== Appearance and Demeanor ==
Hinata was a lean and wiry man in his late forties with a friendly and outgoing demeanor, a ready smile, and a quick wit. He was extremely charismatic, but he was particularly amiable when dealing with commoners. His knowledge of the Tao of Shinsei was almost encyclopedic. Path of Waves, p. 163
== Heretic ==
Hinata was extremely popular among Hirosaka's commoners, who seemed to be his primary concern. He was a caring and good-humored leader to his congregants, and he had an abiding interest in the commoners. Secretly, however, Hinata was a devotee of the Perfect Land Sect,
coordinatiing its activities in the farmlands and villages surrounding Hirosaka. He met periodically with Michi, the monk in Twin Blessings Village, to discuss activities and events related to the sect there. Hinata occasionally taught commoners about the Perfect Land Sect and its beliefs, but he did so discreetly and indirectly, and only in the ramshackle confines of the hinin encampment.
