So much so that, as Chris Williams explains, “there are moments when there’s real emotion that seems to poke through without breaking the rules of Baymax being a robot.” Adsit was chosen by the directors for his sharp timing and his ability to bring comedy and even humanity to the character. Scott Adsit (of 30 Rock fame) provides the voice of Hiro’s robot companion, Baymax. When a tragic event changes everything, Hiro turns to a robot named Baymax, and they form an unbreakable bond-and two-sixths of a band of high-tech heroes on a very important mission. Fortunately, big brother Tadashi redirects Hiro’s brilliance, inspiring him to put his brain to the test in a quest to gain admission to the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Robotics prodigy HIRO HAMADA has the mind of a genius-and the heart of a 14-year-old: his state-of-the-art battle-bots dominate the underground bot fights held in the dark corners of San Fransokyo. Hiro is confirmed as being half-Japanese, half-Caucasian and the red circles on the gloves of his flight suit allow him to magnetically connect to Baymax’s back and as such they act as a tag team in battle. Hiro Hamada (voiced by Ryan Potter)įirst up was Hiro Hamada, voiced by Ryan Potter (Nickelodeon’s Supah Ninjas). Late last night, in an exclusive reveal to USA Today, Big Hero 6‘s directors Don Hall and Chris Williams gave an in-depth rundown on each of the main characters making up the titular team.

When Adsit offered his costars the chance to fill in the blank after "Big Hero 6 has been.", Potter was quick to remark that "it has been representative of so many voices and it was cool to see all of that represented on screen."Īdsit answered his own question saying, "It has been very uplifting for me who see characters who are smart and aren't ashamed of it and use their smarts to make the world, and each other, better." The entire cast nodded in unison when Rodriguez described the series as "childhood dreams accomplished." The mood was warm and excited as the voice actors asked one another questions such as, "who is most likely to have a special handshake" (which was answered with "Payton"), and "who is most likely to own a Baymax plushy" ("Chung").
