Himawari look like her mother, but has her father's face expressions. She even acts like her father and late grandma Kushina overall. She admires her father and older brother so much, that she wants to follow in both of their footsteps to become a great shinobi.

Background
Himawari is the second and youngest child of Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Hinata. On one peaceful morning during the winter time, she and her older brother Uzumaki Boruto, came running out to embrace their father while he was training outside. After which, they started a snowball fight, along with their mother joining in.

Years later, on the morning of Naruto's inauguration as the Seventh Hokage, Hinata asked her two children to wake their father up. While Himawari was unable to do so, Boruto proceeded to yell and jump on their father, effectively waking him up. While getting ready to go out, Himawari and Boruto got into an argument over her bringing her stuffed panda toy to the ceremony, which escalated to the toy being ripped in half. Despite Boruto's apologizing to her while blaming it on her as well, saying that it's her fault for ripping it the hardest.

However Himawari got so angry at Boruto, that she finally awakened her Byakugan for first time, and began attacking him. Naruto quickly rushed in to see what all the commotion was about, and tried to calm Himawari down after seeing her with the Byakugan. However she refused to listen, she then intended to strike Boruto's charka points. But when Naruto stood in front of Boruto, Himawari knocked her father out by hitting his charka points in a single strike instead. After her father went unconscious, Himawari then used her Byakugan to locate her brother who was hiding from her in a closet. After finding her older brother, she wonder if he was playing hide and seek with her, which resulted for her to do a happy angrily laugh.

Personality
Himawari is a cheerful and kind-hearted individual, as well as being considerate and curious. This was shown when she asked her mother if her late uncle Neji would like the sunflowers she brought for him. Including many years later by finding her father's old jacket, and even wondering if her father really wore it when he was young. To which she asked her mother (on-screen but muted) if the jacket she found really did belong to her father.

Enjoying whatever little time she had with her father, whenever he was not doing anything. Along with helping her mother out with the housework and is quite patient, supportive, and understanding with her often-absent father and his Hokage duties.

Himawari has a very close attachment to her parents, as she calls them "Papa" and "Mama" ("Daddy" and "Mommy" in the English version). When Hinata was injured during Momoshiki and Kinshiki's attack, Himawari stayed by her mother's bedside as she was healed by Sakura, while worriedly watching over her and holding her hand. At the same time, Himawari is not without a temper. When provoked enough, she can become very confrontational, showing an intimidating and violent side that is similar to her late grandma Kushina. This was proven enough to even make Boruto run away, and hide from her in fear.

Himawari asked her mother if Boruto did something bad, but Hinata remained silent and just hugged her without actually answering. When Momoshiki and Kinshiki suddenly appeared and attacked the arena, she fled with her mother.

Naruto even try to calm Himawari down, but she didn't listen. Naruto then stepped in to defend Boruto from Himawari's Gentle Fist-strike and took the blow instead, rendering him unconscious. This shows that he cares about both of his children's safety, even when he tries not to harm both of them. Even though Naruto's promotion to the Hokage title had him spending less time with his family than he used to, he still tries his hardest to spend time with her. It turns out that unlike Boruto, Himawari enjoys whatever little quality time she has with him due to his duties of being Hokage.

Due to this he sended six clones to get groceries and presents for Himawari's party. Then he ends up sending another clone to attend the party, to not disappoint her or Boruto.

Himawari was sad that her father didn't attend her party, since she knows that her father cares about her.
