| − | ''I'll bite you to death'' |
||
| + | '''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]]. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | [[Image:Hibari.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Hibari as he currently appears]]'''Kyoya Hibari''' is the leader of the Discipline Committee of Prefects, who all are delinquents loyal to Hibari. Like his subordinates, he too is a violent delinquent who uses his status to harass other students. However, he prefers to be alone and cares little for his subordinates. Hibari is very proud of his school, and is apparently the only person who likes their school's alma mater, even using it as his ring tone. In the Kokuyo Arc, he adopted one of the Kokuyo assassin Birds' bird . The bird (subsequently nicknamed "Hibird" due to its connection to Hibari) becomes attached to Hibari. Reborn piqued Hibari's curiosity early on in the series, and Hibari considers him a worthy opponent, having a strong urge to fight him. His catchphrase is "I'll bite you to death" (kamikorrosu), which he often says before a fight. He also has a weakness to sakura/cherry blossoms, due to Dr. Shamal transferring an incurable disease to him earlier in the manga. |

||
| + | [[File:Anime character sheet hibari.jpg|thumb|left|Hibari's character design.]] |
||
| − | ==[[Kokuyo Arc]]== |
||
| + | 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]]. |
||
| − | During the Kokuyo Arc, Hibari is presumably the number 1 on the target list (as Futa refused to make a new one, which would have made Tsuna #1). Making him Chikusa's target (Chikusa was after the odd number and Ken the evens). However, he went after Mukuro alone, wanting to remove the "King of Monkeys" which threaten his position as the in-charge of the town. Mukuro takes advantage of Hibari's "cherryitis" by making an illusion of cherry blossoms, and subsequently beats Hibari to a pulp. Hibari then remains unseen until Gokudera, fighting a losing battle against Ken and Chikusa, releases him from captivity. He subsequently deafeats both and carries Gokudera to where Tsuna is fighting Mukuro. He receives medicine from Gokudera that cured his cherryitis and allowed him to battle with Mukuro. It is revealed that he was actually fighting purely on instinct and had passed out shortly after overpowering Mukuro. His body is in such bad shape that his body is not viable for Mukuro's Possession Shot. |
||
| + | 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. |
||

||
| − | [[Image:Cloud_Ringu.jpg|thumb|130px|left|He is the Guardian of the Cloud]][[Image:Cloud_Ring.jpg|200px|thumb|Cloud Ring and the Vongola Coat of Arms]]During the Varia arc, he is made Tsuna's Cloud Guardian (as Reborn notes he fits the bill perfectly), Dino is appointed his home tutor but they spend the time fighting in multiple environments in order to increase Hibari's experience. He only returns after the Storm Ring battle and immediately attempts to bite everyone to death for the destruction caused to the school, Reborn however placates him by offering him a chance for a rematch with Mukuro. He battles Gola Mosca for the ring, easily wiping him out with one tonfa strike. He then attempts to do battle with Xanxus, but as Belphegor notes, if Xanxus were to raise a hand against Tsuna's family(which has officially won with a 4-3 record)it will be seen as an act of rebellion and all of then will be executed. It was all a ploy on Xanxus' part, as he wanted Hibari to stall long enough for Gola Mosca to once again become active, sending him on a rampage. Causing Tsuna to arrive and do battle with it. Ultimately, Hibari was a pawn in order for Xanxus to get a Sky Battle. During the Sky battle he manages to resist the Death Hitter venom and rescues Gokudera and Yamamoto, before taking his leave. |

| + | 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''. |

||
| ⚫ | |||
| + | 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. |
||
| − | In the future, Hibari is said to be the strongest Vongola Guardian. He appears to save Hayato and Takeshi and defeat Gamma. After their reunion, he agrees to train Tsuna. Hibari was previously been traveling around the world searching for information concerning the box weapons by starting "[[Foundation|The Foundation]]". Hibari defended the hideout against the [[Millefiore]] raid. Later he infiltrates the Melone base where he fought [[Genkishi]]. As [[Genkishi]] was about to land the final blow, Hibari was replaced by his younger self. It seemed the adult Hibari was aware this was about to happen. Hibari, instructed by [[Kusakabe]], then activated his ring flames and opens a box weapon. His hedgehog, overloaded with his flame, went into shock and expanded its spikes at great speed, separating the two fighters. Later it was revealed that Irie Shoichi, future Tsuna,and Future Hibari planned together secretly to fight against the Millefore Family and that was one of the reason he knew about the raiding. |
||
| + | 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. |
||
| − | ===[[Choice]]=== |
||
| − | Hibari was not present to receive a full battle uniform, but did show up along with Dino. He, on Tsuna's command, released his Vongola Box Animal - a hedgehog with bigger, but less numerous spikes as it appears. For now, it is unknown where he has been during all the training. |
||
| + | 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. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | According to [[Futa|Fūta]]'s ranking list of the strongest students of Namimori High, Hibari is the number one strongest student in his school (it could be disputed that Tsuna is stronger when in is HDW mode or DW mode), a fierce and well trained fighter who has an almost insatiable bloodlust for a worthy opponent. As his main weapon, he uses a pair of tonfa. Hibari's tonfa have also been shown to have hidden compartments containing other weapons. In the future, he has a box weapon which contains another pair of tonfa which emit Dying Will Flames. |
||
| + | 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]]. |
||
| − | In the future, Hibari has become adept at using rings. His flame has become so intense that even without the Cloud Vongola ring, he is capable of great feats of strength. However, he shatters normal rings when he uses them. The younger Hibari is also capable of emitting a massive Dying Will flame with the Vongola Ring though he had only recently arrived in the future. This was said to emerge when Hibari was feeling angry with others for disrupting him. It is revealed that Dino taught him how to emit the flames. Hibari has been shown to have more knowledge than most concerning the boxes and uses them at a high proficiency. |

||
| − | :'''[[Box Weapons|Needle Sphere Form, Reversed]]''' - He creates a big airtight space where only people are allowed inside. Use of [[Box Weapons]] are restricted, leaving [[Hibari]] and his opponent to a direct fight. |
||
| + | 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]]. |

||
| + | 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. |

||
| + | 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 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."
