Ando Masahashi is Hiro Nakamura's best friend and co-worker. Initially leading a bored, monotonous life in Tokyo, Japan, Ando and Hiro finally fulfilled their dreams of adventure when Hiro's ability manifested. While Hiro journeys on his quests to save the world from certain destruction; Ando remains at his side, his stalwart companion and sidekick. Initially without abilities, he synthetically gained the ability of supercharging, in order to rescue Hiro who was trapped in the past. Ando had been in love with Kimiko Nakamura for years but she did not share his feelings. However, due to a change in the timeline, Ando and Kimiko are now happily in love and engaged to be married.

Character History

Season One

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Ando Masahashi: Season One History.

Hiro proves to Ando that their future is in 9th Wonders!

Ando is working when Hiro comes running declaring he has a power. Ando is doesn't believe him and goes back to watching Niki on webcam. After work him and Hiro go to a bar where Ando suggests Hiro should use his ability to get into the woman's restroom. Even when Hiro does it, Ando doesn't believe. When Hiro arrives in the future, it is Ando he calls for help, who explains Hiro has been gone for several weeks.

When Hiro returns he convinces Ando to follow him to to New York City by showing him a copy of 9th Wonders! that accurately portrays the conversation he and Hiro are having. The two fly to Los Angeles and then drive to Las Vegas. In Vegas, Ando convinces Hiro to cheat at gambling. When they anger the wrong people the two are beaten up and dumped off at a diner. Ando blames Hiro for their troubles and leaves him and goes to Niki Sanders's house. When she tells him to leave, he returns to Hiro to continue their journey. They attempt to call Isaac, but get Peter and Ando helps translate Peter's message for Hiro. On their way to leave, they are confronted by the high roller they cheated who enlists them in helping him cheat. During the game, a woman comes and kills the other players as Hiro and Ando escape.

As they leave Las Vegas, they see a car accident. After Hiro saves the woman and the man Ando chats with the man's kid. Continuing on to New York, they stop at a diner in Midland, TX and meet a waitress who is then killed. Hiro goes back in time to save her, leaving Ando to wait for him in the Diner. The next day, Ando meets Peter, who has come to the diner, as he waits for Hiro to return. When Hiro returns a day later, he is disappointed because he failed to save Charlie. The two travel to Union Wells High School and arrive too late to save the cheerleader, but instead meet Isaac.

Two weeks later, Ando and Hiro steal a sword from the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. The next day, when the two go to retrieve their rental car, they are kidnapped by a strange man who offers them plane tickets back to Japan, which Ando is impressed by, but Hiro refuses. They are taken to meet Hiro's father. Afterwards, they return to Las Vegas where they attempt to assist a showgirl named Hope. While Hiro doesn't want to go through with it, Ando disagrees and attempts to help her himself. Ando leaves with Hope, driving her to Primm, NV. Hope's ex-boyfriend shows up and fires a gun at Ando, but Hiro saves him with his power.

Ando's attempt to kill Sylar on his own doesn't end well.

Back in Las Vegas, Ando, who went against Hiro's wishes to go back to Japan, saves Hiro, allowing him to steal the sword he has been after. As Corinthian guards arrive to stop them, Hiro teleports the two into the future. While looking at pictures the two are confronted by Hiro from the future. Hiro learns that in this future, Ando was killed in the explosion.

They return to the present day in Isaac's apartment where they find its owner dead. The two hide from the man in the room, but when the man hears Ando gulp, Hiro teleports them out of the apartment. They follow the man to his mother's apartment, contemplating killing him. They try, but fail, breaking the sword. After they get it fixed, Hiro trains with his father, while Ando leaves to kill Sylar himself. However, Sylar catches Ando by surprise and starts to cut his neck. Hiro comes to his rescue, taking Ando back to Japan, leaving him there, telling his friend that he must finish the journey on his own.

Season Two

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Ando Masahashi: Season Two History.

Ando only has Hiro's sword to remember him by.

Ando is now an assistant for Kaito Nakamura. He is present when Kaito receives his death threat and later witnesses his murder. He is interviewed by Matt Parkman and explains the symbol's meaning.

After seemingly being downgraded to his old job, Ando discovers a message from Hiro on the bottom of the sword. He opens the sword and reads the scrolls that Hiro sent him about his adventures with Takezo Kensei. Ando asks for help reading some of the damaged scrolls. On one scroll, the story abruptly stops, much to the dismay of Ando. Later, Hiro appears in Ando's office where Ando must spoil the joyful reunion with the news of Kaito's death. Days later, Ando speaks with Hiro at Kaito Nakamura's funeral.

At Yamagato Industries, Ando helps Hiro find information about Kensei. Hiro teleports after finding some information about Adam Monroe, leaving Ando alone again. When Hiro suddenly returns, he takes his sword from Ando and teleports away again, leaving Ando to wonder why Hiro feels saving the world is always his responsibility. Days later, Ando asks about Adam and Hiro replies that Adam will no longer harm anybody.

Season Three

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Ando Masahashi: Season Three History.

In a possible future, Ando kills Hiro with a blast of red lightning.

Ando watches Hiro Nakamura open Hiro's father's safe, finding half of a formula but Daphne Millbrook steals it in a flash. Hiro time travels to see what will happen with the formula stolen. After he returns, Ando notices Hiro does not trust him and he explains him that he kills him in the future. Hiro tries to use a medal of Daphne's to bargain for the formula. The next thing Ando knows, Daphne is gone and his neck has been slightly cut. Ando thinks Hiro cut him when time was frozen, but Hiro tries to tell him it was Daphne. Hiro tells Ando that he secretly planted a tracking device on Daphne's medal. Ando is disappointed that Hiro didn't tell him before. They track Daphne to Berlin, where she is going to steal the other half of the formula from the Haitian. Ando knocks the Haitian unconscious and they argue if Hiro can trust Ando. Meanwhile, Daphne steals the other half. The Haitian wakes up brings Hiro and Ando to Primatech Research where they are locked up. Ando agrees to help Hiro escape, but Ando isn't going with him. The Haitian then catches them escaping and takes them to Angela Petrelli. Angela tells them that the formula gives people abilities, and tells them that they need to dig up Adam Monroe.

Adam takes them to a bar, where Adam gets away and Daphne and Knox offer Hiro a job. Knox tells him that to prove hes got what it takes he needs to kill Ando since he doesn't have an ability and is useless. Hiro pretends to impale Ando with a fake sword, making Daphne and Knox believe that Ando is dead, using gag blood obtained by Hiro using his ability. Hiro brings Ando on his first mission: travel to Africa to recruit Usutu. After Usutu pulls a few pranks on them, Hiro decides to visit the moments Usutu had painted to gain information on the Pinehearst villains. Usutu gives Hiro a paste to eat. It makes Hiro unconscious and Ando blames it on Usutu. When Hiro wakes up from his spirit walk, Usutu is found dead. Arthur Petrelli sees Hiro and erases his memory, leaving him thinking he is a 10 year old.

Ando manifests an ability for the first time.

Ando gets attacked and he yells at Hiro to teleport them away. Hiro teleports them to a bowling alley where Ando helps Hiro rediscover his ability. Hiro then teleports them to a comic book store so they may look for answers in 9th Wonders!. They first go to Matt Parkman looking for help, and the three travel to Lawrence, Kansas to find Daphne. They then go to the Sam's Comics store in Lawrence, and Hiro travels to 1990, leaving Ando behind. Daphne transports Ando and Matt to New York, where they find and read Isaac's sketchbook. Upon learning that Hiro had his ability stolen in the past, Ando suggests that he inject himself with the formula, hoping he will get space-time manipulation, to go get Hiro back from the past. Daphne goes to Pinehearst and steals a sample of the formula. Ando injects himself with the formula and faints. When he wakes up, they realize that Ando can supercharge abilities, and supercharging Daphne's ability allows time travel. Daphne and Ando travel through time and bring Hiro back to the present. Afterwards, Daphne and Hiro retrieve and destroy the physical copy of the formula.

Hiro shows Ando their new secret base, gives Ando a motorcycle and tracking device, and wants him to fight crime. Ando takes off on the motorcycle disregarding Hiro's wishes. Hiro calls Ando and Ando hears Hiro being captured. Ando tracks Hiro to Russleville, Arkansas. Daphne Millbrook takes him there to find Matt Parkman and Hiro. Shortly thereafter, they are found by Danko's team, who open fire, shooting Daphne while the rest manage to escape. Peter Petrelli, Matt, Ando, Hiro, and Mohinder Suresh meet up and decide to go underground to avoid getting caught by Danko. However, Ando and Hiro go to New Delhi, India, as predicted by Matt's drawings, where Ando convinces an uncertain bride to cancel her wedding. Hiro is upset that Ando for stopping the wedding that Hiro was shown stopping in Matt's drawing. The groom gets angry and kidnaps Ando and threatens to kill him if the wedding does not proceed as planned. Hiro stops the wedding and rejoices at having fulfilled the prophesy. Hiro and Ando then receive a message from Rebel telling them to "save Matt Parkman".

Ando protects Matt Parkman Jr. from Danko's team.

They go to the address in Los Angeles Rebel sent them, only to find a baby. The frantic babysitter thinks they are the replacement sitters she called, and tells them the baby is "Matt Parkman". After they realize the baby is Matt Parkman, Jr. and he has an ability, the baby's mom comes home. Danko's agents arive and Ando uses his ability as a concentrated blast of energy to knock out one of the agents. Hiro then stops time thanks to baby Matt reactivating part of his ability and moves Ando 12 miles in a wheelbarrow to a bus station as he is unable to teleport. They decide to go after Matt Parkman, Sr. in a Nissan Cube. When the baby cries and the Cube stops, they try to hitchhike. But they still have problems because the baby makes that car stop too. They realize that the baby makes things go when he is happy and stop when he is upset. Ando makes a face to make the baby laugh so the car can go, and quickly realizes that he must keep his face that way for the entire trip. In Washington D.C., Ando waits in a park with Baby Matt while Hiro saves Matt, Sr. Ando watches as father and son meet for the first time.

Ando and Hiro then decide to take Building 26 down, but, unaware of the plan, Ando is unwillingly used as bait by Hiro, Hiro then dons an agents suit in order to ride together in a van to Building 26. On the way, the agents get suspicious of Hiro, and Ando is able to use his ability to knock out everyone in the van at once. Once there, Hiro and Ando agree to work equally. When Hiro tries to stop time, he gets a nosebleed. They enter the building and find the prisoners strapped to a bed. They free them and strap the agents in the beds. Mohinder tells Hiro that his body is rejecting his power and if he uses it one more time, it could kill him. Hiro and Ando then attend Sylar's funeral at Coyote Sands and head home.

Before heading home, Hiro and Ando have a small vacation in Costa Verde. During this vacation, they help Rachel Mills and Claire Bennet deal with a dangerous new faction. Ando uses his ability to supercharge Rachel's teleportation, allowing her to teleport the three of them to far off places. Ando once again does this after their fight with Wildman, supercharging Rachel enough so that they can get Magdalena Muller home. After returning Mags safely, Hiro and Ando return to Japan.

Orientation

Ando and Hiro start their own business called Dial a Hero. Their first client is a little girl whose cat is stuck on a roof. Hiro makes Ando climb up the building to save the cat, but the cat claws at Ando, making him fall off the roof. Hiro freezes time and saves him. The after-effects leave Hiro frozen, so Ando pushes him back to the office.

Jump, Push, Fall

Hiro time travels back fourteen years to a carnival, where Ando spills a Slushy on Kimiko. However, Hiro changes things by having the Slushy spill on him instead of Kimiko. When Hiro returns from his trip back in time, Kimiko yells at Hiro and then starts talking to Ando. At the end of their conversation, Kimiko kisses Ando. Later, Hiro tells Ando that he's the reason Kimiko loves him. Ando disagrees saying that Kimiko and he have been dating for years, and that it all started with their first kiss at the carnival.

Graphic Novel:Stolen Fate

Ando walks with Kimiko and spills a Slushy on her dress when Edgar rushes past them.

Acceptance

Kimiko tells Ando that Hiro has agreed to give her away at their wedding, which Ando is happy to hear. He speaks with Hiro and tells him that the wedding is a year away. He asks Hiro if he thinks he will be alive but Hiro tells him not to worry about it. Ando is not so sure that they should be hiding things from Kimiko and urges Hiro to tell her the truth. There is a call on the Dial a Hero line and Hiro leaves.

Hiro travels back in time to save Tadashi but repeatedly fails. Ando tells Hiro that he may not be meant to save Tadashi and suggests that he give up and talk to Kimiko. Hiro does save Tadashi and then speaks with Kimiko while Ando watches. When the two of them hug, Ando enters the room. Hiro then clutches his head and suddenly teleports away.

Once Upon a Time in Texas

Three years in the past at the Burnt Toast Diner, Present Hiro approaches Ando to tell him about Past Hiro time-traveling to the past to save Charlie and tells him to stay there and wait for his Hiro who will be back soon. Ando agrees, but asks where Future Hiro's sword is as he knew that Future Hiro possessed one from what Peter Petrelli said, but Present Hiro tells him to forget about the sword and to just stay there which Ando agrees to do.

Later, when Present Hiro has a fight with Charlie, Ando comes out to see what happened, but Present Hiro sends him back into the diner to wait for Past Hiro and Ando goes back in to wait.

Thanksgiving

When Hiro's memory is being affected, Ando is seen.

The Fifth Stage

During Samuel's speech, Ando is seen running through a swamp with Hiro and Mohinder Suresh.

Upon This Rock

The police and Hiro is at Ando's office, Ando asks where they found Hiro and the police man says that they found him in the Ikebukuro district. Then the police man asks Ando how long Hiro was missing and Ando says that Hiro was missing for six weeks. The police man is shocked and says that it's good that they found Hiro's business card, otherwise they where unable to call someone. Ando is surprised and asks if Hiro is unable to talk, the police man says that Hiro can talk but that they are unable to understand him. Hiro comes inside and calls Ando Sancho, Ando is happy to see him and says that he is Ando. Hiro says that they have to save Dr. Watson, Ando says that he doesn't make any sense. Hiro is still crazy and says that "Sancho" is his only hope. Ando says to the police to uncuff Hiro. The police man starts talking with Ando and says that there is a place for mentally ill in the city. Ando states that Hiro isn't crazy but that he has a brain tumor and that it's getting worse.

A couple of minutes later, Hiro is still talking weird to Ando and Ando is a little bit shocked to see Hiro like that. Hiro writes "Swamp Dragon" on a piece of paper and shows it to Ando, Kimiko comes in and says that she has the number of the best neurosurgeon in Tokyo. Ando tells her to wait but Kimiko says that he needs a doctor, Hiro is the only family she has left. Ando states that Hiro tries to communicate with them but that he is unable to, he is leaving clues for Ando and Kimiko and they have to figure it out. Ando figures out the latest clue, he needs to go to a room where Hiro has all his comic books.

In Hiro's room, he is talking to Hiro. Hiro states that Sancho is his sidekick but Ando says he isn't. Ando finds another clue, He finds out that they have to go to a place called Arkham in Florida. Hiro stands up and says that he has given this hero another chance to right the wrongs of his life, he is eternally grateful. Ando admits that he is a sidekick, but Hiro says that Ando is the best one he knows.

Graphic Novel:The Trip, Part 1

After having his memory scrambled by Damian, Hiro is lost completing "quests" and tells himself that it would be a lot easier if Sancho (referring to Ando) was there with him.

Close to You

As part of their plan to save "Watson", a reluctant Ando checks Hiro into the mental hospital "Watson" is trapped in. Ando isn't allowed to follow Hiro through a set of doors, but Hiro finds "Watson's" room and points it out to Ando. Ando shocks a keypad, allowing him to bypass the lock and he realizes that he's there to rescue Mohinder Suresh when he looks into the room and sees Mohinder.

Ando later visits with Hiro and asks why Mohinder doesn't use his powers to get away and Hiro makes him realize its because Mohinder is drugged. Seeing an opportunity, Ando switches Mohinder's pills with aspirin when an orderly isn't looking, but accidentally swallows Mohinder's pills and ends up drugged. Hiro leaves him in a closet and is able to free Mohinder thanks to Ando's efforts with the pills, but when they returns to Ando, he is in an extremely drugged state and his hands are glowing with his power.

The two wheel him out in a wheelchair, but are caught by orderlies. Snapping out of his daze, Ando blasts a door out open, creating enough of a distraction for Mohinder to overpower the orderlies. The three try to escape through a swamp, but are chased by orderlies with dogs and Hiro can't teleport them to safety due to his condition. Mohinder, after getting an explanation from Ando, suggests that Ando use his power like electro-shock therapy to try to return Hiro to normal so he can teleport. Ando is reluctant as his future self killed Future Hiro with that power, but Mohinder convinces him as they're in Florida and his future self was in Japan. Ando shocks Hiro, successfully restoring him to normal. In the nick of time, Hiro teleports himself, Ando and Mohinder away, just as dogs and orderlies find where they were hiding. The teleport takes them to Noah Bennet's apartment where they interrupt him and Lauren Gilmore kissing and Hiro asks for their help.

Graphic Novel:The Trip, Part 2

While his memory is scrambled, Hiro figures out what his quest is. He must save Dr. Watson. He knows that he cannot do this alone, so he begins to search for his sidekick, Sancho, (the name he uses for Ando). He knows that if he can find Sancho, then Sancho can help him save Dr. Watson.

Pass/Fail

In Noah's apartment, Ando notices that Hiro is not looking so well. When Mohinder leaves and Hiro collapses, Ando rushes him to the emergency room and informs the doctors that Hiro has a brain tumor. He then watches as they take his unconscious body.

Meanwhile, in Hiro's dream, Ando is summoned to be Hiro's lawyer. Ando comments that things do not look good and says that things will work out. Adam Monroe calls younger versions of Ando and Kimiko to the stand and the kids tell the court how Hiro changed time so that they fell in love. Older Ando argues that what Hiro did was good and that no one was hurt. Later, after Sylar has spoken, Ando calls Hiro to the stand and asks what he has to say about it. Hiro tells everyone that he tried to be a hero and make the world a better place but Kaito sentences him to death. Later, Ando is among those who encourage Hiro to fight for his life. In reality, having watched the operation on Hiro, Ando is overjoyed when his friend survives the surgery and the tumor is successfully removed.

Brave New World

Ando is in Hiro's hospital room and is happy when Hiro wakes up. He asks Hiro if he has full control of his powers back now that the brain tumor is gone and Hiro tests them by rewinding time by a minute, proving that he does. Ando and Hiro are confused when Hiro receives a note from another patient and are shocked to discover that it is a now-old Charlie. Ando witnesses Hiro's reunion with Charlie, but is unhappy with Hiro's decision to go back in time and return Charlie to her own time after she's taken as Charlie clearly has had a good life. Ando receives a phone call from Noah Bennet telling him that the Carnival is in Central Park and he and Hiro need to get there right away. Ando approaches Hiro who is saddened as he has decided not to return Charlie to her own time and believes all of his missions are now over. Ando reminds him about Samuel and tells Hiro that the Carnival is in Central Park and that "destiny calls". Hiro agrees and after blowing Charlie a kiss goodbye, teleports himself and Ando to the Carnival as Charlie watches.

At the Carnival, Hiro and Ando are approached by Noah, Claire and the carnies and Claire asks Hiro to teleport the carnies away. Hiro has the carnies all hold hands, but confides to Ando that he's not sure he can teleport everyone as there are dozens of carnies. Ando offers to supercharge Hiro's powers to give him the boost he needs and Hiro agrees. With Ando supercharging him, Hiro is able to teleport everyone away from the Carnival, rendering Samuel practically powerless without other specials to draw power from and allowing Peter to defeat him. Hiro and Ando later walk through the nearly empty Carnival and decide to go home before watching Claire reveal her powers to the world.

Heroes Evolutions

A Hero's Quest

In Hiro's second blog post, "Back on Track", he mentions how he had a soul-searching talk with Ando and Ando's deduction to Hiro's problem, which is his grief over the loss of Charlie.

In Hiro's fourth blog post, "Blast from the Past", Hiro mentions how he wants to go back in time to Uncle Ira's Counter & Culture but that Ando disagrees with him.

In Hiro's seventh blog post, "Mindy Goes TMI", Hiro reports that Ando found something in their Danger Room in Yamagato Industries. He found a surveillance video on Mindy Sprague.

In Hiro's eighth blog post, "More Strange Video", Hiro blogs that Ando talked him out of going back to 1978 to find out what happened at Three Mile Island.

In Hiro's ninth blog post, "Memories of Maury", Hiro reports that Ando put information received from Maury's Assignment Tracker profile into their Danger Room database.

In Hiro's tenth blog post, "Numbers Number Everywhere", Hiro reports that Ando and Kenjiro are still hard at work on the Danger Room database between their marathon games of Call of Duty.

In Hiro's eleventh blog post, "Old School Fun & Games", Hiro, Ando, and Kenjiro all play an old game program that they found in the vents at Yamagato Industries. Ando believes that the game was put together in the late 1980s.

Evolved Human Abilities

Ando obtained the ability to supercharge others' abilities, which manifests in the form of red energy resembling electricity. He used it to greatly amplify Matt's telepathy, allowing him to hear the thoughts of all New Yorkers, and Daphne's super speed, allowing her to run faster than light and travel backward in time (Dual). He is also able to use this to supercharge Hiro's space-time manipulation, allowing him to teleport dozens of people an unknown distance all at once. (Brave New World)

In the episode Cold Snap, it is shown that Ando can charge the red energy in the palm of his hand and expel it as a concussive blast outwards. The energy is shown to be strong enough to knock a man, fully geared, backwards several feet. It cannot be discharged quickly, however, as it seems Ando requires at least a small amount of time to build up power. However, as of I Am Sylar, Ando's use of this has increased: he is able to blast all of Danko's team in a van with one shot, knocking them out but not taking out Hiro at the same time.

Ando is later able to shock a keypad, causing it to act like the proper code had been put in and not short out and later blasts open a door with his ability to shoot energy blasts from his hands. Later, Ando, at Mohinder's suggestion, uses his power like electro-shock therapy in an attempt to restore Hiro's scrambled brains back to normal and it works, reversing the effects of what was done to Hiro.
