Otsu (大津市 Ōtsu-shi) is a small village in Japan. It is located about five miles from Kyoto, and is considered a central and strategic location in Japan. The village is quite near Osaka, the birthplace of Hiro Nakamura, and both are in the Kansai or Kinki region of Japan.
According to legend, the hero Takezo Kensei defended the village from bandits and, in so doing, fell in love with the daughter of the village's swordsmith. In 1671, Hiro Nakamura inadvertently prevents Kensei from defeating the bandits, and the village is razed. (Four Months Later)

How to Stop an Exploding Man
After being thrown by Sylar's telekinesis, Hiro quickly teleports before crashing into the building behind him. He finds himself outside Kyoto, Japan in 1671. Hiro hears the sound of a few Japanese soldiers, readying their bow and arrows and preparing to attack. He starts to run from the soldiers, but stops after he sees his hero arrive from over a nearby hill. The two sides begin to battle but are frozen in awe as a solar eclipse occurs above their heads.
