Personality:

Hikaru is a very temperamental person. He had a hard time controlling his temper. He finds it difficult to get along with people due to this. He’s mostly a loner and tends to keep to himself.

When Hikaru fights and he finds himself loosing, he’ll loose his temper and begin to slash and attack at random, hurting both friend and foe before he brings himself under control. He’s slowly getting better, but he still needs to work hard to control himself. He finds it easier to practice by himself using his fire techniques. As he practices he begins to feel better.

What can keep him calm is his friends, if he had any. He keeps his parents maily in his thoughts. Aside from his temper he is a sweetheart. Keep on his good side and he'll be a very loyal friend and partnet. Hikaru tends to work hard at whatever he does and he does try to succed in moving up in ranks. He does wish to be a captain someday.


History:


Hikaru was born in the Soul Society. Even when he was a baby he's always had an ugly temper. It is due to this temper that he has been passed around from one family to the next. Sometimes he would fall into a family where there was abuse. He would fight back and be moved on due to what they called "The Temper."(see personal abilities)

He did end up at one point with one family where he stayed for quite a long time. The Shibata family, a noble family. Hikaru never really knew his last name as his family didn't want him to have it. The Shibata family taught him a little how to control his anger and helped him to control his ability better when angry. Due to this Hikaru took Shibata as his last name. The also taught him life in high society and how to behave around those who are lower in rank than him, or higher in rank than him. This is where he learned his respect for women, children, and the elderly. It was also around this time that he began to see Ken in dreams he would have. Most of the time Hikaru would write this off as a dream since he was not fully aware of Shinigami and what they did. The Shibata's were not really a family that had many Shinigami in them and, any time he would tell them about his dream they would tell him that it was that, only a dream.

After about 20 years of living with them he left the Shibata family. He didn't want to continue to be a burden on them. He knew it was hard for them to have someone living with them with a bad temper like his. He also was somewhat not pleased with the way he was acting around people who were not as lucky as him to end up living with someone who was rich. So, he went out on his own and scavenged around for what he needed. Most of the time, though, people just gave him what he wanted for fear of his temper. The Shibata's, mainly Mr. Shibata, kept trying to find him. Whenever they would meet, Hikaru would run off before they could talk. He really did not want to live that life any more.

One day he was told that he might just need an outlet for his temper. The thought that maybe if he went through the Shino Academy that might help. He did have some trouble, at first, getting through due to his temper. He quickly learned when and when not to use it. It took him longer than normal to became a Shinigami because of this. Once he graduated he spent most of his time moving between a few of the differnt Divisions, never really finding a place to fit in. This again was due to his temper.
