Yatta!
Yatta is a Japanese short form for "yarimashita", which translates to "(I/We) did it!", but can also have meanings of "okay!", "it's done!", "ready!", or "all right!". The word is frequently exclaimed by Hiro Nakamura.
About
Genesis
When Hiro learns he can turn back the flow of time, he runs through his office shouting Yatta!. Later, after teleporting to New York, he exclaims the phrase in Times Square.
Don't Look Back
Exploring New York, Hiro finds a comic whose cover captures his shout.
- In the original script for Genesis, Hiro was to exclaim "bonsai" after discovering his powers. According to a statement by Masi Oka on The View, he approached Tim Kring and informed him that "bonsai actually means little tree", and that he probably meant banzai. Because Masi felt that banzai had wartime/old-fashioned connotations, he asked if it would be okay to use the more modern exclamation "yatta!" instead. Tim Kring gave Masi permission to change the line by replying along the lines of "dude, go to town".
