from L'Étranger de la Plage
Birthday
March 3 1985
Shun Hashimoto (橋本駿, Hashimoto Shūn) is the main protagonist of Umibe no Étranger alongside Mio Chibana. Shun possesses short messy light blond hair with bangs. His eyes are a similar mousy shade. Button-up shirts and flannels covered with a cardigan are his signature outfits. If not this, zippered hoodies and sweaters are also worn under a light jacket or trench coat. Occasionally he dons a pair of glasses when writing his manuscripts and in public to avoid recognition. Because of the effort exerted into his job, he’s repeatedly described as exhausted-looking. Shun works relentlessly when needed, which might contribute to why he views his life so pessimistically. He’s commonly seen working on his writing up until the deadline, sacrificing rest and failing to properly take care of himself in the process. This is due to procrastination on his part. Shun bottles up his identity to protect himself from the loss of friends. He speaks bluntly and mostly without a filter, but can also be endearing if he wishes. Despite his reluctant exterior, he becomes flustered quite easily. He’s especially introspective and tends to overanalyze things.
L'Étranger de la Plage
On an island off the coast of Okinawa, two young men meet on a beach. Shun Hashimoto is gay and aspires to be a novelist. He is interested in Mio Chibana, a somber high school student, and starts to flirt with him. Day by day, the two of them grow closer, but then, suddenly, Mio decides to leave the island. Three years later, Mio returns and approaches Shun with the words, "I've thought about it for the past three years. I like you, Shun, even if you're a guy." However, when faced with the prospect of finally becoming lovers with Mio, Shun cannot take the first step towards commitment...?
