On the inspiration behind her popular Children of This Planet series, Hikari shares:

"I believe that the sex and identity of children are ambiguous; a child is not borne into his or her personality, and his existence is full of possibilities. Those vacant children are, so to speak, “cups of my emotions”- something which I could pour my emotion into. Their sparkling eyes are staring into space, while reflecting both light and darkness. Children in this series have horns on their forehead. Those horns are a metaphor of wordless emotions like fury and despair that people feel towards unreasonable things in this world."
