Hinata Wakatsuki (若月 日向 Wakatsuki Hinata) is a manager for TSUKINO TALENT PRODUCTION. He is the manager of the unit SOARA.
Appearance[]
Hinata is a man of average height, with dark sandy colored hair and similarly colored eyes. He has been noted to have a baby-face, looking no older than the idols he manages, when in reality he's already in his thirties.[1]
Personality[]

Hinata seems to be quite laidback in most of his interactions with the idols and other managers, but is shown to be a hard worker to the point of being trusted by the company president to fulfil certain vital roles.
He is also incredibly passionate about his family, often talking about how much he loves his wife, much to the disgust of some of the young idols under his management.[1]
