Personality[]
Her nickname is Pikarun, but most people don't actually call her Pikarun. She is usually called "Hikaru-chan" by many fans and members. She created a new word, "Nyosu". She used this word alone at first, but now members use this word sometimes. Nyosu translates to Hi in English. She loves coffee. She has a prepaid Starbucks card, and her father recharges it sometimes. There was a period when she didn't really have any money, so when Miyazaki Rina once invited her to buy something to eat for lunch, she refused, but Hikaru told her "I can buy something in Starbucks because my father recharged it 10000 yen."
She is very kind toward anyone, and mostly, the members don't make funny faces, but she had done it in GirlsTV. Also, she can imitate gorillas. She is one of the few funny members in SUPER☆GiRLS.
