Voiced by: KENN
The most collected member of Callings.- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Along with Wataru, Hibiki only appears in 4 out of 51 episodes in Dear My Future, and he is largely divorced from major plot-related segments. The narrative also basically treats Callings as if they don't exist, which gets ridiculous during the last half of the series, particularly the Sky High Symphonia and Grateful Symphonia arcs.
