Hiro’s closest aide is Baymax (Scott Adsit), an inflatable robot to serve as his personal healthcare companion who never stops reeling out prescriptions. Actually, Hero has been created by his elder brother Tadashi (Daniel Henny) and they have a cute Aunt Cass (Maya Rudolph) who owns a coffee shop.
