Seiyuu: Junko Iwao
Hikari is a bright, intelligent girl in the same school class as the Evangelion pilots. Despite her bossy nature and self-assurance as Class Representative, she is shy and uncertain when it comes to dealing with her feelings for Toji, whom she has a crush on. After Asuka's arrival in Tokyo-3, they became close friends and routinely gang up on Shinji, Toji, and Kensuke, whom they call the "Three Stooges."
