橋田 至

Daru is an experienced hacker who has known Okabe since high school. He is very skilled at computer programming and with old and new computer hardware. He is also well-versed in things pertaining to otaku culture. Okabe and Shiina refer to him by the nickname "Daru", a portmanteau of his given name and surname. Okabe sometimes also calls him Super Haker, mispronouncing the word "hacker" to his chagrin. He is a big fan of Faris and he frequently says things which could be taken as sexual harassment. Daru is often annoyed with Okabe's frequent delusional behavior.
