I was rewatching the first season of Oregairu the other day, and something
caught my eye on the list of contacts on Hachiman's phone (which we see in
episode 5, after Yui adds herself as a contact).

The list here is:

  * Komachi
  * Grandpa's
  * Home
  * Soubu High School
  * Takatsu Dentistry
  * Dad
  * Barbershop
  * **Hanazawa Hanako** (花沢華子)
  * Mom
  * ✨✨Yui✨✨

So we have Hachiman's relatives; places he goes (school, dentist, barber); and
now Yui. But who is Hanazawa Hanako? That's a girl's name - but why would
Hachiman have a girl's number in his phone?

Who is Hanazawa Hanako?


Hikigaya asked for a girl's phone number in middle school, as mentioned in his
flashback at 6:30 - 7:00 in episode 4. The number probably belongs to her,
though he left her anonymous in his story in the anime (I haven't read the
early volumes of the LN's). There's no Hanazawa Hanako in Volumes 7-10. For
now, she remains in the back-burner of possible characters.
