Hakaru Hoshigaki

**Notice Regarding Hakaru's Gender**
Glad you Came Wiki acknowledges that Hakaru Hoshigaki identifies as a man, and thus our articles use he/him pronouns for Hakaru or on the rare occasion she/her. With regard to the story's universe, our primary source, Hakaru has, time and time again, in unambiguous terms, referred to himself as a man, and that takes precedence over all else. We hope that this decision will unite the community. Thank you for your patience.

**Hakaru Hoshigaki** (*星垣はかる, Hoshigaki Hakaru*) is a S-rank missing-nin of Kirigakure’s Hoshigaki Clan. He is the leader of the Devil’s Nest Gang alongside Bido, Dolcetto and Roa.

## Background

Hakaru was born into the Hoshigaki clan as a hermaphrodite this in turn caused him to be shunned as a child and in turn abandoned by his parents. He began taking up a life of crime as a child until his early teens. He was sought out by The Suicide Squad for his crimes and how brutal they were. This ended after he threatened Feitan at swordpoint. Feeling rejection again, he formed his own gang known amongst shinobi as the Devil’s Nest Gang.

## Personality

Hakaru is filled with and motivated by his avaricious nature. It could be said that the reason why he wanted all that life has to offer was because he didn't know exactly what he wanted from it, which fuels his desire to have it all. He has an easygoing, charismatic, arrogant personality and tends to do what he wants. He is also somewhat narcissistic, claiming part of the reason he doesn't use his ultimate shield to his fullest extent is because it masks his attractive face. He claims to not hurt women and (to an extent) children. In addition, he states he never lies (though he tells only one lie in order to save Ling's life). While he normally possesses a calm, confident nature, when angered he can be rather impulsive and ready to go into a fight with those he feels have wronged him. However, he shows some capacity for adapting to his fights and is willing to protect his allies (and later innocent civilians). On a side note, he seems very charismatic and has shown good leadership skills, first with his friends. In addition, while he seems to see humans as weak and powerless, he never had sociopath tendencies or even hatred towards humans the way the others did. In the end, he even grows to respect their power and tenacity.

After being killed and reborn, he initially had no memories of his former life. He retained his mocking arrogant, easygoing personality, faithfully doing his job. He also slowly develops a bond with Ling, whose body he shares and whose greed nearly matches his, and the prince helps him realize what he truly desires. He does get annoyed when Ling tries to take over his body, especially without his permission, though the two manage to work together well as a team.

However, deep down Hakaru wants nothing more than true friends who cared for him and for whom he cared for, though given his personality he often cloaks this by calling his friends and henchmen "possessions". As Ling pointed out, the Devil's Nest were the only part of his life that Hakaru chose and were his real family; in fact, he *never* sought to ditch them for better cronies, truly being worthy of their respect and loyalty.
