While Hashimoto's father, an employee of the Ministry of the Interior, was serving in Gifu, his son Hirohide was born there. Hirohide then spent his youth in Tōkyō before his father was transferred to the city of Fukuyama . Hirohide graduated from school there and later remained connected to the city. From 1954 he studied in the oil painting department at the Tōkyō Bijutsu Gakkō ( 東京 美術 学校 ), the forerunner of today's Tōkyō Geijutsu Daigaku , where Itō Ren was his teacher, and graduated there in 1958. From July 1964 he stayed in France for a year. After his return he taught at Asagaya Bijutsugakuen ( 阿佐 ヶ 谷 美術 学園 ), at the Yoyogi seminar ( 代 々 木 ゼ ミ ナ ー ル ), at Tōkyō-Zōkei University ( 東京 造形 大学 ) and other places. In March 1974 he founded, together with the same age Inoue Satoru ( 井上 悟 ; * 1931), Ōnuma Teruo ( 大沼 映 夫 ; * 1933), Kagami Isao ( 加 賀 美 勣 ; 1939–1999), Shindō Ban ( 進藤 蕃 ; 1932– 1998) and others the Rei no Kai ( 黎 の 会 ), such as the “Group of Awakening”. One began in the year with exhibitions in the gallery Tōkyō Central Bijutsukan ( 東京 セ ン ト ラ ル 美術館 ), which then followed annually further exhibitions.

In 1976 Hirohide had his first solo exhibition. In the same year, together with Iida Tatsuo ( 飯 田 達夫 ), he published the textbook “ Learning oil painting with a system” ( 油 絵 を シ ス テ ム で 学 ぶ Aburae o sisutemu de manabu ). Further exhibitions followed, and in 1990 the illustrated publication “ Sketching and painting landscapes” ( 風景 の 習作 と 制作Fukei no shusaku to seisaku ). In 1997 the exhibition “Hashimoto Hirohide Exhibition - Concert of Light and Mood” ( 橋本 博 英 展 - 光 と 風 の コ ン チ ェ ル ト ) took place in the Takasaki Art Museum . Hashimoto, who did not follow any style and was looking for his own way of "beautiful" landscape painting, died after a serious illness at the age of only 67.
