He tells Tojo she's too soft and kind to make a proper soldier and only got in because of her father. When talking with his friend Tojo he scoffs at seeing young Maki, the daughter of a General. During this time he was a colder and more detached man. Taking extreme measures to achieve victory that left him incapacitated, and showcasing defiance when other members of the White-Clads confronted him while he was powerless to stop them.īefore joining the Fire Brigade, Hinawa was a Seargent in the Armed Forces, being Maki's direct supervisor. However, Hinawa's concern is that his death would negatively impact his subordinate's well being served as his motivation to survive. Furthermore during his battle with Arrow, Hinawa felt that his life was meaningless and nobody should care whether he lived or died because he was willing to throw his life away if the situation called for it. For example, when Shinra was troubled by an encounter with Joker, Hinawa informed him that he would always be there to help sure with any issues he had. While Hinawa has maintained his serious and somewhat antagonistic personality over the years, he has expressed a willingness to help his allies and always has their best interests in his mind. Despite his surprising perceptiveness regarding the people around him, Hinawa does not think highly of himself, and was actually confused as to what his friend Tōjō meant, when the latter pointed out his criticisms were founded on compassion, instead of callous logic. This assessment highlights that, in spite of his bluntness and stoicism, Hinawa does care for his allies. While the pair served in the military, Hinawa noted that Maki had an exceptional work ethic, but felt that her kind nature would be her downfall and would render her dedication meaningless. Hinawa himself has stated that he does not have the virtue to forgive evil-doers. He is also rather close to Maki and often scolds her for playing with flames, though he is rather strict with his other teammates as well. When on the battlefield, he was shown to be rather rough, but also caring. He is deductive, as he determined that Shinra joined the brigade in order to make-up for his past mistakes.

He has shown to possess strong leadership qualities, observing and understanding situations almost immediately and coming up with a plan. As such, all but Akitaru quickly becomes genuinely scared of him and avoids being around him off-work, unless absolutely necessary. He is a very serious individual and doesn't like wasting time by joking around never beating around the bush. Hinawa is almost always seen with a stern look on his face, giving him an intimidating appearance. Hinawa's outfits contain patches with "8" on them, which signify his affiliation to the 8th Special Fire Brigade. As the story progresses, his various hats showcase outlandish designs. Other than this attire, he also wears an orange jumpsuit, dark shoes and a cap. On the battlefield, Hinawa is seen carrying a plethora of different artillery. Parts of his outfit are coated with blue lines. Hinawa also wears a neck protector, protective gloves and dark boots. Those are later topped by a protective outer jacket, the buttons of which are in the shape of cross-like symbols, and a helmet. He wears bunker gear, which consists of a dark tank top, buckled at the waist with a belt, which presses a middle part that's strapped to his shoulders, and trousers.
