Hikari Ishida was born on May 25, 1972 in Tokyo, Japan. She is the third child of her family; her brother is three years older and her sister, Yuriko Ishida, is two years older. As a toddler, her family nicknamed her "Pika", which her long-time friends continued to call her as a teenager. Due to her father's job, Ishida's family relocated to Taiwan, where she finished the last four years of elementary schooling. Ishida learned Mandarin Chinese while in Taiwan but did not retain fluency after she returned to Japan. While in 5th grade, she briefly wanted to become a singer before deciding to pursue acting. She debuted in the entertainment industry in 1986 at the age of 15. While pursuing her postsecondary education, Ishida limited her acting career to one television drama a year while also appearing in commercials and giving magazine interviews. While it provided a break from acting during half the year, she felt it added pressure for the single show to be successful. During her free time, Ishida would frequently play video games like Super Tetris and Tetris 2 + BomBliss as well as games popular at her university, such as Dragon Quest and horse racing games. Prior to her university graduation in the spring of 1995, Kagayaku Toki no Nakade began airing on Fuji TV. The show included much of the production staff from her previous drama, Asunaro Hakusho. She married in 2001 and eventually had two children. Upon going to college in 2024, Ishida's daughter began a part-time job. Ishida also found a part-time job at an acquaintance's restaurant in solidarity. She posted a video on her YouTube channel about the experience, noting that because she had always been working in entertainment at that age, she had never held a part-time job before.
