Hinano Kamimura (上村ひなの) is a Japanese singer, actress, and television personality. She is a member of the female idol group Hinatazaka46.

Career
Before she became an idol, Kamimura had met Miho Watanabe in a handshake session, and her admiration of Watanabe was one of the reasons why she had wanted to become an idol. On August 19, 2018, Kamimura passed the Sakamichi Series Joint Audition and was assigned to Hiragana Keyakizaka46 (now Hinatazaka46), and first appeared in the group's concert on December 13 at the Nippon Budokan. Her catchphrase is "A curveball anytime, anywhere, Hinanonano!" (いつでもどこでも変化球、ひなのなの！). She is the only third generation Hinatazaka46 member to have been a Hiragana Keyakizaka46 member; this has drawn comparisons to Neru Nagahama, who was the only Hiragana Keyakizaka46 member when the group was formed.

Reception
Kamimura has been described as a unique character who combines "seriousness" and "surrealism" and has been noted for her inventive use of words. Real Sound commented that the rock-style dance music of her solo song "Ichiban Suki da to Min'na ni Itte ita Shōsetsu no Taitoru o Omoidasenai" (一番好きだとみんなに言っていた小説のタイトルを思い出せない) was "unexpected from a Sakamichi group" and compared her "cool and powerful" singing voice to Ami Suzuki.

Personal life
Kamimura is an only child.

Kamimura enjoys the long-running detective series AIBOU: Tokyo Detective Duo and was one of the entertainers interviewed for the show's twentieth anniversary commemoration in 2019.
