HIKARU ICHIJYO
HI
A civilian stunt pilot who gets swept up in a world-ending alien war. Hikaru starts out as a somewhat stubborn, anti-military pacifist, but eventually enlists in the UN Spacy to protect those he cares about. His growth from a reckless amateur to a battle-hardened squad leader, while trapped in the most famous love triangle in anime history, forms the emotional core of the series.
