Biography
Hikaru Tono, a native of Tokyo, was born on 5 March 1996.

In May 2021, she was cast as Eno in I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level. In November 2021, she was cast as Satina in Life with an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout. In January 2022, she was cast as Sura in My Isekai Life. In March 2022, she was cast as Suzuran in In the Heart of Kunoichi Tsubaki. In August 2023, she was cast as Yuki in The Kingdoms of Ruin.
