Movie
Description
Himari Takakura, the adopted younger sister of Kanba and Shouma Takakura, joined their family after abandonment by her biological mother. Following the deaths of adoptive parents Kenzan and Chiemi Takakura, the siblings lived independently. Himari has light orange hair with left-parted bangs and silver-purple eyes, often dressed in a striped white-and-blue vintage blouse, sky blue lolita skirt, and light beige cowgirl boots.
As an energetic child, she co-founded the idol group "Triple H" with friends Hibari and Hikari. Illness forced her departure, though she held no resentment toward their later success as "Double H." During this time, she met Shouma in the "Child Broiler"—a metaphorical space for society's discarded children. He shared the "fruit of fate" with her, intertwining their destinies and prompting his family to adopt her. This act forged a profound bond, leading Himari to deem Shouma her "fated one."
Afflicted by a terminal illness, Himari frequently required hospitalization. After collapsing and dying during an aquarium visit, she was revived by a spirit inhabiting a penguin hat bought there. This entity, the "Princess of the Crystal," temporarily extended her life conditional upon her brothers locating the elusive "Penguindrum." Wearing the hat triggered a transformation, altering her appearance to a dominatrix-like figure in skintight attire and adopting the Princess's commanding personality, accompanied by "Survival Strategies" musical sequences.
Her revived state depended on costly "dark pink medication," straining her brothers financially and driving Kanba to extremes. When the initial life extension lapsed, she died again briefly, necessitating further intervention. Her fragile health symbolized punishment for her adoptive parents' involvement in a terrorist attack mirroring the 1995 Tokyo subway sarin incident.
Gentle and selfless, Himari masked her struggles to ease her brothers' worries through cheerfulness, cooking, and knitting. She felt complex jealousy toward Ringo Oginome, whom Shouma grew close to, fearing displacement in their family. Despite this, she befriended Ringo, bonding over shared fainting incidents in later timelines. Her dynamic with Sanetoshi Watase shifted from distrust—rejecting his proposal to become his "bride of fate"—to reliance when he appeared as her doctor, though Kanba doubted his motives.
Her relationship with Kanba involved mutual sacrifice. Kanba, harboring more-than-brotherly love, surrendered portions of his life-force "fruit of fate" to sustain her. As he descended into crime to fund her medicine, she pleaded for divine intervention to return his sacrifices even at her life's expense. Ultimately, she shared her "fruit of fate" with him, completing a cyclical exchange of destinies.
In the finale, Himari survived through her brothers' sacrifices: Kanba gave his entire "fruit" to her, while Shouma assumed another's punishment. The brothers vanished but were later reborn as children. Himari and Ringo preserved their friendship in this renewed timeline.
