is a chūnin-ranked kunoichi of Kirigakure and a descendent of the world renowned Hyūga clan. As the product of an ill-fated union between a Konohagakure spy and a civilian from the Land of Water Saname's prospects in life would have been quite grim had it not been for the timely intervention of the Kiteru clan. While her father, the spy in question, was promptly executed by the village, the Kiteru were able to use their influence to accept both Saname and her mother into the household as legal vassals. This effectively protected the young Saname, who had come to manifest a single Byakugan, from having her eye stolen or being used by the village as a means to breed a branch of the Hyūga in Kirigakure.
