Oshi no Ko has intrigued fans with numerous mysteries. Questions such as who killed Ai, the significance of the starry eyes, and the identity of Aqua and Ruby’s father keep readers engaged. However, many of these questions are gradually being answered.
One crucial question involves Hikaru Kamiki, the father of the Hoshino twins. Who is this character? How did he come to know Ai? What lies ahead for the Hoshino family?
1. Who is Hikaru Kamiki in Oshi no Ko?
Hikaru Kamiki is the father of the Hoshino twins in Oshi no Ko. His romantic involvement with the famous idol Ai Hoshino led to her pregnancy during their school years. He possesses starry eyes and bears a striking resemblance to Aqua.
Hikaru, often referred to as ‘Miki-san,’ is one of the antagonists in the Oshi no Ko series. He caused Ai’s pregnancy while they were dating and is suspected of leaking the information about her condition, which ultimately led to the attack on Ai and her tragic death. Aqua has been searching for Hikaru for years, but Hikaru appears to be mentally unstable, possibly as a façade.
Described as a handsome yet callous young man, Hikaru has long blonde hair and shares Ai’s unique six star-shaped pupils. His appearance resembles that of a more mature Aqua Hoshino.
Hikaru’s character is complex; he is depicted as polite yet meek. His childhood was marred by trauma, having been sexually abused by Airi Himekawa, which has resulted in deep-seated issues with attachment and trust.
Hikaru exhibits reckless and emotional behavior and struggles with self-image, believing his attractiveness attracts unwanted attention. His personality can be described as eccentric and even bipolar, shifting from submissive to displaying violent tendencies due to his underlying trauma and despair.
2. What is the backstory of Hikaru Kamiki?
The details of Hikaru Kamiki’s lineage remain unclear, as little is known about his family background. A significant revelation is that he was a victim of repeated sexual abuse by Airi Himekawa from a young age.
As depicted in the anime, Airi’s abuse deeply affected Hikaru. He is also revealed to be the father of Airi’s son, Taiki Himekawa. Following years of torment, Hikaru reaches a breaking point, confronting Airi’s husband about the abuse, but this revelation incites violent rage from him.
Hikaru’s relationship with Ai Hoshino begins at Lalalie, where they start dating and ultimately sleep together, leading Ai to discover her pregnancy. When Ai realizes the situation, she breaks up with Hikaru after mocking his past trauma.
Afterward, Ai meets Dr. Gorou and later gives birth to the twins. Tragically, the revelation of her pregnancy leads to her violent demise. Twelve years after Ai’s death, Hikaru visits her grave, where he encounters Ruby and admires her beauty, acknowledging her as their daughter.
