Possible hoax. I found no Google hits for this character other than Wikipedia. The character also isn't listed at the lists of characters on Anime News Network or MyAnimeList [1][2], and doesn't seem to be mentioned in the Reborn wiki [3], which are all sites I would think would mention a character from Reborn!.

Merge, obviously, if it proves to be not a hoax. However, trying out my brandnew custom search engine with that name (http://www.google.com/ cse?cx=009114923999563836576%3A1eorkzz2gp4&q=Haya+Hisayo) I didn't find any hits either, which makes me suspicious that it is as you say. In which case, this deserves a speedy delete. --Gwern (contribs) 00:50 17 January 2010 (GMT)

Speedy Delete per G3, the character does not exist, no hits on google. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:15, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:HOAX, WP:V, and WP:RS. The article claims that this character is well known, but it gets zero hits on Google, let alone in any reliable sources found on Google News, Google Books, etc. Is it a misspelling? Sincerely, --A Nobody^{My talk} 04:29, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete clearly fake. Look at the text the author has written. You can clearly see that it is a hoax.--Heymid (talk) 08:55, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I wouldn't say clearly. I've seen far more atrocious character articles which turned out to be genuine. --Gwern (contribs) 14:22 17 January 2010 (GMT)
