Description
Hikoro Oikawa, also known by his nickname Oihiko, is a supporting character in the anime DearS. He is primarily defined by his role as a male friend and classmate of the protagonist, Takeya, though the two share few interests outside of their classroom connection.
Oikawa's most prominent trait is his intense infatuation with the DearS, the extraterrestrial beings who have come to live on Earth. He is a self-proclaimed enthusiast and holds the title of the number one member of the "DearS Love Club". His interest is particularly focused on female DearS, and he develops a notably deep and one-sided romantic obsession with Ren, the main female character who comes to live with Takeya. This fascination with the DearS is so central to his character that it drives most of his actions and comedic interactions within the story.
In terms of personality, Oikawa is portrayed as goofy and somewhat shallow, often chasing after his own desires without a great deal of foresight or subtlety. His behavior is typically played for comic relief, providing a contrast to the more serious or bewildered reactions of the main characters. Despite his often self-serving and silly demeanor, his underlying nature is not malicious. At his core, he is described as a decent young man, suggesting that his flaws are those of an immature teenager rather than any genuine ill intent. His role in the narrative is largely that of a humorous secondary character whose antics help to explore the broader human reaction to the sudden integration of DearS into society.
While his primary relationship is his one-sided adoration for Ren, he also serves as a friend to Takeya, even if they are not particularly close. His character does not undergo a dramatic development arc; instead, he remains a consistent source of enthusiasm and comic commentary on the events surrounding the DearS. His notable ability is not a physical power but rather his unwavering and often absurdly passionate devotion to the DearS, which drives his dialogue and participation in the plot.
