Hikari (hee-KAH-ree;[1] Japanese: () () () ) was a kami from Kamigawa, the guardian of the border between day and night.

History[ | ]

Konda sent an army of two hundred men against the kami, at sundown; after the battle with Hikari, only forty-seven were able to retreat to Eiganjo. Konda learned that day to never send his samurai to fight at dusk.[2]

After the routing of the samurai by Hikari, rumors started to spread about the kami who resembled a vast, monstrous samurai. Perhaps it was the spirit of one of Konda's own samurai buke, the nobles, seeking revenge for dishonor. Perhaps the kami took the form of a samurai only to mock Konda. Others even believed that Hikari was the kami of Konda's sanity, flickering in and out of the material world.[2]
