The marriage of Naruto and Hinata resulted in two children. Himawari is their younger child and only daughter. Both Himawari and her brother, Boruto, are a combination of their parents. While Boruto seems more like their father, Himawari takes after her their mother. Himawari is a sweet girl who has already shown incredible promise.
She began ninja training at a young age. Her status as a member of the Hyuga Clan has given her the right to be trained in the gentle fist. Her short, dark hair and pale colored jacket give her a similar appearance to a young Hinata. Himawari and Hinata have both a similar temperament and appearance.

8 DIFFERENT: Himawari Has A Great Relationship With Her Grandfather
Hiashi was the leader of the Hyuga Clan. He had grown up a warrior and knew that his clan had to be ready for war. He was tough on his daughters, acting more like a leader than a good father. He didn’t believe in his younger daughter which lead to a strained relationship between the two.

Himawari has a lot of options open to her. She is shown struggling to decide on whether or not she will join the ninja academy. Though she has already shown she could become more powerful than her father, she still has a multitude of non-ninja-related interests.
5 SAME: Both Were Trained To Fight From A Young Age
Hinata’s training began within her family. She was taught to use her Byakugan as well as the gentle first style. Her training didn’t seem to do much good as she was always reluctant to fight. Though when she was forced to fight her cousin, she refused to back down.
Himawari’s training also began at a young age. Like her mother, she was taught to fight in the Hyuga’s signature style. She was shown to quickly master chakra control when she decided to try the Academy’s training course.

2 DIFFERENT: Himawari Grew Up In A Peaceful, Loving Time
Hinata grew up being trained for war, and with an emotionally distant father. Her mother’s fate is never officially revealed, but most fans assume she is dead. Hinata’s early years would have been vastly different from her daughter’s.

1 SAME: They Both Possess The Byakugan
At a young age, Himawari showed she had inherited the Byakugan from her mother. She has yet to fully master the incredible power, but she likely will develop her Byakugan skills as she grows.
By the start of Naruto, Hinata already had a firm grasp on how to use the Byakugan. She already had years of training under her belt. By Naruto: Shippuden, Hinata shows exactly what her kekkei genkai can do. With time, Himawari will no doubt be able to grow her skill as well.
