Trivia[]
- Hidaka (日高) means “sun-tall”―日 meaning ‘Day’ and 高 meaning ‘Sun’―and Kota (幸太) means “happiness or good fortune”.
- His canon counterpart has no name and from his debut in the Chūnin Exams in the manga, he was not seen again until chapter 599 in a flashback of when he himself participated during the exams.
- In addition to being a former student of Orochimaru, he would later have his own team who were actually Orochimaru's spies. It is unknown if he was unaware of this or was also a spy himself; however, while all his students left Konoha after the Chūnin Exams, the teacher himself remained.
