Hikari Horaki

About Horaki, Hikari

Age: 13 Birthday: January 25, 2002 Known Relatives: Kodama (older sister), Nozomi (younger sister) Hikari Horaki is the class representative for Shinji's class and, like everyone else there, an unknowing Eva pilot candidate. She's all business about her role—the type who actually takes "class rep" seriously. She and Toji bicker constantly, but she's secretly harboring a major crush on him that she can't bring herself to admit. As for her social life, Asuka is basically her only real friend. After Asuka gets hit hard by the Arael battle, she ends up staying with Hikari for a while. One night, Asuka opens up about her insecurities in a way that shows how much Hikari means to her, though Hikari seems genuinely bothered by how harsh Asuka is on herself. Outside of school, Hikari's got her hands full managing her household—she's a solid cook and essentially looks after her two sisters. Her mother passed away like most of the other kids' parents, and there's no real information about her father either way. Trivia-wise, her name comes from Ryu Murakami's novel The Fascism of Love and Fantasies. Her name and her sisters' names (Kodama, Nozomi) also match up with trains on the Tokaido Shinkansen line, same deal as Kensuke's naming.
