Nozomi is the designated designation JHR-001 and is one of the main characters of the Hikarian franchise. In the original series Chotokyuu Hikarian, he serves as the protagonist, while in the sequel Denko Chotokyuu Hikarian, he appears in a supporting role. His true name is Lightning Nozomian, and his physical form is that of a robot that transforms from a 300 series Shinkansen bullet train. As an energy life-form composed of light from the planet Hikarian, he requires an electrical mechanical body to operate on Earth and uses the transformation command code "Hikarian Change." Nozomi is characterized as cheerful, bright, and full of fighting spirit, though he has a tendency to be scatterbrained and sometimes careless. In his leisure time, he enjoys driving a remote-control buggy. His motivations are rooted in protecting Earth and its people from the threats posed by the Blatcher gang, who seek to turn humans into weak-spirited beings by feeding on negative emotions. Nozomi demonstrates a strong sense of justice and loyalty to his teammates, often putting himself in harm's way to defend others. Within the story, Nozomi is a core member of the Hikarian team, working alongside human allies such as Tetsuyuki Shinbashi and Minayo Kanda in the first series, and later with Kenta Hijiribashi in the second series. He maintains a close friendship with fellow Hikarian Tsubasa, and the two often team up for combined attacks. His character undergoes significant development over the course of the series. After returning to Earth following a period of growth, he becomes so powerful that he can only transform when traveling at a speed of 275 kilometers per hour, indicating an increase in his energy requirements and overall strength. Nozomi possesses several notable combat abilities. His signature move is Sky Sunday, which amplifies sunlight using his sun shield to unleash a powerful beam; this technique is ineffective when the sky is dark. To compensate for this limitation, he later acquires the Stardust Stream, which fires a purple star-shaped beam from his star shield, and the Perfect Sky Sunday, an enhanced version using his perfect shield. His arsenal of weapons includes the Hand Sword, Sky Sword, Sun Shield, Star Shield, and Perfect Shield. These tools allow him to engage in both ranged and close-quarters combat. Nozomi's role as the most dynamic and energetic member of the Hikarian team makes him a central figure in the ongoing battle against darkness.
