"KASHYAAA!!!"

- Hikaru's battle cry

Agent Hikaru (光), also referred to by his codename Earl (アール), is one of Kyotaro's primary allies in Regional Crusaders. This is the original depiction of Light Berlitz, as created by Alex Guy. He appears prominently in Stardust Frontier and Stardust Requiem.

Hikaru is introduced as an aspiring detective from Diamond City in the Gold region, with his best friend Kyotaro. He and Kyotaro were contacted and hired by Russell Johnson, Keiichi's old ally, to help investigate claims of mysterious disappearances and mythical beings.

Final Endings
By this arc, Hikaru and the rest of the previous protagonists have died of natural causes.

Smiting
Main article: Smiting

Towards the end of Regional Crusaders, Hikaru's body somehow managed to harness remnants of Angelic power left within from being Xapham's vessel. As a result, Hikaru was able to replicate the ability to smite beings, allowing him to destroy the fallen angel, Shinya Asahoshi. However, due to him being human, Hikaru almost died performing this move.

Trivia

 * Hikaru is one of the very few characters in the series to utter a battle cry.
 * His battle cry, "KASHYAAA!!!" is based on Kyotaro's battle cry.
