Hayato Urabe is a supporting character who appears in the baseball anime and manga series Major 2nd. He is primarily known as a pitcher for the Mifune Dolphins youth baseball team, where he forms a battery partnership with the catcher Andy Suzuki. Physically, he is depicted as an adolescent boy with black hair of ear-length and black eyes.

In his early appearances, Urabe exhibits a notable level of arrogance and is quick to make light-hearted insults. This is first demonstrated when he mocks Daigo Shigeno upon their initial meeting, specifically targeting Daigo's perceived lack of wealth or status. His personality is further shown when he jokes about wishing he were rich enough to attend Fuurin Academy, a comment that mirrors his earlier mockery of Daigo. However, as the story progresses into the middle school arc, Urabe undergoes a clear development. He no longer holds the same arrogance he possessed as a younger child. Having played alongside skilled players like Mutsuko Sakura and Daigo Shigeno, he comes to agree with Andy that these two are forces to be reckoned with and should not be underestimated, showing a newfound respect for his peers.

Urabe's role in the story is directly tied to his position on the Mifune Dolphins. His primary function is as a pitcher, and his key relationship is with his catcher, Andy Suzuki, as they work together as battery teammates to face opposing teams. He also shares a significant dynamic with Daigo, evolving from an initial place of mockery to a more genuine camaraderie, as seen when the three spend time together away from the field. His development is marked by this shift from a smug and teasing individual to a more grounded and respectful player, reflecting his growth through shared competitive experiences. No notable or unique baseball abilities that set him apart from other pitchers are detailed in the available information.
