Background
Kohji was a talented shogi player that his "not-related-by-blood"[2] brother, Shukichi Haneda, deeply respected. Many had high hopes that Kohji would win all seven of the major shogi titles.
He died under mysterious circumstances when in the United States participating in a chess tournament, a game he also enjoyed. Ai Haibara suggests that Kohji may have been murdered with APTX 4869 since a person with the same name appeared on the list of people killed by the poison.
Personality
Kohji's motto was "one should stick with one's original plan" (初志貫徹 shoshi kantetsu)[3].

Relationship analysis
Shukichi Haneda
Shukichi is a non-blood brother of Kohji, either by adoption, marriage, or some other means. Shukichi deeply respected him and likely changed one of his name characters slightly to honor Kohji.
Name origin
Maybe the name Kohji Haneda (羽田 浩司 Haneda Kōji) comes from Yoshiharu Habu (羽生 善治 Habu Yoshiharu) and Kōji Tanigawa (谷川 浩司 Tanigawa Kōji), real-life shogi players.
Shukichi Haneda (羽田 秀𠮷 Haneda Shūkichi) may have changed his name slightly to honor the late Kohji Haneda. Kohji's given name is 浩司, and the first character's radicals are (氵 ノ 土 口). 土 is earth's do. Shukichi's given name is spelled 秀𠮷, with the final "kichi" kanji also including the radical for earth's do. This 𠮷 for kichi is a very rare variant; 99% of the time kichi is written as 吉 with 士 (man/samurai's shi) instead.
Trivia
- In Episode 128, furigana (Japanese reading aid) of his surname is Hada (ハダ ).
- Gosho Aoyama mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18[4], the same volume the list of APTX 4869 victims appeared in.
