While doing his stint on Howard Stern’s talk show, the legendary actor George Takei, who works as Howard’s star announcer, made a startling announcement.
Takei revealed that his character on “Heroes” — Kaito Nakamura, the father of Masi Oka’s Hiro, has powers of his own that will be made manifest in the second season of the highly acclaimed, award winning NBC show. “Kaito will exhibit some form of light-emitting powers”, declared Takei.
Tim Kring, the series producer and creator stated that this should come as no real surprise to those who have closely followed the series since it debuted last season.
“For those people who were watching closely, they’ve realized that there is this other generation of people, parents like the Petrellis’ mother and Linderman and Richard Roundtree’s character and George Takei, all those characters represented another generation of people who dealt with these same issues,” Kring said. “Season 2 will deal with some of the legacy that they’ve left behind, some of the mess they’ve left behind for the next generation to fix, so there’s a big thematic as far as that in the sins of the parents being visited on the childen.”
