HistoryText
| - Hikaru was ruling CEO of Stark-Fujikawa (Earth-928.2) in New York and Japan. He was manipulated into a conflict with the new Spider-Man by Tyler Stone. Tyler requested the favor of using Stark-Fujikawa's Specialist agent to kidnap Kasey Nash for Alchemax, expecting Spider-Man to get involved. When Spider-Man defeated the Specialist, this cost Hikaru honor, forcing him to take action against Spider-Man to redeem S-F, just as Stone intended.
The situation became more complicated when Spider-Man saved Hikaru's life during Discord's reign of terror through New York's computer systems. Hikaru now owed his life to a man who dishonored his company, making retaliation and repayment a thorny issue.
Ultimately, Hikaru chose to augment Kasey Nash with cybernetic armor so that she could strike back against her oppressors in Alchemax. This fulfilled his debt to Spider-Man for his life. However, Hikaru also sent Kasey out before she was trained or ready to use her new "Payback" armor, ensuring the inevitable negative consequences that Spider-Man would have to deal with, balancing the scales between them for the Specialist.Under Doom
When Doom became President of the United States "by right of conquest", he make changes, putting cyberspace-connected Dive Booths in every city. Then he created a national corporation called Cynex, and arrested the heads of the previous corporations, downgraded the credit levels of all citizens from the unlimited Black Cards to Gold Cards, and forced the corporation CEOs to choose one amongst them to be killed. CEO Shudo and Hikaru-Sama were killed. Dr. Ilya Faro became acting head of Stark/Fujikawa, with her son.
