HIRO
Hiro is a boy with big dreams, just like any other ordinary 13 years old kid.
He imagines a lot being a hero, using his family influences and admirations on asian movies and animations. Based on his family history, he imagines being a samurai, knowing that his grandfather's ancestors are from an important japanese family with samurais. Hiro grew up seeing his grandfather showing samurai moves, how to use a "invisible katana", how to behave.
He plays a lot in his backyard with broomstick as katanas, towels as kimonos, flipflops as getas and plushies as enemies that he needs to fight with.
His backyard and his room are combat temples that he uses to fight against his enemies. Sometimes he comes back to reality. And he knows that he doesn't live where he imagines. But there's nothing that makes him happier than being able to play and let his imagination drives where he gets so much inspiration - his family ancestors and history.
He's proud of who he's and where his family came from.
