Sketch of Hiro Nakamura from Heroes

Yata! Here's my favourite character from my new favourite TV show, Heroes - Hiro Nakamura, played by Masi Oka. As well as playing a loveable, time-and-space-bending superhero, Oka is also a digital effects artist, having worked on the Star Wars prequels and Hulk, among others. Oh and he also played the intern Franklin in Scrubs (I knew I'd seen him somewhere before). Hiro always keeps me laughing with his childlike optimism, and I cracked up when he phoned his company in Japan, and inadvertantly spoke to his past self. Fearing causing a rift in the space-time continuum, he slammed the phone down and came out with a very Japanese-sounding "Great Scott!" It's classic comedy moments like that, and a gripping storyline, which makes Heroes my favourite, over both Lost, which I still watch, but only because it's there, and 24, which has lost the suspense that made the second and third seasons so great. I can only hope Heroes doesn't go the same way. There are some great faces in the show too, I'll draw more when I can.
