He has pale skin, and bowl-shaped light blue-hair, blue eyes and can be seen usually with a small smile on his face. His frame is small compared to many samurai as well, having a lack of defining muscular traits due to the hidden qualities of his body such as his legs. His legs are "cut" and exceptionally powerful, made strapping by his preference of combat. He usually wears peasant garbs, such as a green plain haori with the sleeves cut-off so that he could move more comfortably, showing his arms. Usually, he wears a gray hakama too, tied in a red sash. He carries a travelers sack behind his back due to constantly traveling, that while in Tetsu, is not seen unless he is planning on going once more. He also wears steel-bottomed wooden sandals, which he is capable of reinforcing with chakra. ► Mental Assessment ► likes Martial Arts. Freedom. Serene Atmosphere. Competition.

He practiced daily as his parents demanded, and tried his hardest to become skilled at the art, but even rookies in the ability of kenjutsu could best him in sparring and thus he had gave up on the idea of becoming a samurai and decided to look for other ways to be useful. Though he was unskilled at kenjutsu, he had a natural skill in martial arts against opponents, having been able to fight without weapons in spars or turn around fights with his martial skills. He also learned how to fine-tune his chakra, a skill he thought more important than learning kenjutsu thanks to its properties and uses. In this case, he decided to instead put his attention into hand-to-hand martial arts and after a year, created a martial art in battle in order to fight on par with his friends and peers in battle completely ridding himself of his swordsmanship and only keeping his sword to identify him as a samurai thanks to these swords being "special" compared to your average sword and was used as a basis of knowing who lived within the village much like an ID. As he got better with his martial arts and granted a focus on his legs, he began to train them to become as powerful as they could despite his small seeming frail body. Usually in secret, even though he still practiced swordsmanship to appease his proud parents of their own heritage. He couldn't bare to tell them his secret and thus practiced only because they wished for him to. His father had begun to catch on to his son though, deciding to test his skill for himself. He would tell him to spar with him on a random day, making it his way of assessing his abilities. Through this he would tell him about the Tatsumi Clan, and how they had always been righteous swordsmen in battle, of which Hiro almost sweated himself to death. In the fight as he tried to go against his father who was pushing him further and further with insults and questions, he'd done the unthinkable instead throwing his sword away and kicking his father in the stomach to show his frustration, telling him how he felt. However, his father was a proud man, and decided to denounce him from the family because his swordsmanship was sub-par even though he had a powerful kick and he'd thrown his sword away even though to any "true" samurai it was considered a "warrior's soul". Thus, he was banished from the Tatsumi household, only keeping his name Hiro. He would begin his life on his own within the Iron Village. Thanks to being incapable of using a blade, some of his peers and other traditional martial artists made fun of him, making him wish to work harder after his dishonorable discharge from his family. However, after being pushed too far by a samurai, he had used his skill in battle to trash and defeat them, thoroughly earning him and those men time in jail for what they had done, in which there would be no unauthorized combat within the village. Due to his discharge from his family name, he was given a harsher punishment. It had been a year since then, of which his spirit had toughened up, withholding himself from criminal acts in regards to his freedom. He was placed on a job as soon as he was out as well, seeing just how he could be use in a community of samurai, with his non-use of samurai skills. Considered the black sheep, he was placed on a body-guarding mission that if failed would lead him to banishment. Life was truly hard for the young man, as he had to work to protect a high-profile calligrapher. Needless to say it was a turning point in his life, becoming less of a vagrant and more heroic as they had conversations about life and the freedom of choices between people. He had sulked and became angry over the past two years he'd left his family. He was moving down a dark path and she had seen it coming for him, and if he didn't change that hatred would only become of him and he would use his talents as a fighter for evil purposes. He took her words to heart as they got into many dangerous situations, and it made him think about the finer things and after successfully passing his mission, his personality would have a drastic change. Living his life the way he wished. As time passed, he had perfected his martial skills and had set the parameters for his emotional and realistic views, taking it to himself to make his own path without his past he chose to leave it. Within this, he began to also nurture his style, instead focusing on making it something more than just his own martial art, he dreamed of opening his own dojo and allowing for his style to be realized to the world the "Steel Leg" being his ultimate premise of gaining his own reputation without his name. Due to certain tasks, and his greatly improved skills in combat; he would be upgraded to Lieutenant in the Samurai thanks to tenacity. Due to his views, people would also begin to somewhat respect him more despite his situation with his family. In due time however, his father would step in after seeing that he rose to Lieutenant and had decided to voice his opinions on his son being such a high position despite not using a sword. Hiro had nothing to say towards the man, as he had all but loss interest in his families ordeals in trying to pursue their next heir and basically requested that he showed him by fighting him in battle. His father had agreed as they picked the next day to showcase the strength that had been given to the young male from the past through years. During this time, Hiro had shown himself capable of fighting on par with his father, who had much experience in battle. Showcasing his powerful martial arts style and relentlessly beating his father due to both the inner hatred he had for him for forsaking him early on, showing that he had not quite forgotten about such things. In recognition to this, his father had decided to use his "Samurai Sabre" technique and had beat his son with a strike from a ranged chakra blade, telling him that it was a technique that showed the pride of the Samurai, of which Hiro had gotten angry from. Realizing his weakness, Hiro had decided to use what he'd developed from training within the samurai all those years ago, in a way to develop the samurai sabre technique into his arsenal of kicks instead of just mindlessly training his legs to be stronger. Many months had passed since he started training, developing a combination of ways to progressively understand how the samurai sabre technique worked, and also getting sandals made with "special" steel on the bottoms and shin's in order to block weapons and release to samurai sabre technique in a unique way instead of the traditional way. He would ask to fight his father once more, actually thanking him for what he thought him despite everything, as he had developed a new way of fighting. He used the samurai sabre technique in tandem with his fathers samurai sabre "shockwave" technique which was equal in power. With this, he began to fight his father on equal footing once more, and would win against him, watching his father with a relieved look on his face telling him that "he'd transcended tradition to become his own man". Needless to say, his father was speechless though liked how much initiative Hiro had shown, telling him that he earned his respect and wished him well on "transcending the limits of tradition". He'd grown older, wiser and stronger as a fighter, having developed his leg strength to the idea of "legend". He had became a Captain a few years after this fight, after showing understanding of himself and his strength in battle. He would become the first ever samurai to not have a sword to do so, thanks to a special request from his father, and a multitude of other Captains. Hiro after getting this promotion would decide to become an informant to the General in order to keep tabs on the world outside of Iron Village. That if they were ever in war, he would come back to fight with his fellow Samurai by any means. This would allow him to travel and possibly fight other strong competitors which intrigued Hiro. He'd taken the offer to do so as a result.
