Description
Hijiri Himuro is the current supervisor of Edel Rose, the prestigious prism star training academy featured in the story. He has a history with the institution, having once been a top-ranking prism star representing Edel Rose and a serious contender for the title of Prism King. He is a tall man standing at 184cm with yellow hair and brown eyes, and his birthday is November 23. His name carries contrasting meanings, as Hijiri translates to holy or sacred, while Himuro means ice room, reflecting a personality that blends quiet intensity with underlying compassion.
His past as a performer was marked by fierce rivalries, particularly with Jin Norizuki and Rei Kurokawa. While his relationship with Rei was cordial, his dynamic with Jin was defined by the latter's deep jealousy and hostility. This jealousy ultimately led to the end of Hijiri's performing career. During a private ice skating performance for June Amou, a woman whose dance reminded him of his late mother Maria, Jin orchestrated the sabotage of the rink. Hijiri fell through a crack in the ice and suffered a severe leg injury, forcing his retirement. This event caused a deep rift between the two, with Jin effectively ending Hijiri's time in the spotlight out of envy for his talent.
Following this career-ending injury, Hijiri shifted his focus to mentorship and leadership. In the wake of Jin being removed from his position, Hijiri became the new supervisor of Edel Rose, taking on the responsibility of revitalizing the school. His primary motivation is to guide the next generation of prism stars, prioritizing a philosophy of unity, mutual support, and perseverance over individual ambition. He is known for his strategic vigilance, working to protect his students from industry pressures and schemes, particularly those originating from his old rival, Jin. For example, he personally confronted Jin and later pledged his support to the student Hiro Hayami during a time of crisis.
In the events of Pride the Hero, Hijiri plays a crucial role as a pillar of support for the Edel Rose students. He helps them navigate a series of hardships imposed by Schwarz Rose, including financial debt and media scandals. He is instrumental in the Prism King Cup, registering key students like Taiga Kougami and Hiro Hayami for the competition. His leadership is defined by a promise to help others succeed where he was forced to stop, pushing students to value passion and authenticity in their performances. One of his significant actions as supervisor was personally recruiting Shin Ichijo after sensing the prism brilliance within him.
Key relationships continue to define his character. His bond with June Amou is central; he fell in love with her the moment he saw her dance, and the injury that ended his career happened while he was performing for her. After she lost her memories, he was compelled to confess his love to her once more. His history with Jin remains a source of antagonism, as Jin continues to scheme against Edel Rose, driven by a desire to steal everything from Hijiri. In his prime, Hijiri was a highly skilled prism star capable of performing multiple Prism Jumps in succession, though a failed fourth jump, complicated by the sabotaged ice, resulted in his permanent injury. As a leader, his most notable ability is not a performance skill but his capacity to inspire resilience, focusing his efforts on building an environment where students like Shin can adopt anthems of hope, such as Over the Sunshine, to overcome adversity.
