the Sanctuary, since they're seemingly using their status as Saints for their own purposes, but Hyoga ends up joining their cause.
==Characteristics==
One of the main characters in the series, Hyoga appears calm, collected, and unemotional. Beneath the surface, however, he is passionate and devoted to his ideals. As a Saint born under the Cygnus constellation, Hyoga is able to control and manipulate ice and snow as he pleases, as he mastered the basis of the technique of the Saints of ice, stop the atoms of matter by the power of their Cosmo.
==Power and abilities==
By increasing his Cosmo, Hyoga can freeze objects and people. In his fight against his master, Gold Saint Aquarius Camus, Hyoga awoke the 7th sense and used absolute zero air, being able even to freeze the Gold Clothes, surpassing his teacher. In the Hades Arc, Hyoga was able to use a variation of the Freezing Coffin of his teacher but it was not named.
Before learning Aurora Execution his most powerful technique is Holodnyj Smerč (ホーロドニースメルチ, Hōrodonī Sumeruchi, Cyrillic: холодный смерч, meaning "ice tornado"). It is the a technique that captures his Cosmos into a single tornado, of which is unleashed via an uppercut. The Aurora Thunder Attack (オーロラサンダーアタック Õrora Thunda Attack) is a horizontal variation of the Kholodinyi Smerch. The "Aurora Thunder Attack" clasps both of Hyoga's hands together as he expels snow and ice at the opponent.Diamond Dust (ダイヤモンドダスト, Daiyamondo Dasuto): Basic technique of freezing, it is the basis of Hyoga's blows. Hyoga fire with a punch a burst of ice crystals attacking the enemy from the front, freezing and / or paralyzing it. With the evolution of the Hyoga's cosmos, the blow of containment was enough to defeat various enemies. It is generally the technique that uses Hyoga first, to test the strength of the opponent. The blow may sufer variations, as used to reflect the psychic blow of Phoenix Ikki.
