Personality
A passionate character, Hinako is a firm believer of human decency. She constantly looks after everyone and when there are problems, she is quick to be almost suicidal. Ironically, she refuses to change into a more modest outfit because she claims it wouldn't have as much impact as her current one.

Hinako is a rival to Airi Ban. The two contrast each other, the two being individuals with talents in the entertainment field however having differing views regarding their fields. Hinako preservers with her aspiration of dancing and has the strong constitution to follow through with her goals. Airi, however, is someone who threw away her dream, quite bitterly, but tries to become flexible and adapt to the situation around her.

If the player chooses to show feelings for her rather than Io, she will eventually start showing affection back. It is likely that she had feelings for him the entire time, eventually even loving him.

She aids the group in revealing the location shown in Keita's Death Clip, and joins them in defeating to demons to save him.

5th Day Thursday's Shock
Operation: Third Eye is planned, where Shiva is to shoot down Alioth using his Pasupata. As Shiva is known as the Lord of Dance, an expert dancer - Hinako - is needed to summon him. As Hinako begins her dance to summon Shiva, demons appear around the area, drawn to Shiva's aura of power. The player must defeat all the demons while protecting Hinako and allowing her to complete her dance. Once she finishes, an applause is heard, and Shiva appears, agreeing to lend her his strength once. When Operation: Third Eye begins, Shiva is summoned, but Hinako ends up keeping him occupied while they wait for Kama to shoot him. Once Shiva gets shot, the protagonist and Hinako quickly evacuate the area as he prepares his Pasupata.

6th Day Friday's Partings

2nd Day Monday's Turmoil
Hinako welcomes the party, introduces herself, and introduces Keita after Hibiki and the rest arrive at Osaka branch's secret subway train, and joins the party to search for Fumi. She leads the party to Fumi's lab where she was last seen, stating that there's no clue regarding her disappearance.

Several times later, Hinako and the party arrives at JP's Osaka main bureau shortly after hacker's attack. She gives suggestion to shut down the power but is refused because doing so will release Tsutenkaku's barrier, thus making Osaka susceptible to invaders. Shortly after Hinako receives Keita's death clip in abandoned Festival Gate, limiting their search for the hacker to Festival Gate. Hinako and the rest of the party, along with other 8 JP's summoners are sent there.

At first she and others made in time to save Keita from preventing his "death" by sending Lilim to lift him from a sharp iron bar. Hinako then join forces with Keita along with Hibiki to hold out for demons while Io and Daichi goes to look for the hacker nearby. Shortly after, Hinako, Hibiki, and Keita witness Botis holding Io's neck with attempt to fall her down, but is saved by Keita's Berserker. Hinako goes after Io who points at the hacker, revealing the hacker as Fumi. She proceeds to attack Botis by using Lilim but results in Lilim's defeat.

After Hibiki and Keita successfully hit Botis and Daichi destroys Fumi's PC, Botis reappears behind Fumi, knocks Berserker, and hits it with lightning. The moment they wake up, she's found with Keita's dead body under the stairs, grieving over Keita's death.

Before being sent to fight Merak, she tells Io that a day before, Keita helped her when she's unable to move due the a falling dubris by having Berserker lifted it and joined JP's afterwards. She is then called to be on the defense line and states that she cannot stay still and do nothing. She then tells Io that she should stay by Hibiki's side since Hibiki is blaming himself for Keita's death even though it's not his fault. When Merak attacks the Tsuutenkaku, Hinako joins one of the many JP's battalions in an attempt to wear it down. She is in a bind, but Hibiki saves her with Byakko before the attack could hit her. As Hibiki turns up and attempts to fight it in vain, Merak turns its attention to him and his Byakko, and begins focusing its fire on them. Hinako, along with the rest of her battalion, takes the blow in Byakko's place, and she is heavily injured as a result. She asked why Io is not with him and realized that both of them missed each other, commenting how dumb they are before fainting. After Merak was defeated, she regains her consciouness, relieved that Hibiki has defeated Merak.

4th Day Wednesday's Changes
She greets Hibiki, Daichi, and Io when they arrived back in Osaka to fight against Megrez that manifested there. The three are relieved that she's still alive, especially Hibiki who breaks into tears. She then hugs Hibiki, comforting him.

5th Day Thursday's Shock
She and Airi is chosen to summon two specific demons needed to defeat Alioth. Hinako is chosen based from her aptitude that her dancing skill is far more efficient to awaken Shiva than the dancers prepared by JP's. After defeating Alioth, she attends dinner at night as Yamato announces his goal.

6th Day Friday's Partings
Hinako along with the others witness Io being sacrifice for Lugh.

7th Day Satursday's Coexistence
she along with everyone else gets a death clip and fight Benetnasch. Her berserker is than withdron and runs away with everyone but falls in to a pit. Hinako gets killed by Dudbe's copies and ask Daichi  to take care of Io as her final request.

Last Day Sunday's Fruition
When the world has been reset to the beginning by Hibiki's wish, Hinako decide to leave her household to travel and see how popular her dancing skill can get and after that she will consider taking over her family business until she returns.

Fate System
At Fate 1 she gains resistance to Ice, at Fate 3 she unlocks Femme Peri (Lv. 38), and at Fate 5 Megami Isis (Lv. 55).

Hinako's Fate events center around the worth of a talent like dancing in the post-apocalyptic world of Devil Survivor 2. In the first events of her Fate route, Airi criticizes Hinako's talent for being worthless as it has no apparent practical value. As the player progresses along the Fate events, this sentiment reinforces itself as Hinako is unable to help out civilians in danger, and is forced to rely on the skills of the other Demon Tamers. However, after Alioth's defeat, Airi admits to being impressed by Hinako's performance during Shiva's summoning, and requests for an encore. This eventually rekindles Hinako's passion in dancing, and she even offers to teach Airi.

Stats
Hinako's build is similar to that of Daichi's, though with a greater emphasis on Strength and Agility. This makes her hit harder and faster than Daichi (at the cost of stat points in Magic and Vitality), but leaves her vulnerable to counterattacks if she doesn't finish off the enemy first. Like Daichi and Keita, she is an excellent user of Multi-Hit and Multi-Strike thanks to her high Strength and Agility stats, though she must have insurance against opponents that reflect physical attacks as they ignore Pierce. This can be alleviated through the use demons with magic attacks, or Holy Strike if cracked in NG+. She is considered to be one of the best offensive characters in the whole game, stat-wise, as she is self-sufficient.

Shadow Hinako, as an Enemy
Shadow Hinako appears on a team with Shadow Daichi and Shadow Jungo.
