Hiroshi is a Shinjuku-based Hunter and is the oldest active member within the Hunter Association. He has an amiable and laid-back temperament which contrasts his seniority amongst the rest of the association.

Gameplay

In the Challenge Quest Where the Corpse Went, Hiroshi becomes an extra party member for the fight against Izanami, acting at the start of the player's turn. He can perform the following actions which are chosen by the player: attack, which deals around 135-165 damage and removes the smirk status; heal, which heals the party for around 200-300 HP; support, which will buff the party's attack and magic attack by 1; and wait, which passes his turn.

Game Appearances

Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse

Hiroshi approaches Nanashi before he can turn in the Challenge Quest [Int] Investigate Tokyo Dome. He introduces himself then asks to see the pictures Nanashi had taken at Tokyo Dome. If Nanashi obliges, Hiroshi discloses his own assignment to take care of the ghosts though he appears to be struggling to pinpoint their location. Upon examination, he is shocked by something he sees in the photos, though he does not elaborate further. He thanks Nanashi, albeit visibly shaken, and leaves.

He reappears in the Challenge Quest Defeat the Ghosts as the other Hunter contacted by the quest client the Patriots. Once Nanashi arrives at Shinobazu Pond, Hiroshi spots him and tells him to leave, not wanting a kid to get involved. When the Patriots reveal that Nanashi was the other Hunter they contacted, he does not oppose their decision; instead, he states that the trio of men never change and leaves to deal with the ghosts. He later reappears before Nanashi, wounded and with a horde of demons chasing him. After Nanashi defeats the horde, he is distressed at having seen a woman named Noa. She appears shortly after, correcting Hiroshi on her name: she is no longer Noa but rather the remnants of a man named Tamagami. Hiroshi recognizes the name as the man who was the cabinet minister 25 years ago and was responsible for the creation of the National Defense Divinities, which involved human experimentation. He is further disgusted when Tamagami justifies the experimentation by stating the humans used were on death row, as Noa had been innocent. As Tamagami delivers a monologue about saving Japan from the foreign powers invading it, Hiroshi warns Nanashi to leave while he still can, but the two are caught in a battle with Tamagami.

After Tamagami is defeated, Hiroshi berates the Patriots for their late arrival. But he finds comfort in having found Noa after so long, giving himself closure on if she was truly gone or not. After the Patriots shatter the jar housing Tamagami's remains, he asks if he can take Noa's body and bury her out of respect after all the abuse she had experienced then departs to do so.
