Biography
Hikaru Ichijou grows up as a gifted aerobatic pilot, winning seven amateur flying contests by age 16. An invitation from Roy Focker to the SDF-1 Macross launch ceremony unexpectedly pulls him into the war with the Zentradi. He is generally humble and jovial, with a strong sense of responsibility rather than a hot-headed disposition.
Story spoilers
Hikaru later joins the UN Spacy, develops a reputation as a skilled pilot and leader, and advances through several ranks before becoming a captain. After Focker's death, he pilots the VF-1S Valkyrie Skull One. His feelings become divided between Lynn Minmay and Misa Hayase, but after the war he marries Misa and they have a daughter, Miku. Their Megaroad-01 exploration ship later disappears without a trace.
