| − | '''Kyoya Hibari''' (雲雀恭弥, ''Hibari Kyōya'') is the leader of the [[Namimori Middle Disciplinary Committee]], prefects who are in fact a group of delinquents that are all loyal to Hibari. Hibari himself is a violent delinquent who uses his status to harass other students. As shown several times in the series, he prefers to be alone and cares little for his subordinates. He loves Namimori more than anything, and will often say "I'll bite you to death," or "''kamikorosu,''" to those that disturb Namimori Middle School. Hibari is very proud of his school and is apparently the only person who even likes their [[Namimori Middle School Anthem|school's anthem]], even using it as his ringtone. In the [[Kokuyo Arc]], he adopts the Kokuyo Assassin [[Birds]]' bird. The bird (subsequently nicknamed "Hibird" due to its connection to Hibari) becomes attached to Hibari. Hibird can also sing the school's anthem, taught by Hibari, who loves it. Reborn piqued Hibari's curiosity in the mafia early on in the series and Hibari considers him a worthy opponent, having a strong urge to fight him. |
||
| + | '''Kyoya Hibari''', commonly referred to as '''Hibari''', is one of the major characters in the ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn!]]'' series. He is the leader of the [[Namimori Middle Disciplinary Committee]], a group of delinquents who are all loyal to him. He was nominated and accepted as the [[Vongola Decimo & Guardians|tenth generation Cloud Guardian]] of the [[Vongola Famiglia]]. He is often seen napping on the rooftop of [[Namimori Middle School]], alongside [[Hibird]]. |

| + | [[File:Anime character sheet hibari.jpg|thumb|left|Hibari's character design.]] |
||
| − | Hibari has short black hair, with a fringe that joins at the center of his face, and parts to the sides, leaving a sort of "M" shape. He has sharp, grey eyes, which he uses to intimidate those around him. Hibari often wears his Discipline Committee uniform, which consists of a long-sleeved white shirt, black trousers, brown belt, black shoes (or indoor shoes), and black gakuran top worn on his shoulders, with the committee's armband pinned onto the left sleeve. |
||
| + | Hibari is a young man with an average height and short black hair with a fringe that joins at the center of his face. He has narrow gray eyes, often intimidating those who see them. He bears a striking resemblance to the first generation Cloud Guardian, [[Alaudi]], as well as the [[Arcobaleno]], [[Fon]]. |
||
| + | Hibari's most common outfit is his Disciplinary Committee uniform. He wears a white long-sleeved shirt, black pants, black shoes, and a black ''gakuran'' top worn on his shoulders, with the committee's armband pinned on the top's left sleeve. He also wears the standard Namimori Middle School summer uniform, along with the armband. During the [[Varia Arc]], Hibari wears the winter uniform, also with the armband. |
||
| − | Occasionally, Hibari also appears wearing his school uniform which consists of black trousers, a long-sleeved white shirt, a blue sweater-vest, and black shoes. He still pins his armband to his left sleeve. |
||
| + | [[File:Hibari kyoya.PNG|thumb|left|Future Hibari's character design.]] |
||
| − | After completing the Vongola Ring of Cloud, he wears it on his right hand. After gaining the Vongola Bracelet of the Clouds Version X, he wears it on his left wrist, implying that he may be ambidextrous (though he prefers to write with his right hand). |
||
| + | After gaining the [[Vongola Ring|Cloud Vongola Ring]], Hibari wears it on his right middle finger. He wears the [[Bracelet of the Cloud Version X]] on his left wrist. |
||
| − | + | Ten-years-later Hibari has changed to wearing a simple black suit, with a purple shirt and black necktie. His hair is also shorter, having been cut to appear messier, and with hardly any fringe. When not training or fighting, he would wear a black ''kinagashi''. |
|
| + | == Personality == |
||
| − | As stated by others, Hibari greatly resembles the first generation Vongola Cloud Guardian, [[Alaude]], as well as the Storm Arcobaleno, [[Fon]]. |

||
| + | As stated by others, Hibari is a scary character with no care for the well-being of others, preferring to do whatever it takes to get what he wants. He has full confidence in his own strength and power. This often leads to his opponents surprising him, as he doesn't think before attacking. As the head of Namimori Middle's Disciplinary Committee, Hibari uses authority to assault those that get on his nerves, including his own subordinates. |
||
| + | He prefers to be alone and hates crowding. This leads him to beat anyone who he thinks is crowding around him too much. He is often seen taking a nap or observing students from the school's rooftop. |

As the head of Namimori Middle's Disciplinary Committee, Hibari uses authority to assault those that get on his nerves, including his own subordinates. |
||
| + | A rare trait about him is his love for small animals, ranging from birds to hedgehogs. He is also shown to have a soft spot for [[I-Pin]], having accepted her Valentine's Day chocolates with a smile and not taking money from [[Tsunayoshi Sawada|Tsuna]] at a festival upon seeing I-Pin worried. |
||
| − | He prefers to be alone, and hates crowdings. This leads him to beat anyone who he thinks is crowding around him too much. He has full confidence in his own strength and power, and dislike to work together with anybody due to feeling bind and restrained, making him refuse or won't easily take suggestions from others into consideration. |
||
| − | + | Hibari is fiercely loyal to his school and its rules, going so far as to punish others for breaking them even if they aren't students or at the school, such as [[Genkishi]]. |
|
| + | [[File:Helping Gokudera Because He Helped Hibari.PNG|thumb|Hibari's helpful side.]] |
||
| − | He is shown to dislike being indebt to anyone and strives to pay them back as soon as possible. He cannot stand being restrained and absolutely refuses to allow himself to be controlled. Also, earlier in the series he is also shown to have a soft spot for [[I-Pin]], having accepted her Valentine's Day chocolates with a smile and not taking money from Tsuna at a festival upon seeing I-Pin worried. |

||
| − | Future Hibari is shown to be more calm and observant about his opponents, and outwardly admits to hating illusionists because of his grudge towards [[Mukuro]], the first person to have defeated him. His desire to be alone and attack people that annoy him still remains, though his actions are shown with more thought. Future Hibari is also seen being more respectful to Future Tsuna, showing that he has accepted him as his boss |
+ | Future Hibari is shown to be more calm and observant about his opponents, and outwardly admits to hating illusionists because of his grudge towards [[Mukuro Rokudo]], the first person to have defeated him. His desire to be alone and attack people that annoy him still remains, though his actions are shown with more thought. Future Hibari is also seen being more respectful to Future Tsuna, showing that he has accepted him as his boss, seen in one of the flashbacks of [[Shoichi Irie]]. |

||
| − | As of yet, Hibari is the only 10th generation Vongola guardian whose family is not revealed. It can be assumed at some point, that Hibari entered Namimori Junior High and became leader of the Discipline Committee. In the drama CD, "[[Drama CD: One Day Observation Report of Kyoya Hibari|One Day Observation Report of Hibari Kyoya]]," Sasagawa Ryohei admits that Hibari had been Chairman of the Discipline Committee since he (Ryohei) first entered the school, implying that he either became the Chairman as soon as he entered Namimori Middle or that he is actually older (most assume it to be the latter). In chapter 45, Tsuna asks if Hibari is supposed to be graduated. Hibari replies that he can always picks whatever year he feels like, confusing Tsuna further. It is also believed that Hibari has not lost a single battle prior to meeting Mukuro for the first time. |
||
| + | Hibari's reputation as a frightening individual definitely precedes him, earning the respect and fear of many people, both present and future. He is the strongest of the tenth generation Vongola Guardians and has hardly ever lost a fight in the series. In the times he faced against [[Hayato Gokudera|Gokudera]] and [[Takeshi Yamamoto|Yamamoto]], he easily defeated them in their first initial encounters, but afterward, they grew strong enough to give him a challenge, but not enough to excite him, as the only ones that could do that were [[Reborn]] and Future Tsuna.<ref>{{Refanime|87}}</ref><ref>{{Refmanga|chap=159}}</ref> |
||
| + | One of the most terrifying traits of Hibari is his immense resilience and endurance. He is still able to fight despite having several broken bones and even capable of resisting Death Heather poison that was capable of stopping elephants from moving. Later on, Hibari has become very adept at using [[Ring]]s although he usually shatters them after one use, due to the intensity of his flames. Hibari is capable of emitting massive Dying Will Flames with the Cloud [[Vongola Ring]]. The massive flame overloaded his Box Weapon and made the [[Porcospino Nuvola]] drunk from the flames, causing it to go out of control. |
||
| − | In the Hidden Bullet Novel, "[[Hidden Bullet: Extreme Memories|Extreme Memories]]", it tells Ryohei's and Hibari's meeting during Ryohei's first week in Nami-Middle. Ryohei, at first, mistook him as ordinary student while thinking that Kusakabe is the rumored Hibari, and always comes to the school rooftop to accompany him since he thought that he might be lonely and tries to befriend him, much to Hibari's annoyance. When Ryohei was beaten up right before the boxing tournament against Nobuyuki Middle School, Ryohei finally found out that Kusakabe is not the real Hibari when Hibari was present at the arena after he was asked by Kyoko to help them win the boxing match under one condition: after the tournament is over, Ryohei must never ask Hibari to join boxing club, which Ryohei agreed, explaining why Ryohei never ask Hibari to join the boxing club despite Hibari's reputation and strength. |
||
| + | === Techniques === |
||
| − | In [[Reborn! Colore]], it is revealed that Hibari lives in an enormous mansion with decoration structures similar to the future Foundation base. Yamamoto says that he had heard rumors of Hibari's parents are from prominent families, as in families with an extremely famous history (often descendents from warlords). He also admits that he isn't sure if the rumors are true. |
||
| + | * '''[[Flame Radar|Cloud Flame Radar]]''': Hibari uses his Ring's Flames as a radar by thinly spreading the Flame over a wide area and using the vibrations to detect anything that enters the area. This allows him to counter illusions by using it to sense where the actual object is, as seen in his battle against Genkishi's [[Spettro Nudibranchi]]. |

| + | [[File:Hibari Back To Normal 2.PNG|thumb|Hibari's pair of tonfas.]] |
||
| − | ===[[Daily Life Arc]]=== |
||
| + | * '''[[Cloud Tonfas|Tonfas]]''': Hibari's main weapon for combat is a pair of tonfas. It is revealed that they hold hidden compartments. The ends of the tonfas can release flails and the sides contain spikes and hooks. |
||
| − | Hibari reveals himself as the person who's using the reception room disciplinary committee, and attacks other committees that oppose him, unaware that from a distance he is being watched by an intrigued [[Reborn]]. When Reborn decides to use the reception room as a family hideout, Hibari was already inside, promising to not let them leave unscatched for entering and due to [[Hayato|Hayato's]] smoking, expressing his dislike towards weaklings and desire to beat them up. |
||
| + | [[File:Vongola Cloud Hedgehog2.PNG|thumb|Vongola Cloud Hedgehog]] |
||
| + | * '''[[Porcospino Nuvola]]''': Hibari's [[Box Weapon]], nicknamed as '''Roll'''. It is a small purple hedgehog with silver spikes. Hibari uses his hedgehogs when he fights opponents he deems as weak. With Cloud Flame's [[Propagation]] characteristic, Roll is able to multiply in number and grow to large proportions. |
||
| + | ** '''[[Porcospino Nuvola ver. Vongola]]''': Hibari's original Cloud Hedgehog Roll is later integrated into his Vongola Box. It now appears as a Hedgehog with larger, but fewer, spikes than the other Cloud Hedgehogs. |
||
| + | *** '''[[Porcospino Nuvola ver. Vongola#Cambio Forma|Alaudi's Handcuffs]]''': Roll's [[Cambio Forma]] takes the form of a pair of spiked black handcuffs. He can multiply the number of handcuffs by using the Cloud Flame's Propagation characteristic. |
||
| + | * '''[[Vongola Ring|Cloud Vongola Ring]]''': Won after the [[Vongola Ring Conflict]] against the [[Varia]]. Hibari wears the [[Ring]] on his right hand. He is able to open [[Cloud Flame|Cloud-attribute]] [[Box Weapon]]s. |
||
| + | ** '''[[Bracelet of the Cloud Version X]]''': The upgraded Vongola Cloud Ring, combined with Hibari's Vongola Box animal Roll. In battle, Roll now has jewels on both his forehead and chest. He is now capable of merging directly with Hibari for his Cambio Forma. |
||
| + | == Character Reception == |
||
| − | [[Tsuna]] becomes Hibari's first victim, much to the anger of [[Hayato]] and [[Takeshi]] who try to defend themselves from Hibari and fail. [[Reborn]] shoots [[Tsuna]] with a [[Dying Will Bullet]], in order to face off against Hibari, but he is stronger than most opponents he previously faced. The fight is quickly stopped by [[Reborn]], though Hibari, who is still in a bad mood attempts to fight [[Reborn]], who uses a bomb to make an escape. Sometime later, Hibari desires to see [[Reborn]] once again, believing that he isn't a weakling. |
||
| + | On November 7, 2007, a character CD entitled "Sakura Addiction," featuring Mukuro and Hibari, was released, and became the most successful ''Reborn!'' character CD, debuting in ninth place in the Oricon charts. The single reached its peak at seventh place, but remained in the chart's Top 40 until mid-January 2008. It contains duets and individual songs sung by both voice actors: Toshinobu Iida and Takashi Kondō. There are two available covers; both show one character as the main feature, with the other shown in the background with his back turned. The song "[[Sakura addiction]]," which was a duet sung by both voice actors, was used as the fifth ending theme for the series. |
||
| + | For the second annual Seiyū Awards, Toshinobu Iida and Takashi Kondō each received a nomination for "Best Musical Performance," for "Sakura Addiction." |
||
| − | Later, [[Shamal|Dr. Shamal]] gave Hibari the sakura-kura virus so that Tsuna's Family could view the sakura in peace. |

| − | Due to the attacks on students of [[Namimori]] Junior High, Hibari went to [[Kokuyo Land]] to fight the gang's leader. He was later defeated by [[Mukuro]], who took advantage of his Sakura-kura disease. He was imprisoned but later freed by Gokudera. Hibari then defeated both [[Ken]] and [[Chikusa]] and was given the cure to his illness. He then fought Mukuro again, but fell unconscious due to his previous injuries. Mukuro later tried to possess Hibari's body, but stopped due to the severity of the wounds. |

| + | * "Hibari" can be translated as "skylark", a species of perching birds. |
||
| − | Hibari was made the Vongola Cloud Guardian, but refused to be taught by [[Dino]] unless he could defeat him in battle. They fought in multiple environments so as to increase Hibari's fighting experience and so that he wouldn't see the damage done to the school. As a result, when Hibari reappeared after the [[Storm Ring Battle|Storm Match]] he was only calmed by the prospect of fighting Mukuro. |

||
| + | * In the 2007 and 2008 popularity poll for "the character I want as a groom", Hibari ranked first. |
||
| + | * His pride is Namimori Middle's Disciplinary Committee and the iron hammer for those who are against its order. |
||
| + | * Hibari seems to think that the Dying Will Flames are fueled by irritation instead of resolve, due to him thinking that both were the same thing. |

| − | In the Future, Hibari searched for information concerning [[Box Weapon]]s by starting [[The Foundation]]. He also worked together in secret with the future Tsuna and the [[Millefiore]] spy [[Irie Shoichi]]. Hibari later saved Gokudera and Yamamoto from [[Gamma]]. He agreed to train Tsuna, trapping him in his globe of Needles, resulting in a halucinogenic state where Tsuna was granted his [[X-Gloves|Inheritance]]. Hibari also helped Chrome draw out the power of her ring when her illusionary organs started to fail. Later, Hibari single handedly, defended the hideout against the [[Millefiore]] Raid (as instructed by Shouchi). |

As he was about to land a finishing blow, Hibari was replaced by his Past self (a fact that his future self was also made aware of). After receiving help from the injured [[Vongola Guardians|Guardians]] and [[Kusakabe]], Hibari was able to separate the group from Genkishi when his Hedgehog Box Weapon expanded at great speed due to the strength of his [[Dying Will Flames]]. He was later (along with the other Vongola Guardians) given a Vongola Box Weapon. |

| − | After being sent back to the past to train, the Guardians meet [[Giotto]], who revealed that the 10th Generation Guardians had yet to inherit the true power of the Vongola. Later [[Skull]] became Hibari's tutor as they both possess the [[Cloud Flame]]. That night [[Alaude]] appeared before him from the Vongola Ring. Hibari asked Alaude if he's strong or weak to which Alaude replied that he's strong, but has no interest in facing a child and left. Later that week, Alaude appeared again to give Hibari his trial. Hibari prepared himself to battle but Alaude told him that the trial would not involve fighting, making Hibari lose interest and walk away. Alaude then told Hibari that he shall deem him worthy of his Inheritance if he demonstrated his value as the Cloud Guardian, warning him that he only had until the end of the day. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Ryohei and Hibari Worthy.PNG|thumb|left|250px|Ryohei and Hibari deemed worthy]][[Ryohei]] tried to persuade Hibari to take his trial and ended up annoying Hibari with his persistence, and as the two prepared to fight on the school roof, Skull arrived via an airship and, angered by Hibari's lack of obedience, began to attack. During the fight the airship began to lose control and crash towards the School, however Ryohei and Hibari worked together and managed to stop it while defeating Skull and protecting [[Kyoko]] and [[Haru]]. Afterwards Hibari agreed to take the trial in order to repay Ryohei for protecting the school but at that moment Knuckle showed up, announcing that Ryohei had already passed his Trial by convincing Hibari. Alaude also appeared, declaring that Hibari too, had passed the test by refraining from socializing with the family while at the same time adapting to the situation to protect those that needed protection. Later, while the other Guardians were trapped in [[Daemon Spade]]'s illusion, Skull took Hibari's armband so that he would chase him to Kokuyo Land. Once there Hibari went on a rampage and broke the illusion around the other Guardians. The next day, Hibari and the others returned to the future to fight Byakuran and Real Six Funeral Wreaths for the last time. |

| − | |||
| − | ====[[Future Final Battle Arc]]==== |
||
| − | [[File:Hibari vs Daisy.PNG|thumb|255px|Hibari fights Daisy]] |
||
| − | Back in the future, Hibari and Dino faced off against [[Daisy]] at Namimori High. Daisy opened his Box of Carnage and defeated Dino. However, Hibari was able to defeat Daisy once he used his [[Cambio Forma]] and confiscated the [[Mare Rings|Sun Mare Ring]]. He later appeared to be killed by [[Kikyo]], though it turned out to be an Illusion created by Mukuro. Later, Hibari had his Dying Will Flames drained by [[Ghost]] (along with everyone else present). When Byakuran appears, he and the others could only watch as Tsuna fight Byakuran alone. After Tsuna defeated Byakuran, he and the others returned to the past. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===[[Inheritance Ceremony Arc]]=== |
||
| − | After being sent back to the past, Hibari soon started arguing with a transfer from [[Simon Middle School]], [[Adelheid Suzuki]], about the control of Namimori Middle School. The next day, they started fighting in the rooftop but were stopped by Tsuna. At the Ceremony, he surprised the entire Famiglia with his murderous intent and the fact that he had decided to show up at all. He states that the people who have disturbed the peace of Namimori Middle will be bitten to death. Later, he along with the other guardians was defeated by Enma, and had their Vongola Rings broken. |
||
| − | After the Simon Famiglia left, Dino asked him if he was all right. Hibari replied that he was, with the exception of his pride. Later, while Talbot was upgrading the Vongola Rings, Hibari waited in a different room from Tsuna and the others. Like the others, he was able to show his resolve and his Vongola Ring upgraded into [[Bracelet of the Clouds Version X]]. Upon arrival at the Shimon Island, he watches the others from a helicopter. When Adelheid appears to challenge the Vongola Famiglia he appears from helicopter along with Kusakabe who left shortly. He accepted Adelheid's challenge, claimed that she could not bite him to death and revealed his Vongola Gear, Modified Uniform, starting the battle. |
||
| − | [[File:Hibari defeat Ice Puppets.jpg|thumb|left|Hibari destroys four Blizzaroids]] |
||
| − | Before Hibari could attack, Adelheid encased herself in her Diamond Castle, claiming it was impenetrable. She then summoned 500 Blizzardroids, claiming that they all possessed the same level of skill as her and that they would take Hibari's arm band. Uninterested, Hibari calmly strikes down the first Blizzardroids that attack him using a Cloud Flame-enhanced chain shot out from his tonfas, much to Adelheid's surprise. Hibari then, after casually yawning, begins striking down the other Blizzardroids, switching between his tonfas, the chain, Roll and Alaude's Handcuffs until all 500 have been destroyed. Undeterred yet surprised, Adelheid reforms several Blizzardroids behind Hibari, who dismisses them as not being a threat to him. Adelheid then asks Hibari why a man of his caliber has sided with Tsuna, and Kyoya retorts that he isn't and asks Adelheid why she follows someone equally as pitiful. When Adelheid tries to defend Enma by saying he carries the sadness of Simon, Hibari remarks he is a small animal and that he keeps on screaming because he bears things too big for him. |
||
| − | This sends Adelheid into a rage, who declares that Enma hates war and only chose this path to preserve the Simon, while sending her revived Blizzardroids to attack Hibari, who quickly cuts them down. Hibari then begins striking Adelheid's Diamond Castle, but his attacks seem to do nothing more than leave shallow cracks in the ice. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:H gets Armband.png|thumb|250px|Hibari seizes Adelheid's armband]] |
||
| − | As Adelheid revives her Blizzardroids again, Hibari quickly defeats them and continues trying to break the castle, but Reborn comments that if Hibari continues at this pace he would run out of stamina. When Adelheid claims that Hibari will never break her castle and take her armband, Hibari says that in some cases, small animals aren't weaklings and have their methods of survival; otherwise they would have died out long ago. He then comments that Roll would be the one to shatter her castle from the inside; as Adelheid ponders what he means, it is revealed that Hibari planted copies of Roll in each crack he left. He then has Roll go into Needle Sphere Form and the copies inside the castle grow and shatter it. Hibari then appears behind a stunned Adelheid who says that despite her loss, Enma would revive the Simon and Hibari would regret siding with the Vongola. Hibari responds that he isn't on either side but does as he pleases, which Adelheid claims makes him a true cloud of the great sky. While Hibari doesn't like her phrasing, he states that the sky does allow the clouds to move freely, but one day he would bite up the sky itself. |
||
| − | After Daemon possesses Mukuro's body, Hibari challenges him to a one-on-one battle and tells Tsuna and the others not to interfere. At first, he is seen gaining the upper hand until Daemon copied Ryohei's Vongola Gear and uses Maximum Sunshine Counter. Hibari is able to dodges this since Daemon let it miss on purpose and then traps Hibari into his Illusionary world like he did to Gokudera, Yamamoto, Lambo, and Julie. |
||
| − | After Tsuna defeated Daemon, Hibari exits the world and sees the final key. A week later, Hibari leaves to fight the recently released Mukuro. (Unfortunately, in volume 36 side picture, Mukuro is not present since he already left for Jura). |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===[[The Curse of the Rainbow Arc]]=== |
||
| − | ====Arcobaleno Request==== |
||
| − | Reborn asks Hibari if he wanted to be a part of the [[Representative Battle of the Rainbow]]; Hibari declined Reborn's request. Reborn states that Hibari got a severe case of hives after being with Tsuna and his Guardians during the long battle with Daemon. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====1st Day of Representative Battle of the Rainbow==== |
||
| − | [[File:Fon and Hibari.jpg|thumb|256px|Fon and Hibari confront Team Reborn's members]] |
||
| − | Later, it is revealed that he became Fon's representative, during the first battle royale round, where he eliminates Ryohei, but is immobilized by Yamamoto's Rain Flame [[Tranquility]] characteristic, which allowed Yamamoto and Gokudera to escape. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====2nd Day of Representative Battle of the Rainbow==== |
||
| − | On the second day, before the battle started, Hibari revealed to Dino that his sole reason for becoming Fon's representative was to 'bite him to death'. Later, Hibari, along with Fon, fights Team Mammon. Before he could finish his battle with Xanxus, however, the watch announced that the battle is over. Hibari, cannot accepting the result and still want to fight, destroys his own [[Boss Watch]] and thus eliminates [[Team Fon]] from the Representative Battle. Since Xanxus was stopped by other Varia members from continuing their fight and destroying the boss watch, Hibari turns his attention to Dino. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Grand Convention==== |
||
| − | It revealed that Hibari had been fighting Dino since the end of the second day battle at Namimori Mountain until Tsuna arrived and revealed everything about Arcobaleno and the Representative war, shocking both of them. Later, he, along with people who Tsuna had contacted yesterday night gathered at Tsuna's house as Tsuna asked for them to fight together. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====4th Day of Representative Battle of the Rainbow==== |
||
| − | [[File:Hibari & His Many Hibirds.PNG|thumb|220px|Hibari Angered by Xanxus' Disturbance]] |
||
| − | At the fourth day and last day of Representative Battle of the Rainbow, Hibari is chosen as one elite members to fight against Bermuda and his team. He saved Dino from Jager's attack and work together with Mukuro to fight Jager's formidable strength. He was confident when Jager was unable to short warp his weapon, but this proven to be wrong when Jager short warp and appear behind Hibari, dodging Hibari's Vongola Gear. Tsuna arrived in time to save him from Jager's sneak attack. He and Mukuro protected Tsuna as Jager continued his attack, which Jager responded by stabbing them through their shoulders. Mukuro used his illusions to keep Jager in place as Tsuna shot his X-Burner at him, defeating the Vindice. However, this leaves Hibari and Mukuro gravely injured and they collapsed, unable to continue fighting. Bermuda interfered before Tsuna could destroy the boss watch. He destroyed Hibari's and the other remaining members' battler watches to prevent them from assisting Tsuna. |
||
| − | |||
| − | After Tsuna defeated Bermuda and Kawahira removed the Arcobaleno curse, he was submitted into Namimori Hospital along with Dino, Basil, Varia, Byakuran, and Kokuyo Junior High Gang. Because of Xanxus' attack, the wall of his room was destroyed, disturbing his sleep. This annoyed him and he counter the attack with his tonfa and enter Xanxus' room as he said that he will bite those who disturb his sleep to death with several Hibirds flying around him, making Tsuna wonder how Hibari was able to sleep with all those Hibird chirping. His tonfa caused the wall that connected to Mukuro's room destroyed, startling Mukuro and his subordinates who were eating their snacks. Since their rooms are all connected, Reborn suggested to having a pillow fight, which they replied by suggesting another games that will cause more injuries, destroying some parts of the hospital. In the final chapter, he is shown when Tsuna narrates his thought of how he has friends that he could rely on now. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Relationships== |
||
| − | ===[[Tetsuya Kusakabe]]=== |
||
| − | He is Hibari's right-hand man both in the present and future. Kusakabe highly respect Hibari and is very loyal towards Hibari and would diligently carry out his order whatever it would be without further question. He would always follow him everywhere to watch over him and make sure he won't do anything reckless, though sometimes this ends up with him being beaten by the latter. Hibari shows little care for Kusakabe's well-being, punishing him whenever he fails his duty as disciplinary committee despite Kusakabe already being injured and treat him indifferently as he does to others. However, they are shown to have a closer relationship in the future, as Kusakabe addresses Hibari by the nickname 'Kyo-san' and Hibari addresses Kusakabe with the nickname 'Tetsu'. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===[[Mukuro Rokudo]]=== |
||
| − | Hibari displays bitter resentment and rivalry towards Mukuro Rokudo due to humiliation over his defeat. As such Hibari appears to have developed an obsession to defeat Mukuro and from this, a hate for all illusionists. Reborn is even able to quell Hibari's rage by using the possibility of him fighting Mukuro again. Mukuro seems to have some interest in Hibari, after he was able to move with so many injuries. He even has his subordinates Ken, Chikusa, and Chrome to watch his match against Gola Mosca. In the future, they still continue with this rivalry and have yet to finish (since Mukuro is still imprisoned). However, they seem at least, to have a respect towards each other, Mukuro even sent a map of Melone Base to Hibari when he disguised himself as Byakuran's subordinate. Ironically, both are totally in sync when fighting together as pointed by Reborn. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===[[Tsunayoshi Sawada]]=== |
||
| − | In the Databook, he commented that he can't understand Tsuna since he's weak sometimes and strong sometimes (Dying Will Mode). At first, Tsuna didn't interest him, but in the Future, Tsuna already gained his respect. Hibari states the only two people that make him happy to fight are Reborn and Future Tsuna. Together with Irie and Vongola Decimo (Future Tsuna), they planned to send Tsuna and the other Guardians from the Past to the Future. He was the only Guardian Tsuna informed about this risky plan. Tsuna also sees him as a valuable comrade and thinks very highly of him. More often, though, Tsuna sees him as a scary person and doesn't want to incur his wrath. In Inheritance Ceremony Arc, when Tsuna lost his will to fight and depressed, Hibari confronted him and said that he makes a boring face and told him to watch closely his fight. This may mean that Hibari has started to acknowledge the current Tsuna's power, along with his statement to Adelheid, that "he will one day bite the sky", may show that he has a desire to fight Tsuna. He sometimes addresses Tsuna as "small animal". Considering that he likes small animals, this may be his way of showing that he doesn't hate Tsuna. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The greatest sign of Hibari acknowledging Tsuna, potentially even respecting him, is when during the Curse of the Rainbow arc, when Hibari was fighting against Dino after the second day of the representative battle, and Tsuna told that that he had something to tell them, the moment that Tsuna showed how serious he was, Hibari stopped his fight with Dino to listen to him, a feat that is very rare, especially as Hibari was very determined to bite Dino to death. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===[[Ryohei Sasagawa]]=== |
||
| − | Both of them are the two oldest Guardians. Ryohei acknowledges Hibari's power and had already visited his house several times to challenge him but was always beaten by him (according to the art book). On the other hand, Hibari only sees him as a "noisy animal" and treats him like the others. However, in the Future, they seem to already have a respect toward each other. Ryohei even invited him to drink together at some event which Hibari refused, and sometimes their thoughts clash with each other and create an argument for even the smallest thing, which ends up with Ryohei challenging him to fight. In the Inheritance Succession Arc (anime only), Ryohei is the only one who managed to convince Hibari to take the trial. This makes Ryohei the second person to be able to convince Hibari on something, after Dino. Ryohei is also the only person who makes an effort to befriend him, much to the shock of others. Ryohei's efforts was not in vain, since in the future, they seemed to have much better relationship than before. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===[[Dino]]=== |
||
| − | Dino is Hibari's home-tutor during the Ring Battles with the Varia; however, Hibari doesn't see him as his teacher and doesn't care about it, only wanting to bite him to death. Dino sees him as his student and acknowledges his skills when he trains him, but also finds it hard to train him since Hibari has no interest in listening to him. Moreover, Dino seems to be the only one who can convince Hibari to stop fighting, though at first, it was very hard to do so. However in the future, he is able to convince him more easily and always accompanies him if he "runs off" because of his dislike of crowds. Dino thinks of him as a reliable Guardian for Tsuna. Hibari doesn't seem to hate him, although is sometimes irritated by him. Once in a while, Hibari will take what Dino says in account. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hibari tells Dino that one of the reasons he joined Team Fon was to bite him to death. Upon Fon asking the reason why, Hibari reveals that Dino was the first person to ever want to be his mentor, stating that he has no need for such a thing, and so he wants to win against Dino to prove that he doesn't need him. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Abilities and Weapons== |
||
| − | Hibari is a frightening individual that has earn the respect, and fear, of many people, both present and future. He is the strongest of the Guardians, and has hardly ever lost a fight in the series. In the times he faced against Gokudera and Yamamoto, he easily defeated them in their first initial encounters, but afterwards, they grew strong enough to give him a challenge, but not enough to excite him, as the only ones that could do that were Reborn and Future Tsuna. |
||
| − | |||
| − | One of the most terrifying traits of Hibari is his immense resilience and endurance. He is still able to fight despite having several broken bones and even capable of resisting Death Heather poison that was capable to stopping elephant from moving. Later on, Hibari has become very adept at using [[Rings]]; opening Cloud attribute Box weapon's with Cloud Rings, although he usually shatter's them after one use, due to the intensity of his flames. Hibari has also shown to be capable of emitting a massive Dying Will Flame with the Cloud [[Vongola Ring]]; The flame was so great in fact, that it overloaded his Box Weapon and made the Cloud Hedgehog drunk from the flames, which later caused it to go out of control. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Equipment=== |
||
| − | [[File:Vongola Cloud Hedgehog2.PNG|thumb|Vongola Cloud Hedgehog]] |
||
| − | *'''[[Cloud Tonfas|Tonfas]]''': Hibari's tonfas seem to be his main weapon for combat. Later it is revealed that they hold hidden compartments. The ends of the tonfas can release flails and the sides contain spikes and hooks. |
||
| − | *'''[[Cloud Hedgehog]]''': In the future, Hibari's Box Weapon is a Cloud Hedgehog. When released, the hedgehog can multiply in number. He often will use his hedgehogs when he fights opponents he deems as weak. When facing stronger enemies, he then will instead use his Cloud Tonfas. Due to the Cloud Flame's [[Propagation]] ability, he can increase the size of his Hedgehogs to large proportions when they take in his flames. |
||
| − | *'''[[Vongola Cloud Hedgehog]]''': Hibari's original Cloud Hedgehog Roll is later integrated into his Vongola Box. It now appears as a Hedgehog with larger, but fewer, spikes than the other Cloud Hedgehogs. |
||
| − | *'''[[Roll (Version X)]]''': Roll takes his initial appearance (as he appeared before as a Cloud Hedgehog), although with jewels on both his forehead and chest. He is now capable of merging directly with Hibari for his Cambio Forma. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Hibari Cambio Forma.PNG|thumb|250px|Hibari's Cambio Forma]] |
||
| − | *'''''[[Cambio Forma]]: [[Alaude's Handcuffs]]''''': Hibari's Cambio Forma takes the form of a pair of spiked black handcuffs. He can multiply the number of handcuffs by using the Cloud Flame's Propagation attribute. These handcuffs can be used to envelop and restrain an opponent. Hibari can then dramatically decrease the size of the restraints, crushing his opponent on all sides of their body. In its [[Hibari's Cambio Forma Version Vongola Gear|Version X form]] the [[Cambio Forma Version X|Cambio Forma]] allows Hibari to gain a pair of modified tonfas on each arm and a trench coat. |
||
| − | *'''[[Bracelet of the Clouds Version X]]''': The upgraded Vongola Cloud Ring, combined with Hibari's Vongola Box animal Roll. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Techniques=== |
||
| − | *'''[[Flame Radar|Cloud Flame Radar]]''': He uses his Ring's Flames as a radar by thinly spreading the Flame over a wide area and using the vibrations to detect anything that enters the area. This allows him to counter illusions by using it to sense where the actual object is, as seen in his battle against Genkishi's Spettrale Nudibranchia. |

For Chapter 016, see Kyoya Hibari (chapter)
Kyoya Hibari, commonly referred to as Hibari, is one of the major characters in the Katekyo Hitman Reborn! series. He is the leader of the Namimori Middle Disciplinary Committee, a group of delinquents who are all loyal to him. He was nominated and accepted as the tenth generation Cloud Guardian of the Vongola Famiglia. He is often seen napping on the rooftop of Namimori Middle School, alongside Hibird.
Appearance
Hibari's character design.
Hibari is a young man with an average height and short black hair with a fringe that joins at the center of his face. He has narrow gray eyes, often intimidating those who see them. He bears a striking resemblance to the first generation Cloud Guardian, Alaudi, as well as the Arcobaleno, Fon.
Hibari's most common outfit is his Disciplinary Committee uniform. He wears a white long-sleeved shirt, black pants, black shoes, and a black gakuran top worn on his shoulders, with the committee's armband pinned on the top's left sleeve. He also wears the standard Namimori Middle School summer uniform, along with the armband. During the Varia Arc, Hibari wears the winter uniform, also with the armband.
Future Hibari's character design.
After gaining the Cloud Vongola Ring, Hibari wears it on his right middle finger. He wears the Bracelet of the Cloud Version X on his left wrist.
Ten-years-later Hibari has changed to wearing a simple black suit, with a purple shirt and black necktie. His hair is also shorter, having been cut to appear messier, and with hardly any fringe. When not training or fighting, he would wear a black kinagashi.
Personality
The word “discipline” is something that I will never give up no matter what. But it’s not because it is my pride that I will not give it up. It’s because I cannot give it up. That is why it is my pride.
Kyoya Hibari, Chapter 322
Hibari's eagerness to fight.
As stated by others, Hibari is a scary character with no care for the well-being of others, preferring to do whatever it takes to get what he wants. He has full confidence in his own strength and power. This often leads to his opponents surprising him, as he doesn't think before attacking. As the head of Namimori Middle's Disciplinary Committee, Hibari uses authority to assault those that get on his nerves, including his own subordinates.
He prefers to be alone and hates crowding. This leads him to beat anyone who he thinks is crowding around him too much. He is often seen taking a nap or observing students from the school's rooftop.
A rare trait about him is his love for small animals, ranging from birds to hedgehogs. He is also shown to have a soft spot for I-Pin, having accepted her Valentine's Day chocolates with a smile and not taking money from Tsuna at a festival upon seeing I-Pin worried.
Hibari is fiercely loyal to his school and its rules, going so far as to punish others for breaking them even if they aren't students or at the school, such as Genkishi.
Hibari's helpful side.
Hibari dislikes working together with anybody due to feeling indebted and restrained. He strives to pay them back as soon as possible. He cannot stand being restrained and absolutely refuses to allow himself to be controlled.
Future Hibari is shown to be more calm and observant about his opponents, and outwardly admits to hating illusionists because of his grudge towards Mukuro Rokudo, the first person to have defeated him. His desire to be alone and attack people that annoy him still remains, though his actions are shown with more thought. Future Hibari is also seen being more respectful to Future Tsuna, showing that he has accepted him as his boss, seen in one of the flashbacks of Shoichi Irie.
Abilities
Hibari's fast reflexes.
Hibari's reputation as a frightening individual definitely precedes him, earning the respect and fear of many people, both present and future. He is the strongest of the tenth generation Vongola Guardians and has hardly ever lost a fight in the series. In the times he faced against Gokudera and Yamamoto, he easily defeated them in their first initial encounters, but afterward, they grew strong enough to give him a challenge, but not enough to excite him, as the only ones that could do that were Reborn and Future Tsuna.[5][6]
One of the most terrifying traits of Hibari is his immense resilience and endurance. He is still able to fight despite having several broken bones and even capable of resisting Death Heather poison that was capable of stopping elephants from moving. Later on, Hibari has become very adept at using Rings although he usually shatters them after one use, due to the intensity of his flames. Hibari is capable of emitting massive Dying Will Flames with the Cloud Vongola Ring. The massive flame overloaded his Box Weapon and made the Porcospino Nuvola drunk from the flames, causing it to go out of control.
Techniques
- Cloud Flame Radar: Hibari uses his Ring's Flames as a radar by thinly spreading the Flame over a wide area and using the vibrations to detect anything that enters the area. This allows him to counter illusions by using it to sense where the actual object is, as seen in his battle against Genkishi's Spettro Nudibranchi.
Equipment
Hibari's pair of tonfas.
- Tonfas: Hibari's main weapon for combat is a pair of tonfas. It is revealed that they hold hidden compartments. The ends of the tonfas can release flails and the sides contain spikes and hooks.
Vongola Cloud Hedgehog
- Porcospino Nuvola: Hibari's Box Weapon, nicknamed as Roll. It is a small purple hedgehog with silver spikes. Hibari uses his hedgehogs when he fights opponents he deems as weak. With Cloud Flame's Propagation characteristic, Roll is able to multiply in number and grow to large proportions.
- Porcospino Nuvola ver. Vongola: Hibari's original Cloud Hedgehog Roll is later integrated into his Vongola Box. It now appears as a Hedgehog with larger, but fewer, spikes than the other Cloud Hedgehogs.
- Alaudi's Handcuffs: Roll's Cambio Forma takes the form of a pair of spiked black handcuffs. He can multiply the number of handcuffs by using the Cloud Flame's Propagation characteristic.
- Porcospino Nuvola ver. Vongola: Hibari's original Cloud Hedgehog Roll is later integrated into his Vongola Box. It now appears as a Hedgehog with larger, but fewer, spikes than the other Cloud Hedgehogs.
- Cloud Vongola Ring: Won after the Vongola Ring Conflict against the Varia. Hibari wears the Ring on his right hand. He is able to open Cloud-attribute Box Weapons.
- Bracelet of the Cloud Version X: The upgraded Vongola Cloud Ring, combined with Hibari's Vongola Box animal Roll. In battle, Roll now has jewels on both his forehead and chest. He is now capable of merging directly with Hibari for his Cambio Forma.
Character Reception
On November 7, 2007, a character CD entitled "Sakura Addiction," featuring Mukuro and Hibari, was released, and became the most successful Reborn! character CD, debuting in ninth place in the Oricon charts. The single reached its peak at seventh place, but remained in the chart's Top 40 until mid-January 2008. It contains duets and individual songs sung by both voice actors: Toshinobu Iida and Takashi Kondō. There are two available covers; both show one character as the main feature, with the other shown in the background with his back turned. The song "Sakura addiction," which was a duet sung by both voice actors, was used as the fifth ending theme for the series.
For the second annual Seiyū Awards, Toshinobu Iida and Takashi Kondō each received a nomination for "Best Musical Performance," for "Sakura Addiction."
