Imai, Hotaru
今井 蛍
Hotaru is Mikan's best friend and the primary reason Mikan came to the academy. Their relationship appears doubtful and strange. Hotaru comes across as cold, quiet, geeky, and foul-mouthed, yet calm. Her "stupid" traits include her tendency to act like a "pig" regarding food and her greedy side, which manifests in a comical way. Her Alice is Invention, allowing her to create unique and strange inventions.
She belongs to the Technical Class. She is currently a Triple Star.
Her name "蛍 - Hotaru" means "Firefly."
Spoiler
After Mikan wasn't able to save collapsed Natsume with her fading alice, Hotaru joined her brother and Nodacchi on their mission to find a way to save Natsume. Before departing she promises Mikan that she will be able to see her 'most important person' again. Then they travel back in time to the moment right after Natsume has lost consciousness. Despite Nodacchi's earlier warnings not to disrupt spacetime even further, which can cause unexpected events, Hotaru tries to save Natsume, but her brother stops her and heals him with his alice. Knowing the risk of changing the past they have no choice but to wait for their 'punishment'. Still Hotaru pleads to Noda to let her say farewell to Mikan before she leaves Academy and has her memories erased. After their meeting, Hotaru returns to spacetime without explaining Mikan anything and begging her in thoughts not to completely forget her if possible. As Noda and Natsume are about to go back to the present, Hotaru and Subaru are pulled deep into spacetime and disappear.
After four years Hotaru and her brother are still trapped in spacetime, but are able to communicate with others through mushroom earphones. After regaining her memories, Mikan, Natsume and Ruka are ready for a quest to find and bring Hotaru back.
