Hikaru Morita

Morita Hikaru is the first center for Sakurazaka46 since its renaming from Keyakizaka46. Hikaru, who is known for being the shortest member in Sakurazaka46, is also very talented in drawing. She has accepted drawing requests from fans before through mobame (mobile mail app) and has displayed her skills in drawing Pokemon and other anime characters. She likes anime in general, citing "Fairy Tail" to be her top favorite series.

Hikaru is a big animal lover-- she likes all type of animals and will often visit the zoo and aquarium by herself. She will often purchase stuffed animals whenever she visits those aforementioned places and has since collected a large collection of them, showing them off on TV. Hikaru is also quite giggly, and on one occasion she laughed at herself for saying the wrong word and took a good while to settle down.
