Biography
The Stuff

And most of his professions mundanely (U.S. Navy, U.S. Army, Security Officer) allow him the opportunity to use those fancy moves on unsuspecting assholes he encounters that are looking for a fight. That does not mean that Hiro is ALWAYS looking for a fight, but he is always ready for one. Hiro also stresses the importance of solid footwork and arm stamina when training with weapons. And he don't mind a little extra weight on his weapons, unlike some folks. But that's because he's buff!

Now for the flurby stuff...
Hiro Matsuzaka is a ronin and former captain of the sunken ship Kumiko, which had shipwrecked near the Burning Lands shores. Losing all of his equipment while his ship went down, he was forced to improvise clothing and weapons quickly. He fashioned himself makeshift clothes from the sails of the ship and managed to make some suitable weapons from driftwood on the beach.
Undaunted and prepared, he carried himself into the Burning Lands, where he met, befriended, and joined the duo of Tidus and Lurker, themselves on their own quests.
Hiro, due to injuries sustained during the loss of his ship, to include the loss of his eye, is driven to gain a ship and fight the sea monsters that plague the shores of Burning Lands for a measure of vengeance. Hiro actually abhors violence, though he will engage in violence when his morals and principles are violated (Attempted genocide of Elves, strong-arm oppression of kingdom subjects, ect...)

Hiro is also the current Dragonmaster (February 2015 - Present), and is more than happy to build weapons for Burning Landers to use in the upcoming war. His goal during the war is to assassinate the King of Dragonspine with one of the weapons he has made personally. Whether Hiro wields it or not is a matter of timing and convenience.
