Hikari

Hikari is a character from the Famicom Disk System video game Shin Onigashima. She, along with Donbe, were the main characters of the game. Hikari also appeared in the Super Famicom remake of the game, Heisei Shin Onigashima, but this time she and Donbe weren't the main characters. That role was taken by the three animals that accompanied them on their journey.

Shin Onigashima
In Shin Onigashima, Hikari was born out of a bamboo tree. She was found by an old man the same day his wife found Donbe in a rice bowl. The couple adopted the two children and took care of them like their own. In a dream of theirs it was revealed to them that the two children would one day come to them, and thus it happened as prophecy foretold. When the children turned eight years old, a dragon appeared and turned all of the citizens into demons, though Donbe and Hikari managed to escape the dragon's wrath. They set out to save the world, and would along the way learn their origins.
