Hiro was a whiz kid.

Masi Oka, who plays Hiro on Heroes, was featured on a Time magazine cover in 1987 when he was just 12. He used to work for Industrial Light and Magic.

If Hiro was time travelling back to 1987, why did he look younger there? I guess we'll find out in a future episode.

You may now giggle at the other meaning of "whiz" in "whiz kid." I know you were thinking about that.
