Rick Hunter 
Japanese name: Hikaru Ichijo 
American voice actor: Tony Oliver 

As a young boy, Rick Hunter grew up in his dad's flying circus, which is where he learned to fly. At the flying circus he also gets to meet a very good pilot, by the name of Roy Fokker, who would be like a big brother to Rick. Because of Roy, Rick would join the Robotech Defense Force; at first he's a very arrogant young pilot but eventually would grow up and become a great leader and skilled veteran pilot. At the start of the series Rick falls for a young girl, Lynn Minmei; but as time would past, he falls in love with his own commander, Lisa Hayes. This is not apparent early on, since Rick and Lisa fight like cats & dogs, but that slowly changes as they become good friends and then fall in love with each other. As a skilled pilot, Rick would eventually become leader of the "Skull Squadron" after Roy Fokker's death, which is a great loss to Rick. At the end of the first Robotech War, Rick is promoted to Admiral and begins to assemble the Robotech Expeditionary Force, which is to goto Tirol, to meet the Robotech Masters. The day before the launch of the REF, Rick and Lisa get married. Rick and the rest of the REF disappear in the final episodes of the third series.
