- ―GingaYellow's roll call[src]
Hikaru (ヒカル) is GingaYellow (ギンガイエロー Ginga Ierō) of the Gingamen. He is a part of the 133rd generation of Gingaman.
History[]
Hikaru lost his mother long ago.
TV STORY-Chapter 8: Love's Culinary
Growing up, Hikaru was occasionally babysat by his older neighbor Hayate. As they grew older, Hikaru began to see Hayate as a bit of a nag.
Hikaru considers the best cook in his life to be his grandmother.
TV STORY-Chapter 8: Love's Culinary
Gingaman[]
Hikaru was the Warrior "most talented" with his Earth power. This talent would lead him to become cocky, resisting training whenever possible. Hikaru's element is thunder.
When the Gingaman became ranchers, Hikaru naturally tried to cheat his way through hard work through use of his Earth power. This led to a growing rift between him and Hayate. Storming off into the city with Yuuta, Hikaru helped a failed street magician and receive a portion of the pay. Using his Earth gifts for money led to another argument with Hayate. Storming off into the city again, Hikaru fell into Dreddredder's trap as the Barban were looking to siphon electricity to repower Daitanix. Luckily, Hayate learned to use Moak and Gingalcon to locate Hikaru, and saved him. Afterwards, GingaYellow learned that his Earth was not just his own power, but power inherited from the Starbeasts. He was revitalized and wielded more power than ever before.
TV STORY-Chapter 4: The Earth's Heart
Later on, while trying to avoid Gouki's cooking, Hikaru was taken in by a motherly chef at Restaurant L'Oignon. He reminded her of her dead son, and to him, she was like a mother he never had. She would become his cooking teacher as well as a maternal figure, and he learned a variety of chef-like knife-fighting techniques from her which he would use to defeat the Barban gourmand Dolmar.
TV STORY-Chapter 8: Love's Culinary
Later, with the Lights of Ginga, Hikaru can become Beast Armor Shine GingaYellow (獣装光ギンガイエロー Jūsōkō GingaIerō).
When Dark Merchant Biznella arrived, his first move was to kidnap both Hikaru and Hyuga and force them to surrender. Hikaru epitomized the Warrior's Oath, willing to sacrifice his own life to destroy their cages with his Earth power.
TV STORY-Chapter 29: Dark Merchant Biznella thus became his recurring rival.
