Hikaruno Kagaribi

Hikaruno Kagaribi is a female scientist specializing in Infinite Stratos software.

She is 24 years old, the same age as Chifuyu Orimura and Tabane Shinonono, with whom she shares a high school history as classmates.

Hikaruno stands out with her elongated, piercing eyes and a voluptuous physique that rivals even Maya Yamada’s.

She makes an unforgettable first impression, often appearing in bizarre outfits such as a wet Infinite Stratos suit labeled with her name, “Kagaribi,” a pair of swimming goggles atop her head, spear in one hand and freshwater fish in the other.

Her unpredictable ways can catch anyone off guard—especially those meeting her for the first time.

As the chief of the second lab at Kuramochi Technical Research Institute, Hikaruno oversees the maintenance of specialized Infinite Stratos units, including White Knight.

She uses data acquired from maintaining White Knight to drive forward her ambitious “Next-Generation Mass-Production Model Project.”

Her expertise lies firmly in Infinite Stratos software, making her a key player in technological advancements.

Back in high school, Hikaruno was classmates—though not close friends—with both Chifuyu Orimura and Tabane Shinonono.

Despite sharing a past, her connection to them is strictly that of a fellow classmate rather than a friend.

Hikaruno’s unique approach often leads to wild first impressions.

Ichika Orimura’s introduction to her involved her showing up in her fishing gear ensemble and, to his shock, touching him inappropriately right away.

Her over-the-top antics quickly earned her the reputation of a “weirdo” among those who don’t know her well.

Hikaruno’s style is anything but ordinary—her signature IS suit gets wet, she boldly attaches a giant nametag, and she never shies from standing out.

She is driven by her curiosity and passion for IS, which sometimes makes her seem outlandish but undeniably memorable.
