Hinata

Hinata (ひなた), born Sohara Hinata (宗原ひなた) on June 11, 2002, in Japan, is the eldest member, main dancer, and sub vocalist of XG, the seven-member Japanese girl group under XGALX. She stands 157cm. She was officially revealed as the fourth member of XG on February 22, 2022, a month before the group debuted on March 18, 2022, with their first single "Tippy Toes." As main dancer, Hinata carries the technical precision benchmark for the group's choreographic identity. XG's movement style, which draws from K-pop training methodology but inflects it with a harder-edged, hip-hop-rooted approach, is substantially defined by how its dancers execute. Hinata's grounded energy and technical depth give the group's performance sequences their structural integrity. She is a member of XG VOX, the group's vocal sub-unit, demonstrating a range that extends beyond the performance specialist designation. On XG's first world tour "The first HOWL," the group performed across 35 cities and drew over 400,000 fans. As the eldest member, Hinata's role within the group dynamic carries the steady presence that the oldest position tends to hold in the K-pop group structure, a counterbalance to the more visibly expressive younger members.
