==Trivia==
*She shares the same given name as Hibiki Hojo from an anime series called Suite Pretty Cure♪ which has the same theme as music. She is also the main character like Hibiki, but she is the youngest member of the group as Ako Shirabe. Her theme colour and Ako's theme is orange and both have orange eyes and orange hair in their human form.
**She also shares the surname with Kanade Tachibana, from the anime series Angel Beats!.
*She is a big fan of Kazanari Tsubasa and Amou Kanade.
*She was born September 13 making her zodiac sign a Virgo.
*In a flashback in the second season, it is revealed that she lived with her mother and grandmother.
* In Hibiki's flashback in Season 2, Episode 2, her house is covered with messages possibly stuck on by the public/neighbours. The messages translate as death threats and orders to 'go away and never come back'. These threats are due to the fact that Hibiki was the sole survivor of the Noise attack during Tsubasa and Kanade's concert.
*Hibiki could touch the Noise in human form just before she used Gungnir due to her being fused with the Relic.
*To hold the relic Gungnir use causes massive dissemination of the same fragments in the body of Hibiki.
*Even in her berserk mode, Hibiki can be stopped by other users, as was shown in Season 2, Episode 6.
*Hibiki's transformation translates as "Desire to see fire beneath Ascended Gungnir". Interesting that in episode 6, Hibiki become faired when the Gungnir pieces came closer to her heart.
*As the first season takes place in the year 2042, this means that Hibiki was born in the year 2027. She was born on September 13.
*Maria's Gungnir can respond to Hibiki's call.
*Her going into a berserker state in the first and second seasons is similar to what happened to Naruto Uzumaki when he drew on too much of the Nine-Tailed Fox's power. If she felt stressed, she would start entering that state, and if it was allowed to progress too far, she became a threat to everyone around her.
