Kyoya Hibari is the leader of the Discipline Committee of Prefects, who all are loyal to Hibari. He 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" which he often says before a fight.

He even keeps a calm demeanor when the Cloud Hedgehog accidentally skewers his outstretched hand with one of its spikes.
Hibari beat up Tsuna, Gokudera and Yamamoto for using his office as their new Base. Reborn saved them from him and as such Hibari gained an interest in fighting him. Later, Dr. Shamal gave Hibari the Sakura virus so that Tsuna's Family could view the Sakura in peace. In the anime, however, it is unknown as to why Dr. Shamal had chosen to inject him with the virus.
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 later imprisoned within Kokuyo Land but was freed by Gokudera, who also gave him the cure for the disease. Hibari then fought Mukuro again but fell unconscious due to his previous injuries.

As Genkishi was about to land a finishing blow, Hibari was replaced by his younger self. Hibari was able to separate the group from Genkishi when his Hedgehog Box Weapon went into shock and expanded at great speed. Later it was revealed that Irie Shoichi, Future Tsuna and Future Hibari planned together secretly to fight against the Millefore Family and that was the reason he knew about the Raid. Along with the other Vongola Guardians he was given a Vongola Box.
He later left the group and encountered the Future Dino, who began training him once again.
After the Choice Battle, his Vongola Box prevented the Six Funeral Wreaths from running after the Vongola. Later at Namimori High he faced off against Daisy with Dino. Daisy opened his Hell Hole and beat Dino. However Hibari was able to defeat Daisy once he used his Cambio Forma and confiscated the Sun Mare Ring. He later appeared to be killed by Kikyo, but was revealed to be an Illusion created by Mukuro.
Relationship
Hibird
Hibird used to be one of Birds' birds. After Hibari taught him the anthem of Namimori Middle School, the bird became Hibari's personal pet. The bird is subsequently nicknamed "Hibird" by Haru when she saw it sitting in his shoulder (Chapter 141). It has also been shown that Hibird understands Hibari's commands and what he says. An example of this is as Hibari is going to sleep atop Namimori Middle School, he says to Hibird, "Don't disturb me." Hibird flies away singing the school's anthem.
Mukuro Rokudo
Hibari holds a grudge and rivaly with Mukuro since he was defeated by him for the first time, much to his humiliation. He really wants to bite him to death no matter what. He has even gone so far as to not bite Tsuna and the others to death when Reborn promises him that he could fight Mukuro again. Mukuro is also interested in him and accepted his challenge in the Arcobaleno arc (Anime only). Mukuro is also the reason why he hates Illusionists in the Future.
Tsunayoshi Sawada
In the Databook, he commented that he can't understand Tsuna since he's weak sometimes and strong sometimes (Dying Will Mode) and at first didn't interest him, but in the Future, Tsuna already gained his respect and Hibari states the only two people that make him joyed to fight is Reborn and Future Tsuna even together with Irie, they planned to sent Tsuna and the other Guardians from the Past to the Future. Tsuna also sees him as valuable comrade at fight and think highly of him, but more often sees him as a scary person and didn't want him in a bad mood.
Hayato Gokudera
It seems that Hibari has some connection with Gokudera. First, Gokudera frees him from Mukuro's Prison, and then defeats Ken and Chikusa. Hibari helps Gokudera again by taking the Storm Vongola Ring from Belphegor and throwing it at him during the Sky Battle. During the Future Arc, Gokudera's pet cat, Uri, wanders off into Hibari's quarters in the middle of the night. Hibari, then returns Uri to Gokudera, but not without first threatening to "Bite them all to Death". However, he surprisingly lets them go, insisting that he is too sleepy to do so. Gokudera says that he will repay the favor, but Hibari says that he will wait with little expectation. Gokudera, however, repays the favor by protecting him from Genkishi's attack. During the Sky Battle, Reborn also mentions that the Cloud calls the Storm.
