Hiro Nakamura, played by Masi Oka on NBC's Heroes, is a programmer at Yamagato Industries in Tokyo, Japan who is bored with his monotomous job. He's a huge science-fiction nerd and a dreamer who loves the idea of having powers, but finds out there's a lot more to it than he expected.

Powers

Hiro discovers he has the ability to affect the space/time continuum, stopping or slowing time with sheer power of will.

Hiro can time travel great lengths at once, but he has little control over how much time elapses when he teleports.
