At certain points during the movie, the boy genius allowed his anger to cloud his better judgment and commit acts normally out of the question. However, while Hiro has a kind heart, he is a very complex character, and is far from perfect, engaging in some darker behaviors when highly provoked. Such aspects wouldn't be seen again until the void left by Tadashi's demise is eventually filled by the lovable Baymax, who cares for Hiro in the same sense, forming a strong companionship. When with Tadashi, Hiro's true colors emerge, showing him to be free-spirited, innocently sassy, warm, and ultimately, very loving and appreciative. Even so, he is very compassionate, which, in the beginning, is mostly seen when dealing with his older brother Tadashi, who despite his brotherly nagging, holds a special place in Hiro's heart as the latter's best friend and inspiration. While Tadashi felt that his brother had a greater purpose and should attend college, Hiro believed that he held the knowledge of all that there is to know in the world, or at least all that any school can teach him, showing a strong sense of pride, as well as possible past experiences of school being redundant, unchallenging, and boring for him.ĭespite his bold nature, Hiro has a much softer side to him, as he's shown to sometimes be rather shy in front of crowds and during the process of making new friends, as well as socially awkward at times. He spent much of his time using his technology to win money through illegal bot fight bets (he states that bot-fighting isn't illegal, but betting on it is, though he still did bet on bot-fighting illegally), something on which he prided himself, though his older brother Tadashi heavily disapproved. Because of this, he can be rather brazen and cocky (especially when he was seen to be bored during his bot fight with Yama), but never to the point of being annoying and insufferable. For example, he graduated from high school when he was 13. Hiro Hamada is a young boy with intelligence far beyond his years. 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. Fortunately, his 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. Official Description 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. Tadashi's effort would direct Hiro to the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, which in turn led to the formation of Big Hero 6. Tadashi-who came to act as a surrogate guardian alongside Cass-looked down upon this lifestyle and worked to steer his brother down a better path. He instead spent much of his time participating in illegal bot-fights across the city, where he'd con local gangsters for their money. Although he was very smart in mind, at heart, he was still fourteen and refused to attend college out of arrogance. Over the following decade, Hiro managed to graduate high school when he was thirteen. Following the deaths of their parents, the brothers were raised by their aunt, Cass, in her popular restaurant, the Lucky Cat Café. He and his older brother, Tadashi, were orphaned when the former was only three. Hiro was born in San Fransokyo, and notes that he has never been outside of the city.
