Totally η-umbilic real hypersurfaces are the simplest examples of real hypersurfaces in a non-flat complex space form. Geodesic hyperspheres in this ambient space are typical examples of such real hypersurfaces. We characterise every geodesic hypersphere by observing the extrinsic shapes of its geodesics and using the derivative of its contact form.
