Known as a Japanese model and actor. He was born in Tokyo almost 26 years ago with real name Saito Tomohiro. Young Hiro lived in Switzerland for 6 years due to his father's work. He studied at an international elementary school, which explain why his English is quite good compared to other Japanese actors. He returned to Japan after the sixth grade, and in Junior High School he start to play soccer seriously. His team ever won second place in national tournament. Unfortunately he got an serious injury when he was in high school and he finally decided to quit soccer once he played in the national stadium.
Hiro entered Keio University majoring Integrated Policy, but at that time he was interested in fashion and want to study this thing better in New York. He didn't have much money to live abroad, so he started to work as a model. After half a year being a model, he wasn't comfortable for being judged by appearance only, so he started to do acting.
His debut was Gokusen 2 in 2005. He played a very-small-role, I couldn't find any dialogue that he did in this drama. He played as supporting actor in many dramas and a few movies until 2007 (except Kamen Rider Kabuto), but apparently his most impressive and unforgettable role was Nanba Senpai in Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (it is so subjective, I know). He started to play as a lead role in the following dramas; Zettai Kareshi and Tokyo Dogs. And this year, his upcoming film 'Beck' will be release soon.
