Sõsuke Hakamada (袴田 草介, Hakamada Sōsuke) is a supporting character of Too Many Losing Heroines! series. He is a first year student of Tsuwabuki High School and a classmate with Kazuhiko Nukumizu. He is the love interest and the childhood friend of Anna Yanami and is the boyfriend of Karen Himemiya.
Appearance[]
Sõsuke is a tall, good-looking young man with a tanned skin. He is often seen wearing his school uniform with a red undershirt and without a tie.
Personality[]
Sõsuke is a popular, bright, and good-looking boy, and appears to be quite a friendly person, easily approaching others to strike up conversations. While oblivious to Anna's romantic affections towards him, both he and Karen tried to include her when they went out to have fun. After she is forced to reveal her feelings to him, that seems to have stopped.
He seems to have an implicit understanding of Karen's actions, and vice-versa, with the couple having reciprocal wavelengths.
Nukumizu describes him as having dazzling main character energy, as he is social and kind-hearted.

Trivia[]
- According to Imigimuru, Sõsuke's design wasn't finalised after Volume 1 so he tried so hard to hide his face in one of the illustrations.[1]
- Hakamada is not part of any school club as he is part of a rock-climbing team outside of school.
- He first met Karen on the train, who mistook him for a molester.
- He promised Yanami to marry her when they were 4 years old, by giving her a clover ring.
- He used to take baths with Yanami as a kid.
- His family and Yanami's family are neighbours, and frequently have get-togethers.
- As a couple, Karen and Sõsuke are the least developed of the three most prominent relationships in the series.
- Unlike the other two couples, who behave similarly to married couples, and have long-term plans for their futures, Karen and Sõsuke have yet to show such development, as of Volume 7.
- Sõsuke has a mistaken interpretation of the state of Nukumizu's supposed romantic affairs:
- He and Karen were under the impression that Anna and Nukumizu were dating, and tried to invite them both to attend the class Christmas Party together[2].
- He believed that the latter was involved in a love triangle between Yumeko Shikiya and Tiara Basori after the incident in the gymnasium[3].
