Kō Hyūga

is a shinobi of Konohagakure and a branch member of the Hyuga clan. Hanabi and Hiashi Hyuga were away on a mission. So, Ko was the one protecting Hinata when Pain attacked Konoha. As Hinata tried to help Naruto, Kō called her back. He claimed that she would only be a burden to Naruto. Later, he watched in horror with his Byakugan as Hinata went ahead anyway. He was unable to restrain her due to a broken leg he had sustained when Pain used his Shinra Tensei on the entire village.
