Hanada Shirō (花田 史郎) is a new character that appears in the DS game Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kizuna: Dai Yon Kan Kizuna. He was briefly mentioned in Kagebōshi-hen and serves as a secondary antagonist of Miotsukushi-hen. He was a former subordinate of Minai Tomoe and Fujita Shingo, and used to work for Tomoe's late father in the past.

It is implied that Hanada works for the organization "Tokyo", especially when he planned on tricking Tsukada Satoru into shipping "drug medications" that are supposed to suppress Hinamizawa Syndrome for the former residents of Hinamizawa when in reality they increase hallucinations. Kimiyoshi Natsumi and Hatakeyama Aoi (the son of the Retirement Center owner, whom Natsumi works for part-time) were two victims of this false medication.

It was later revealed that Hanada was responsible for kidnapping Ozaki Nagisa in Tokihogushi-hen and murderering Tomoe's parents. After this revelation and betrayal, Tomoe chased him in a high speed chase. Both of them were injured in the chase, but Tomoe managed to capture Hanada and arrest him. Hanada would later confess to the kidnapping of Nagisa.
