Contents
Background
Not much is known about Shukichi Haneda's past and background before he met Yumi, except that they met for the first time on a train where he overslept and Yumi waited for him even though she had to miss her stop.[1] He also lived a rather wealthy life.[2] It's also unknown when Haneda started his career as a professional shogi player, but he had already attained the prestigious Meijin title back when he was still dating Yumi, without the latter knowing.[3]
Haneda's main objective is to prove himself worthy as Yumi's boyfriend by secretly winning all seven shogi titles, despite having technically been dumped by her. He has finally achieved all seven titles in the most recent Shogi match.[1] He is also widely known by the name of Taiko Meijin (太閤名人 Taikō Meijin) in the world of shogi.
Haneda currently lives in an apartment at Chateau Beika Condo (シャトー 米花 マンション Shatō Beika Manshon), the same place as when he was still going out with Yumi.[4]
Personality
Haneda has a very cheerful and somewhat childish personality, much to Yumi's annoyance. In front of Yumi and other characters, he rarely suppresses his emotions, which can range from overly joyful when meeting his former girlfriend, to hilariously disapproving when the latter announces that their relationship was over. Despite this, Haneda does show a calmer and more serious side during some situations, most notably when he is making his deductions or when he appears in front of the media.
On the other hand, Haneda is quite confident and proud of his excellent memory, as seen when he proclaims himself the best memorizer in the world.[5] From his goal of achieving all seven shogi titles to win Yumi's admiration, he also shows himself as a person with great patience and determination.
Appearance
Abilitites and Skills
Shogi
Shukichi Haneda has won numerous shogi matches and earned himself the title Meijin, which, along with Ryu-oh, is the most prestigious title in the professional shogi titleholder system;[6][7] as well as attained three other titles.[1]
Deductive abilities
As a professional shoji player, Shukichi Haneda is very intelligent. He was shown to be able to participate in solving a murder case next to his house, where he effectively figured out the trick behind the victim's suicide note, as well as the culprit's identity.
Memorization
Haneda is extremely skillful at memorizing, as shown when he managed to remember the code written on Sakurako's paper despite having only seen it for a very short amount of time. He also claims to be the best in this field.[5]
Appellations
Plot overview
Missing Classmate Case (Manga: 506; Anime: 427)
Haneda was first mentioned by Yumi to the Detective Boys when the children were looking for a missing schoolgirl. She described him as someone with a good-looking face but childish personality. She also mentioned having "dumped him in a bad way".[8]
Yumi's Love Story (Manga: 847-849; Anime: 731-732)
Yumi recalls her moment with Haneda before they broke up. When she proposed that they should end their relationship as she would become a police officer, Haneda handed her an envelope and told her not to open until he "collect all seven", referring to the shogi titles. However, he hasn't contacted her ever since then, so she officially broke up with him.
When a murder takes place at his neighboring apartment, Haneda becomes one of the prime suspects as he knows the code to acquire the spare key. That is when he finally meets his ex-girlfriend again after all those years. He cheerfully introduces to everyone about their relationship, only to be denied by Yumi.
As the investigation progresses, Haneda perceives the true nature of the victim's suicide note, calling it "a well prepared move", which turns out to be an important clue. Later, when asked about his own alibi, Haneda refuses to answer, much to Yumi's annoyance. However, he mentally tells her not to be worried, while confidently looking at Conan, who's already figured out the truth about the case.
Conan, with Haneda's helps, points out that the culprit is the victim's husband. Haneda explains that the suicide note was actually written four years ago, on an airplane that almost crashed; the culprit used it to fake her death as a suicide. He also reveals that he has suspected the husband since he saw the note, and his theory was confirmed when he overheard his conversation with his son.
At the end of the case, it is revealed that Haneda is in fact the famous shogi player called "Taiko Meijin", and was having a match when the crime occured. He kept quiet about it so Yumi couldn't find out about his occupation. It's also revealed that the reason he's so determined in winning all seven shogi titles is because when the two were still dating, Yumi used to express her admiration for a sumo champion who had won six tournaments in a row.
Shogi Tournament (Manga: 899-901)
Haneda won important matches to help him win his 4th, 5th and 6th titles. Before he begins his title match to become only the 2nd Nanakanou (Shogi player with all 7 titles) in history, he receives a letter. He opens the letter only to find out that Yumi was kidnapped and is trapped in a well. The letter contains clues pertaining to the whereabouts of Yumi. He arrives at the location but cannot find the well. Upon he arrival, he bumps into Conan and the Detective Boys who immediately ask the real purpose of Haneda. The match is postponed as Haneda attempts to win both the battle of Shogi and love.
Relationships analysis
Yumi Miyamoto
Shukichi Haneda and Yumi Miyamoto first met when the latter was still in college, and had begun dating since then until Yumi eventually broke up with him. Despite this, it appears they still have feelings for each other. Haneda doesn't seem to care about the break-up and still thinks of her as his girlfriend, as if nothing has happened. Yumi, on the other hand, clearly shows her concern when she hears that someone from the condo he's living is dead, and when he refuses to provide his alibi. The fact that they still call the other by their pet names further hints at this. They even exchanged a kiss before he continued his Shogi match to win the seventh title.
So far, Haneda still hasn't revealed his true occupation as a shogi player to Yumi.
Conan Edogawa
Haneda seems to have noticed Conan's intelligence and trusted his deductions the first time they met.
Name origin
His full name Shukichi Haneda (羽田 秀𠮷) and the in-story nickname Taiko (太閤) are both references to Toyotomi Hideyoshi (豊臣 秀吉), who was later renamed Hashiba Hideyoshi (羽柴 秀吉).[9] Additionally, Haneda's "Hane" (羽) also comes from Yoshiharu Habu (羽生 善治), a real-life professional shogi player who has won all seven titles.[10]
