Hikari Kongo (金剛ヒカリ, Kongō Hikari^?) is the younger sister of Kanau Kongo, who became a top student from the gifted youth program in Himouto! Umaru-chan.

Appearance

Hikari's design in the anime.

Hikari is a petite girl with long white hair, white eyelashes, and brown eyes with spiral lines around her pupil. Her hair is styled into uneven bangs with a curly ahoge on top.

She usually wears her school's uniform which consists of a white shirt with red and white-striped sleeves, red bow, red skirt, and white coat. Due to her small physique, the sleeves of her uniform appear loose and extend past her arms. She wears diamond barrettes in her hair.

Personality

When visiting the Doma's residence, Hikari does not appear to get along with Umaru Doma at the first place, as both fight for Taihei Doma's attention. As a result, Umaru and Hikari are not on good terms with each other. She is shy—which causes her to freeze at times—and finds Umaru's laziness very annoying.

Same like Umaru, Hikari refers herself in third-person prounouns; which is by her name.

Background

Hikari lives alongside her older sister, Kanau Kongo, in a large apartment, seperated from their parents. During her childhood, Taihei once visit them and taught Hikari about the stars while there. Over time, she grew fond of him and would frequently think about him even after he no longer visited her.

While attending high school, Alex Tachibana often give information to Kanau and her about Umaru and any information on the household everytime he visit the Domas' apartment. With this knowledge, Hikari visits the Doma siblings on Tuesdays (which Umaru refers it as 'Bread Day') when Kanau works overtime.

Etymology

• The name of Hikari may not has meaning on Katakana form (ヒカリ). But in Kanji form, it can mean as "light" (光).
• Hikari's surname, Kongō, means "gold" (金) (Kon) and "sturdy, strength" (剛) (Gō).
  • If the kanji were combined, it would be "vajra, diamond, adamantine" (金剛).

Trivia

• Hikari is the shorters character among the Younger Sisters characters, despite her height body yet not revealed.
• Hikari called Taihei as "Big Brother" when she first met him. And she still keep like that until now.
