Protagonist of [i][[DARLING in the FRANXX]][/i]. Nickname is based on his designation as "Code:016".

His [[aged down]] self is most often depicted wearing a [[fur-trimmed coat]] with a [[parka]], which is a [[grey coat]] that is also a [[winter coat]]. His [[boots]] are also  [[fur-trimmed boots]] as well. 

Hiro also [spoiler] grows a pair of [[blue horns]] [/spoiler] later in the series, in episode 17. Because that last element of Hiro's character design is a spoiler in itself, pictures of Hiro with that late addition to his appearance [i]must[/i] be tagged with [[spoilers]]. 

Along with [[zero_two_(darling_in_the_franxx)|Zero Two]], the pair pilot the Franxx [[Strelizia]].
