He was known as Gozen (御前, Gozen), "boss" in translation, until Chapter 40 of the manga, and Episode 101 of the anime. It was then revealed that "Gozen" was Hikaru. He had been using a voice changer to make himself sound older and let others think that he was a man with great powers.
He has blonde hair and blue eyes. When he first appeared, he wears a white jacket with white pants. When he is at Easter, he is seen in a formal, black suit. In Shugo Chara Party!, he wears the original Seiyo Academy uniform, except he wears a bow tie and sweater vest.
History
Hikaru was formerly known as Gozen; the people of Easter referred to him as. Ikuto referred to "Gozen" as "the highest person in Easter", so it could be possible that Gozen was the company president. He promised the company employees a successful career if they could present him with the Embryo. For what purpose he entrusted the Easter Company to find the Embryo is unknown. This was the reason that Utau said she did not know what wish Easter wanted to grant. According to the manga, he wishes for a rare one-of-a-kind jewel, thus Easter's search for the Embryo.
ru was only a baby, Kazuomi Hoshina immediately chose him to lead Easter. Kazuomi saw competition in Ikuto, but decided to make him a puppet while Hikaru ran the company. Hikaru hid his loneliness and considered it worthless, but that in turn made his heart empty. Amu agrees to help him start over and he immediately regains his Heart's Egg.
Hikaru is unique in that he did not have a Heart's Egg like most other children, because his Heart was empty. As of Chapter 41 of the manga, and Episode 102 of the anime, after his past was revealed, he regained it.
