Ibuki Hinata

Ibuki is Uicchi Nakatsugawa's best friend, and another main character in A Bridge To The Starry Skies.

Ibuki is first seen when Kazuma Hoshino slips and falls into Ui in the mountains and accidentally kisses her. Ibuki shows up and sees, then spreads the rumour around the school. This causes a sometimes tricky relationship between Kazuma and Ibuki, but they work it out eventually.

Personality
Ibuki is often quiet but very strong physically and mentally. She is in the archery club and her grades are high, and she is protective of her best friend Ui. She is easily disturbed (like when Kazuma told her sharing a bottle would be like an indirect kiss) and often reacts by kicking or other physical pain-inflicting moves.

Voice Actor
In the anime, Ibuki Hinata is played by Ringo Aoba.

Appearance
Ibuki has short white hair and usually wears a black headband which comes out in bows above her ears, with little golden bells. She has dark indigo-grey eyes and is normally in her PE kit or school uniform. On days out, she wears her own t-shirt and skirt.

Family
Mother: Akiko Kawase voices Ibuki's mother in episode 11, but she never shown on screen.

Love
Ibuki does not have a love life in the anime, but in episode 11 after she goes to Honchou with Kazuma she asks him if he wants to just go out. She then claims that she was joking, but she did seem slightly quiet and subdued afterwards.
