Hiro is the son of Japanese immigrants, who came to Los Angeles shortly after their marriage. The youngest of his four siblings, Hiro began playing soccer with his two brothers at a young age. He only began playing football in high school, when a sudden growth spurt saw him recruited by a football coach that passed by a soccer team lifting session in the school gym. Hiro is hopeful to use his football talent to further his academic career and land a spot at a top school on his path to his dream job: an economics professor at the London School of Economics.
