Hinako Ninomiya has a very special type of metabolism. She can use two special techniques, (with variations) that no one else is known to use. Hinako can absorb an opponent's aura/chi or agressive energy in battle, she can then channel that energy into a fireball striking her opponent with their own energy. Happosai taught her these techniques when she was a sick child.

However, she requires a circular object to drain energy from someone, and for this she normally uses coins (Japanese coins having holes in the middle), but for blasting it back, she just needs her hands to from a circle. She is very flexible in her chi-sucking move. She can, and has used just about anything circularly-shaped. Hinako can also drain from two sources at once, using two circles. Her skills in actual hand-to-hand combat, next to nothing, and she does have a problem being a bit of a scatter-brain, especially while in her child form.
