[edit] Personality And Traits

18 year-old Ryoto Hikawa is a bashful, kind-hearted boy, though he tends to think pessimistically. His family owns a karate dojo, and being the youngest child in his family of many older sisters, Ryoto is an obedient person, and prefers not to engage in combat with others. As a pilot, he is not unskillful, but usually not on par with some of the elite pilots in his unit. As well, he develops difficulty in being able to convey his feelings. Because of this, Ryoto comes to hate himself for being who he is, mirroring of Shinji Ikari of Neon Genesis Evangelion. However, he likes working with machines, and is an expert engineer and developer, This is shown through his aid in the creation of the Mao Industries' Huckebein MK III.

Ryoto has Psychodriver abilities, as well as reaction times comparable to SRX Team's Ryusei Date. Both of them are shown to be above average Burning PT players in the animated Super Robot Wars Original Generation: Divine Wars. A major stumbling block in his abilities to become a powerhouse is that he, in Adler Koch's terms, "does not possess a killer instinct."

[edit] History

Ryoto Hikawa was one of the few players of the Burning PT game to catch the eye of the Divine Crusaders, and was drafted into their force. However, due to his lack of aggression, he was demoted to the grunt units. His unit was assigned to intercept the Hagane, but was too reluctant to attack the Hagane's Personal Trooper units. After the rest of his unit was defeated, Ryoto was captured by the crew of the Hagane, where it was discovered that his commander had hidden a bomb on his Lion, intending for the Hagane to capture him, where the bomb would detonate and severely damage the ship (killing Ryoto in the process). Ryoto eventually decides to join them in their fight against the Divine Crusaders, and later, the Aerogaters.

After the events of Original Generation, he decides to work for Mao Industries, developing new mecha for them. He was the pilot of the Huckebein MK III, which was first displayed against the Inspectors' Mekibos, and recklessly ordered the docking sequence between the Huckebein MK III and the AM Gunner unit, piloted by Rio Mei Long. Later on, he was also the test pilot for the Boxer module-equipped MK III.

In Super Robot Wars Original Generation: The Animation, Ryoto serves as an engineer/mechanic aboard the Hagane, tasked to analyze a captured Bartoll unit, after the ATX Team's second encounter with the enemy.
