Hirano possesses a genuinely sincere and communicative personality. He humbly listens to others' inquiries and explains the overview of development techniques, often conducting thorough inspections of his own tasks. As the responsible individual, he exhibits a high level of professional competence in development technology.
In contrast to those who hesitate to admit their mistakes, Hirano appears notably mature. He and his team bravely confront their errors, drawing lessons from them.

==History==
===Pre-Ultraman Blazar===
Due to the increasing incidents of modern monster disasters, as the head of the Weapons Development Department, Hirano and his team primarily engage in the planning and development of new weaponry for GGFJ. They conduct regular exercises to test the performance, ensuring the firepower and other capabilities of the weapons.
In a recent trial, Hirano selected the Mt. Kirino training ground in Ichinoji Village, Akita Prefecture, to test the new automated self-defense electromagnetic cannon system, "Mega Shot." According to Hirano, the Mega Shot boasts a speed of up to Mach 5 and the ability to fire 30 rounds per minute. As a result, this weapon has come under close scrutiny from higher-ups at GGFJ.
However, according to the response from a local resident named Mizuho, Mt. Kirino is actually the resting place of the local guardian deity "Dorgo." Due to GGF's demolition of the original shrine that worshipped Dorgo in order to construct Mega Shot and establish a supply fleet, earthquakes have been occurring frequently in the vicinity of Mt. Kirino in recent weeks.
Although there was no prior research into the legend of Dorgo, as a precaution, Hirano still followed Mizuho's suggestion and conducted detailed land inspections before construction. However, no signs of life were detected during the reconnaissance. In reality, this was a measure taken by Dorgo to conserve energy by suppressing its life functions. Unfortunately, this also led GGF to unwittingly install Mega Shot on Dorgo's back.

Before SKaRD arrived to inspect the test site, Mega Shot was activated for practical performance assessment tests in conjunction with Earth Garon. However, the intense vibrations caused by the exercises led to the awakening of Dorgo. This development surprised Hirano considerably, and he found himself puzzled by Dorgo's reawakening. Upon assessing the situation, they realized that Mega Shot had stopped receiving signals, leading to an uncontrolled situation.
Consequently, after entrusting the task of dealing with Dorgo to SKaRD, Hirano closely monitored Dorgo's movements alongside Mizuho. However, due to an issue involving a fire in the backup power supply, Hirano had to temporarily leave the makeshift command center.
During the battle, when Ultraman Blazar restrained Dorgo, Anri successfully returned the sacred object to its original position, allowing Dorgo to return to its slumber. Subsequently, Gento informed Hirano that, after conducting a brainwave scan, they confirmed Dorgo had reentered its hibernation state. Through this unexpected event, Hirano also gained a profound understanding of the importance of balancing technological development and environmental considerations. He emphasized that the members of the Weapons Development Department identified numerous areas for improvement and assured that in the future, every development would be accompanied by comprehensive risk assessments. They are determined to continue their efforts with renewed vigor.
During the Gebalga campaign, Hirano and members of the Weapons Development Department developed a Long Barrel Type Mega Shot. They collaborated with SKaRD to implement a project in which the completed Mega Shot was mounted on a Tilsonite Spear and used to fire at Gebalga by Earth Garon.
