Hikaruwa is a traveller and a member of the Hashi Clan, well known for their relationship with the Baboons of Nihonzaru Gorge. Raised in a life of considerable luxury, he was raised co-operatively between both his parents and the baboons of Nihonzaru Gorge. They tutored him in their techniques and ways, eventually bestowing upon him the Raiment of the Baboon King Technique and their three hidden techniques Mizaru, Kikazaru and Iwazaru. Upon announcing his desire to leave the relative safety of his village and home, they also taught him the Shizaru and declared that he was ready to leave his home and explore the world. He is currently in pursuit of adventure and "fun", which typically manifests itself in fights and brawls which get him in trouble with the law.
