Yatta (やった) 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, accompanied by his raised arms.

Heroes Evolutions

Hiro's blog

In his blog, Hiro sometimes uses the phrase "やった", which loosely translates to "Yatta".

  • He posts, "I'm almost done with Final Fantasy XII. やったー."
  • Later, he posts about teleporting to Times Square saying, "Can you believe it? It's amazing! I told you I could do it. I knew it! やったー！　XD".
  • In another post, Hiro says, "We made it. やったー！　\(^o^)/ Hello, Las Vegas!"

Saving Charlie

  • Hiro recalls seeing a drawing of himself on the cover of 9th Wonders! "with his arms outstretched in overjoyed wonder," the same way he had thrown his arms out moments earlier when he'd realized he could teleport. (Chapter 17)
  • Hiro concentrates on time traveling to a specific place and time. When he believes he has successfully landed at the Burnt Toast Diner, he throws up his arms in the air "with absolute joy and abandon" and shouts, "I did it!" (Chapter 41)

Brave New World

In the eBook Brave New World, Ren Shimosawa says "Yata!" and does a victory dance when he beats the penultimate level of Evernow.

Notes

  • 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 (Banzai (万歳) is used as a battle cry during World War II; it loosely translates to "long live", usually used in the phrase "Long live the emperor!"), 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."
  • Hiro's style of shouting "Yatta!", with his arms outstretched, appears in part to be an homage to the character of Chun-Li, who after winning a match in the video game Street Fighter II, stretches her arms, giggles, jumps in the air, and also shouts "Yatta!"
  • In an interview, Masi Oka said, "When Hiro stabbed Sylar in the season finale he said, 'Yatta!' but my secret subtext was, 'Yatta, you motherf--ker!' I couldn't say it, but I played it!"
