Hikari Shinomiya: zodiac sign and birth chart
Hikari Shinomiya is a Cancer, born on July 7. The manga's profile never gives a year, so her Moon and the rest of her chart come from NEBO's take. Cancer fits the former Defense Force captain, a legend fighters still look up to: warm, steady and her daughter's biggest support.

Canon says Cancer. Our model says Scorpio.
We ran Hikari through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets her most often. It reads her as Scorpio Sun, with Scorpio Rising and Mars and a Cancer Moon.

Canon's Cancer is the protector. Scorpio is the unshakeable side that goes to the front, so the others don't have to.

No birth time in canon. First impression: a warm, steady presence in the flashbacks, with a smile that says it's under control.
- Mercury CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeNo clear pick
- Venus

Scorpio Venus loves deep and plants self-belief in the people she loves. That's her legacy.
- Mars
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeScorpio
Scorpio Mars is controlled and unshakeable. She fights with such confidence that even the scariest kaiju becomes just another job.
Where we agree: Cancer is in the model's chart too, in the Moon, and Scorpio keeps it all in the water.
