Character
Name: Hikaru Hitachiin
Series: Ouran High School Host Club
Timeline: Chapter 81
Canon Resource Links: Ouran High School Host Club wiki, Hikaru wiki, Manga summaries.
Personality: Hikaru cannot be described without his twin brother Kaoru. Since they are rarely separated, his personality and behaviour is highly dependent on Kaoru.
Hikaru and Kaoru are known as "the little devil type" of the Host Club. Their personalities are very much devious, causing trouble whenever they can. They put on shows of "twincest" for attention from the ladies, flirting with them, playing games with them. Together they put on such dramatic displays of false smiles, fake tears, anything at all to get what they want, even if it's something as ridiculous and immature as getting a certain reaction they want out of someone. They’re into computer games, as well as video games, and are quite picky about what they consider fun. With their tendency to get bored very easily, a game could be fun one day, and the next they’ve moved onto something else. They treat their games like they treat people. A person is fun to tease for a day or two, then they will soon get bored and move on to someone else to give them the same treatment.
They are both very selfish, though it's more obvious with Hikaru. He is the dominant one of the Hitachiin, coming up with most, if not all of the ideas of what he and Kaoru should do to entertain themselves and their customers at the Host Club. He gets possessive when people get too close to "his" friends, and becomes upset and angry. You always know when Hikaru is around, because he is always noisy and boisterous. He's got something to say about everything, he always finds something to criticize, and he likes to make people look stupid by putting them down and hurting their feelings because he would much rather say whatever is on his mind than hold back. He is more childish and immature when he’s without Kaoru, because Kaoru is usually the one to get him to stop doing things when he goes too far, and calms him down when he’s getting too angry and upset. He can be nice and have manners if he really tries, and he can be surprisingly mature when he actually sits alone and thinks thoroughly about things. His most mature moment would be when he dyed his own hair a different color, so that people would be able to tell him and his brother apart easier. He said that the reason people were rarely able to tell them apart is because they never made the effort to differentiate themselves from one another. Dyeing his hair meant taking the first step in maturing and becoming independent, something they have always had issues doing, despite it coming to a simple solution.
Hikaru is an emotional person, which is apparent with how he throws his anger at people when they upset him. He tends to run away from the situation because he doesn’t know how to deal with things without yelling and threatening violence (even though he won’t really do anything — all bark and no bite). However, there is much more to Hikaru than meets the eye. Hikaru is actually very insecure, something he doesn’t ever admit to, nor does he know how to properly express, with how confident he acts in front of others. He goes through bouts of loneliness, confusion, and just generally feeling lost in life. While he prefers to behave in an honest, blunt manner, he can feel ashamed of something he has said or done, especially in regards to his brother. Something happening to Kaoru is one of the scariest things in the world for Hikaru, to the point where there is anxiety, his hands are trembling, and he can’t stop panicking. It could be the littlest thing, like Kaoru getting a small cut on his face, but it is a huge deal to Hikaru. He is a nervous, anxious person at heart. Having an argument with Kaoru crushes his heart to the point where he has left him and gone to someone else, because he becomes too ashamed to face his own brother.
Even though Hikaru is still, and will probably always be dependent on Kaoru to some degree, it's apparent that Hikaru has done a decent amount of maturing and becoming slightly independent. He's been able to remain calm and somewhat patient in situations that usually would set him off with the snap of a finger. He's been somewhat more understanding of people and their feelings. He’s more willing to lend people a hand, whereas before he would have considered it a waste of time and probably would have resorted to insulting people. Kaoru has really helped him learn to take a step back and look at things in a calm manner, however at the end of the day, Hikaru is still Hikaru and enjoys he bothering the hell out of Tamaki and others when he's bored enough, as well as putting on displays of "twincest" to get a scream out of the girls who stop by the Host Club.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Hikaru is very skilled in fashion design, floral arrangements and various artistic things, as well as knowing his way around a computer (photoshop web design, etc). He’s good at coming up with ideas for fun things and can stand up for himself and his friends. On the flipside he’s dependent on his brother with little patience to deal with others. He’s hot tempered and throws his emotions around, taking his anger out on others and being a bit of a bully. He leaps into things before thinking about them, often getting himself into a situation where he is scolded by Kaoru or one of his friends. He uses people for his own entertainment purposes and to get what he wants. He’s also a snob, having been raised with luxurious things, so he has very high standards for pretty much anything and everything.

Samples
First Person Sample: [Perhaps you’ve all seen a face just like his before. Maybe you don’t realize it, because his hair is a different color — darker, even. In any case, Hikaru rubs the back of his neck with a look of confusion on his face.]
The last thing I ever expected was to be living inside of a video game. I have to admit I thought this was a complete joke at first, or that I was dreaming. A typical reaction, I’m sure. But then I found that I have this little guy with me — Really and truly! No joke!
[There’s the lowered camera view to Vulpix, his Pokemon — yes, that’s right! His Pokemon. It just seemed too weird and cool to be true! He moves the camera back to himself with a grin on his face.]
Ta da! [He says in a sing-song voice!] Isn’t he the cutest? I have yet to think of a name, because I refuse to pick just anything! Lame is never in fashion!
Also... does anyone have any experience with fabric in this place? I was hoping there was some type of... fireproof fabric so that I can make my new Pokemon a ribbon to wear!
Third Person Sample: This is terrible! Absolutely terrible! … Also really cool, but mostly terrible! Terrible because, as far as he’s concerned, it should be obvious that he and Kaoru should be together at all times! Isn’t it common knowledge that twins should be together, since they were born together?! Whoever sent him here, alone, must be a terrible, horrible person! Ugh, this is really pissing him off!
Hikaru balls his hand up into a fist, turning to his Vulpix. “Aren’t you... kind of like a dog? Or something like that! Can’t you sniff out my brother?! He’s got to be here somewhere!”
No, he mustn’t take out his frustration on his innocent little Pokemon. He mustn’t freak out. That’s exactly what Kaoru would tell him! But without Kaoru he can’t do anything other than freak out! Kaoru could be in trouble, and Hikaru would never be able to forgive himself if something happened to him!
He holds a finger up at his Vulpix. “What if we split up?! Could I trust you to do that? I promise I’m not going to leave you! We can meet up in this very spot after searching! Are you in?” Vulpix looks at him with a headtilt, then nods. Hikaru can hardly believe that he’s talking to a Pokemon, let alone his very own Pokemon. This was weird and cool... and still really terrible because he has absolutely no idea where Kaoru could be, or if he’s even here! What if he’s not here?! Then he really would be alone, and that would be even worse!
Okay, Hikaru, breathe! That’s what Kaoru would say in this situation, and he would be right. Freaking out solves absolutely nothing, and right now he needs to do what Kaoru would tell him to do, and that’s to take a few moments to cool off, then take care of what needs to be done. Yes! He fist pumps, using these thoughts to motivate himself to continue not freaking out, keep calm, and search for his brother!
