Hiro Nakamura
A computer programmer from Japan with a love of comics that evolved an ability to bend space and time.
Where is he from?
Hiro is the loveable main character of 2006's TV series Heroes, played by Masi Oka. Heroes is the single largest victim of the 2007 writers strike; all the momentum from it's excellent first season ground to a tire-squealing halt in the second. The first season was SO popular that the series continued through three more joyless, uninspired seasons on pure nostalgia for what could have been. Even now, remembering just how awesome Heroes was when it started makes us wistful.
