History
Though an actor rather than a trained fighter, Hidero showed real nerve when he snatched up a sword to shield the princess, hinting at both courage and a passing skill with a blade. He first turns up resting between takes with his co-stars Kin and Michy, passing the time with Team 7 and the director, and grumbling that he can only hope their frosty destination, the Land of Snow, comes with some heating. On screen he plays Shishimaru, joining Kin and Michy to summon their rainbow chakra and topple the Armoured Warriors along with their leader. When shooting the follow-up film, his character is written to die, leaving the Princess he served stricken with grief.
