Description
Hikari Ogasawara is a student at Yokosuka Girls' Marine High School and serves as a key member of the Harekaze's artillery division. Her official position is that of a炮术员, specifically the primary battery aimer stationed at the firing command post. This makes her responsible for calculating trajectories and delivering precise strikes with the ship's main guns. She was born in Kofu, Yamanashi Prefecture, on October 25th.
Hikari is a short teenage girl, standing 155 cm tall, with auburn or brown hair typically styled into short twintails and blue eyes. She is most often seen wearing the standard Yokosuka school uniform. Her personality is predominantly energetic, inquisitive, and positive, characteristics that make her a vibrant presence among the crew. She approaches challenges with a determined and methodical mindset, driven by her favorite saying,一发必中, which means success on the first try.
Hikari's exceptional talent for aiming is a direct result of her long-standing fascination with precision-based games. Since childhood, she enjoyed darts and ring toss, a hobby that developed into a genuine skill that she practices even aboard the ship. This interest naturally led her to study the underlying principles of physics and projectile motion. Her proficiency in mathematics and physics, subjects she excels in, allows her to calculate complex firing solutions with speed and accuracy. In contrast, she dislikes subjects that cannot be reduced to formulas, such as biology and literature, which she finds too indefinite. To support her physical aim, she has cultivated excellent eyesight, rated at 2.0 or better, enabling her to judge distances with high precision.
While her rational and competitive nature defines her approach to her duties, Hikari also possesses a more nuanced personal side. She was reluctantly taught the traditional tea ceremony by a neighbor and, despite some initial resistance, has come to appreciate its disciplined artistry as one of her hobbies. Her food preferences include horse meat, while she dislikes green peppers. Among her friends and crewmates, she is often called Hikari-chan.
In her role on the Harekaze, Hikari works closely with the other members of the gunnery team, including Michiru Takeda and Junko Heki, with whom she has been friends since junior high school. Her responsibilities often place her under the command of the炮术长. During a critical engagement with the Admiral Graf Spee, her position in the firing command post was directly hit, but she and her fellow gunners survived thanks to the ship’s emergency airbag safety systems. Demonstrating her resilience and devotion to the ship, she immediately assisted with emergency repairs following the attack. She also served as the leader of a rescue team during a mission to aid the commercial ship New Bridge, taking on the task of searching for survivors within the vessel. Through these events, Hikari consistently proves herself to be a decisive and reliable crew member whose technical acumen is balanced by a strong sense of teamwork and a will to protect her friends.
