Hirbur is the slash ship between Wilbur Robinson and Hiro Hamada from the Disney fandom.
Canon
As Wilbur and Hiro are from different series, they have never met in canon. Even though a few Disney crossover video games could have the dark haired boys crossing paths with each other or get them added in the same team, by the player's choice.
Both of their Disney films have something to be with science and the people that work in that field. Hiro being one of them, while Wilbur enjoys using some of his father's inventions like the time machine. Hiro's robotic friend, Baymax, was build by his late brother, Tadashi, and had upgraded "him" so Baymax could help him take out Yokai. Both the first time machine and Baymax's 2.0 armour are red, and Hiro and Wilbur have flown through the air on/in them. Just as Hiro is very close with a robotic nurse, Wilbur is very good friends with Carl the Robots who was also build by his father. One of Hiro's (human) friends and superhero teammate, Honey Lemon is into art, just as Wilbur's cousin Laszlo is the artist of the Robinson family. Even though Hiro is the leader of a superhero teams, just as Wilbur has an uncle that dresses and acts a bit like one, along with his uncle's portrait looking like an image from a comic book. Despite Wilbur being an only child while Hiro had an older brother, as well as him losing his parents at a young while Wilbur still has his, both Hiro and Wilbur live with their aunts; and their family pets.
Just as Hiro builds gadgets to help him and his team with their work, the prologue video game of Meet the Robinsons has Wilbur using a set of devices that he uses in the game's prologue storyline. The game also has Wilbur facing a lot of bad robots, while Hiro faces similar kind of bad robots in the Big Hero 6 TV series. Wilbur's personal, character logo icon is the lightning bolt logo on his clothes, while Hiro's is the microbot shaped H in the Big Hero 6 TV series. Since a few Disney characters, like the Disney Princesses, do have their own iconic marks that references them alone or their Disney films.
Wilbur's film is based on a novel of the same name, while Hiro's is drawn from a Marvel comic of the same name as well. Along with it being the main reason why Hiro is sometimes considered as a Marvel character.
Fanon
Hirbur is part of the Modern/Futuristic Four crossover Disney fandom, where the two are two of the four main members of it along with Violet from The Incredibles and Penny from Bolt, and the only slash ship of the Modern 4. Even though there have been a few fans who have the ship rival with the other Big Hero 6/Meet the Robinsons crossover slash ship, Hirowis (Hiro x Lewis), for when they don't ship Hirbur beside Violenny.
As it is a main pairing from a crossover fandom, much like the popular Disney/DreamWorks crossover fandom group the Big Four/Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons (Rise of the Guardians, Brave, Tangled and How to Train Your Dragon), it is common used in many AU scenarios. In some versions of Superhero related AUs, Wilbur is sometimes given thunder or electric related superpowers to reference the lightning bolt logo on his shirt and the cap he lens Lewis, as well as it commonly being seen as his personal icon mark. While Hiro's fan-given superpower commonly has something to be with telekinesis to reference the Nero-transmitter head band he had made to control his microbots before Yokai took them for his own. There have even been times where the Superhero AU has Wilbur wearing BH6 style armour, that Hiro made for him. Just as a Superhero AU relates to and references Hiro and his world, Time Travel related AUs references Wilbur as they travel through time together; since the prologue video game of Meet the Robinsons had Wilbur joy riding through time until he learnt his lesson as to why he shouldn't play with his father's time machine. In a few time travel related/featured Big Hero 6 fanfics, Hiro does what he can to prevent Tadashi's death. In which would have Hiro taking or asking Wilbur if they could go back to that very day, once he learns about his time machine, while Wilbur would does what he can to talk Hiro out of it since he knows that messing with time is dangerous. There have even been fans who have portrayed Wilbur and Hiro, as either friends or lovers, as Jay and Carlos from Descendants, while Violet and Penny are seen as Mal and Evie beside them.
On AO3, the ship only has 6 fanfics. While fanfiction.net has 3. Even though the ship has small support on a few fanbase websites, like Tumblr and Deviantart, it still has fans who have the two as friends or lovers.
