D = 2 N = (4, 4) harmonic superspace analysis is developed. The underlying untwisted (4, 4) non linear sigma-models are studied. A method of deriving chiral (4, 0) and (0, 4) models is presented. The Lagrange superparameter used to put the constraint specifying the hyperkahler manifold structure is predicted and its relation to the matter superfield is stated in a covariant way. A known construction is recovered. The authors show also that (4, 4) model is not a direct sum of its chiral ones. Finally a twisted (4, 4-bar) model is obtained.
