Hiro Hamada

Hiro Hamada (Japanese: 披露 浜田; Romanization: Hiro Hamada) is the main protagonist of the 2014 Disney animated feature film Big Hero 6 and Big Hero 6: The Series. He is the founder and leader of Big Hero 6, a team of young superheroes. He is based on Hiro Takachiho from the Marvel comic Big Hero 6. He is voiced by Ryan Potter.

Background
Hiro Hamada is a young prodigy living in the high-tech city of San Fransokyo, along with his brother Tadashi, who wants Hiro to become a productive member of society. Hiro has above average intelligence which he rarely puts into use. He is a 14-year old in the film and in the video game as well as in the comics, and his birthday is on the 3rd of June.

After the mysterious death of his brother, Hiro turned to Tadashi's robot Baymax, a robot created for nursing in place for the lack of brotherly love he had. However, when a mysterious threat is revealed and endangers the city, Hiro turns to Baymax for help, transforming the robot into a crime-fighter bent on protecting their metropolis city. Hiro then joins forces with an older group of young intellectuals and friends of Tadashi, forming the savior team, Big Hero 6.

Physical Appearance
Hiro is a thin, 14-year old Japanese-Caucasian boy. According to official sources, he is 5'0" (152 cm) in height and rather slender. He has messy black hair (brown hair in Disney INFINITY 2.0 Edition), brown eyes, and a small gap between his two front teeth. His outfit consists of a red shirt with a picture of a robot on the front, often worn with a navy blue zip-up hoodie, brown pants, and black trainers with yellow laces.

He is also seen wearing a deep purple, red and black superhero armor (in a pattern meant as an inversion of Baymax's armor) that ends at his knees.

Powers And Abilities
While not possessing any actual superpowers, Hiro does possess an abnormally high intellect, being able to enter and graduate high school by the age of 11 and his parents died by the age of 4. He is adept at inventing, being able to construct and magnetically constructed remote controlled robot that effortlessly took out his opponent's oppossing robot. He was then able to use the same type of technology to create a colony of micro-bots controllable through a neural interface (before Yokai stole it).

Within a few days, Hiro was able to construct his team's power-suits, equipping each of them with a plethora of features and incorporating their own technologies into them for their own use.

Character Bio
Robotics prodigy, Hiro Hamada has the mind of a genius—and the heart of a 14-year old: his state-of-the-art battle-bots dominate the underground bot fights held in the dark corners of San Fransokyo. Fortunately, big brother Tadashi redirects Hiro's brilliance, inspiring him to put his brain to the test in a quest to gain admission to the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. When a tragic event changes everything, Hiro turns to a robot named Baymax, and they form an unbreakable bond—and two-sixths of a band of high-tech heroes on a very important mission.

Press Info
Like the 19-year old playing him, Hiro is a half-Japanese, half-Caucasian kid with a lot of energy to spare. Luckily for his hometown, though, Hiro is also a super-genius who turns his nurse robot, Baymax, into a formidable, action-movie presence when a threat arises. And while he doesn't have any actual superpowers per se, Hiro dons a flight suit with a red circle on the glove that magnetically connects to the back of Baymax, and they can act as a tag team in battle, Hall says. "They're symbiotic in that way."
