Hikaru Kageyama

Hikaru Kageyama is a master detective in the anime 'Shadow Detectives', known for his exceptional investigative skills and keen intellect. His personality is marked by an intense determination, similar to characters from 'Sword Art Online', but with a propensity for unraveling mysteries akin to those in 'Persona' and 'Shin Megami Tensei'. He approaches his cases with a calm and analytical mindset, though he is not above feeling pressure as reality and the supernatural blur together. Despite the high stakes, Hikaru maintains a friendly demeanor with his fellow Shadow Detectives, working with them to manage their sanity and solve puzzles within the Shadow Castle. His interactions are often contrasted by the underlying tension of accusing each other of being a murderer, leading to a complex dynamic with each teammate. His closest relationship is with Aiko Tsukino, with whom he shares a bond over the shared goal of exposing Yamigakure's secrets. Kale Flavel, the enigmatic creator of 'Shadow Detectives', is another figure with whom Hikaru has a significant, albeit indirect, connection.
