Hiroyuki Hojo was a fighter in Solaris VII's BBL for the Wyren Claws Stables during the Dark Age.[1]
History[edit]
He did participate in the 3086 Championship.[1]
For his first week, he was paired against Anna Hung and lost.[1]
For the second week match, he was paired against Humbert Barton. Though Barton managed to do moderate damage to Hojo's Bushwacker, after thirteen minutes a massive electrical failure in the cockpit of his Shadow Hawk finished any chances of victory. Barton yielded, leaving Hojo with some satisfaction and a few precious points.[1]
For week ten he was paired against Tyrone Dyhr from the Regulus Wrath Stables. Dyhr used the speed and jumping advantage of his Phoenix Hawk to literally run circles around Hojo, staying away from Hojo's Bushwaker's autocannon. Hojo did score several missiles hits, but Dyhr targeted Hojo's legs, burning away most of the armor located there. Hojo retreated toward the Deep's center, but Dyhr kept the pressure on, forcing Hojo to keep backpedaling. At sixteen minutes, Dyhr's lasers blew Hojo's left leg apart. Hojo was knocked unconscious in the fall, giving Dyhr the win, and Hojo a headache.[2]
After ten matches, Hojo was at 6-0-4 and in fourth place, and had been a tough opponent all season.[2]
After week twelve, in Class Three standings, Anne Hung has continued her near perfect season, going 11-0-1 with 34 points and opening up a seven-point lead over Tyrone Dyhr. Chris Rogers, Hiroyuki Hojo, and Eveline Wilson each have 21 points, which puts them a distant third, six points behind Dyhr.[3]
Paired again against Humbert Barton in week sixteen, Barton used his Shadow Hawk's edge in jumping ability to stay away from Hojo's Bushwacker in a fast-moving match that ended when both of Hojo's hip actuators were destroyed by multiple hits.[4]
In 3086 he was tied for the third place in the Class Three Division in the BBL.[5]
