Itaru Hashida

Itaru Hashida (橋田 至, Hashida Itaru), also known by his online handle DaSH ("Daru the Super Hacker"), is an experienced hacker and a hardcore otaku. By the time Robotics;Notes DaSH takes place, he is happily married to Yuki Amane and has a young daughter, Suzuha Amane. He is good friends with Nae Tennouji and accepts an invitation from her to visit Tanegashima in Robotics;Notes DaSH.
== Appearance==
Daru is short, overweight, and he 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.
==Personality==
Daru 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, Daru enjoys making Future Gadgets, but he is not nearly as enthusiastic about it as Rintaro is. Daru also has a very particular naming sense for his creations, usually adding serial and version number even if unnecessary.
Daru's favorite drink is Coca Cola.
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 is also a big fan of Faris.

Okabe sends a message to Hashida before calling him, when Daru opens the mail box, he reads "The Worldline is wavering..." and istantly after that he receives a call, Daru knows Okabe is really worried and doesn't hesitate to answer.
Okabe reveals that recently, the Divergence Meter created by him will display 1.048596 as it should, but occasionally twitches, changes numbers, or glitches.
Upon further investigation, Daru realizes that the Kimijima he captured is merely a flawed copy, and the original version of Kimijima is carrying out a series of hacking attacks on supercomputers and infrastructure grids all over the globe, plunging the world into chaos. Daru returns to Tanegashima to consult with the Robotics Club, Sawada, Nae, and Misaki, and they come to conclusion that Kimijima is hijacking the world's supercomputers in an attempt to achieve technological singularity. Daru uncovers evidence that Kimijima has placed himself inside a satellite. The Robotics Research Club fights an army of rogue robots to clear a path to JAXA's space communication center, where Daru proceeds to hack the satellite. He introduces a special program called "ANTARES", which permanently neutralizes Kimijima and prevents him from making any more copies of himself.
With the crisis averted, the Robotics Club celebrates, and Daru decides to bring his fellow Lab Members to Tanegashima in the future to meet them.
