Hikaru Agata (アガタ ヒカル Agata Hikaru) is a major character within the Medarot series who first debuted as the player character in Medarot 1. He has the nickname Henry in English-translated Medabots media.
In the games
In Medarot 1
Hikaru is the protagonist of Medarot 1. His adventure begins when his dog Bonaparte finds a Medal in the local park, and shortly thereafter he receives a matching Medarot starter kit from his dad - a Metal Beetle for a Kabuto Medal or a Head Scissors for a Kuwagata Medal, respectively. Thus begins an adventure that takes him near two girls vying for his attention, the spicy tomboy Kirara and Doctor Aki's homey granddaughter Nae, and ending with him facing down the dangerous weapon Medarot, Beast Master.
In Medarot 2 and 2 Core
While the title of main character has passed to Ikki Tenryou, the older Hikaru still plays an important role - in fact, he now plays two roles. By night he assumes a new identity: the Phantom Retort (a.k.a. the Phantom Renegade), a mysterious masked man who battles the Roborobo Gang by delivering unto Ikki the resources he needs to come out ahead.
By day, however, Hikaru works part time at the 24 Hop Mart, giving advice to Ikki and even selling him a brand-new Metabee or Rokusho... not realizing he'd taken the boy's dinner money in the process of secretly fulfilling Doctor Aki's mission to start Ikki on his way. When not at work Hikaru studies for college, plays with his Medarots and generally tries not to wreck his love life with Kirara.
In Medarotter Rintarou! and Medarot R
Hikaru appears during the postgame. He is one of the last legacy characters to be recruited into Kasumi's party and, after all this time, still uses Metal Beetle or Head Scissors as his Leader.
In the Anime
In the anime, Hikaru plays a similar role to his game counterpart in Medarot 2 and Medarot 2 Core, working at the 24 Hop Mart in the day and battling the Roborobo Gang as the Phantom Retort at night for Dr. Aki, though in the anime, he is known to also steal Rare Medals from locations such as the Medarot Museum. Hikaru initially was a Medarotter that Robottled alongside his original Metal Beetle, but during the World Robottle Tournament that happened before the events of the anime, his Metabee had become the catalyst for the Ten Days of Darkness, Hikaru needing ten days to steel his resolve in order to destroy his Metabee's Rare Medal in order to stop the rampaging Medarots. After the destruction of his Metal Beetle's medal, he would try to restore the Medal, creating Arcbeetle's Medal from the remains, though his original Metal Beetle would be gone.
He would assume a third identity in the anime, Space Medarotter X, in order to continue Robottling with Arcbeetle, though primarily would utilize his Phantom Retort identity when supporting Ikki and his friends.
After the defeat of Dr. Meta-Evil by the hands of Ikki and Metabee, Hikaru would leave the 24 Hop Mart and the town, driving off with his Arcbeetle after his identity as Space Medarotter X was ousted as being the same entity as the Phantom Retort.
