Character Information
Name: Hiro Hamada Canon: Big Hero 6 Age: 14 years Gender: Male Canon Point: Near the end of the film, after saving Abigail, during the timeskip prior to finding Baymax's chip. Background Link:Disney Wiki. Inventory: SFIT hoodie, cargo shorts, sneakers, robot t-shirt. Backpack with a now useless cellphone, handheld gaming console, house key for their home/the cafe, wallet with cash, student id, possibly some sort of eftpos card. Basically full of now useless things, thanks Norfinbury. Also, his diary, couple of ballpoint pens, pencil, eraser in a pencil case. And his epi-pen, because allergies suuuuck, (screw you, peanuts).
Personality:
Genius. Prodigy. If there's one or two words to sum Hiro up, that would be it. He's a very smart kid, having been bumped up through his schooling to finish high school at the age of thirteen. Hiro's smart. And he knows it. Which can lead in to him being something of a cocky brat and a bit of a know-it-all as a result. Dismissing the idea of further education and joining his older brother Tadashi in college because what's the point if they are only going to teach him stuff he figures he already knows? Or so he figures, initially at the start of the film. This leads in to him having something of a superior attitude around some people, though to be fair this is also potentially covering up his insecurity around his genius from having been bullied in school when he was able to skip some of it and take classes with older kids. He's shown to be very nervous at his presentation, wondering if he would do well enough to get in with his microbots, requiring reassurance and encouragement from Tadashi and their friends. Probably because this is the first time his genius is really being put to the test, after he breezed through school finding it all rather easy and boring. This is a whole new level, a challenge, something that both terrifies and excites him at the same time.
He's introduced participating in bot-fighting. Not illegal in and of itself, but betting on it? That is. Of course, with his intellect, Hiro's made an impressive bot and is shown hustling opponents in order to get more money out of the matches. Which lands him in a lot of trouble his brother tries to save him from, only to end up arrested as a result. He's a genius, but he's also something of a thrill seeker. And doesn't quite always think things through, living in the moment, as it were. Which isn't always the best combination, obviously. Suffice to say, said genius potential isn't always put to the best use, much to Tadashi and his aunt Cass's dismay and worry, shown in his bot fighting hobby/intended career initially.
Likely unsurprising, but Hiro can actually be somewhat shy and uncertain in his interactions with people, after the bullying he's experienced in the past. Especially in regards to public speaking, when he's presenting his microbots to the convention in hopes of gaining a place into the university if he impresses them enough. He's spent so much of his time just with Tadashi and his aunt or alone working on his bots for his bot-fighting, finding others his age or potentially even a little older something of a bore because he just doesn't have the same interests or average intellect as them. Hence why he seems a bit nervous and unsure at least initially when Tadashi takes him to the lab and introduces him to his friends there. Particularly with Honey Lemon and her immediate enthusiasm and hugs and kisses to his cheeks. Most of the time, he communicates with sass and sarcasm the same way any teenage boy is prone to doing. Which, to be fair, to some degree he likely picked up from Tadashi and in general from needing some means against the bullies throughout his school years - thankfully shorter than most tend to attend for. Another thing he's learned is how to con people, how to play up his 'innocent little kid' look and act if he can get away with it, using this on Yama to hustle him and gain more money from their bot fighting. So there's some level of cunning there as he knows how to play the game and make others severely underestimate him when he wants.
In addition to this, Hiro is nothing if not determined and stubborn once he sets his mind to something. There's presumably something of a period where he takes time to come up with and create the microbots for the presentation, let alone the time it took to make everyone's suits and gear. Yet he kept at it anyway. Once he gets an idea in his head, he goes for it and gives it his all. This passion and stubbornness can be a good thing if channeled correctly, otherwise...not so much, in the instance of how he dealt with Callaghan. There's a reason Hiro works best when he's got a goal, working towards something.
Impulsive is also another word to describe Hiro. He does things simply because he can and because it catches his interest in that particular moment. He's not always thinking on the consequences, or on potentially safer ways of going about things. It's just whatever comes to mind at the time. An examples of this being the idea to get his friends to join him in taking down Yokai, to make them into superheroes, using their skills and knowledge to their advantage to try and catch him themselves without going to the police. Admittedly, to be fair, he did try go to the police earlier, they just hadn't been listening to him. Assuming he was telling tales about some guy in a kabuki mask, followed by his marshmallow robot. Which. Well. Anyone would, right? Thinking Hiro would be pulling their leg with a story like that.
As most teenagers can be, Hiro is also very emotional. This is partly due to generally going through puberty, but also in the heightened emotional state of grief after he loses Tadashi to the fire at the convention. Baymax states this in his diagnosis - puberty. But also takes great care in dealing with this loss and helping Hiro through it. Even in spite of Hiro's recklessness, his emotional outbursts of anger and upset at points once Baymax helps him move past his initial apathetic point of existence following the funeral. When Hiro feels things, he really feels them. In that moment, that emotion right then and there can sometimes eclipse anything else. Which is mostly shown through the film in his anger, his grief. In the scene where Yokai's identity is revealed, Hiro is shocked and betrayed. In that moment, all he can feel is that anger rising inside. He's not thinking of the consequences of his actions when he orders Baymax to 'destroy' the man he sees as responsible for Tadashi's death. He's reacting on pure instinct and emotion, this whole situation far too personal in that moment in time for him to step back and realize what he is actually doing there. It's only afterwards that he can calm down and think about the situation. How Callaghan is reacting just like him in response to thinking his own daughter is dead after the failed Project Silent Sparrow test run.
There's something to be said for that 'saving people thing'. Hiro has it. Taking after Tadashi in this regard in being so self-sacrificing that he was willing to go into the Portal knowing the risks if it meant a chance to save Abigail, Callaghan's daughter. He's still got a long way to go before really figuring this hero thing, but he's trying, and this is a start towards it. There's potential there. Even if it might be partly him trying to emulate Tadashi and what his brother might do in these situations. Whether Hiro is conscious of this or not isn't directly addressed in the film beyond him commenting at one point 'I guess I'm not like my brother.' He still has that same desire to help, given that growth throughout the film, but he goes about it in a different way than Tadashi would have. And there's nothing wrong with that, as he searches to figure his own path and identity.
Flavor Abilities: First and foremost in his 'abilities' is his intelligence. Hiro is a prodigy, having been shown to start doing Tadashi's maths homework at the age of three. Making neurally controlled microbots for his presentation to get accepted to San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, the suits and gear he makes for Baymax and the group as well as himself in order to assist in their capture of Yokai, rebuilding Baymax from Tadashi's notes once he finds he still has the chip.
Besides this genius, he's a decent soccer player as well as a leader of sorts to the Big Hero 6, even if he has yet to really grow into the role with such inexperience. He can think on his feet in a pinch and work out a strategy, if given time, shown when he comes up with the idea to smash all the microbots to send them into the portal where Callaghan couldn't use them against the group.
Suitability: Hiro may be young, an ordinary teenager, but he's been through a lot over the course of the film. He's experienced trauma and loss, losing his parents and his brother, which likely does leave him with nightmares and something of a fear of fire as a result. He's a resourceful kid and cunning in his own way. He made all the microbots and gear for the team out of the garage. He can make do with what is available where necessary.
