Hideki is the best friend of Makoto Fujimoto in high school.

During the imperial exam, it is revealed that his arm was replaced with a mechanical one, and was being used to hack into the imperial exams around it, displaying anti-Empire material. Four soldiers walk into the room, including a young officer named Lieutenant Tateshi. Mac tries to stop the soldiers from attacking Hideki, saying that he isn't in control of himself. The soldier agrees, but two others push Mac out of the room as one soldier fires six bullets into Hideki's chest, killing him.
