The Hinata Group is a multinational pan-Coalition mega-conglomerate primarily known for its involvement in the industries of electronics, bio-engineering research, chemicals, telecommunications products, and their financial and bioinformatics services.

The Hinata group is a sitting member on the Coalition Corporate Advisory Committee (CCAC).

Since its founding in 2155, the Hinata Group has created and acquired several corporate subsidiaries in order to expand into broader markets. Despite the Hinata Group's humble beginnings as a small electronics manufacturer, it has since grown into a multi-trillion dollar mega-conglomerate consisting of eight major subsidiaries and 566 operations across the Coalition.

The Hinata Group is currently headquartered in the Hinata Towers in Finance District, Hyperion. In 2697, Hinata reported CCRᑕ 35.18 trillion in income. Hinata is ranked third on the Divination magazine "Coalition 500" list (2697).

Origins
Originally founded as Hinata Technologies in 2155 by Katsuro Hinata, the small company was based out of the Japanese city of Nagisaki. In its early stages, the nascent company was most notable for its manufacturing of Smart OLED displays. The company quickly branched out into other industries, becoming important players within the biotechnology and defense fields. In 2241—following the aftermath of the Corporate Wars—Hinata Technologies acquired sanoese defense firm Aoki Dynamics, as well as Ishibashi Biotechnologies. These acquisitions would later become Hinata Security Company and Hinata Biotechologies (respectively) in 2253, following Hinata Technologies' organizational restructuring into the Hinata Group.
