let's get into some big headcanons and break down his backstory. i've summarized it as simply as i can but this is still a little long, sorry!
Hazuki is half-Korean and he was born and raised in Shinjuku. He lived in Ōkubo (also known as Shin-Ōkubo) - a neighborhood located within the district near Kabukichō - and attended school there. He would frequently make trips to Shibuya and Harajuku because he lived near the Higashi-shinjuku station.
______________________________
Hazuki used to have a big personality. He was rebellious, a risk taker, he had a silly but also a morbid sense of humor, he took up space where he wanted to, he got angry fast but loved really hard, he was intense, he was gloomy, but he wasn't afraid to share his laughter. As he is right now, who he was is basically gone, but only almost. More below.
______________________________
He had a hyperfixation on CAT when he was alive, a passion since abandoned now that he's a cog in the machine for the Higher Plane. Yay. He used to have a big collection of CAT merch, he'd often blow what little allowance he had on the things CAT made. CAT gave him the escapism he needed in a life where he felt like an outsider, had an abusive home life, and suffered from severe depression. Which leads me to...
DISCLAIMER; This isn't a theory, it's just a personal headcanon for my take on Hazuki, to add a little spice and give him a deeper connection to the story. It isn't an exclusive headcanon to any particular portrayal of Neku. You also do not have to abide by it, I can disconnect this portion and fill in the blank.
Hazuki is Neku's dead best friend, and what I've built about him thus far is built strongly around what Another Day (This Day Ends with You!) Neku tells us about him;
"I wouldn't have found the mural in Udagawa if he hadn't told me about it. He was my one real friend--the only guy in my class I could talk to as an equal. I was fine with that. Just him and me. Man, I miss him... Not that I have a right to... Not after I killed him. I'll never forget that day... We were set to meet up at the usual spot. I asked him to come. I was waiting in front of the CAT mural... but he never came. Only later did I hear about the accident. I was so mad. Then I felt awful... I shouldn't have asked him there. If not for me, he'd still be here... It's like I killed him."
I haven't decided how Hazuki died yet, exactly, but it was a genuine accident. Hazuki's memories of Neku are intact, as is his attachment to him. So why did he choose to remain dead after completing his Reaper's Game in Shinjuku? Hazuki has an extraordinary Imagination. He was offered ascension into the Higher Plane and accepted it. During his Game, he learned about how Reapers could travel into the RG and made the assumption that he would have the same freedom awaiting him as an Angel, giving him the escape from his life and control that he craved while still allowing him to be with Neku.
It was not to be, though. He became trapped in the Higher Plane while small pieces of him were altered in order to assimilate him into the Hive Mind of the Angels. However, lot of his rebellious nature remained intact and he often resisted the control of the Angels, resulting in a push back of more alterations, brainwashing, and eventually a push to make him Composer of Shinjuku, while the Angel in charge of his assimilation became his Producer. It was an attempt to straighten him out by giving him a responsibility, and it was an execution of the current Composer. It was also meant to be seen as a "positive" thing, a show of trust, of love, because you can't have all bad and expect loyalty to hold.
Pretty obvious, I feel, but Hazuki has a bad relationship with his Producer, they do NOT like each other.
Chewing up headcanon and canon together; Hazuki never actually wanted to be Composer, and he didn't feel any remaining love for Shinjuku. Seeing it already as a flawed place, he quickly and coldly made the decision that Shinjuku was unfit and needed to be Purified. It was shortly before Neku was dragged into being Joshua's proxy that Hazuki's own conflict with his Conductor began, who he did not give the same fair chance to that Joshua gave to Megumi.
___________________________
I also like to think that Hazuki's disconnection from the lower planes and his humanity became more severe in the time it took for NEO's Reaper's Game to conclude.
hazuki is joshua's opposite to me, he's the cute little negative character development to joshua's positive character development, and also neku's. but i'm crafting this story with hazuki having the chance to go any way in terms of development, but in his primary story he will be saved and he will get better and it will be beautiful. yay. he isn't lost forever, he's just trapped himself. he royally screwed himself over and took everyone down with him LMFAOOO and that's it for this current session of clearing out my gay little braincage. i have so many more thoughts but i'll save them for more posts so this doesn't get too long.
"I do recall hearing that pigeons like rice!"
And then instead of giving his own answer, he moves onto a new question "So, anything in particular lead to the sorry state you're in right now? Work getting you down?"
Hazuki doesn't care much that Joshua didn't include anything about himself in the talk about food. He didn't ask, so he didn't expect to receive. Still... he is a bit curious. The conversation moves on, though, to one that Hazuki is far less inclined to throw answers towards, both because he's a private person and because there are things he just can't talk about, even between Composers.
"In a sense. Things are difficult in Shinjuku, of course." Which is something that he'd brought down on himself, really, but that's complicated too. What was really bothering Hazuki was his Producer and the others up the chain from them, but he won't say that part out loud.
"I guess I should say thanks for letting me take a little break here."
"Big, fat nothin', yo. 'Pparently I went there a while back, but I don't even remember it." Beat huffed and crossed his arms, leaning against a light post. "It's got me all freaked out now."
Actually, that wasn't entirely true. He knows that Joshua knows something... but he's not willing to bring up Shibuya's Composer to just anyone.
"Nothing at all?" That didn't help him much, it leaves him in a position where all he can do is just watch the border to Nakano and hope nothing comes crawling through. He could go and investigate, but drawing Kaminari's attention to Shinjuku didn't seem like such a good idea at the moment, and he can't afford to not care about that right now.
Shibuya is Nakano's neighbor as well, he can't help wondering if Kiryu has noticed anything, or even investigated it himself... Would it be worth a venture into Shibuya to find out? Or can he do so through Beat? If the two of them communicate at all, that is. He doesn't know.
"Mh... Sounds to me like you might have seen something you weren't supposed to see." Hazuki briefly goes silent as he thinks this over, reaching up to rub his earring, "... You have concrete proof that you went there, I assume."
❝ i'll try. ❞ try was an awful big word when it came to cleaning duty. no one actually enjoyed having to do it in their class, but it had been something instilled in most of them (except hazuki) since starting school how important it was. once the other had left to go downstairs towards the lockers, neku got himself up from his desk and started putting some items away until he knew for sure he could track down the class president.
it took a lot more pleading than he anticipated. maybe a bit of a white lie to follow about there being an emergency and having to leave as soon as class was over. before he knew it, he was rushing down the hallway down the stairs towards the lockers. nearly tripping and running into other students, he clipped the wall and held onto the edge of the row of lockers that he and hazuki were assigned at the beginning at the year. the teen needed to catch his breath, leaning over his knees, panting heavily like he'd been in P.E.
❝ w....e're good... let's.... go..... ❞
Just as Hazuki was starting to get really bored of waiting - enough that he even considered going back to the classroom to check in on Neku, said boy then comes scurrying around the corner, out of breath and barely able to stand up straight. Hazuki laughs when Neku stops speaking, his voice cracking just a little as he does, "Hey, that was fast!"
"Nice job." Hazuki gives Neku a big thumbs up and then puts his hand back into his hoodie pocket, "Wanna drop by your place before we head for the train?"

Okay... probably time to drop the silliness. Beat could treat the situation with the gravitas it deserved.
"There's somethin' weird going on in Nakano, yo. I still don't really got all the details, but... jus' take care of yourself, aight? I don't wanna hear nothin' bout Shinjuku dealin' wid even more trouble."
"I'll be sure to stay vigilant, then." Shinjuku really didn't need any more trouble, especially not in this incredibly critical point in its restoration. It would be so easy to throw off the balance, and Hazuki didn't want to deal with the consequences of that. "What do you know, exactly?"
@ruinouspath
"Hey, man, you better be careful. There's some real scary shit going down."
"Y'might get grungled if you ain't watchin' yourself."
"Something's been wandering around here, then? Mind filling me in?"
neku couldn't help but sigh exasperatedly at the mention of cleaning duty. ❝ kinda. i'm on th' sheet for it this week. ❞ it usually wasn't too bad, but it still sucked to have to do. haz never stuck around for it. it usually resulted in them going from school to the train station. they'd been going to shibuya a lot lately. there were a lot of good claw machines lately.
❝ i mean.... i shouldn't, but.... ❞ there were other classmates already starting to get ready to get the supplies out. the class rep wasn't in here either so.... ❝ maybe i could just do extra chores tomorrow? if you wanna head downstairs and wait for me by the shoe lockers, i could try talking to Sato-san into doing my half today. ❞ he'd go plead his case to get out of it, somehow.
"Ugh... But if you have to do extra chores tomorrow, we'll have to wait even longer to get out of here." Hazuki lets out a big burdened sigh and drops his hand back down onto the desk, as his eyes are turned away, he watches their other classmates getting started.
"Um... I guess I can deal with that, though." Hazuki gets up from his desk and stretches as big as he can before dropping his arms with a huff, "Okay, I'm outta here, see you at the lockers. Try to be fast? 'Cuz I wanna do more than the arcade if we're heading for Shibuya."
A new Game, huh? Don't worry—I'm here to help.

❝ dude, i got some of my allowance yesterday. do you want to go to the arcade? ❞ he's leaning on hazuki's desk after class let out. neku had been chosen to help with cleaning duty today so he'd be stuck cleaning for at least thirty minutes before he could go to his lockers. he wanted nothing more than to have his own shoes back. uwabaki were always so uncomfortable at the end of the day. he probably needed to buy a new pair for school soon anyway. maybe on the way home.
"Duh! Like you even have to ask?" Hazuki plants his chin in his hand as he rests his elbow against his desk, peeking up at Neku, "Hey, wait... aren't you stuck on cleaning duty today?" He doesn't want to wait that long, and he could very easily just leave Neku to do his work and wait for him at the arcade, but... he wouldn't ever do that to him.
Hazuki's grin widens and he gives Neku a little poke to his forehead, "Sooo... does that mean you're ditching?"

A very primal part of him wants to growl as he says his next words, but such behavior has no place here so he keeps control of himself, if there's still a subtle glow to his eyes when he answers that's neither here nor there
"I think we both know we're not prone to being those kinds of guest, so yes, lets all keep our hands to ourselves"
Apparently deciding that's settled, he returns to normal as if nothing happened "So! What type of curry appeals to pheasants?"
"Uh-huh." Hazuki stares for a moment longer, but he doesn't say anything else, becoming completely disinterested in wasting his energy on this particular subject, so he easily switches into the next.
"Well, I wouldn't know, considering I'm not a pheasant." Hazuki's shoulders relax after he gives one lazy shrug, "I like curry rice."
Joshua turns to him and raises an eyebrow "Well how would you respond if I were to suddenly show up in your territory, hm? If you're meaning to imply you'd just let me walk around wherever I pleased maybe I should pay a visit"
His eyes narrow
"I intend to keep my city from experiencing anymore complications, can you say the same?"
Hazuki raises a brow in return, annoyance rising in just one little spark at being asked such a question, but he sighs and he smiles again, there's just something less friendly about it this time. "Hmm... You'd be surprised. I don't mind a few guests as long as they don't interfere with things that aren't their business."
He tilts his head slightly, locking eyes with Joshua, "Of course I can, senpai. If things had gone as planned in the first place, it wouldn't be as complicated as it already is. Let's hope everyone can keep their hands to themselves now that they've had their fun."
Joshua chuckles "Hmm I dunno, how heavy are you? Its not a good look if I go around injuring myself catching birds that fall out of the nest you know"
His shoulders raise at the mention of a new Conductor "Shibuya is doing well, and it would be doing better if people didn't keep strolling in and distracting me" and he ignores the question completely
"I didn't realize I was so distracting." Joshua's avoidance towards an answer and the shift in his posture gives Hazuki a pretty good sense of what he wanted to know; that he hasn't chosen one just yet, although he can't prove that.
Well, if that's the case, then it would seem they're in the same boat. Sort of. It's not as though Hazuki has many options.
"I'm fine with just wandering around if you're too busy for me."
was scrolling through my notifs and ran into this again. the way i totally forgot i made hazuki's blog on his birthday
"And of course you choose to come here" he grumbles to himself
Returning to his usual demeanor, he begins walking away
"Its in Dogenzaka. Maybe walking there would prove stimulating for you..." he pauses and turns to look at him over his shoulder "If you can make it that far"
Is it another threat or is it just teasing? Its hard to tell
Whatever way it's meant to be taken, Hazuki offers up playfulness anyway, "I may just faint." He shrugs his shoulders and starts to follow after Joshua, "You'll catch me, right? I happen to be very delicate." He says it so flatly that it almost doesn't sound like a joke, but it most certainly is.
"Shibuya seems to be doing well." It's really been ages since he's spent such a long time here, much of his memory of it is hazy, at best. Some pieces are missing altogether. " — Found a new Conductor yet?"
