That was actually my theory during the show, when he said "I thought a Nakamura would eventually deserve this" or something like that. Who could he be talking about other than his family if he really is papa, and what a weird way to say it. Seemed to me that he was placing himself outside "a Nakamura."

Also, I think Candace is a fat, comic book-loving dude.

There is an interesting - and very convincing theory = posted on the 9th Wonders Boards that Kaito Nakamura is not Hiro's father at all.

I'm going to add to this; I may be crazy but I swear I saw things this way, as did my wife. I'll have to see if it's still on the DVR to double check. (spoiler!):

There's a quick instant when you see Kaito holding the sword in front of him, his eyes are reflected in the blade.

It's not his face - it's the face of a younger Japanese man.

Hiro's dad is perhaps Takezo in a continual series of reincarnations, or some mechanic like that.

That makes perfect sense. And I think i remember the scene you're talking about. I saw it too but chalked it upto camera tricks to show that Hiro and his dad are from the same tree. But this theory (though less plausable) is more fun to believe.

The eyes were younger looking

Yeah, we don't know much of anything about them. But, Fire Generation + Flight= Super Healing, Intangibility + Super Strength= Computer control...

SO, eh, who knows.
Conjecture, obviously, but my take on the whole thing is that whatever power might be there is there, and that the person's personality and/or life events cause a given power or set of powers to cement into them.
My "proofs" are, Micah is a child of the new millennium, has machines all around him, and is constantly being praised for how smart he is. Peter's chosen profession is Hospice Nurse, he has a way of taking in what others are feeling and giving back what they need, his genes expressed as a power sponge. Nathan would never have expressed if he hadn't needed to fly, that night on the road, when he needed to save himself. Hiro is a sci-fi, Star Trek, Star Wars junkie, very intelligent, but a dreamer, and grew up hearing about "the space-time continuum". Nikki needed to be strong, so she was, while Jessica needed to get out of her body---rape victims sometimes become MPD sufferers due to compartmentalizing of this sort---into someplace safe. Claire kept getting into scrapes---this is complete conjecture, except for the hand through the glass case scene---and hurting herself, and her body reacted. I can't explain Parkman, except to say that he is the suspicious sort, and maybe his wanting to be a detective but he couldn't read had something to do with it. Sylar wanted to be special, and found the means to do so, even though up to then he'd only been a watchmaker, because he wanted to please both his parents. I have no explanation about Ted, as to why he became Radioactive Man. D.L. either needed to get into someplace, or out of it, and did so. That's all I got.

I think he's dead. I mean, I have a problem with DL jumping behind him that quickly, and the self-sacrifice of Jessica being non-self-sacrificing was eh... (why she didn't gack Linderman and just TAKE the big pile O cash, I dunno. I'd have figured she'd have an issue with being treated like garbage too, but that at least I can reconcile easily enough.). But, Linderman actually being dead, that's fine.

It would have been better if someone had said "DL, you're going to die, only Linderman could heal this wound...", but I guess that wouldn't work. :)
D.L. should have phased both himself and Nikki. Maybe he was just trying to save her, didn't have time to think?
I just had a thought as to why Nikki can't use the strength powers unless her sister takes over. Their father killed her, not Jessica, and nobody ever knew it, but Nikki jumped into Jessica, and can't jump out because she would die? She needs her own body to jump back into before she can take over any others. Jessica's power is the strength/durability schtick, so they only come out when Jessica is ascendant.
Also, I got the impression, too, that Hiro's dad was immortal.
