"A prim and proper lady with Sumo skills? Only she can pull off such a combo! HINAKO SHIJO."
- The King of Fighters XV

Hinako Shijo (四条しじょう 雛子ひなこ) is a character in The King of Fighters series. She was first introduced as a member of the Women Fighters Team in The King of Fighters 2000. Her official nickname is "Sumo Sweetie" (天然相撲てんねんすもう嬢様じょうさま).

Development[]

She was originally modeled after manga title character, Jarinko Chie, who is a brash young woman that fights with sumo moves. After designer's protests, her character was radically changed to instead be a naive but warm-hearted high school girl in nobility. She was intended to fight barefoot, but the idea was scrapped. The tape remaining on her fingers is a tiny remnant of her original concept.[1] She is also a character who became less popular than expected, perhaps due to the lack of female sumo wrestlers at the time.[2]

Personality[]

Hinako is a kind girl who wishes to prove that girls can also practice sumo. Although she is somewhat shy, but also a very loyal friend.
