THE FACTS ARE:

1 Hiro can't swim.

2 Hiro said the one thing you must NEVER do is hit a woman.

3 His teeth are (in his opinion) his best facial feature and takes pride in them to the extent that he won't eat candies much because they tend to get stuck in his teeth (he LOVES sweets like no tomorrow though)

4 He LOVES cream breads (like a pastry with cream filling... but it's bread!) and once had a run where he was eating at least one every day.

5 He doesn't have a pillow (maybe different now?) on his bed...

6 The thing he does immediately (or at least first) upon getting home is to remove his clothing (he didn't say whether he puts on other ones or not~ ;D)

7 Hiro says he has no ero-hon or AVs in his home.... (ero-hon being like porn mags, etc and AV being pornos [AV=adult video])

8 If his friend had a girlfriend that he liked, he would not do anything to steal her away from him.

9 The quality he hates in a girl(friend) is when she becomes irritated rather than outwardly being angry. Just being angry is better.

10 His fav american actor is Brad Pitt, he is truly fascinated by him and would love to become the Brad Pitt of Japan.

11 He watched Dave Chappelle's "The Block Party" and really liked it.

12 Hiro has a long scar on his left cheek from a fight he had with his sister when he was 4. He actually left a scar on her too, but he later regretted it.

13 When Hiro was in kindergarten, he was a fast runner and when he won, all his friends would rush and congratulate him. As a result, he started crying because he was afraid of everyone mobbing him.

14 He can't cook.

15 He has a dog named Richie.

16 Mizushima Hiro was born in a hospital in Tokyo on 13 April 1984. (It happens to be the National Thai New Year's Day!!)

His mom was in labor for his elder sister, who's 3 years older than him, for 33 hours. But for Hiro, it's swift, only 3 hours were enough.

And the second he came out into this world, he smiled, his mom told him.

17 He said he didn't do anything to it but his hair style resembled that of David Beckham's already. 

18 Hiro weighed 3,000 grams at birth. In good health and cheerful. He always smiled and was always in a very good mood. 

19 When he's 3-4 years old he's a total cry-baby. He cried all the time! 

20 His family moved to Switzerland before he even entered grade school due to his father's work. One day his father said they're going out to dinner, Hiro was so happy he smiled all the way there. But when they reached the restaurant his father broke the news of going to have to stay abroad for 5-6 years. He didn't fully understand but he just felt he didn't want to go so he cried again. 

21 He went to an International school with no knowledge of English. Whenever someone approached him he always thought they'd tease and made fun of him. He was so pessimistic, a typical cry-baby, he said.
