Lt. Hikaru Sulu

Hikaru Sulu serves as helmsman aboard the USS Enterprise, piloting the iconic starship under Captain Kirk alongside crew members Spock, McCoy, Uhura, and Scotty. A Starfleet lieutenant, he first appeared in comics in the 1996 Star Trek/X-Men crossover event.

Helmsman of the legendary Enterprise, Lt. Hikaru Sulu made his comics debut in the 1996 crossover event Star Trek / X-Men #1 — a quintessentially Copper/Modern Age splash that brought the beloved Star Trek crew into four-color glory courtesy of Scott Lobdell, Marc Silvestri, and Billy Tan. Across a publishing run stretching into 2022 under IDW, Sulu keeps distinguished company indeed, sharing adventures with Captain Kirk, Commander Spock, Dr. McCoy, Uhura, and Scotty — the full constellation of Trek icons. His most notable IDW appearances include Star Trek: Year Five and the landmark Star Trek #400, making him a familiar face for fans who love seeing the classic crew rendered with modern comics craft. A small but satisfying catalog presence for any Trek devotee building out their IDW collection.
