“	Ruby Hoshino, you have grown into a beautiful woman. Of course she would, since she's our kid.	„
― Hikaru Kamiki

Hikaru Kamiki「神 (かみ) 木 (き) ひかる, Kamiki Hikaru^?」 is the main antagonist of the Oshi no Ko manga series. He is the man who fathered Aqua and Ruby with Ai Hoshino and the person implied to have leaked Ai's address to a disgruntled fan, leading to her death and prompting his son to devote his life to tracking him down and getting revenge. He is the president of Kamiki Productions.

He is later revealed to also be Taiki Himekawa's biological father, having been molested by the latter's mother when he was a child before allegedly having her murdered as well by telling her husband about the affair.

He currently seems to be working with ex-B-Komachi member Fuyuko Niino to ensure that no one will ever be able to upstage Ai; his most recent victim having been Yura Katayose, the #1 actress in Japan.

Appearance

Hikaru is an attractive man who bears great resemblance to his son, to the point that Akane Kurokawa almost mistook him for the latter. Similar to Ai Hoshino and their children whenever they embrace the darker aspects of their personalities, he also has a black star in each eye.

Whilst in public, Hikaru hides his true appearance using a variety of disguises, seemingly taking particular care to hide his eyes. When he went to visit Ai's grave, he wore a long overcoat with a hat and sunglasses. Whilst passing Akane, he once again wore sunglasses but this time put on a black suit, as he was at a high-class gathering. During his interactions with Yura Katayose, he tied his hair in a ponytail and kept his eyes closed.

Personality

Hikaru is a sadistic and possibly insane murderer who enjoys watching the life fade from his victims, claiming that it makes him "feel the weight of his own life"; a warped mindset that seems to have originated from having been sexually taken advantage of when he was just a child.

As a former aspiring actor, Hikaru can skillfully hide his true nature in public by taking on the guise of a rather casual and dependable individual who others can lean on. He also has a habit of sending white flowers to up-and-coming actresses, though this could just be a method to draw in new victims.

When carrying out his murders, Hikaru is highly cautious to leave no incriminating evidence, attacking his victims in isolated locations and injuring them in ways where their deaths could be mistaken for accidents. His modus operandi seems to be to get close to his targets using his public persona and only strike when the conditions are perfect. When younger, he primarily made use of proxies, being implied to have been the one who leaked Ai's address to a disgruntled fan and the one who told the husband of the actress who molested him about their affair.

According to Aqua's portrayal of him in the 15 Year Lie, when he was a middle schooler, Hikaru was a considerably more withdrawn and somewhat submissive boy, seemingly traumatized by having been molested. He is depicted as an empty individual who, much like Ai, yearned for genuine love after being in a long-term transactional relationship. Hikaru was aware that he was being taken advantage of but believed that this was the only way someone like him could be loved. As a result, he was very skilled at hiding his true feelings, with no one ever catching on to his and Airi's relationship before Ai came along.

Known Facts

• Hikaru was 15 years old when he got Ai Hoshino pregnant with twins.
• Hikaru is referred to by Ai as "(her) ex" and she later referred to how their children would understand "(their) situation" , implying that the relationship between them was mutually broken off.
• Hikaru was only 11 years old when he fathered Taiki with Airi Himekawa.
  • Because of this, it is likely that Airi, who was already a married adult at the time, was the one who instigated their relationship, molesting and taking advantage of Hikaru.
• As noted by Akane Kurokawa and Aqua Hoshino, Hikaru cannot be judged under the Japanese legal system for his role in the murders of Ai Hoshino and Airi Himekawa since he was a minor at the time.
  • However, this could change if his recent murder of Yura Katayose was discovered.
