Sonoka Hibiki

is a guest character who appeared in Ultraman Dyna. She is Gousuke Hibiki's daughter.
==Personality==
Sonoka inherited her father's stubborn and adventurous personality, and as she grew older, she gradually developed a rebellious streak. Throughout the series, she displays a characteristic of sticking to her own opinions and enjoys challenging authority. 
Her relationship with her father is relatively discordant because he often communicates with her in a commanding manner. This unequal distance creates a sense of loneliness in her, and she perceives herself as lacking a clear sense of belonging. Furthermore, as her friends one by one leave her life, this leaves Sonoka feeling frustrated and confused, leading to a sense of doubt.
In order to uncover the truth behind a series of mysterious events, she exhibits a keen sense of observation and is capable of independently seeking out clues.
==History==
===Pre-Ultraman Dyna===
Sonoka is a member of the teenage team "Roller Kids," a small group that cruises around town wearing roller skates. She shares a close relationship with the team's leader, Sho.
However, at some point before the series, a significant personality change occurred among her group of delinquent friends. As team members, one by one, abandoned their interests and departed the group, she and Sho began to suspect underlying issues. When Sho ventured alone to investigate the rumored "appearance of monsters" at the D7 warehouse, he transformed into a completely different "good kid" overnight.
When Sonoka attempted to seek comfort from Sho after an argument with her father, Sho distanced himself from her, leaving her heartbroken. Later, she found and cared for an abandoned cat, leading her to believe that the recent transformation of more and more peers into "good kids" might be part of a conspiracy orchestrated by aliens.
===Ultraman Dyna===
When she watched the press conference of Super GUTS deploying GUTS Eagle Alpha-Superior on the streets of Shibuya, she witnessed a confrontation between a journalist named Kaoru Hasumi and her father. This incident piqued Sonoka's interest in Hasumi. The following day, she arrived at Hasumi's office with her cat and asked him for assistance in investigating the events involving Sho.
Initially, Hasumi held a different perspective, believing that Sonoka's friends might have left the group due to disillusionment with their previous immature behavior. He thought that Sonoka might be escaping reality due to loneliness, creating a fantasy world involving extraterrestrial conspiracies, but her sleeping posture reminded Hasumi of his own daughter. Therefore, he decided to assist her and initiated an investigation into Sho.
By this time, Sho had transformed from an unruly delinquent into a well-behaved young man. When Hasumi inquired about his thoughts, Sho expressed his hope that Sonoka would consider planning for her future and not continue as a rebellious teenager. They continued investigating Sho into the evening but witnessed him having dinner with his family at a restaurant. Seeing Sho's happy family, Hasumi reminisced about his own past, where he had enjoyed a harmonious life with his family. While Sonoka still found Sho's transformation peculiar, Hasumi believed, "Let's say you're right. But what's wrong about it? To stop being a disobedient child and to live in peace with your family....What's bad about that? You just don't want to accept the truth! That's why you're getting delusions about aliens..." 
He considered harmonious family life as the norm and advised Sonoka not to evade reality and to return home if there was a place for her. Subsequently, he drove her out of his office. Before leaving, Sonoka expressed her anger, saying, "Adults are mean! They're all like Dad! They only see what's convenient for them!"
The next day, Sonoka discovered that the root of the problem lay within the D7 warehouse. She informed Hasumi of this, but by the time Hasumi arrived at the scene, she had already been drained of negative energy by the Alien Naltis. Upon Hasumi's arrival, Sonoka admitted that she had, in reality, pulled Hasumi into a "detective game," simply to challenge her disapproving father. Subsequently, Captain Hibiki appeared, and it was only then that Hasumi learned that Sonoka was, in fact, Captain Hibiki's daughter.
Seeing Sonoka sincerely apologize to her father, Hasumi was initially puzzled but quickly understood the situation. He attempted to return the abandoned kitten to Sonoka. However, Sonoka refused the kitten, and Hasumi sensed that something was amiss and questioned her. It was at this moment that Asuka, conducting the final test flight mission for Alpha-Superior, detected a mysterious signal and came to investigate. Everyone present was strongly affected, falling into a deep state of unconsciousness.
Subsequently, Sonoka remained in a state of unconsciousness, and Alien Naltis explained to the now awakened Hasumi, Captain Hibiki, and Asuka that their plan was to eliminate human resistance spirits by collecting the negative energy of young people to create the existence of Menorfa. However, other members of Super GUTS arrived at the scene in time to rescue them. To protect the unconscious Sonoka, Captain Hibiki injured his arm as the warehouse collapsed, and he then entrusted Sonoka's care to Hasumi. Hasumi left the scene with Sonoka on his back and witnessed the battle between Ultraman Dyna, Super GUTS, and Menorfa.
At the moment when Dyna faced a crisis, Captain Hibiki, piloting Alpha-Superior, was confronted with a choice: whether to kill Menorfa to release his daughter's negative emotions or to cease fire, allowing his daughter to permanently rid herself of negativity. However, after choosing to accept the answer of "all of Sonoka's love, hatred, and contradictions," he ultimately opted to defeat Menorfa because he wished for Sonoka to remain true to herself. Dyna successfully released the anger and hatred absorbed by Menorfa and returned it to the people. Everyone, including Sonoka, reverted to their original nature.
After the resolution of the incident, she, along with Sho and others, returned to their previous state and formed a band together. Her relationship with her father, Captain Hibiki, became even more harmonious. When she saw Hasumi by the river once again, she warmly greeted him. After a brief conversation and mentioning Captain Hibiki's recovery, they went their separate ways, and Hasumi used his camera to capture her, preserving a joyful moment for Sonoka.
