Higuel

Higuel is the slash ship between Hiro and Miguel from the Disney fandom.

Canon
As Hiro and Miguel are from different series, they have never met in canon. Miguel is also a Pixar character.

Both Hiro and Miguel have determination to reach their goals, even if it means going behind their families backs. As well as them losing a family member that they were close with, Hiro's older brother and Miguel's great-grandmother. Miguel's great-great-grandmother Imelda had a cat named Pepita and when they died Pepita became Imelda and her family's Alebrije spirit guide in the Land of the Dead, and when she visits the Land of the Living with Dante she takes the form of a common house cat. While Hiro's Aunt Cass has a pet Japanese bobtail cat called Mochi and runs her own café, that she and Hiro live about, called the Lucky Cate Café. Miguel's family also have their own business that they reside at, along with them making the shoes they sell. After Ernesto de la Cruz's crimes were revealed to the world the Rivera began to display Héctor's guitar among his framed letters to Coco, so their residence can serve as Santa Cecilia's new attraction.

Their other common link is the color scheme of their blue and red clothes, even though they are in a different order from each other. As Hiro has a dark blue hoodie and a red shirt, while Miguel has a red hoodie and blue gene trousers. Along with both of them having brown colored eyes and a dark shaded hair color. Along with them having an non-human friend, Baymax the robotic nurse that was built by Hiro's older brother, and Dante the dog who turns out to be a Alebrije.

At one point in their films both Hiro and Miguel displayed their talents to a crowd of people while standing on a type of stage, robotics and music. Their films also circle around their Mexican and Japanese (even though Hiro is only Japanese) culture and folklores, along with doing a few themes from them. When it comes to their folklores, Coco circles around the realm that the departed reside in, while the main antagonist in the first season of Big Hero 6: The Series is named after a supernatural entity either capable of transformation or is a human ghost known as a Obake in Japanese folklore.

Fanon
Higuel is a popular Disney slash ships, involving Hiro and Miguel. It is rather popular in Mexico, as it is where Pixar's Coco is based in and the country that had gotten the chance to see the Pixar film before the US did; which is why most of the fanfiction work of the pairing is in Spanish. While the exact origins of the ship is bit of a mystery, as to when it had started (before or after the Pixar film was released) or what had inspired fans of the two Disney films to ship them together, it could simply be due to fans who enjoy doing Disney crossover ships. As well as the fact that both Hiro and Miguel are young Disney characters, who have a few small things in common that can have the two get along with each other. As Friends or Lovers.

While AO3 only has 53 fanfics, the ship has a reasonable size fanbase on Tumblr and DeviantArt.
