Kobe Hikaru

A fairly well known hero from Yokohama Japan, Kobe Hikaru is known as Rebound. He is the father to Yuki Hikaru and Riku Hikaru, Karma and Monolith respectively. He was married to Okano Hikaru before an accident took his life.

Kobe was a hero who could rebound many kinds of damage, often using that to his advantage to rescue victims and defeat enemies. After learning of his wife's unfaithfulness, he began to fall into a depression. While he kept a brave face and smile on around his children, he often fought with Okano behind closed doors and threatened to leave with the two. She threatened back to destroy his reputation, make him out to be a villain behind closed doors. His depression got worse, eventually leading to him joining a team to fend off villains that were attacking the city. Before leaving, having already decided that he would not come home after, he wrote a letter to his children, telling them of what happened. He, after rescuing civilians, ran headfirst against a villain that took a while to melt through him.

A shrine to him is in the apartment that Yuki and Riku share. The letter, various photos of the 3 of them, a replica of his mask and small trinkets adorn it alongside incense and his favorite things. Yuki made a miniature version in her room for him with pictures of her and him and another version of the mask to sit on the shrine.
