Hinatazaka46 (Japanese: 日向坂46) is a Japanese idol group produced by Yasushi Akimoto. The group was established as a subgroup of Keyakizaka46 named Hiragana Keyakizaka46 on November 30, 2015, and was renamed and spun off into its own group on February 11, 2019. The group's name is adopted from the alternate reading of Hyūgazaka Street in Mita, Minato-ku, Tokyo, following the custom of naming groups after sloping streets in the Sakamichi Series. The captain of the group is Kumi Sasaki and its fans are referred to as Ohisama (おひさま).
As a subgroup of Keyakizaka46, Hiragana Keyakizaka46's works were released as part of the main group's releases, except for the album Hashiridasu Shunkan (2018). As of June 2022, Hinatazaka46 has released seven singles and one album, and their first single, "Kyun", is the best-selling debut single by a female artist in Japan. Members of the group have also appeared in television dramas such as Re:Mind (2017), Dasada (2020), and Koeharu! (2021), the weekly variety show Hinatazaka de Aimashō, as well as two theatrically released documentaries.
History
2015–2018: Hiragana Keyakizaka46
The group was established as Hiragana Keyakizaka46 (けやき坂46) on November 30, 2015, as a subgroup of Keyakizaka46, with their name written in hiragana as opposed to kanji. Colloquially, Hiragana Keyakizaka46 was also known as Hiragana Keyaki, while the main Keyakizaka46 group was known as Kanji Keyaki.
At its founding, Hiragana Keyakizaka46 consisted of only one member, Neru Nagahama, who did not participate in the Keyakizaka46 final audition due to her parents' earlier disapproval and was assigned to the subgroup as a "special case"; she would later be appointed a "concurrent" (兼任, ken'nin) member of both groups and join the main Keyakizaka46 lineup starting from their second single, "Sekai ni wa Ai Shika Nai" (2016). Auditions were held soon after for Hiragana Keyakizaka46, and the first generation of eleven members joined the group in May 2016. The group was initially announced as the "under" group to Keyakizaka46 with the possibility of its members also being selected for the main group's song lineup, a system already practiced by Nogizaka46. Due to the two groups' increasing activities, Nagahama left Hiragana Keyakizaka46 in September 2017, becoming only a member of the main group. A second generation of nine people was added in August 2017, and a third, again consisting of only Hinano Kamimura, was added in November 2018 through a Sakamichi Series joint audition. Kumi Sasaki was appointed the group's captain in June 2018.
As a subgroup, Hiragana Keyakizaka46 released their music as part of the main group's singles and albums. Their first release as a group is the B-side "Hiragana Keyaki" (ひらがなけやき) from "Sekai ni wa Ai Shika Nai", although Nagahama did perform "Noriokureta Bus" (乗り遅れたバス, lit. 'Missed Bus') from Keyakizaka46's debut single "Silent Majority" (2016) with several Keyakizaka46 members. In concerts, the two groups often performed together, but Hiragana Keyakizaka46 also held independent concerts, including a nationwide Zepp tour in 2017 and a three-day Nippon Budokan performance in January 2018, after Keyakizaka46 pulled out due to lead singer Yurina Hirate's injury. Hiragana Keyakizaka46 also released an independent album in 2018 titled Hashiridasu Shunkan.
In terms of variety shows, Hiragana Keyakizaka46 initially appeared in Keyakizaka46's shows Keyakitte, Kakenai? and KeyaBingo!, and started their own show Hiragana Oshi in 2018. The first generation also appeared in the drama series Re:Mind in 2017.
From April to May 2018, Hiragana Keyakizaka46 members performed in the stage play Ayumi written by Yukio Shiba, where the characters (which consist of people of various ages and genders, as well as animals) was portrayed by different members on every scene change. The play was released on Hulu Japan in February 2021.
2019–present: Reborn as Hinatazaka46
Hiragana Keyakizaka46 became an independent group on February 11, 2019, and was renamed Hinatazaka46. The new name is an alternate reading of Hyūgazaka (日向坂) street in Minato-ku, Tokyo, following the custom of Sakamichi Series of having its groups named after sloping streets. The group's official Twitter and TikTok accounts were launched shortly, and their variety TV program was renamed to Hinatazaka de Aimashō. They also announced in a Showroom live broadcast that their fandom name would be Ohisama (おひさま), which is a slang for the Sun, as "just like a sunny place (日向, hinata) cannot exist without the Sun, [Hinatazaka46] cannot exist without the fans".
Their first single, "Kyun", was released on March 27, 2019, and surpassed 476,000 copies sold within the first week. The single became the best-selling debut single by a female artist in Japan, a record previously held by Keyakizaka46's "Silent Majority". "Kyun" also won the Best Choreography award at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards. On September 24, a rhythm game titled Uni's On Air was released that featured Keyakizaka46 and Hinatazaka46. Hinatazaka46 attended the 70th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen for the first time in the group's history, where they performed "Kyun". After that, "Azato Kawaii" was shown at the 71st NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, and "Kimi Shika Katan" was performed at the 72nd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, and "Kitsune" was performed at the 73rd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen. On January 16, 2020, the members of Hinatazaka46 were featured in a television series titled Dasada, with Nao Kosaka as the main protagonist. On February 16, 2020, three members were added to the third generation from the remaining unassigned members of the 2018 Sakamichi Series joint audition, bringing that generation up to four people. On July 31, 2020, Hinatazaka46 live streamed a concert titled Hinatazaka46 Live Online, Yes! With You!, where they announced that their first studio album will be released on September 23. Their mascot character, a sky blue bird named Poka, was introduced at the live streamed Hinakuri (Hina Christmas) 2020 concert on December 24.
On March 7, 2022, the group announced the audition for their fourth generation members with applications starting that day and screening taking place on April 4. Twelve members passed the audition out of 51,038 participants, and they were gradually introduced to the public from September 22 to October 3. They would make their musical debut with the song "Blueberry & Raspberry", included on the group's 8th single, "Tsuki to Hoshi ga Odoru Midnight". It was first shown at the Happy Smile Tour 2022 in Tokyo held on November 12–13, 2022.
On March 30–31, 2022, the group held their long-sought first Tokyo Dome concert, "Hinatazaka46 3rd Anniversary Memorial Live in Tokyo Dome" (3周年記念 Memorial Live ～3回目のひな誕祭～), attended by about 100,000 people in two days. The concert was originally scheduled for 2020, but postponed twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
From March 30, 2023, the Hinatazaka46 official website will start supporting in Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean.
On April 19, 2023, the group announced the launching of the Hinatazaka Channel on YouTube for content other than music.

Notable subgroups
These are the subgroups of Hinatazaka46 that have appeared in events independent of the group.
Hana-chans
Members: Suzuka Tomita, Konoka Matsuda
Hana-chans (花ちゃんズ, Hanachanzu) is an acoustic guitar duo unit, named after the flower (花, hana) kanji in both members' names. Their first song as a duo, "Masaka Gūzen..." (まさか偶然・・・, lit. 'Such Coincidence...'), was released as part of Hinatazaka46's third single.
On June 27, 2021, Hana-chans held their first independent live show on MTV Japan, titled MTV Acoustic Flowers – Until Full Bloom "Bell & Like"-, in which they covered Hinatazaka46 songs and Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together". The performance was originally planned as a concert scheduled for March 3, 2020, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic; "Until Full Bloom" was a reference to the postponed event, while "bell" (鈴, suzu) and "like" (好, konomu) were references to the duo's given names.
On October 5, the duo served as the opening act for MTV Live Match 2021, and also performed as part of Hinatazaka46 for the main event.
Saitama Trio/Color Chart
Members: Miku Kanemura, Akari Nibu, Miho Watanabe (before graduation)
The Saitama Trio (埼玉トリオ), or Saitama Sannin-gumi (埼玉3人組), was the unofficial name for the three Hinatazaka46 members, all from the second generation, who are natives of Saitama Prefecture. In September 2018, they served as one-day traffic chiefs of the Saitama Prefectural Police to promote traffic safety. In November 2020, they joined the Saitama Supporters Group (埼玉応援団, Saitama Ōen-dan), a public relations group consisting of popular artists from the prefecture.
In October 2020, the trio started the radio program Belc presents Hinatazaka46 no Yokei na Kotomade Yarimashō! on Tokyo FM; the supermarket chain Belc, which sponsors the program, subsequently released limited edition food products in collaboration with them. They also became voice actresses for the first animated miniseries based on the character Pickles the Frog, which first became associated with Hiragana Keyakizaka46 in 2017 after Kanemura gave a Pickles doll to each second generation member as Christmas presents.
In February 2021, the Saitama Trio were voted the most wanted unit (subgroup with their own songs) by fans on a Twitter campaign to commemorate Hinatazaka46's second debut anniversary. Hinatazaka46's sixth single, released in October 2021, would include their first song as a trio, "Akubi Letter" (あくびLetter, lit. 'Yawn Letter'), performed under the unit name Color Chart (カラーチャート); the name is a reference to a nickname for Saitama Prefecture, "Sai no Kuni" (彩の国, transl. Land of Colors).
