Appearance

Hikari has brown hair with two pigtails and light purple decals. She has a few freckles. She is commonly shown wearing her most iconic outfit, which consists of a white shirt, blue dress, red bow, white knee-high stockings, and black MaryJanes.

Profile

She takes her role as the "class representative" seriously, and although she frequently bickers with Tōji, when Asuka asks her about her feelings for him, she tells Asuka that she is in love with him, but she is unable to confess that.

Because a major part of her job is to make sure the class follows proper protocol, Hikari first appears to be slightly aggressive, hot-blooded, and rigid. Despite being a bossy and quick-tempered tomboy, she might believe that herself, as she apparently thinks that her skill in cooking might be unexpected when she tells Toji about it (presuming that something so feminine would be at odds with her strong promotion of the rules).

She also appears to be Asuka's only and best friend. Hikari is an accomplished cook who appears to take care of her two sisters. Like presumably every one of Shinji's classmates, Hikari's mother is dead. However, no references were ever made as to whether her father is, either. Her given name, and that of her unseen younger sister, Nozomi, and elder sister, Kodama, is also in reference to the names of the trains of the Tokaido Shinkansen line. She is also featured in a live action deleted scene in The End of Evangelion. She is voiced by Junko Iwao in Japanese, by Carol Amerson in the English adaptation of the TV series, by Kimberly Yates in Death and Rebirth (Yates re-recorded Amerson's lines).

Hikari is not seen after the evacuation of Tokyo-3 following the battle with Armisael. However, it is implied that she lives in the suburbs, as Misato eventually sends Pen Pen to live with the Horaki family after that same incident in hopes that he would be safer with them. Hikari was seen earlier (in Episode 9) to have taken a liking to Pen Pen.

In Other Media

Neon Genesis Evangelion manga

In the manga, Hikari is depicted with a slightly different shade of hair. She is not seen as much with Asuka as she is in the anime, though they are still shown to be good friends, and her feelings for Toji are stronger than they are in the anime, providing grounds for a major tragedy when Toji is killed by Unit-01 during the Bardiel incident. In a Gainax promotional artwork picture she is shown in an orange plugsuit as the pilot for EVA Unit-05.

After Instrumentality is rejected, she is neither seen nor mentioned again.
