==History==
Hikaru was originally a stunt pilot until, in the midst of the Zentradi's attack on Earth to destroy the SDF-01, he was unwittingly drafted into UN Spacy and piloted a Valkyrie to fend off the Zentradi attack. Hikaru later formally joined UN Spacy and became part of the squadron led by his mentor Roy Focker. Along the way, Hikaru began a relationship with famous pop idol Lynn Minmay though became conflicted when he developed feelings for his superior officer Misa Hakase. Roy was eventually promoted to Second Lieutenant and gained two wingmates to command, Corporals Hayao Kakizaki and Maximillian Jenius. After Roy was tragically fatally wounded in battle, Hikaru took command of the squadron and later led them into the final battle against the main Zentradi fleet.
After the war against the Zentradi ended with much of Earth's surface being bombarded into rubble, but the main Zentradi fleet being destroyed as well, Hikaru settled down and assisted in the reconstruction of Earth being jointly done by both humans and Zentradi, only to be called back into action when a group of Zentradi remnants led by Quamzin Kravshera began a campaign of terror across the Earth to avenge the Zentradi's defeat. He would later defeat Quamzin once and for all by destroying his flagship before entering into space on board the newly constructed SDF-02 alongside Misa, whom he had finally realized his feelings for and entered into a relationship with.
