Greatest Fictional Angelenos #6: Hiro Protagonist

August 10, 2006 at 5:36 pm in Fictional LA

Name: Hiro Protagonist
Residence: one of the Burbclaves
Area code: What? Who’s franchising those?
Former Occupation: Pizza delivery boy for Uncle Enzo’s CosaNostra Pizza
Current Occupation: hacker, swordsman, co-inventer of the metaverse, intelligence broker

All hopped up on his quest for Snow Crash – is it a computer virus or a real-world drug? It’s both!

Hobbies include researching Sumerian mythology and spending time with Y.T. (aka Yours Truly).

Although he’s a member and friend of Mr. Lee’s Greater Hong Kong franchise, his wallet is still pitifully light on Kongbucks.

Woo! Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson goodness. Hiro is an awesome character. In fact, that book was full of awesome characters. Rock on!

“I’m with The Daniel on this one.”

In hating me? Or in loving Hiro?

What’s with the bagging on Ruth? I think there needs to be a sorry involved here. That could have been shared in private and not on the comments.
