Siblings[]
Hajime dotes on his younger siblings, often bringing them up in everyday conversation and telling others about how cute they are. The three of them appear to be very close and all shared a room together before Hajime moved to Starmony Dorm. Hajime's primary motivation to become successful as an idol is so that he can earn enough money to support his siblings, and he is always doing everything he can to be a good older brother to them. He dedicates a lot of his time, energy, and money to them, using his earnings to buy them sweets and gifts, and thinking up games to play with them to keep them entertained.
In turn, Hajime's siblings also love their older brother a lot and find ways of expressing their appreciation for him. For example, they once saved up their allowance from doing chores so that they could buy a handkerchief as a gift for Hajime. They both also frequently phone him up and ask him how things are going with work.
Hajime tends to be extremely self-sacrificing when it comes to his younger siblings, even going as far as only eating bread crusts so that they could have the best part of the bread. While he doesn't resent them for this, it has led to some complicated feelings on his end. He has stated that he felt jealous of his siblings since the moment they were born and his parents paid more attention to them than to him. Although he was able to look past this due to his love for his siblings, his negative emotions have always remained inside his head, and he feels that he is unable to express them for the sake of being a good older brother.
Due to Hajime and Tomoya's longstanding friendship, Hajime's younger siblings are both also very familiar with his best friend.
