Description and/or Picture: Hiro is a lean teen, obviously hailing from a rough life; he carries himself to project swagger and cool aloofness, but a certain intensity that is intended to act as a shield toward intimidation or hostility. His hair is bright blonde, cut asymmetrically with a buzz on the left-quarter of his head and the rest swept stylishly to the other side, a nod toward post-futuristic or cyberpunk styles. He is athletically-built for speed rather than strength, and wears oversized, baggy clothing that disguises his figure and sags off his waistline.

Biography:
Hiro Tanaka was born to a Japanese immigrant and an unknown American man in Los Angeles, California. His mother would die shortly after giving birth, forcing Hiro into the state's care, a faulty and broken system that regularly exposed children to violence and neglect; as a young child, he would constantly escape and run away from state homes and potential foster families to pursue a life on the street. Eventually, Hiro wound up in a gang in his pre-teens, abandoning formal education and instead falling into the drug trade to make ends meet with his friends and colleagues.

When Hiro's mutation manifested violently, he was expelled from the street gang and forced to retreat back into the state's care, where he was nearly immediately picked up for adoption by a high-minded New York family seeking a mutant child with which to project their public and political image. The Ashford family was good to Hiro, but always with the underlying understanding that he was the "token mutant" of the family, which irritated him even more than their faux charity; however, it did afford him an upper-class lifestyle and the chance for more formal education, two things he took for granted and utilized for selfish gain.

Hiro's bisected background leads him to come off as an impersonator to strangers, but his origins in the gang-, drug-, and violence-riddled Los Angeles that popular culture witnessed in music and film makes his experiences genuine. He is slow to anger but quick to confrontation, not sufficiently educated, and is willing to "settle" easily for a small bit of comfort that does not involve "the street," having escaped it once already.
