== Charactah Account ==
Hachiman is an isolated, friendless boy who is pragmatic to a fault. His most prominent feature is his set of "dead fish-eyes". He firmly believes that "youth" is simply an illusion created by hypocrites, for hypocrites, born from the ashes of past failures. In this state of apparent corruption, he is coerced into joining the Service Club by his futures advisor in the hopes that exposing him to the world will change his personality, and ultimately make him a "better person".
Despite his so-called rotten personality, he really is kind underneath his exterior. He often keeps his face stiff and thus surprising everyone by his concern for the individual.
He is mostly result-oriented, hence he is not bothered by any process if it gives him the desired result. However, this often comes at a cost of causing pain to himself or others. His teacher, Shizuka pointed out that his intentions of helping others are not a good reason for him to hurt himself, as even if he himself is used to the pain, there are those who will find it painful to see him hurt. She also adds that if he sticks to his ways, he will not be able to save the person he wants to save the most. Even though Hachiman doesn't like his own method of doing things, he has pride in his work, and won’t let anyone call it self-sacrifice.

* Hachiman used to have "spirit world diaries" and "government reports".
* Hachiman appears to have a soft spot for Saika Totsuka and constantly has to remind himself that Totsuka is a guy.
* Hachiman likes the teachings of Buddhism since he feels that his ideals match with it.
* Hachiman likes Georgia MAX Coffee which he seems to drink frequently.

* Hachiman hates tomatoes  and insects.
* Hachiman used to drink tea in the Service Club with a paper cup, but later Yui Yuigahama and Yukino gave him a cup with an image of Pan-San as a gift.
* In the fandom, Hachiman is occasionally compared to Batman.
** There was a scene where Batman takes all the blame for Harvey Dent's murders in The Dark Knight and it was very similar to how Hachiman took the blame for Minami Sagami's failures during the Cultural Festival.
** In an English fansub of season 2 episode 13, Hachiman is wearing an "8-man" mask bearing a resemblance to Batman's mask. Twitter user skiddiks takes credit for the creation.
* Hachiman enjoys eating at Saizeriya.
* It was shown in the 2nd episode of the first season of the anime that he owns a Nintendo Gamecube. Then in the 7th episode, it was also shown that Hachiman also owns a Black PSP.
* Hachiman Hikigaya won an Award as Best Male Character Award held on October 10, 2015, at the NewType Awards in Japan. Including his voice actor, Takuya Eguchi.
* Hachiman's character and personality have some close resemblance to Houtarou Oreki, from a 2001 novel and 2012 anime adaptation, Hyouka:
** Both were apathetic, introverted, and above all that, being known as both lazy yet clever when it comes to certain scenarios.
** They also share their messy-hair trademark, similar "dead-fish" eyes (although Houtarou's eyes are more drowsy in comparison), unenthusiastic emotions, and had similar scenarios where they were also being forced to join a club — which then later introduced by another girl character as they enter the club for the first time in the very first episode (with Houtarou meets Eru Chitanda, one of the main characters in Hyouka, while Hachiman meets Yukino in OreGairu Season 1).
** Both Hachiman and Houtarou are voiced by Adam Gibbs in English dub.
* Alluded to in Season 1 Episode 2, Hachiman appears to have suffered from "8th Grader Syndrome" or 'Chunibyo' when he was in middle school
