== Charactah Account ==
Hikaru is an imaginative and curious second-year student who loves constellations and space. She can be rather stubborn too, in which she will investigate anything that interests her thoroughly and acts on intuition.
Hikaru is also ecstatic and has a tendency to drag people into certain activities she finds intriguing, unaware that her enthusiasm can be disrespectful to others. She is also supportive and caring towards others. She does, however, have moments where she can become deeply upset.
According to Sorami Ryoutarou, Hikaru used to be selfish because she would go along with things as long as she believed it was fun, but now she considers her friends much more than before.

* Along with Cure Yell and Cure Grace, Hikaru and her team are among the few Pretty Cure guests starring in the dance ending sequence featured at the end of the movie, Super Sentai Movie Party. This marks the first live action appearance of the Pretty Cures in the Super Sentai series. Prior to the dance number, Hikaru talks with Koh a.k.a Ryusoul Red and Atsuta Juru a.k.a Kiramai Red, with the latter referring to her as his "senpai".

* The translation of Hikaru's catchphrase as Twincool—a portmanteau of twinkle and cool—began in unofficial English fanmade subtitles before being officially getting recognized in merchandise.
* According to head writer Murayama Isao, a producer from ABC suggested the name "Akari" as an alternative to Hikaru, which he viewed as "too strong". Murayama thought "Akari" would be interesting since the character would share a name with the producer, Yanagawa Akari, but Hikaru was ultimately chosen.
