Hibiki Toudou is the cool-type member of the boy-band group, Callings. Although he is admired by many as a genius, he in fact practices extra alone in his secret place in order to improve himself. This fact is a secret shared only with Rizumu, who he holds feelings for, and later marries. He is Kanon Toudou's elder brother, and is often the object of rivalry between Kanon and Rizumu because of that. He is part of the idol group Callings together with Sho and Wataru.

Role in the Plot

Hibiki at around age 16 in "Aurora Dream".

In the beginning, Hibiki only showed up when Callings was around, but ever since he got to know Rizumu, he appeared many times to flirt with her, making her blush every time. His role got more important when it was revealed that he is the older brother of Kanon Toudou, a rival of MARs. He remained loyal to Rizumu, despite Kanon scaring him all the time. He became a source of advice for Rizumu, very much like the relationship Aira and Shou share. They became so friendly with each other to the point were they were basically boyfriend and girlfriend by the end of Aurora Dream. They are still in love with each other 3 years later in Dear My Future.

Rizumu, and she is in love with him. He first appeared in Rizumu's Prism Act, getting married to her (speaking with a Kansai dialect), but meets the other members of Prizmmy☆ later and blushes when she talks to him. It is later revealed that he and Rizumu have been married for an entire year and a half, and have been living separately without telling the fans in order to not anger them. When they married 1 1/2 years previous, he immediately told Kanon, his sister who he cares for deeply.

In Episode 28, Hibiki, along with Rizumu requested permission from Kyoko to officially reveal their marriage to the public, only for the latter to reject it due to her believing that it still wasn't the appropriate time to be doing so. After the rest of MAR's and the Callings arrived to show their support, Kyoko eventually relented and gave them the green light to do so.

Etymology

Hibiki's given name literally means "echo." When his name is put together with the other two members of Callings, their names literally mean, "An echoing show." His surname means "Wisteria hall."
