Hilary Tachibana is a fictional character in the popular Beyblade anime and manga series. Her original Japanese name is Hiromi Tachibana (立花 ヒロミ, Tachibana Hiromi^?). She only appears in the anime, and not in the manga. She does not appear in the first season.

Hilary makes her first appearance in Beyblade V-Force as the "Wicked Witch of the Eighth Grade" (Tyson's exact words describing her). The first impression we get from her is that she is a bossy class president, but in later episodes we watch her become a loyal, caring friend who will stop at nothing to help her friends.

The Bladebreakers first expressed their opinion of her as an annoying pain in the neck as she tries to fit in with the team. Kai accepted the idea of her being on the team when she proved her worth with an effective training schedule. Hilary became a new addition to their team as the new training "coach." For a period of time, she was unable to see bit-beasts. This was one of the reasons she wanted to join the team.

As the new addition to the team, she uses her head to figure out problems to help out the Bladebreakers. She is usually the comic relief throughout the series. Even though she is sometimes disliked in the Beyblade fandom, there are some good sides to her. In the later episodes, her commitment to the Bladebreakers becomes stronger as we watch her get closer with the team. Though she still has arguments with Tyson, she quickly became good friends with the whole team, as well as receiving a better understanding in the world of Beyblading.

Hilary comes back, as still an official member of the Bladebreakers. Funnier than ever, Hilary is though proved to be a bit more violent than the last season and at the same time, reveals more of her feminine side to the team. Added to that, she is likely the same when it comes between her and Tyson: brother and sister relationship though some people may not agree to this and take this as a romantic relationship. This couple has not been said to be official.

She is now part of the beyblading team called the BBA Revolution, together with Kenny and Daichi, the new team member. They all are Tyson's friends. She is the assistant coach/manager while Hiro is the team's coach/manager. Kai left the team, which upset everyone including Hilary herself. As the championship goes, Hilary continuously looks for Kai who left the team. When at the finals between the Blitzkrieg Boys and the BBA Revolution, she didn't know which team to cheer for but ended up cheering for her own.

After a few weeks the BEGA appeared and demolished the whole BBA company and the building, putting the sport of beyblading in a different playing field. The whole team is forced out from buying beyblade parts from shops since each shop required a BEGA identification card, another one of Boris's schemes to force Tyson out of beyblading unless Tyson joins the BEGA League, like Kai already has, and throws in the towel on the Justice 5 Match. Hilary tried, but failed to buy any parts. She lends out a hand to help the team build their own beyblading parts as the BEGA team gets ready for them. In the middle of the Justice 5 Match, Kai comes back as the fifth member of the G-Revolution. After the last battle between Brooklyn and Kai, Hilary and the rest of the team worries for his sake.

Later, after the BBA was saved, Hilary looks for Kai and Tyson, as always, and finds them both about to start a Beybattle, the denouement of the final chapter of Beyblade G-Revolution.
