About Hikaru Awata
Hikaru Awata made the 7,000-mile leap from Hachioji, Japan to Fort Walton Beach for his FCP year — the kind of international bet that only pays off when the program on the other end is actually built for it. After a post-graduate season at Florida Coastal Prep and a stretch with GXA International, the explosive Japanese guard committed to Troy University in the Sun Belt Conference, one of the most competitive mid-major D1 leagues in the country. He is Troy's first Japanese scholarship player in modern program history.

Hikaru Awata trained at Florida Coastal Prep in Fort Walton Beach, FL during the 2024-25 season. Under the guidance of Director Lee DeForest and NBA All-Star Kenny Anderson, Hikaru Awata developed the skills and earned the exposure needed to compete at the D1 level.
