Hiroshi Randa

Hiroshi Randa is a supporting character in the MonsterVerse franchise, first appearing as a major character in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.

==History==
===Background===
Hiroshi Randa was born around 1951 to 1952 to Kiko Randa and her first husband. As a baby, he lost his biological father due to unknown causes and instead grew up to see his mother's second husband William Randa as his own father. He also views Lee Shaw as an honorary uncle and a second father-figure. When Parents and Shaw went on excursions due to their jobs as monarch agents, Hiro was often raised by his maternal grandparents. However, when Hiroshi was young, his mother was seemingly killed by the endoswarmers during an excursion to do a M.U.T.O. hunt in the Kazakh countryside. 
===Monarch: Legacy of Monsters===
==Personality==
==Relationships==
===Keiko Randa===
===William Randa===
Despite not being biologically related, Bill came to care about Hiroshi as if he were his own. Their relationship became strained when Keiko did not survive her encounter with the swarmers and Lee was transported 20 years into the future. Near the end of his lifetime, Bill realized he had neglected his son all these years. This caused Hiroshi to deeply resent his father.
In Monarch: Legacy of Monsters "Aftermath", he tries to make an apocalyptic log for his stepson, expressing sorrow for his mistakes and not paying enough attention to his child. Unfortunately, Bill dropped the camera when he was running away from his mother Longlegs. Hiroshi eventually found The surviving footage when it found its way back to the outside world, and watched it on his own, apparently coming to forgive his father for his past actions. 
===Cate and Kentaro Randa===
For unknown reasons, Hiro married two different women, Caroline and Emiko and fathered two children. Upon learning their father was living a double life both Cate and Kentaro resented Hiro for keeping them from each other. 
In 2017, Kentaro was reluctantly partnered up with Hiro but only was doing so he could save his sister. 
===Lee Shaw===
Lee was one of the few fatherly figures and honorary uncle towards Hiro growing up, even calling him uncle and Lee giving him his lucky pocketknife for safekeeping before departing with his grandmother. Not long after, Hiroshi learned from William that Lee had supposedly died during the catastrophic descent to the Hollow Earth. However, in the 1980s, Lee and Hiro are unexpectedly reunited when the former holds a nurse Emiko hostage. 
Like Keiko, Hiro was likely devastated by Lee's sacrifice when he saved Keiko, Cate, and May. 
==Trivia==
*Hiro being married to two women mirrors how Cate was dating one of her coworkers while having an affair with another woman. However, she came to regret her actions and ended up breaking up with them, putting her own self-loathing onto her resentment towards her father for keeping her brother a secret from her.
