Etymology
Hinata is often associated with sunflowers because his full name written in kanji (葵日向) is sunflower (向日葵) written backwards.

Voice Actor Comment
"Hinata-kun and Yuta-kun both have this cheerful, mischievous, and friendly image, but Hinata-kun is supposedly more spirited, while Yuta-kun is slightly troubled by his older twin, and I find this configuration kind of charming. During the recording sessions, I kept thinking about how fun it would be to interact with one's siblings like this every day, as I'm the eldest between my siblings." (Enstars!)
