Hi. Hikaru reads Shounen Jump, circa 2002. Which means that he has the possibility of recognizing Naruto and One Piece people, and probably more than that but I'm not exactly good at knowing what was in Jump five years ago. On top of this I'm sure he likes anime and other manga fine, too.

THAT BEING SAID this is one of those "are you okay with being recognized" things... because Hikaru would totally call you on it. He's like that. He is going to fanboy half of you. ♥ Sooo yeah. A "yes" or "no" is enough, or if you want to give me specifics that's all good too.
