Hatsuka Hazama

Hatsuka Hazama (間 初花 Hazama Hatsuka) is a main character in Snow Radish Vacation!! and an offscreen character of Summer Radish Vacation!! Via her son Shun, Hatsuka is the grandmother of several heroines of the Days series, most notably Sekai Saionji and Setsuna Kiyoura.

Appearance
Hatsuka has fair skin along with bright blue eyes. She wears an orange plaid miniskirt along with a Mayo-chan hoodie. Her most prominent feature is her long golden-blond hair which is usually tied back with a red ribbon. Her bangs also form two fringes. She seems to have cut her hair shorter the year after Snow Radish Vacation, as seen in the photo of her with Kagura Inou and Ms. Nijou.

Background
Hatsuka was a good friend of Kagura as well as a girl from Nijou family. They all studied at Moteharashou and were among Tomaru Sawagoe's cram students. There, she and several female friends (excluding Kagura) begin to have sexual relationships with Tomaru, but not to the point of intercourse since there isn't enough time. She is the first one to notice that Tomaru had disappeared from Motehara the day after he seduced Kagura, speculating that he might have left to be with his "supposed" girlfriend from the university.

Reunion
Nine months later, Hatsuka runs away from home to stay with Kagura as her mother is going out with another man after her father died. She is overjoyed to be reunited with Tomaru, causing Kagura to worry that Tomaru might not be able to keep his promise to her since Hatsuka is a very pretty girl.

In the true ending, the Betrothal Party, Hatsuka organizes a party with other girls for Kagura and Tomaru. She also gives her friend a floral wedding veil for her as present. Canonically, she has sex with Tomaru, becomes pregnant, and eventually gives birth to her first son, Shun. She also participated in prostitution organized by Tomaru, alongside Kagura and Ms. Nijou. Hatsuka continues to raise her son alongside other girls' children, but moved away around the time that Tomaru disappeared after taking away the principal of Moteharashou's fortune. She and Kagura are still in contact, and she comes to rescue her when the latter is confined by a teacher. Hatsuka also bore two more children, Toki and Kuu, by Tomaru.

Summer Radish
Years later, Hatsuka is reunited with Tomaru again, much to Shun's disgust. After a quarrel, Shun leaves home for Haramihama to work during the summer with Kagura.

Shiny Days
Hatsuka is mentioned to work in a Food Coordinator-related business and is Manami Katsura's superior.

In the Inori Route, Hatsuka is mentioned by Youko when she is communication with Headquarters over her management of Radish while arguing that even Hatsuka is intrigued with her plan.

Personality
Hatsuka was groomed by her biological father to accept parental incest as something natural, as evidenced by the adultery chart, which shows her having a child by Shun. She was, however, always willing to rescue her friend Kagura, as shown when the latter was kidnapped by a Moteharashou teacher.
