Despite the anime’s array of fan-favorite characters, Hiro Sohma is often seen as the most disliked and unlikable character in the entireFruits Basketcast.
Hiro is prickly, easily annoyed, and skilled at making sarcastic comments and complaints. He tends to insult others and often delivers snarky remarks. His hypocrisy shows in how he despises constant complaining yet engages in it himself.
While Hiro is generally serious and level-headed, his quick temper and lack of emotional maturity often lead him into trouble. Initially, he was rude to Tohru, making harsh comments about her weaknesses, and his stubbornness only added to his unlikable demeanor.
Despite his arrogant attitude and tendency to act superior to others, Hiro’s behavior ultimately harms his character, making him increasingly unlikable to fans.
Hiro and Kisa were never officially confirmed to be a couple, although one scene at the conclusion ofFruits Basketdepicting them with their arms interlinked has sparked some debate.
Hiro is more blunt and outspoken, while Kisa is gentle and shy, and their personalities seem to mesh well.
Along with the rest of the Sohma family and other key supporting characters,Fruits Basketis filled with lovable personalities. Without Tohru, Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure at the heart of the story, it wouldn’t have had the same impact on its fans.
