Hinako (anime character)

Hinako is a fictional character appearing in the OVA animes Issho ni Training: Training with Hinako, Issho ni Sleeping: Sleeping with Hinako and Issho ni Training 026: Bathtime with Hinako & Hiyoko. In Japanese, the character is voiced by Mai Kadowaki.[1] In the first OVA, Training with Hinako, Hinako is transformed into an anime figure through a television and then talks to the viewer. After that, she begins to exercise to lose some weight, providing the viewer with fan service in the process.[2] The video is in an interactive format, allowing the viewer to rearrange the scenes in the video.[3] The second OVA, Issho ni Sleeping: Sleeping with Hinako, shows Hinako going to bed and sleeping, while again addressing the viewer directly at the beginning. This second OVA has been panned for sometimes distracting from its main premise of showing the character sleep.[4]
