The Wickham-Hakuba Estate in London:

If you thought the one in Japan was bad, the one in England is absolutely ridiculous. Granted, Hakuba’s mother inherited it, and it’s been in the family for a very long time. It’s constantly being renovated and improved, too, as she hosts events there on a regular basis. Large, ritzy affairs for charities and organizations to have their benefit parties. It boasts a ballroom, large dinner/reception area, sitting rooms, dozens of guest rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, expansive grounds and gardens, a lake, and so on. Excessive, yes, but his mum puts it to good use. Currently, the only people living there are Marion (his mother) and the staff – groundskeepers, maids, cooks, etc. 

Also, it’s actually only barely in London at all, technically speaking… about as far south-west as you can get. That’s one of Hakuba’s favorite things about it – it’s far enough away from the city to be nice and private, but close enough that they don’t have to go far to be back in the thick of it. 

Even better – the stone dividing wall around the property backs up to a nature preserve and, as a child, Hakuba found a section behind hedges where it had fallen apart. Thus, roaming wild woodland was an easy thing for him to do, and he did it often.

The Hakuba Estate in Japan:

image

Large, pretentious, excessive. Features a formal dining room; a large kitchen, drawing room/library, a parlor (with billiards, wet bar, large flat screen, couches), formal living room, several bedrooms (most of which are now empty guest bedrooms), office, underground parking for their fancy cars, large yard, koi pond, marble flooring, giant paintings, rugs, etc…

Hakuba’s ridiculous bedroom:

image

Fireplace, warddrobe-turned-liquor cabinet, reclinging arm chairs, giant rug; bathroom with garden tub, walk-in shower for two, excessive cabinets full of medical supplies and towels; walk-in closet with fire safe, panel to the attic, and dresser; desk, filing cabinet, queen-sized bed, and a large window with bench that lifts up for extra storage space (blankets, lock box). 

The Koi Pond:

image

Both the Hakuba Estate and the Wickham-Hakuba Estate have a koi pond in the back. They’re nearly identical, too – mirror images, in fact, that when overlayed form a complete circle. Yin-yang, actually.

(Pro tip: Hakuba privately believes that his parents have a chance of getting back together so long as both koi ponds remain…)

One day I’ll get around to mapping out the mansion and its grounds, with labels… but that day is not today!

Hakuba is a fairly healthy individual, in large part due to his diligence for good hygiene. is a bit of a neat freak, as well may be expected. He keeps things clean and well-organized pretty much all of the time. Lots of showers, hand-washing, hand-sanitizer, ironing, etc… and the maids at the mansion do a great job of keeping things spotless. HOWEVER… contrary to popular believe, he does not mind getting dirty to get work done. If he has to traipse through mud to catch a culprit, he will. He may lament his dry cleaning bill (a cost that could have been avoided), and he doesn’t like to stay dirty, but he will not shy away just because of some elbow grease. He just may… set the suit jacket out of the way and roll up his sleeves, first.

While it’s not difficult to fluster Hakuba, or get him riled up by irritating him, it does take a lot to get him actually angry. Part of this is because he has gone to great lengths to disguise strong emotions under layers and layers of control. Most often, especially with enough time for mental preparation, he takes anger and buries it, then detaches from the emotions at hand. This leaves him cold and distant with a carefully neutral facade. Once he’s in a safe place and able to process these emotions, they tend to shred inward. Thus, after emotional encounters, he tends to wait until it’s permissible, then escape to quiet ground to be isolated for a while. An example of this is when his parents used to fight, screaming at each other… his recourse was to hide in the back of his closet, behind clothes, on top of shelves, etc.. and not come out for several hours until he’d had a chance to break down, process, become numb, regroup, and compose himself once more. 

Send ☂ for a FOOD headcanon.

On a good day, Hakuba struggles to finish his meals. Whether this is because the staff gives portions that are too large or because he consistently undereats is unclear, though he seems to have this problem most anywhere he goes unless he packs his own food. On bad days, or during periods of high stress and anxiety, he can’t seem to eat at all. It may be that he survives mainly on tea.

Hakuba hates it when people go through his things without asking. Touching his books, looking through his case files, borrowing his pen, without asking, drives him absolutely nuts. The worst is when he has to have someone come over… like into his bedroom? And they start opening filing cabinet drawers or poking around the liquor cabinet…  Or opening the cupboads in his kitchen, browsing… He’ll try to suffer through it with clenched fists and a tight jaw, but he will not be happy about it.

Back when things were happier, Hakuba, his parents, and (sometimes) Baaya would take a holiday to France every year, usually in August. They’d spend a week in Paris, go out to the country to a beautiful vacation home in Lyon for a week or so, and then back to France for a day or two before heading home. It was mostly exploring and shopping, but some of Hakuba’s most treasured memories are from those times.

Even after the separation, Hakuba Sr flew down to by with Marion and Hakuba, until he was 13. Then it was just Hakuba and his mother. And then just Hakuba. He only stays about a week, sometimes less,  these days… and only travels as far as Paris… but he likes to get back there when he can, hoping to hold on to some of those good feelings just a little longer.

Send † for a RELIGION headcanon.

Hakuba’s favorite thing in the bible are parables, and he finds the fact that Christ used them in his teachings as incredibly significant. He hasn’t explained to me exactly why, but has mentioned that it ties into his beliefs about detectives and their work.

Hakuba was always… alone. He has no siblings and his parents are both working professionals, so for the most part, he grew up playing by himself. The mansion in London is very large and the property is vast, part of which runs into a nature preserve. There was a lot of area for little Saguru to explore and he did. His only companions were the dogs, his toy dragons, and Baaya (when she could keep up with him). He never really figured out how to be friends with people, not really. He had… associates, acquaintances, co-workers. 

It’s only now, most of the way through high school, that he’s sort of figuring it out. And even then, he’s incredibly awkward about it.

Nothing makes Hakuba lose his temper faster than… other people losing their temper. He can handle it, typically, if it’s a culprit or someone that he knows is unreasonable, though he reacts harshly. His cold, harsh verbal lashings are an attempt to put people into their place and get them to calm down. And shut up. If they persist, his anxiety gets worse and… yeah. 

Send ღ for a LOVE/SEXUALITY headcanon.

Hakuba is so completely attracted to competence. It doesn’t matter if it’s being an awesome detective (though that has other benefits), being a super high school level florist, fantastic at chess, or amazing at surfing… if you have a passion and you are highly skilled in it, Hakuba will be oh so enchanted by it. It’s just… you really do have to be competent. If you’re faking it, poor at it, or more passionate about being famous for it than the work itself (there’s definitely something to be said about professional humility), he will just be annoyed. Being proud of something and sharing your enthusiasm is MUCH different than bragging and beating a dead horse about supposed accomplishments. 

Send † for a RELIGION headcanon.

As mentioned on my headcanon page, Hakuba’s technically Catholic, though he hasn’t attended any meetings of any kind for a very long, long time. He does still read the bible, though, and many other religious texts. Although he won’t mention it (to anyone), he’s working through his beliefs little by little, studying what he comes across in his work and travel. And while he identifies as Christian, he feels strongly, now, that exclusivity doesn’t actually fit within his own headcanon of Christ’s teachings.

“LIAR.”

“Why do you think you were permitted entry into the Master’s DOMAIN? Your own pathetic sense of Justice blinds YOU. 

You are but a white horse idly grazing within the territory of voracious WILDCATS. How much longer will you continue to engorge yourself with puerile fantasies of ESCAPE?

…Or could it be that you are purposely waiting for those jaws to snap you WHOLE?

SINNER.

You believe yourself damned to the fires of Hell for the sins you have COMMITTED? Even Hell’s warden will cast you out for your cowardly MACHINATIONS. You are ill-prepared for such eternal IMPRISONMENT.”

“I will pay you cash money to find a safer line of work.”

“Ah, Kanoya-san… you have always been so kind to me, and it’s sweet of you to be concerned. Alas, I’m not interested in the financial aspect of the job… though it does pay fairly well as a private consultant… It’s the work itself that calls to me. 

"Rest assured, however; if I am ever rendered physically unable to continue the work, I would consider taking tenure as a professor at a university. I don’t expect that should happen – without rather unfortunate circumstances – any time soon, however.”

“You needn’t worry, though, Kanoya-san… It would take a lot to take me down. Particularly when I have dear friends like you to live for~”

Have you ever been under an anesthetic?

“I have, as a matter of fact. Several times. Generally for surgery. One moment in particular that I can recall was back in London, when I’d been injured on the job working with the police force tracking a culprit. I manage to get my man, but not without taking shrapnel from a car bomb. Despite the blood loss, I stayed conscious until they put me under for surgery."
