Dr Hiro is a high school drop-out (HSDO) in Japan, who has found his calling in Australia as a medical practitioner.

Before graduating from the University of Western Australia with the Doctor of Medicine (MD), he attended Santa Monica College in California (USA), Canning College (Perth) and the University of Western Australia (BSci, Hons). In addition to his unique educational backgrounds, his wide-ranging vocational experiences, including a newspaper boy, a restaurant/hotel/construction/car assembly line worker,  a laboratory technician at Osaka City Univeristy, a research associate at Riken Brain Science Institute, and a Nationally-accreditated tour guide at Uluru (Ayers rock),  have enabled him to look at a life from multi-faceted perspectives, thereby allowing him to relate to his clients in a more person-centred manner.

In his spare time, he fiddles with his guitar, stretching his fingers to master F chord.
