** In real life, Wrestling/RikiChoshu. On one hand, Hashimoto and many other wrestlers disliked Choshu for his infamous Ishin Gundan revolution, in which he and his stable abandoned NJPW only to return when their venture failed. On the other hand, Choshu himself disliked Hashimoto because he saw him as lazy and unorthodox (Choshu famously hates shoot-stylists and martial arts-themed wrestlers). Thus, after Choshu and his crew came back to NJPW, a great tension arose between the native talents and the returned wrestlers, and it ultimately burst out with Hashimoto brutally attacking Hiro Saito during a tour, which ended with Masa Saito and Choshu himself coming to his aid and beating down Shinya. Their relationship never improved after that.
** His own mentor Wrestling/AntonioInoki became the greatest after his relationship with Hashimoto went awry, apparently due to disagreements over Hashimoto's bookings and performance. Hashimoto got eventually tired of Inoki trying to replace him with Naoya Ogawa and left NJPW to escape his influence, while Inoki initially tried to make it seem an one-sided affair for a time before he also turned against Hashimoto in the press. Their enmity from that point was so known that when Hashimoto died, Inoki caused controversy when he homaged Hashimoto, as people believed he was being subtlely sarcastic.

* BrokenPedestal: He idolized Antonio Inoki, his main reason to become a professional wrestling. However, he turned upset and broke bonds with him after Inoki used Hashimoto's career to build Naoya Ogawa as the next star, even if it went against the wish of basically everybody and even Shinya himself threatened with leaving if they didn't change their booking plans. Inoki didn't seem to harbour bad feelings towards him, and later even expressed his delight in seeing Hashimoto and Ogawa becoming best friends in ZERO-ONE; however, he eventually turned publicitly against Hashimoto after they had a falling out over Mark Kerr's contract.

* BrilliantButLazy: Reputedly, Hashimoto had a bit of "too talented to train" attitude in the locker room. Although his natural charisma and his relatively non-demanding wrestling style allowed him to get away with this for several years (he could actually get over by just kicking and chopping his opponent around while screaming), it might have been one of the reasons why chairman Inoki turned on him in the 2000s. According to some, Inoki would have liked Hashimoto to be fit and muscled like most MMA fighters of the time, which Hashimoto would have refused due out of laziness.
