Masi Oka recently spoke with the folks at SCI FI Wire about what his character, Hiro Nakamura will be up to on season two of Heroes. So here it is. Read on if you can stand the spoliers.

Warning Spoilers Ahead.

Hiro Nakamura will remain in Japan for a while and will have a parallel story separate from the rest of the show when the second season kicks off in the fall.

“Season two is going to begin with two parallel timelines going on,” Oka said in an interview at the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills, Calif., on July 17. “One starting four months after the explosion and another—mainly Hiro’s storyline—starting 400 years in the past. And we’ll see how they kind of affect each other.”

]According to Oka, Hiro will spend at least eight episodes there before returning to the present. There he will encounter some of the characters from the stories of his childhood, including the legendary samurai Takezo Kensei, who will be played by David Anders (Sark from ABC’s Alias). The show is currently finishing the third episode of the upcoming season.

“There’s a princess,” Oka said. “Princess Iako, played by [Japanese pop star] Eriko Tamura, who’s going to be in that world, as well as David Anders, who plays Takezo Kensei. That was Hiro’s childhood hero that he’s always heard about in these stories. But David Anders, last time we checked, he was Caucasian. So there’s a mystery there.”
