Character Outline

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 anthem, 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" (kamikorosu), 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. But later, during the Kokuyo Arc, he was given the antidote from Gokudera before Tsuna and Mukuro faced off for the last battle of that Arc.

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 till mid-January of 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 their music theme "Sakura Addiction".

Trivia

He is referred to as 18 in the Reborn! fandom as '1' in the old Japanese counting system is 'hi' and '8' from the same system can be pronounced as 'ba' hence, Hiba(ri).
His last name, 'Hibari', can be translated into skylark, a type of bird. As such, Hibari is shown to have an affinity for birds in the series.
In a recent popularity poll, Hibari ranked second, with 14,017 votes.
In the annual internet survey by Japanese music distributor Recochoku, "The Character I Want to Be My Groom" he ranked #1 two times.
Hibari resembles and acts like the First Vongola Cloud Guardian.
The Future Hibari hates illusionists. This shows that Hibari continues to have a rivalry with Mukuro. Ironically, illusionists use Mist flames, which Hibari is capable of using.
Hibari is one of the quickest one to open his Box Weapon.
Even though he is still in Namimori Middle School, Hibari apparently owns and rides a motorcycle.
