Hoshi was the communications officer on the battlestar Pegasus. His duties on Pegasus mirror those of Petty Officer Anastasia Dualla on Galactica. Sometimes he carries out duties that would usually fall under the purview of the tactical officer.

Shortly before the Cylon attack on the Scorpion Fleet Shipyards, Hoshi shows Lieutenant Kendra Shaw to her quarters and explains the basics of the ship's computer network to her. He is knocked unconscious when the opening salvo hits Pegasus. When Cain finds him, she is unable to wake him up and leaves him in the corridor for the time being. Later he is present in the CIC during Cain's speech about the colonies' destruction. When Shaw unmasks Gina as a Cylon infiltrator, she orders Hoshi to put the security camera feed of a dead Six on a screen (Razor).

Hoshi handles the wireless traffic between Pegasus and its Vipers during the stand-off between the two battlestars (Pegasus).

During the attack on the Guardian basestar Hoshi handles the communication between the battlestar and the strike team boarding the basestar and also reports the damage control status. Lee Adama also orders him to insert his nuclear launch key, after ordering a nuclear strike on the basestar (Razor).

One year after the settlement of New Caprica and following the departure of the Fleet, he is still serving on Pegasus in CIC (Occupation).

After the destruction of Pegasus, Hoshi is reassigned and serving in Galactica's CIC (The Passage).

During a standoff with the Cylons, Admiral Adama orders Hoshi to arm of a series of missile tubes (numbers 4 through 10), each containing a nuclear missile to fire at the algae planet (The Eye of Jupiter).

Spoiler follows, highlight to read.
Hoshi appears in Guess What's Coming to Dinner as the Comm officer of Galactica as Felix is on-board the Demetrius.

Notes

• Hoshi means "star" in Japanese.
• In a deleted scene in "The Captain's Hand", Hoshi is relieved of his post by Commander Barry Garner and summarily replaced with Ensign Abel Thornton. Another deleted scene from "Black Market" shows him finding Commander Fisk's body.
• In Star Trek: Enterprise, Hoshi Sato is the name of the communications officer aboard the Enterprise.
