Trivia

 * Strangely, Hiro's surname was never mentioned in the unproduced Universal film. He was given two names in the comics and the Disney film: Hiro Takachiho in the comics and Hiro Hamada in the Disney film. It is most likely possible that Hiro was a completely different character from his comic and Disney counterparts because of his different appearance in the unproduced Universal film. Judging by Hiro's different appearance in the unproduced Universal film, fans refer him as "Universal Hiro."
 * Hiro makes a cameo appearance in Woo La La as a character in a manga that Kireina picks up.
 * In Gabriel Garza, there is a student in Gabriel's class that resembles Hiro, a possible reference to Universal's Big Hero 6. The Hiro-like student also makes cameo appearances in Plucky Chicken and Gabriel Garza 2.
