|CHARACTERISTICS|
Personality: Other monks call Hiroto unorthodox and because of this reason the position of monk was withheld from him for many years. Unlike his fellow brother and sister airbenders he is not that much of a pacifist and carries a katana to prove it. He has little patience and the littlest thing can get him going. Despite his quick temped Hiroto is a very quick learned and a strong fighter. He loves airbending and will follow the lifestyle it forces until the day he dies.
Personal Strengths: Physically fit, strong in different fighting styles from bending to weapon mastery, willing to fight for a cause, determined when given a challenge, and does not care what others think of him.
Personal Weaknesses: Little patience (unable to mediate for hours), quick to anger, can sometimes disobey his fellow monks, goes against most authority figures, lack of respect for most people, and unwillingness to follow the laws.
Personal Hero: His master.
Dreams and Ambitions: To continue his life as a monk and train as many pupils as he can.

Likes: Fighting, swords, rebels, teaching/training, and the feeling he gets while bending

Dislikes: Certain monks in the order, meditating, staying in one place for to long, and does not approve of some rules of conduct of the Air Monks

Brief History:[/list]

Hiroto was born in the Northern Air Temple to a middle class family and ever since he was a baby he was destined to become an airbender. Airbending has been passed down by every generation and for the first few years of his life his family feared that is had stopped with Hiroto. Since this was a very serious case he was sent at the age of five to the monks for training and meditation. There he was constant trouble and was even sent back home a few times, but with his consistent family the monks accepted him every time. Then at the age of seven he displayed his first act of airbending by knocking over a few monks while in a session. From there his journey to become a monk began.

Every year that he spent in the temple brought him closer to the art of airbending and even the life of a monk. Through these years, more importantly his teenage years, Hiroto had a great resentment of authority. The majority of the monks saw this simply as teenage angst and continued his training. But Hiroto grew up and as he continued to learn inside the temple walls his personality did not change. His disrespect for authority became worse and he was even kicked out of the Northern Air Temple and forced to go back home.

Luckily a monk from the Southern Air Temple saw the abilities in Hiroto and took the eighteen year old under his wing. This monk became his master and even a father figure to Hiroto. The monk was the only person Hiroto could respect so he decided to follow the monk to the Southern Air Temple. There he was able to focus more on his lessons and by the age of twenty-three he attempted to become a monk. Since he still did not obey the rules all of his attempt were denied. After years of trying he ended up calling it quits and decided to continue his training with his master. Then at the age of twenty-five he was granted monk status after his master spoke to the monks.

From there he finished training with his master, who died later that year, and took on his own pupils. Hiroto continues to teach large classes of students, but longs for a real pupil of his own. Hiroto appeals to the older monks for this, but is still being denied due to his radical beliefs and views on the life they live. Now, Hitoro can be seen wondering about the Southern Air Temple teaching lessons or training in the mountains or fields.
