Appearance

Hashiba wears glasses and has short brown hair.

He normally appears in his school uniform which consists of a beige jacket, brown pants, leather shoes, white shirt and blue tie.

Personality

He tends to nag Kobayashi, but not without reason. Despite this, it can be easily seen that he cares for Kobayashi. He also cares for Akechi, because he had seemed distraught when Akechi tended to save Kobayashi instead of Namikoshi, Akechi's best friend, knowing their past.

He is very helpful. He has helped Akechi and Kobayashi multiple times throughout their investigations using his family connections.

In Edogawa's works

Hashiba is part of the Boy Detectives (少年探偵団 Shonen Tanteidan) along with Kobayashi.
