Personality: Hiro is a little kid. Seriously. He is bored with normal work and moans and groans about actually having to do it. He doesn't want to run a boring company, he wants to go out and play. Hiro spends his time reading comic books, watching shows like Star Trek, and dreaming of what it would be like to be a wicked awesome samurai. He wants to escape the real world and live in a comic book.
So when he gets to live in a comic book it's a dream come true. His powers are his favorite thing once he realizes he gets them. It's like a kid on Christmas getting the very thing they asked for. He immediately wants to go fight crime with them and save the world. He embraces them unlike a majority of the cast. They're all reluctant to accept them while Hiro takes it with pride. When he loses them he acts rather childishly about them. He gets extremely jealous of anyone that does have them like a kid who just found out everyone else has the new hot toy and he can't get his till his birthday. He clings to Ando while he has his and he doesn't-- trying to live the superhero life through him. Hiro just can't accept anything but the life of a hero.
He's not completely a kid though. Hiro, at times, acts maturely...well as maturely as one acting out life lessons learned from comic books can be. Something bad happens and he has to do something he's reluctant about --- of course it's a trial down the hero path. He does have his moments where he's not acting out a comic book. He is reluctant to kill Sylar at first because he realizes he's trying to ask for forgiveness (though he ...forgets that bit because Ando said to just kill him anyway) and he respects Charlie's wishes at the end not to remove her from the life she didn't have to live out.
But he's mostly a kid. Hiro, unlike the entire cast, has a strangely black and white view of the world. You're either a bad guy or a good guy. You can switch sides but you're never in between. Sylar can't be misunderstood. He's just evil in Hiro's head. Nathan is a good guy-- when he says he can't stop the bomb he's a bad guy -- but at the end he's a good guy again. He was never a neutral party. There's no such thing as Mr.Bennet's morally gray. He's just.. Wolverine. Extreme-acting good? Yeah. This faulters a little at points and towards the end of the show he was starting to lose this view a bit.
Hiro also goes above and beyond for what he believes in, falls in love hard and fast, and wants nothing more than to save the day.
Other: ► I'd be taking him from the beginning of/right before Season 4. ► Hiro canonly had a blog! You can read the entries right here. (http://heroeswiki.com/Hiro's_blog)
