— Chapter 1 - Steins;Gate

Hashida (橋田 至, Hashida Itaru?), also known by his nickname Daru, his online handle DaSH ("Daru the Super Hacker") and Barrel Titor is an experienced hacker and a hardcore otaku, a member of the Future Gadget Lab and a close friend of Rintaro Okabe who eventually becomes the husband of Yuki Amane and the father of Suzuha Amane.
Appearance[]
Itaru is a short and overweight guy who needs glasses to see.
He always wears a dark green/olive t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans along with his signature yellow cap. In one of the anime adaptation's episodes, Itaru is seen wearing a yellow Hawaiian shirt.
His cosplay outfit with the Cosplay mode activated resembles Jotaro Kujo's appearance in Part 3 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (see Gallery).
Personality[]
Itaru is obsessed and extremely talented with programs and computers, capable of hacking into the mainframes of top-secret organizations and processing complex computer codes.
Like Rintaro Okabe, Itaru enjoys making Future Gadgets, but he is not nearly as enthusiastic about it as Okabe is. Itaru also has a very particular naming sense for his creations, usually adding serial and version number even if unnecessary.
One of Itaru's most prominent characteristics is his obsession over moe culture, as well as his perverted tendencies, often to the annoyance of those around him. He describes himself as a "Perverted Gentleman". He is also a big fan of Faris. While he might not act like it, Itaru is fully aware of how he comes off to other people. During his date with Yuki, he was incredibly self-conscious of being seen as little more than a fat pervert.

Background[]
Sometime he started hacking and under his net alias, DaSH, he became known as one of the best hackers on the Internet, calling himself a "super hacker".
While Rintaro Okabe and Itaru had known one another since high school, their friendship only really began from the moment they entered university. Itaru joined the Future Gadget Lab some time after Mayuri Shiina, his reasoning for doing so being that MayQueen+Nyan² was fairly close to the lab.
