About Hikaru Kamiki

Kamiki Hikaru is a handsome man who first made a full-fledged appearance in episode 109 of the original story, and is very similar to Aqua Hoshino.
He is also said to be “the real father of Aqua and Ruby” before episode 109.

Hikaru Kamiki was a stage actor in the theater company LaLaRae, but retired when he was 16 years old due to his “relationship with Ai Hoshino.
He was heavily involved in the murders of Goro and Ai, but after a gap of unknown length, he took a position as president of “Kamiki Productions”.

Also, while Kaneda and Himekawa Daiki, who have been involved with the theater company LaLaRae since its inception, know of Kamiki’s existence, Kurokawa Akane, who joined later, has never met Kamiki.

Kamiki Hikaru’s personality | Extremely ruthless psychopath

Kamiki, who murdered Goro and Ai using a stalker (Ryosuke-kun), is an extremely ruthless “psychopath” who is capable of killing people, sometimes directly by his own hand.

His fear is clearly depicted in episode 109 of the original story, in which he murders Yura Katayose, a famous actress, while she is out climbing a mountain.
However, even as he killed her, he kept a cool smile and expression on his face and spoke calmly to Yura on the verge of death.

Kamiki Hikaru’s first appearance was in the original 72nd episode.

It was in episode 109 that Kamiki fully exposed his true face and appearance…
In fact, she made her first appearance in episode 72 of the original story.

In this episode, the “man in the hat and glasses” who passed by Ruby Hoshino as she left after visiting her mother’s (Ai’s) grave must have been Hikaru Kamiki.

Moreover, this man was later than Ruby in standing in front of Ai’s grave and muttered, “Your child and mine,” and was convinced that she was his daughter just by looking at Ruby’s face.

The true identity of Kamiki Hikaru | Why he is the real father of Aqua Hoshino and Ruby

【推しの子】カミキヒカルの正体と過去 | 星野アクアとルビーの本当の父親である理由

This section explains why Kamiki Hikaru is the “real father of Hoshino Aqua and Ruby”.

His appearance is very similar to Aqua Hoshino.

The first reason cited is that “Kamiki Hikaru’s appearance is very similar to that of Aqua Hoshino.
Furthermore, the same hairstyle and hair color as Aqua’s also strengthens the resemblance.

In episode 96 of the original story, she also visited the venue of the award ceremony for the movie awards, where she was mistaken for “Aqua” by Akane Kurokawa, who passed by her in the hall.
In addition, Akane later saw an image from 16 years ago that showed “a boy who looks and looks exactly like Aqua,” and this boy (Kamiki Hikaru) is the reason why he can be called “Aqua and Ruby’s real father.

However, in Akane’s case, it can only be called a disaster because she had to have her own life threatened because of that incident….

Both eyes have the same star as the Eye or twin.

Kamiki, like Ai Hoshino and Aqua, also has a star in each eye, another point that makes him the real father.

Until the time before Akane and Aqua discovered Kamiki’s name, “Seijuro Uehara,” who was the father of Daiki Himekawa, was considered to be the real father of Aqua and Ruby….
However, Kamiki has stars in both eyes, which Uehara did not have.

The difference in the presence or absence of the stars in the eyes alone is overwhelmingly in favor of Kamiki Hikaru when compared to which of the two is the real (or more likely) father.

There is a strong possibility that Aqua’s “talent as an actor” is also inherited from Hikaru Kamiki.

【推しの子】カミキヒカルの正体と過去 | 星野アクアとルビーの本当の父親である理由

In terms of “talent as an actor,” Kamiki is more likely to be the real father than Uehara.
Aqua has been working with Kana Arima since she was a child, and has shown such a “special performance (not having to act)” that even Kana and Gotanda were shocked.

Although Aqua retains the memories and knowledge of her previous life (Goro), Goro, who was an obstetrician, did not have the talent or skill to be an actor.
While Uehara shared the same lack of talent as an actor, Kamiki has been recognized for her abilities by the management (Kindaichi) since she was a junior high school student who belonged to the theater troupe Laralai.

Furthermore, Kamiki was also highly regarded by Kindaichi for having the power of sight (an eye for deceiving others), which is considered the best quality for an actor.
Such power of the eyes also has the ability to make the audience and co-stars believe a lie to be true, and in his past performances, Aqua has demonstrated such power of the eyes and continued to perform exquisitely.
Given the similarity in “power of the eyes,” Aqua’s high acting ability may be regarded as “a talent inherited from Kamiki’s blood.

Kamiki Hikaru’s true identity | He had been an actor and turned into a senior executive at an entertainment agency.

【推しの子】カミキヒカルの正体と過去 | 星野アクアとルビーの本当の父親である理由

Since his appearance and fear were revealed in earnest in episode 109 of the original story, the full extent of Kamiki Hikaru’s true identity has not yet been fully revealed.

However, based on the information gathered by Akane in episode 97 of the original story, we will get closer to “Kamiki Hikaru’s true identity” and the reason why he is the “real culprit who killed Goro and Hoshino Ai”.

Why did he go from being an actor to a director of an entertainment company?

As mentioned in the previous section, the first thing that can be mentioned about Kamiki Hikaru’s true identity is that he was a “genius actor” who belonged to the theater troupe Laralai.
However, he was a member of the troupe for only seven years, from the age of 10 to 16. Nine years after leaving the troupe, at the age of 25, he established his own entertainment company, “Kamiki Productions,” and is now the president of the company.

The first possible reason for his rise from an actor to a higher position is very likely to be “to cover up the murders he has committed.
In fact, following Goro and Ai, Kamiki targeted Akane Kurokawa and killed Yura Katayose, the great actress who appeared in episode 109 of the original story, with his own hands.

If Kamiki were to continue to appear on TV or in movies as an actor or actress, it is obvious that he would be exposed as the “real father and the real culprit” by the sharp eyes of Akua the moment he is seen with stars in both eyes.
Perhaps Kamiki is making it easier for him to cover up the murder he wants to carry out or to rub it in his accomplices’ faces by becoming a board member.

Furthermore, since becoming a director, he seems to have concealed his real name, and Yura Katayose calls him “Miki-san.
It is unclear at this point whether “Miki-san” is taken from his pseudonym or just a nickname, but it can be said that the fact that he has been able to work while hiding his real name in this way is one of the reasons why he was able to avoid having his true identity and identity revealed to Aqua and Ruby.

Use a wide range of many contacts and connections to carry out the murder.

Kamiki Hikaru, who now has the status and wealth of a director, has a wide range of personal connections, and he has used these wide connections to carry out the murders of Goro and Ai Hoshino.

However, another significant feature is that he has been using ordinary people (Ryosuke-kun), not people in the entertainment industry, to kill Goro and Ai.
Also, the man in the black hood who pushed Akane Kurokawa down the stairs in the original episode 97 must have also been working under orders or instructions from Kamiki.

Furthermore, the sushi chef who was working in front of them at the high-class sushi restaurant that Aqua and Kaburaki were talking about in episode 34 is also “most likely connected to Kamiki Hikaru.
Although it may be too much to ask, this sushi chef was also eavesdropping on their conversation while working quietly on the surface, and may have tipped off Kamiki that Aqua was searching for him (Kamiki).

Just as Ichigo Saito pointed out to Aqua that “just because they have the same DNA does not mean he is the real father,” so too, Kamiki’s connections and connections are “not limited to those in the entertainment industry.

Kamiki Hikaru’s past and upbringing | his romantic relationship with Ai Hoshino

【推しの子】カミキヒカルの正体と過去 | 星野アクアとルビーの本当の父親である理由

Kamiki Hikaru’s past and upbringing should also lead to his own identity and the reason he murdered Ai and his friends.

Kamiki Hikaru was likely born into a family of actors and actresses.

In Kamiki’s birth, the only information revealed is that he was born in Kanagawa Prefecture.
However, it is highly likely that Hikaru Kamiki was born into a family of actors and actresses, given the fact that he had acting ability that caught the attention of Kanedaichi of the theater troupe LaLaRaei.

In particular, there is a strong possibility that his father was a handsome actor who bore a striking resemblance to Kamiki and Aqua.

 

Kamiki and Ai Hoshino were likely in a bilateral romantic relationship.

At a fancy sushi restaurant in episode 34, Aqua is told by Kaburaki that Ai was in love with the theater company Laralai.

Kaburaki told Aqua that his impression of Ai when they first met was that she was just a “country girl,” but that she “suddenly had an ‘adult face'” after falling in love with an actor (Kamiki Hikaru) she met at the theater troupe Laralai, whom she introduced to him.
Therefore, Ai must have undeniably loved Kamiki.

On the other hand, the problem with Kamiki is…
Kamiki herself “must have loved Ai” when they first met.
However, the mistake of getting Ai pregnant in the course of their love affair must have greatly upset Kamiki’s thoughts and actions, leading him to murder Goro and Ai by using a college student (Ryosuke-kun)….

If Kamiki himself did not have romantic feelings for Ai, he would not have bothered to visit her grave.

Why is Kamiki Hikaru the real murderer of Goro and Ai Hoshino?

【推しの子】カミキヒカルの正体と過去 | 星野アクアとルビーの本当の父親である理由

Kamiki carried out the murders of Goro and Ai while using Ryosuke-kun, but we will also look at why and how Kamiki is the real culprit and why he murdered them.

It turns out that Kamiki Hikaru was also at the scene of Goro’s murder.

Goro died early in the first episode after being killed by Ryosuke-kun’s hand, but it was also revealed that “Kamiki Hikaru was actually there” at the murder scene.

After Ruby and Akane found “Goro’s white corpse” when they visited Miyazaki Prefecture to shoot a music video for the new B Komachi, a mysterious girl appeared in front of Ruby and told her “that Goro’s murderer was actually a pair of people.
According to the girl’s testimony, one of them was a university student and the other was “a boy of junior high school age,” and as a result of Akane’s investigation in episode 96 of the original story, “Kamiki was a 15-year-old junior high school student when Ai became pregnant.

Therefore, the combination of “the testimony from the mysterious girl” and “the result of Akane’s investigation” leads to the following two facts: “Kamiki got Ai pregnant” when she was in junior high school, and “she used Ryosuke-kun to kill Goro. The result of “testimony from the girl” and “Akane’s findings” lead to the following two facts.

Why did Kamiki Hikaru go on to kill Goro and Ai?

I would like to discuss why Kamiki killed Goro, assuming that Kamiki is the real murderer who killed Goro in the first episode.

First of all, Goro became an obstetrician and “in charge of Ai,” and for Kamiki, Goro’s contribution to Ai’s delivery was “nothing but a hindrance,” so she killed him, probably with the intention of interfering with Ai’s delivery.

Kamiki himself must have planned to kill not only Goro but also Ai as early as the first episode.
The motive for this is to prevent Ai, whom he had impregnated, from giving birth to children (Aqua and Ruby) who would inherit his genetic material.
For Kamiki, who has shown her high acting ability in her stage performances with the theater company LaLaRae, the publicity about her “love affair” and “having children” would be a “hindrance and a nuisance” to her future success and popularity. For Kamiki, who has been showing her high acting ability, being told about her “love affair” and “having a child” must be nothing but “an obstacle and a nuisance” to her future success and popularity.

However, Kamiki was still a junior high school student at that time, so she could not take advantage of the doctors and nurses at the hospital.
In other words, at Kamiki’s age at that time, only a broken person with a stalker’s temperament like RYOSUKE could take advantage of her.
Therefore, it is thought that at the time of the first episode, he gave up with only his doctor (Goro), and four years later, after finding out the address where Ai and his son had moved to, he used Ryosuke-kun again to carry out the “murder of Ai” as well.

For Kamiki, all the “stars of the eye” are targets for murder?

【推しの子】カミキヒカルの正体と過去 | 星野アクアとルビーの本当の父親である理由

Kamiki, who fully revealed his true face in episode 109 of the original story, killed Yura Katayose, a great actress who first appeared in the same episode, without hesitation deep in the mountains where no one was around.
The reason why Yura Katayose, who was not supposed to be related to Ai or Aqua, was killed has not been told as of episode 109, but…
The most likely explanation is “the star in Yura Katayose’s eyes,” which she showed for a moment.

For Kamiki, the star in her eyes reminds her of Ai, Aqua, and Ruby, even if she does not want to be reminded of them, and she may have a strong feeling or disposition that she cannot help but kill those who have the star in their eyes, even if they are not related to her.
Furthermore, there may be an inner fear that the actor or actress with the Pupil Star will eventually reveal his or her wrongdoings or otherwise “turn into a distraction and a danger to the world. It is also possible that the actors and actresses with the star of the eye may have an inner fear that they will eventually be “disturbed and dangerous” by the revelation of their own misdeeds.

Therefore, just like Yura Katayose, anyone who shows the “star in his eyes” even for a moment in front of Kamiki will be immediately targeted as a “target of Kamiki Hikaru’s murder”.

Will Akane Kurokawa continue to be targeted by Kamiki Hikaru?

In the original episode 97, Akane found out his name and office, and like Ryosuke, she set out to eliminate Kamiki while holding a “white rose with a hidden knife,” but she was almost killed by a man in a black hood who took the initiative.

He was saved by Aqua, who fortunately saved his life, but…
It is unlikely that Akane will give up just because of this one incident, and it is highly likely that she will continue her plan and strategy to kill Kamiki despite Aqua’s advice.

However, it is also unlikely that Kamiki will leave alone the target (Akane Kurokawa) whom she failed to kill, and will continue to target her regardless of whether she and Aqua break up or continue their relationship.

Therefore, as of episode 109 of the original story, Akane Kurokawa, who has been probing Kamiki, is considered to be “Kamiki Hikaru’s biggest target.

Why is it so difficult for Aqua Hoshino to beat Hikaru Kamiki?

Aqua, who has discovered the existence of Kamiki in a different way from Akane, also determines that Kamiki is not only her “real father” but also “the one whom she is really challenging”.
However, Kamiki’s extraordinary intelligence and cleverness, as well as his “psychopathic personality,” which makes him think nothing of killing people, make him a far more difficult opponent than Kaburaki and Daiki Himekawa, who have been in contact with him up to now.

Even if he actually succeeds in taking revenge on Kamiki (killing, capturing, etc.), there will be consequences that will have a significant negative impact on his and Ruby’s future activities and lives.
This is because Kamiki is the immediate family of Aqua and Ruby, and the “barter article (scandal replacement)” that was caused to prevent the scandalous leakage of Arimakana has also become a major disaster.
