Basics

Description

When Hiroki was just a baby, he was dropped off at an orphanage in Radiant Garden. A few years later, he made his one and only friend from the orphanage, Aoba. Aoba quickly became like a brother to him, someone to rely on for advice and protection. He lived at that orphanage for 6 years. Despite not being treated too poorly by the caretakers, and also having Aoba, darkness still festered inside his heart from his feelings about being abandoned as a baby.

At six, he and Aoba were picked up by Squall Leonhart and taken to Yen Sid's tower. At first, they didn't know why they were there, if they'd been adopted or what. Yen Sid gave each of them rooms, and soon they met Master Riku. Hiro was amazed by Riku, and begged him to be his teacher. Riku bashfully agreed, and later on, Aoba was also taken in to be trained.

Eventually, another boy was taken to the tower to train and live with them. His name was Katsuo and he claimed to have been raised with a group of ruffians called the Lost Boys. They became fast friends, Hiro feeling a powerful bond forming with him. He often compared it to Sora and Riku's bond, even though theirs was a romantic one. Later he realized that he did that because it was romantic.

The three of them became an unlikely trio, travelling and training together, their bonds growing unbreakable.
