- (Oka on playing the character Hiro) Oka: I love collaborating and the writers have been so generous and open to let me improvise.
  Edit Share Hide
- Oka: The biggest thing, you know, is that he gets to live his dream of being a superhero, which is something he's dreamt of being all his life, and I get to live the dream of being on a great show, working with so many people and touching so many lives.

- (On why his mother chooses to stay in Japan rather than accompany him to the Emmy Awards) Masi: My mom is actually very superstitious. She tells me every time she's in Japan, she gets good news, like 'I got nominated for a Golden Globe,' or 'I got nominated for an Emmy.' Anytime she's in the states, she gets bad news, like, 'I want to be an actor.'
