Dr. Hiro Hamada
Totally, 100% normal Professor at SFIT with absolutely ZERO dabbling in a double life. Or triple...
Dr. Hamada is not only the reigning king in robotics research, but also in the study of electro-magnets and their fields. It was such expertise that caught Dr. Robinson’s attention when compiling Building Thirteen.
Of the Decipher crew, Hiro is on team Skeptic in regards to the various fields of the paranatural- magical, alien or otherwise. Despite such, he is willing to keep an open mind for explanations to the odd phenomenon’s he’s witnessed, and trusts his coworkers to be experts in their fields. It helps that a big part of the Crew (particularly Dipper) is dedicated to putting the time and effort to explain how things like “spells” and “gnomes” work in a scientific sense instead of “it’s magic!” sense.
Even so, he still has a lot on his plate.
Balancing 2 jobs and superheroing is near impossible- even if you do have access to extremely questionable time-traveling interdimensional doorways. (Particularly with his prior experience with portals...)
When Granville offered Hiro a chance to keep researching at SFIT. He thought it would be just that.
Researching.
Than he looked closer at his contract. And swore.
Now he teaches Robotics 2 days a week to students that are just as old as he is. Due to nervousness, inexperience, and one horrendous email typo, he’s gotten a reputation of a being a bit of an a****** teacher.
His students, not wanting to loose the limited class time they do have with, help spread and strengthen with rumors with wild stories taken out of context. (He’s unaware of this.)
Luckily he’s not the only new professor at SFIT for the students to swarm.
All of this is in addition to protecting the city from weirdos and the new influx of newbie heroes, things have gotten incredibly (hehe) chaotic. Luckily, he’s got ways of balancing things out.
At least Aunt Cass has finally hired some new full time hands to help her out with the Cafe, now that he and Tadashi can’t help out as much.
