The Byakugan (白眼, literally "White Eye", Viz "Evil Eye") is a special pupil condition (Dōjutsu 瞳術, "eye technique") that naturally occurs in members of the Hyuga clan (and thus only characters from the Hyuga clan possess it).
Although it seems the abilities of the Byakugan are inferior to those of the Sharingan (believed to be its genetic relative) because it cannot copy techniques that it sees or hypnotize human targets, in terms of insight the former surpasses the latter, as stated by Kakashi during the Chūnin exams.
A person with the Byakugan has a nearly 360 degree field of vision, except for a small blind spot behind the first thoracic vertebrae (near the back of the neck), which is its only known weakness. Byakugan users can detect anything around them within a 50-meter radius (although later in the manga Neji Hyuga manages to increase the radius to 800 meters), making them close-range combat experts. The Byakugan also gives the user the ability to see through basically any matter over extremely long distances. This seems to be a combination of x-ray and thermographic vision, as it has been noted that objects can be difficult to see if their temperature is the same as the objects around them. A small degree of telescopic vision is also present, as a Byakugan user can focus on a single object at any point within their range of vision. The degree of focus seems to be dependent on the skill of the user. The Byakugan's sight cannot be blocked (except in the case of something like Ranmaru's kekkei genkai ability), unlike the Sharingan, which can be blocked by any sufficiently non-transparent substance, making it useful for searching, tracking, and identifying targets. It is however, possible to impede it slightly through the use of certain powerful seals.
One of the most powerful aspects of the Byakugan is the ability to see the inner chakra coil system, which is the key aspect of using Gentle Fist to attack the system. If sufficiently developed, the Byakugan is able to see individual chakra points, potentially allowing the user to shut off the opponent's chakra flow completely, such that the opponent cannot perform techniques that require chakra. Seasoned Byakugan users are even capable of killing with a single blow.
Protection of the Byakugan ability is very important to the Hyuga clan, and has led to the development of an elaborate family hierarchy. The Hyuga clan is divided into two houses: the main house (宗家, sō-ke) and the branch house (分家, bun-ke). The branch house's main purpose is to protect the main house and the secrets of the Byakugan. Branch house members' abilities and freedom are restricted through the means of a cursed seal. The cursed seal is placed on a branch house member's forehead. Through the means of a special technique that only main house members know, the seal can be activated. When the cursed seal is activated, the person's brain cells will be destroyed. Through the use of the cursed seal, the main house makes the branch house subordinate to its wishes. In addition, whenever a branch house member dies, the cursed seal will also seal the Byakugan ability so that enemies will not be able to discover the secrets of the bloodline limit if Konoha's hunter-nin were unable to find and dispose the body before the enemy found it.
There are several techniques developed specifically for Byakugan users, which complement and make use of the Byakugan's abilities -- most notable among which are the defensive barrier technique Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin and the high-speed precision attack Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms. Both Hinata and Neji have developed more powerful variants of these techniques.
Name: Jūken, 柔拳, literally "Gentle Fist" English Gentle Fist
Type: Unknown, probably: Hiden, No rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Hyuga clan
The Gentle Fist style of combat aims to damage the bodies' chakra circulatory system, thus inhibiting an opponent's use of chakra. To do this, the user will forcefully insert a small amount of their own chakra into an opponent's chakra circulatory system, causing the targeted area to rupture. Alternatively, or as an added bonus, the same method can be used to damage the opponent's internal organs, to which the chakra circulatory system is closely tied. Even the slightest tap from this style can cause major damage, hence the name.
Because the chakra circulartory system is invisible, the Byakugan is required for this style to be used effectively.
Name: Hakke Kūshō, 八卦空掌, literally "Eight Trigrams Empty Palm" (or "Eight Trigrams Wind Palm")
Type: Unknown, probably: Hiden, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Neji Hyuga
In a manner similar to Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin, only with a specific target rather than a general area, the user does a palm thrust at an opponent while expelling a large burst of chakra from their palm. This violently pushes the opponent away. The opponent does not need to be within reach of the user for the attack to be effective.
Name: Hakkeshō Kaiten, 八卦掌回天, literally "Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin" (a.k.a. "Divine Whirl" or "Divine Spin") Viz "Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation"
Type: Unknown, probably: Hiden, No rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Hyuga clan
This jutsu utilizes the chakra control gained through Gentle Fist training to release a large amount of chakra from the users palms. At the same time, the users spins themselves rapidly, creating a shield of chakra around themselves. This creates a defense that can stop any attack, and even throw people back if they get too close.
Name: Hakke Rokujū Yonshō, 八卦六十四掌, literally "Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms" English Eight Trigrams: Sixty Four Palm
Type: Unknown, probably: Hiden, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Hyuga clan
This jutsu closes off 64 specific chakra points on an opponent's body, effectively eliminating their ability to use chakra for quite some time. It begins with two heavy strikes, followed by two more, followed by four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two, and finally sixty-four consecutive strikes.
Name: Hakke Hyaku Nijūhachi Shō, 八卦百二十八掌, Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms (a.k.a. "Divination Field: or Divine One Hundred-Twenty Eight Strikes") Eight Trigrams: One Hundred-Twenty Eight Palm
Type: Unknown, probably: Hiden, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Neji Hyuga
This jutsu is essentially a doubled version of Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms. Like the former, it closes off the opponent's chakra points. Unlike the former, it closes off twice as many (128) at twice the speed. Alternatively, it can be used to hit a great number of targets very quickly.
