When they learned they had taken on some bad coal, Henry did not want to carry on. However, he still pulled goods trains elsewhere on Sodor, such as the day he was tasked with delivering two goods trains to the docks with Henry. He later pushed Henry to the Steamworks to have his side-rods repaired and when Hiro became homesick, Thomas took him to Misty Island, which reminded Hiro of his home.Įver since the introduction of the Vicarstown Bridge in the television series, Hiro has been shown travelling back and forth between Sodor and the Mainland, often pulling heavy goods trains. When Jobi Wood was being delivered to the Docks for the construction of the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre, Hiro told Thomas about where it came from. However, he made up for his mistakes by telling the engines to go to Knapford and await orders from the Fat Controller. So, he tried to help the Fat Controller by giving out the orders - but he only succeeded in becoming "Master of the Muddle". Later on, Hiro saw the Fat Controller and assumed he was too busy to give orders to his engines. However, Thomas took Hiro's advice after taking Hiro's flower truck to get the bees back to their hives. Shortly after his return, Hiro told Thomas to take the load of bees through the woods, which Thomas ignored. But, Hiro told Thomas that having his friends at the party was the best welcome present. Upon his arrival, Hiro went to the Steamworks to be examined and then went to Knapford station for his welcome party, which was almost delayed as Thomas was trying to find a welcome present for Hiro instead of telling the other engines about the party. Hiro eventually came back to Sodor when the engines needed help with the summer holiday traffic. Despite everything, Hiro had grown homesick, so the Fat Controller arranged for him to be sent back to his homeland. Once Hiro was restored, he helped Spencer after his accident and worked with him and Thomas to finish the Duke and Duchess of Boxford's summer house. When the Fat Controller found out about the situation, Hiro was brought to the Sodor Steamworks, where Victor oversaw his restoration. After breaking down again while trying to avoid Spencer, Hiro was hidden away in another siding, where the engines visited him and kept him company. Thomas also had the rest of the Steam Team help in the restoration and Hiro quickly gained their friendship. Thomas eventually found him and fearing Hiro would be scrapped if he was not Really Useful, promised to bring him back to his former glory while keeping him a secret from the Fat Controller. However, the parts never came and Hiro was all but forgotten. To escape being scrapped, he was put on a siding to wait for the parts to come from his homeland. However, he began to show his age and break down and the workmen did not have the necessary parts to repair him. He was eventually brought to Sodor as the island's first and oldest engine, where he worked for many years. He was the strongest engine on his railway and was famously known as the "Master of the Railway". Hiro once lived on an unnamed railway in Japan.
