One of the main protagonists of [[Choujikuu Yousai Macross]] TV series, the [[Macross: Do You Remember Love?]] movie adaptation and the [[Macross Flashback 2012]] OVA.

[b]Ichijo Hikaru[/b] is a young [[fan racer]] civilian [[aircraft]] [[pilot]] who becomes an atypical mecha anime [[science fiction]] hero in the [[Macross]] series. 

Despite some early personality clashes with other characters and some family tragedies from his past, he is a rather humble, intelligent, optimistic and jovial person, in contrast to the usually hot-headed, reckless and grim type of heroes from other [[mecha]] series. 

Hikaru is of Japanese ethnicity and also [[Roy Focker]]'s best friend. Hikaru's mecha of choice are the [[VF-1J]], the [[VF-1J Armored]], the [[VF-1S]], the [[VF-1 Super]], the [[VF-1 Strike]] (DYRL) and the [[VF-4]] (Flashback 2012).

In the [[Robotech]] western cartoon adaptation his name was changed to [[Rick Hunter]] and his ethnicity to American.
