This is my name, given to me by my father. He meant for me to shine and live up to that meaning. Hikaru means to shine. Therefore since I am a half Japanese and Russian, and I am a Christian Samurai, I will live to shine like my name.

This is in the manga "Bokutachi wa Shitte Shimatta" and in the anime for "Monochrome Factor." Both are males. I like this name a lot XD.

The meaning they have isn't actually correct. The name Hikaru comes from Λ⎠which is the Japanese verb that translates to "to shine".

I love Japanese names and this is a pretty name; the way it sounds, the way it looks and the meaning is so pretty. And yes the singer's given name is Hikaru, but here in America she decided to use her surname Utado to avoid being given the nickname "Hikki". Goodness would you want to avoid that, too? Anyway, it's a cheerful name and definitely not heard of. At least not outside of Japan.

The character was named only Sulu during the course of the original 1966 Star Trek series. Author Vonda McIntyre gave him the name Hikaru in her Star Trek novel "The Entropy Effect" (1981). Other Star Trek novelists followed her lead, but it was not until Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991) that he canonically became Hikaru Sulu. Aside from George Takei, the character also has been portrayed by actor John Cho.

Whether it's "light" or "shining" depends on which kanji you use. And yes, it is both masculine and feminine. [noted -ed]

Utada Hikaru is in the Eastern way of writing names. In America or other places besides Japan, she is called Hikaru Utada. First name: Hikaru, last name: Utada (pronounced as u-ta-da, not yu-ta-da, that's just seriously disturbing).

To Sumomo, who mentioned the singer Utada Hikaru, keep in mind that the Japanese name structure is family name first, given name second. I think Hikaru is the singer's given name.

You said that both Hikari and Hikaru mean light. Hikaru is more accurately "shining", and Hikari is light. :)
