Hikaru is a girl who dreams of becoming a superheroine and saving the world from evil. As the “good guy” sentai hero, she is honest to a fault. As an idol, she always dons her sentai wear which usually consists of a feminine-style heroic outfit, a set of goggles, a utility belt, and a scarf. While the type of shows she likes is for a male audience, she loves heroic series like Super Sentai and Kamen Rider.

In the tie-in Cinderella Girls Theater skits, Hikaru yearns to be a real-life hero and believes that her dreams will only be fully realized when she becomes one. When it is revealed that she doesn’t have a catchphrase to say for her transformation sequence, she freaks out and asks Akiha Ikebukuro to redesign her hero suit with this in mind. She is apparently friends with [Chika Yokoyama](https://anilist.co/character/139604), who has her own magical girl show.
