Hiro Hamada is the main protagonist of Disney's Big Hero 6 franchise. He is the main protagonist of Disney's 54th full-length animated feature film Big Hero 6, and its sequel series Big Hero 6: The Series. He is also a supporting character in Baymax!.
He is an extremely intelligent, yet misguided, young teen from the city of San Fransokyo, who used his intellect to participate and win the illegal botfights, until he is put in the right path by his brother Tadashi, who convinces him to enter the same institute of technology he entered and use his abilities for the best. After thinking a lot about a project special enough to enter the institute, he created the microbots, an army of thousands of versatile mini-robots who do anything that ordered by who's wearing a special neuro-transmissor. Despite managing to enter the institute, a tragic fire happened, which caused the loss of Tadashi.
Depressed, Hiro discovered that his brother's greatest invention, Baymax, a medical robot with more than 10.000 medical and healthcare procediments installed in him, was in his room, and, because of Baymax misunderstanding Hiro's wishes, he ends up discovering the microbots weren't destroyed and that the fire was set up by someone. After upgrading Baymax to be a fighter to avenge his brother, Hiro would later team up with his brother's friends, all armed and armored with weapons and armors based on the inventions created by themselves, to help stop the fire starter. Later, they'd continue to team up and would form a group to protect San Fransokyo, known as Big Hero 6.
He was voiced by Ryan Potter.

What Prevents Him From Being Pure Good?[]

- He still has some moments of being inconsiderate and ignorant, such as consistently procrastinating on his homework (especially when it comes to taking care of Professor Granville’s dogs), casually throwing his phone away and breaking a glass cup.
