Hitoshi Honda (本田ひとし) is the son of Satoshi and Keiko. His nickname is "Hito-kun". He is always smiling and is three months older than Himawari. He gets along very well with Shin-chan, with whom he once went to the park to make friends. However, the company of Shinnosuke is not entirely agreeable for his mother, since sometimes Hitoshi has appeared all painted and with the typical elephant that Shin Chan draws. In later episodes he is seen more with Himawari since both babies are playmates.
