Hibiki Tokai is a third-class citizen of Tsarak who finds himself entangled with Duero and Bart when they are thrown into a dangerous situation involving the Nirvana being attacked by Harvesters. Initially hesitant to take action, he changes his mind after speaking with BC and decides to join the Vanguard in an effort to aid the female pilots in their fight against the enemy. Despite his impulsiveness, Hibiki proves himself capable of quickly ending any threats posed by the Harvesters.
During the course of the series, Hibiki and Dita have an odd-couple relationship. In the initial episodes, Hibiki would run away from Dita every time she came after him, finding her very annoying. He even screamed at her, getting her to leave him alone, in which he indirectly apologizes to her later. Hibiki gets used to being around Dita, often helping her out on board the Nirvana. He also falls in love with Dita's cooking and eventually with Dita herself.
By the end of the series, it is revealed he is the son of the empress of Mejare and emperor of Taraak, Lady Grand-ma and Lord Grand-pa respectively, who was frozen in hibernation, but awakened mysteriously around 14 years before the series began. His uncle, Grand-pas younger brother, whom he refers to as "grandfather," took care of him when he emerged from cryostasis.
It is also his rally to the two planets that convinces all of them that they should fight for their right to live, when the Harvester fleet from Earth arrives.
