Shogi professional

Hashimoto was granted an official leave of absence from active play from October 1, 2020, until March 31, 2021, for personal reasons by the Japan Shogi Association.[3] On April 2, 2021, he informed the JSA that he had decided to retire altogether as an active professional shogi player, and the JSA announced later that day that it had accepted Hashimoto's retirement request.[1][4]

Resignation from JSA

On November 2, 2022, Hashimoto notified the JSA of his intention to resign as a member for personal reasons effective immediately and submitted his formal resignation papers. The JSA acknowledged his request and announced he was no longer a member later that same day.[5][6] Hashimoto subsequently explained his reasons for resigning via his YouTube channel and on Twitter stating that he did not want his involvement in a custody dispute with his wife over his young daughter and his public criticism of the Japanese government regarding its position on parental child abduction to adversely impact the JSA in any way.[5]

Arrest

On January 17, 2023, Hashimoto was arrested on suspicion of defamation for posting content that defamed his ex-wife on Twitter.[7][8][9][10] After specifying the real name and address of his ex-wife, etc., Hashimoto called her as "the murderer who dropped me to the bottom of hell,"[11] and repeated posts such as "I will kill myself by killing indiscriminately," and "I can't even throw gasoline and set it on fire".[12][13] This is the second time he has been arrested, and he was also arrested in December of the previous year on suspicion of defaming his ex-wife. He was later indicted for defamation, and on June 23, he was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison by the Otsu District Court, suspended for 4 years.[14]

On July 20, 2023, Hashimoto was re-arrested on suspicion of attempted murder for trying to kill his ex-wife and her father by hitting them with something like a hoe.[15]
