Souji Hashiba, known mostly by his last name (ハシバ Hashiba), is a protagonist in the anime Rampo Kitan: Game of Laplace. He is normally seen with Kobayashi and is Kobayashi's best friend. He's the class representative and the son of a distinguished family. He has a helpful personality and plays straight man to Akechi and Kobayashi.

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. It is obvious that he has romantic feelings for him, he often blushes in his company and would do anything to protect him. He's getting easily distracted by him and sometimes even looks at his body parts without realizing it. He is embarrassed when he undresses in front of him. It seems that others like Akechi have noticed his feelings. 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 and smart. 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.
