I-Pin : I-Pin has a crush on Hibari at first sight due to his resemblance to her teacher, Fon. Hibari seems to have developed a soft spot for I-Pin after she gave her a valentine chocolate, which he accepted with a small smile. He restrained himself from taking money from Tsuna upon seeing I-Pin's worried expression. In the PlayStation 2 game Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Let's Assassinated? Hit Guide for the Tenth Event Targeted, the player can pretend to be I-Pin to, among other things, talk to Kyoya to gain points. In one version of the dialogue, I-Pin tells him that she is interested in him, which is why she is stalking him. In response, Hibari replies, "If that's true, I'm flattered." Also, in one possible dialogue version, the fake I-Pin can ask Hibari to go on a walk with Kyoya to gather information about him. Eventually, another character arrives and jokes that Kyoya is popular and seems to be on a date with I-Pin, which is quite unexpected. In the Tail in Love novel, I-pin secretly comes to see Hibari Kyouya, unintentionally leaving chaos in her wake due to her lovestruck Explosion Mode. Even though Hibari does not know who the killer is, he is impressed by her skills and is extremely excited, even trying to force information out of Reborn through threats, showing his indirect respect for I-Pin's skills.

Fon : Hibari and Fon are related to each other, though the details of their connection have yet to be revealed, and Hibari dislikes it if Fon or anyone else to talk of their relation. However, as Hibari represented Fon in the Arcobaleno battles in return Fon would fight him afterward, this shows that Hibari acknowledges Fon's strength the same way he acknowledge Reborn. And the two were shown to be comfortable with each other, with Hibari not minding Fon sitting on his head. Similarly, Fon is confident with Hibari's strength as he doesn't mind following Hibari's request with having only him alone as his representative. Even so, this doesn't stop Fon from being concerned for Hibari's well-being, as he's reluctant to let Hibari fight the Varia by himself and chose to assist him. Even when Hibari destroyed his own Boss Watch that resulted with Fon being disqualified, Fon was not angry at Hibari and accepted his decision.

Dino : Dino is Hibari's home-tutor during the Ring Battles with the Varia; however, Hibari doesn't see him as his teacher and doesn't care about it, only wanting to bite him to death. Dino sees him as his student and acknowledges his skills when he trains him, but more than often exasperated to train his new pupil since Hibari has no interest in listening to him. Though at first very hard to do so, Dino gradually learned how to persuade Hibari into listening and even convince him. Dino thinks of him as a reliable Guardian for Tsuna.

Hibari tells Dino that one of the reasons he joined Team Fon was to bite him to death. Upon Fon asking the reason why, Hibari reveals that Dino was the first person to ever want to be his mentor (at Reborn's request), stating that he has no need for such a thing, and so he wants to win against Dino to prove that he doesn't need him. However, once in a while, Hibari will take what Dino says into account and acknowledged the truth in his words, albeit begrudgingly. Sometimes Hibari's uncooperative nature causes Dino to accuse him of childish behavior.

Ryohei Sasagawa : Both of them are the two oldest Guardians. Ryohei acknowledges Hibari's power and had already visited his house several times to challenge him but was always beaten by him (according to the art book). On the other hand, Hibari only sees him as a "noisy animal" and treats him like he did to others. Sometimes their thoughts clash and create arguments about minor things, which ends up with Ryohei challenging him to fight. In the Primo Family Arc, Ryohei is the only one who manages to convince Hibari to take the trial. This makes Ryohei the second person to be able to convince Hibari on something, after Dino. Ryohei is also the only person who makes an effort to befriend him, much to the shock of others. During the battle between Ryohei and Kikyo in the future, Kikyo asks Hibari why he was just watching instead of helping Ryohei, where he replies that Ryohei will interrupt council meetings if he gets involved in their fight, however, as Kikyo says that was a nice show of friendship, this may have been an indirect way for Hibari to say he has faith in Ryohei's abilities. Ryohei's efforts have not been in vain, and their future selves seem to have a much better relationship and have developed some mutual respect, though still prone to fights for even trivial things as Hibari still hates crowding.

Tsunayoshi Sawada : Hibari commented that he can't understand Tsuna because Tsuna's weak sometimes and strong sometimes (Dying Will Mode). Unlike most other Guardians, Hibari has no respect for Tsuna, and doesn't hesitate to attack him, just as he refuses to accept any of his requests. However, Future Hibari seems to have already recognized Tsuna as his boss because alongside Irie, Hibari was the only one who knew about Future Tsuna's plan to bring their younger versions of the past into the future. This shows that their relationship has improved a lot, most likely due to Tsuna having grown strong enough to be a worthy opponent for him.

Though Hibari presently still reluctant in affiliating with Tsuna and his friends, Hibari seems to at least have acknowledged the potential that Tsuna has. When Tsuna lost his will to fight and got depressed during Inheritance Ceremony Arc, Hibari told Tsuna to watch his fight as a way to encourage him. He declared to Adelheid that "it is the sky that allows the cloud to move freely" and that "he will one day bite the sky", showing that he has a desire to fight Tsuna and who may even have developed a certain level of respect for him. He sometimes addresses Tsuna as "small animal", but considering Hibari's love for small animals and liking Tsuna's determination, this way of calling him may actually be a compliment on Hibari's part, implying that Hibari doesn't hate him and that he's acknowledging him.

The greatest sign of Hibari acknowledging Tsuna, potentially even respecting him, is when during the Curse of the Rainbow arc, Hibari willingly stopped his fight against Dino when Tsuna showed how serious he was, present when Tsuna gathered all the Allied Teams, and went as far as protecting him against Jaeger, a feat that is very rare, especially as Hibari dislike crowding and fighting together with someone else.

Mukuro Rokudo : Mukuro is one of a few people in the series whose strength Hibari acknowledged and is considered a worthy opponent. Hibari displays bitter resentment and rivalry towards Mukuro due to humiliation over his defeat. As such, Hibari appears to have developed an obsession to defeat Mukuro and from this, a hate for all illusionists. One of the reasons he dislike cherry blossoms most likely also because it reminds him of his defeat by Mukuro's hands, who used it against Hibari when he still suffered Sakura-kura disease. Even the mere mention of Mukuro's name is enough to irritate him. Reborn is even able to quell Hibari's rage by using the possibility of him fighting Mukuro again. Mukuro himself seems to have some interest in Hibari after their first fight, admitting of enjoying his fight against the Cloud Guardian. He even greeted him before the Mist Ring Battle and has his subordinates Ken, Chikusa, and Chrome to watch his match against Gola Moska. In the future, they still continue with this rivalry and have yet to finish (since Mukuro is still imprisoned). However, they seem at least, to have a respect towards each other, Mukuro even sent a map of Merone Base to Hibari when he disguised himself as Byakuran's subordinate. Ironically, despite their bad relationship, both are totally in sync when fighting together as pointed by Reborn.

Tetsuya Kusakabe : He is Hibari's right-hand man since they were pre-school. Kusakabe highly respects Hibari and is very loyal towards him, he would diligently carry out his order whatever it would be without further question. He would always follow him everywhere to watch over him and make sure he won't do anything reckless, though sometimes this ends up with him being beaten by the latter. Hibari shows little care for Kusakabe's well-being, punishing him whenever he fails his duty as disciplinary committee despite Kusakabe already being injured and treat him indifferently as he does to others. However, they are shown to have a closer relationship in the future, as Kusakabe addresses Hibari by the nickname 'Kyo-san' and Hibari addresses Kusakabe with the nickname 'Tetsu'. Hibari also trusts him enough to follow his advise in using his Vongola Ring and Box Weapon, and doesn't mind his company when Kusakabe follows him.

When Ryohei first met Hibari, he initially mistook Hibari as an ordinary student while thinking that Kusakabe the rumored Hibari. Ryohei then always went to the school rooftop to accompany Hibari, assuming that Hibari might be lonely, and tried to befriend him, much to Hibari's annoyance. When Ryohei was beaten up right before the boxing tournament against Nobuyuki Middle School, Ryohei finally found out that Kusakabe is not the real Hibari. Hibari was present at the arena after Kyoko asked him to help them win the boxing match. He fulfilled Kyoko's request under one condition: after the tournament is over, Ryohei must never ask Hibari to join the boxing club. Ryohei agreed, and this explains why Ryohei has never asked Hibari to join the boxing club despite Hibari's reputation and strength.

Hibari has a past that's never brought up and mostly shrouded in mystery. He lives in an enormous traditional Japanese mansion with decorative structures similar to the bases in the Future Arc. Takeshi Yamamoto has heard rumors that Hibari's parents are from prominent families, but is unsure whether the rumors are true or not. It is implied that the rumour is most likely true as Hibari is shown to have enough influence to freely pick whichever year he choose at school, controlling Namimori Hospital to the point the director of the said hospital would turn blind eye to any violence Hibari did to other patients, and he and his disciplinary committee is feared enough by the neighbours during festival seasons.

Ever since he was kindergarten, Hibari is already fixated with disciplinary activities together with Tetsuya Kusakabe as his right-handman. At some point, Hibari entered Namimori Junior High and became the leader of the Disciplinary Committee. It's unknown when this happened, with Ryohei Sasagawa admitting that Hibari was already the chairman of the Disciplinary Committee since he first entered the school. Hibari has even mentioned to Tsunayoshi Sawada that he always picks whatever year he wants, making it hard to tell whether or not he truly is still a junior high student.

Hibari reveals himself as the person who's using the reception room disciplinary committee and intimidates other committees that oppose him, unaware that an intrigued Reborn is watching him from a distance. When Reborn decides to use the reception room as a family hideout, Hibari is already inside. He promises to not let them leave unscratched for entering and Gokudera's smoking, then goes on to express his dislike towards weaklings and desire to beat them up.

Tsuna becomes Hibari's first victim, much to the anger of Hayato and Takeshi who make a failed attempt to defend themselves from Hibari. Reborn shoots Tsuna with a Dying Will Bullet, in order to help Tsuna face off against Hibari, but Hibari turns out to be stronger than most opponents Tsuna has previously faced. Tsuna does manage to hit Hibari with a slipper after getting shot with the Bullet, but the fight is quickly stopped by Reborn. Hibari is still in a bad mood and attempts to fight Reborn, who uses a bomb to make an escape. Sometime later, Hibari hopes to see Reborn once again, believing that he isn't a weakling.

In spring, Tsuna and his friends wished to have a hanami, but Hibari intended to use the place for his Disciplinary Committee. They settled things with a battle. The rule is that the one who get his knees on the ground first must concede the spot to the victor. At first, Hibari seemed to be in advantage, defeating Gokudera and Yamamoto. However, Dr. Shamal gave Hibari the sakura-kura virus, causing him to be paralyzed if he's near cherry blossoms. This forced Hibari to retreat, allowing Tsuna's Family to view the cherry blossoms in peace.

Kyoya contains the characters "恭" (kyō?, modest) and "弥" (ya?, progress). Hibari is the Japanese term for Alauda (skylarks), a species of perching birds. It also contains the character "雲" (kumo?, cloud), reflecting his flame attribute and role as Cloud Guardian. A common shorthand of his name is "18", a combination of "hi" (一?, one) and "ha or ba" (八?, eight). Hibari was featured on the cover of Volume 18, same as his shorthand.

Tonfas : Hibari's main weapon for combat is a pair of tonfas. It is revealed that they hold hidden compartments. The ends of the tonfas can release flails and the sides contain spikes and hooks.

Porcospino Nuvola : Hibari's Box Weapon, nicknamed as Roll. It is a small purple hedgehog with silver spikes. Hibari uses his hedgehogs when he fights opponents he deems as weak. With Cloud Flame's Propagation characteristic, Roll is able to multiply in number and grow to large proportions.

Porcospino Nuvola ver. Vongola : Hibari's original Cloud Hedgehog Roll is later integrated into his Vongola Box. It now appears as a Hedgehog with larger, but fewer, spikes than the other Cloud Hedgehogs.

Alaudi's Handcuffs : Roll's Cambio Forma takes the form of a pair of spiked black handcuffs. He can multiply the number of handcuffs by using the Cloud Flame's Propagation characteristic.

Cloud Vongola Ring : Won after the Vongola Ring Conflict against the Varia. Hibari wears the Ring on his right hand. He is able to open Cloud-attribute Box Weapons.

Bracelet of the Cloud Version X : The upgraded Vongola Cloud Ring, combined with Hibari's Vongola Box animal Roll. In battle, Roll now has jewels on both his forehead and chest. He is now capable of merging directly with Hibari for his Cambio Forma.

Cloud Flame Radar: Hibari uses his Ring's Flames as a radar by thinly spreading the Flame over a wide area and using the vibrations to detect anything that enters the area. This allows him to counter illusions by using it to sense where the actual object is, as seen in his battle against Genkishi's Spettro Nudibranchi.

Hibari's reputation as a frightening individual definitely precedes him, earning the respect and fear of many people, both present and future. He is the strongest of the tenth generation Vongola Guardians and has hardly ever lost a fight in the series. In the times he faced against Gokudera and Yamamoto, he easily defeated them in their first initial encounters. Afterward, they grew strong enough to give him a challenge, but still not enough to excite him, as the only ones that could do that were Reborn and Future Tsuna.

One of the most terrifying traits of Hibari is his immense resilience and endurance. He is still able to fight despite having several broken bones and even capable of resisting Death Heather poison that was capable of stopping elephants from moving. Later on, Hibari has become very adept at using Rings, although he usually shatters them after one use, due to the intensity of his flames. Hibari is capable of emitting massive Dying Will Flames with the Cloud Vongola Ring. The massive flame overloaded his Box Weapon to the point it made the Porcospino Nuvola drunk from the flames, causing it to go out of control.

Learning from his defeat against Mukuro along with his hatred against all illusionist from it, Hibari has learned various ways to fight against enemies who uses illusions. He is also became perceptive enough not to be easily deceived by illusions of Mukuro, Mammon, and Fran's level.

Future Hibari is shown to be calmer and more observant about his opponents. His desire to be alone and attack people that annoy him still remains, though his actions are shown with more thought. He grew more tolerant of other people's presence as long as they're not bothering him for an extended period of time. Future Hibari is also seen being more respectful to Future Tsuna, showing that he has accepted him as his boss, as seen in one of the flashbacks of Shoichi Irie. He also developed hatred for illusionists due to his previous defeat at Mukuro's hands, and so would be more than eager to defeat any illusionist he encounters even though he has no personal grudge against them.

A rare trait about him is his love for small animals, ranging from birds to hedgehogs. He is also shown to have a soft spot for I-Pin, having accepted her Valentine's Day chocolates with a smile and not taking money from Tsuna at a festival upon seeing I-Pin worried. And despite his refusal to consider Tsuna and his friends as his comrades, he had saved them on several occasions when they are in mortal danger, albeit distantly. Also, during Curse of the Rainbow arc, Hibari stated that Reborn's team was full of people he wanted to fight, which can demonstrate that he is starting to develop a certain level of respect for them. Although Hibari appears to take little or no care for the well-being of others, Hibari is not heartless enough to sacrifice someone's life to fulfil his own ego, as shown when he didn't try to destroy Chrome's Cortina Nebbia after Demon Spade revealed that she'll die if the barrier is broken, however, in the novel "Gokudera's Worst Day Ever", he was ready to leave after the ceiling collapsed, leaving Hayato behind. Although it is implied that he knew Hayato could save himself without help anyway.

A lone wolf by nature, Hibari prefers to be alone and hates crowding. This leads him to beat anyone who he thinks is crowding around him too much. Hibari dislikes working together with anybody due to feeling indebted and restrained. When he is helped or saved by others, he strives to pay back the debt he owes as soon as possible. He cannot stand being restrained and absolutely refuses to allow himself to be controlled. Hibari's hatred of being controlled is so great that this alone made him overcome the effects of a poison that would kill even a wild elephant during the Battle of Sky. Reborn has already stated that it is this indomitable and solitary nature of Hibari that makes him perfect for the rank of Cloud Guardian, as this is the Guardian who protects and serves the family distantly and independently while going his own way unhindered. For this same reason, he also refuses to follow order or direction from someone else unless there's absolutely no choice or begrudgingly acknowledged the truth in the advice given to him.

As stated by others, Hibari is a scary character with little to no care for the well-being of others, preferring to do whatever it takes to get what he wants. He is fond of battling strong opponents, giving others the impression that he is a battle maniac. He has full confidence in his own strength and power. This often leads to his opponents surprising him, as he doesn't think before attacking. Once he is set on fighting, it's hard to persuade him otherwise. The only time he'd stop from fighting other than through persuasion is when he is around cherry blossoms. Due to a previous infection with the sakura-kura disease (which was later cured), he feels uneasy whenever around cherry blossoms to the point of losing his will to fight and even refuses to even talk about it when Haru bring it up as a subject in Haru-Haru Interview.

Another one of Hibari's most defining trait is his deep loyalty to his school and its rules. As the head of Namimori Middle's Disciplinary Committee, Hibari uses authority to assault those that get on his nerves, including his own subordinates. He'd be going so far as to punish others for breaking the rules even if they aren't students or at the school, such as Genkishi. His love for the school prompted him to use his authority to stay in the school rather than graduate so he can stay as the head of the disciplinary committee and even used its anthem as his ringtone and personally taught all his Hibirds on how to sing it.

Hibari is a young man with an average height and short black hair with a fringe that joins at the center of his face. He has narrow dark eyes, often intimidating those who see them. He bears a striking resemblance to the first generation Cloud Guardian, Alaudi, as well as the Arcobaleno, Fon.

Hibari's most common outfit is his Disciplinary Committee uniform. He wears a white long-sleeved shirt, black pants, black shoes, and a black gakuran top worn on his shoulders, with the committee's armband pinned on the top's left sleeve. He also wears the standard Namimori Middle School summer uniform, along with the armband. During the Varia Arc, Hibari wears the winter uniform, also with the armband. In very early artwork, he wears a chain on his belt.

After gaining the Cloud Vongola Ring, Hibari wears it on his right middle finger. He wears the Bracelet of the Cloud Version X on his left wrist.

Ten-years-later Hibari has changed to wearing a simple black suit, with a purple shirt and black necktie. His hair is also shorter, having been cut to appear messier, and with hardly any fringe. When not training or fighting, he would wear a black kinagashi.
