Popular YouTuber Hikaru and his girlfriend, former idol hopeful Kagura Kato, sat down for a joint interview on comedian Kajiwara Yuta’s YouTube channel, offering fans a rare look at their relationship. In the video, posted on July 13, 2026, Kato said she is “super happy” with Hikaru, while also revealing an unexpectedly bashful side to the usually brash YouTuber.
The video, hosted by Kajiwara (known as Kajisack) alongside his wife Yomesack, featured Hikaru and Kato as guests. Hikaru shared that he currently lives with Kato and her child, Haku, from a previous relationship, and the pair have often shown themselves spending time together as a family online.
During the conversation, Hikaru admitted that when he and Kato are out together, younger women sometimes recognize only her, treating him as an afterthought. “They tell me I’m just a bonus,” he joked, adding that he feels the shift is simply part of getting older. Kajiwara related to the experience, noting that his own daughter, Kanato, gets recognized the same way by strangers.
Kato also revealed that she likes to hold hands in public, which she said embarrasses Hikaru. “He’s actually super shy,” she said, prompting laughter from Kajiwara and Yomesack. When Kajiwara asked Kato directly if she was happy, she answered enthusiastically, “I’m super happy,” while Hikaru gave a more reserved “Yeah, I guess so,” leading Kato to tease him for blushing on camera. Kajiwara remarked that Hikaru seemed to be “becoming more human,” crediting Kato with the change.
