==Biography==
==Biography==
===''Iroquois'' and Sigma Octanus ===
=== Early Career ===
In [[2552]], [[Lieutenant]] Hikowa was weapons officer aboard the {{UNSCShip|Iroquois}} under [[Commander (UNSC)|Commander]] [[Jacob Keyes]]. She was a first-rate tactical officer<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 8''</ref> and had survived several battles with the [[Covenant]] prior to serving under Keyes, but she seemed to have all the deliberation of a sleepwalker. However, after the victory at the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]] she was markedly more enthusiastic about her job, and proved to be a useful officer.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 213''</ref>

===''Pillar of Autumn''===
Hikowa transferred to the recently promoted [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] Keyes' next command ship, the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. She met Keyes upon his first arrival on the ship and gave him a rundown of the ordnance aboard the ''Autumn''.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''pages 272-275''</ref> She resumed her role as tactical officer during the Fall of Reach. At the Battle of Installation 04, she escaped the ''Autumn'' aboard the same Bumblebee escape pod as Keyes, with the rest of the bridge crew, and the Marines assigned to guard it.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 44''</ref> She remained immobile and expressionless when the corpse of [[Isna 'Nosolee]] floated towards her after Keyes shot it; she merely brushed it away.
 
On Installation 04, the Covenant started to hunt them; because they were wanted alive (at least until the leading officer could be identified), the small group managed to inflict heavy damage on the Covenant, who were under orders not to harm them. Ultimately, she was captured by the Covenant with Keyes when the group was betrayed by [[Ensign]] [[Ellen Dowski]] who led a group of Covenant to them, not knowing that they would not take prisoners. Hikowa was about to confront the [[Treason|traitor]] Dowski when one of the [[Sangheili|Elites]] killed her by shooting her in the forehead with a [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|Plasma Pistol]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''pages 87-88''</ref>
 
==Trivia==
Aki means "Autumn" or "Bright" in Japanese.
