Hikaru: Name above all names
Discover Hikaru
Hikaru is an anime-inspired adventure story that helps young people explore the Christian faith through imagination, friendship and discovery.
Written for young readers, the story follows Hikaru and his friends through a world filled with mystery, danger, courage and hope. As the adventure unfolds, young people are invited to think more deeply about identity, purpose, sacrifice and the message of Jesus.
Hikaru can be used in a range of settings. Schools can book creative education workshops that support RE learning through storytelling, character and discussion. Youth leaders can access a 12-week teaching course designed to help groups explore the themes of the story together. Families, churches and retailers can also order copies of the book for young people to read, share and enjoy.

There’s a legend in the Eternal Dimension about a King.
One who will rule all the dimensions, bringing them together into one perfect place for everyone to live. It’s said the King of the Eternal Dimension will be called the “name above all names.” No-one knows where this legend came from, but many have theories and tell stories of ancient magic and wisdom.
Some say the legend was passed through the royal family line to Kana, Hikaru and Seirei. Of course, some think it was all made up and passed around in campfire stories. Still others tell of a far stranger tale.
To the warriors who serve Kana, Hikaru and Seirei, the legend is a fun pastime, a spooky story to tell at night around a fire; but Kana and her siblings know the truth. They don’t talk about it openly, but the siblings hear the words clearly. Sometimes to them it sounds like a call to action, but often it feels like a warning; like a darkness calling them out, taunting them to war.
