Hinagiku Katsura is the current student council president and kendo club president at Hakuou Academy, the school that Nagi, Isumi, and eventually Hayate attends. She is fifteen and is an expert with swords, specifically kendo. She first meets Hayate when he gets lost on the huge Hakuou campus and ends up rescuing her. She had been helping a baby bird who had fallen out of its nest, but due to her fear of heights, had become stuck without her realizing it. Hayate ends up helping her down the tree, and then promises that he will come help her should she ever call for him. In gratitude, she invites him to the top of the clock tower, where only student council elites are allowed. She allows Hayate to call her by her first name and also seems to be infatuated by Hayate and his attractive personality. Her family does not show any signs of being rich. The yellow hair band she is always seen wearing was a birthday present from her real parents.

It is revealed that Hinagiku suffers from a past nearly identical to that of Hayate's, She, along with her sister, had also been abandoned by their biological parents who left them with a debt of 80 million yen (approximately $660,000 US) shortly before Hinagiku's sixth birthday. Following this, her sister, Yukiji, managed to pay off the debt through dubious means and the two of them went to live with the Katsura family, as Mr. Katsura had been Yukiji's elementary school teacher. When Hinagiku finally sees the beautiful view from atop the clock tower on the night of her sixteenth birthday with Hayate's help, though, she finally realizes that she actually loves him. She had been afraid of admitting this to herself because she thought that he would have abandoned her like her parents did if she fell in love with him. She likens her feelings to the scenery atop the clock tower: she had been unable to see them because she had been too scared to. When Hayate asks her if she's still scared, she replies that while she is, it's not a bad feeling, which is a possible response to both her fear of heights as well as her fear of abandonment. Hinagiku's problems are not over yet, however,  when Nishizawa and Hayate were staying over at Hinagiku's house, she promised Nishizawa that she would support her in her relationship with Hayate. Now having fallen in love with Hayate herself, she must come to terms with her feelings of betrayal as she tries to find a way to tell Nishizawa about her feelings. In addition, Hayate himself doesn't seem to think that Hinagiku could have feelings for him, although Nagi seems convinced otherwise.

Hina is one of the first to know that Hayate actually fail the entrance exam and accompanied Yukiji, the one ordered by the school's Superintendent to inform Hayate about his failure, to Nagi's mansion to do so. After Hayate's fight with Kaede, Hina is the first to ask Hayate to show her a ultimate move, something Hayate find out that it is important for a butler to possess, once he has learned it. When found out about the Butler Battle Tournament, Hina tries to stop the Superintendent from having her way in manipulating her students' lives, hoping to win this tournament and defeat the Superintendent's butler and make a deal with her through that. However, she is defeated by Hayate at the finals and can only persuade Hayate to help her achieve that.

Hinagiku find herself falling in love with Hayate and become frustrated by this. But after going out with him in an impromptu date, she discover that loving him isn't really a bad idea after all. She possess a plushie that she liked bought by Hayate.
