My Hero Academia

Hikage was a lean man with short, beige hair that parts away from the base of his forehead, and thin, green eyes that slant slightly downward. Due to his accelerated aging, he gained two scar-like cracks stretching from the left side of his forehead down to his chin.
He wore a dark, baggy bodysuit with the pants legs torn at the shin, lined with a large sage-colored belt and kneecaps. Over it he has a light, puffy jacket that's cut off at the top of his chest with the right sleeve worn separately from the shoulder. In the anime, the color scheme of his clothing is reversed, with the suit being white and the jacket being dark green.

Hikage was a valiant and noble man who was determined to defeat All For One . However, he was well aware of his limits and understood he couldn't defeat All For One by himself, so he spent his life training himself and strengthening One For All to be passed onto the next user. Hikage was described by Daigoro Banjo as a "weirdo" who preferred to spend his time in solitude. It is implied that this was due to his Quirk constantly putting him on high alert.


My Hero Academia

Hime is a small girl who has short, slightly curly, light hair, held back with a black headband with butterflies as motifs on both sides. She dresses in a sophisticated manner.

Hime has a quite cheeky personality for her age, being very demanding when she wants something and does not hesitate to say what she thinks even though may be insensitive to others. Despite this, she knows how to be grateful to the people who help her and praise them.
She is also quite inclined to fall in love when she sees a boy she considers attractive, blushing at his presence.


My Hero Academia

Himiko was a fair-skinned girl who was prone to blushing and was frequently described as having a pretty face. She had inward-tilting yellow eyes with thin slit-like irises, somewhat resembling those of a cat, and her wide mouth was also rather feline, as her canines were pointed and longer than the rest of her teeth, giving her a vampiric appearance. Her hair was a pale, ash-blonde color and was styled into two messy buns, with numerous wild strands sticking out, a straight fringe and two chin-length side bangs framed her face.
Her usual outfit consisted of a plain seifuku with a Kansai collar, both the skirt and the shirt dark blue with a double white trim, which was paired with a red scarf that she tied loosely below. Over this, she wore an oversized beige cardigan with a long hem and cuffs, and pockets on either side, the right one was shown to hold a number of trinkets on either a keychain or a cellphone strap. [6] She sported knee-length black socks and dark brown outdoor school shoes. She sometimes wore a tan pink duffel coat along with a pink scarf, the former was gifted to her by Skeptic after she damaged her old one in her fight against Curious.
In her villain attire, she wore the same outfit but with a few additional gadgets: a piped black mask, two green boxes of knives strapped around her thighs; a blue utility belt around her waist with more green boxes attached to it on either side. The most distinguishing feature was the loose black mask she wore around her neck, which was decorated with pieces of pale gray metal in the shape of a carnivorous grin. Three large silver canisters are attached to the sides of her mask; the needles poking out connected to the two larger cylinders strapped to the back of her belt, this is the mechanism Himiko used to suck people's blood for her Quirk .
During the Final War , Himiko adorned a new set of supportive gear. This includes propelled tendril-like blades and a new piped black mask. When using Double , she gained a feminine form of Twice 's villain costume partially showing the left side of her face to those who get in her way. [7]

Himiko was a very cheerful girl, to the point of smiling even after having presumably killed someone, displaying sadistic tendencies. [8] This continued even when danger was imminent, as seen when Tomura Shigaraki was about to attack her, [9] but it usually stopped when she was bored or annoyed. Himiko was frequently seen blushing seemingly out of excitement rather than embarrassment, giving her a permanent look of what appeared to be lovesickness on her face. However, she did show that she could easily be embarrassed, such as when she thought people were coming on to her, [10] or when she was naked when copying clothes of the people she transformed into. [11]

Himiko's psychotic idea of friendship.

Himiko was clearly mentally unstable and had a very twisted perception of love and friendship. This was evidenced when, despite her attempting to kill Ochaco Uraraka and Tsuyu Asui , she tried to befriend the two girls as they fought, affectionately calling Tsuyu by her first name and describing the former as "lovely". When talking to Ochaco, she said that it's only natural to want to be like the one you love, and for Himiko this was taken to the point of literally becoming that person. She further explained and compared that like how "normal" people kiss the people they love as "normal", she sucked the blood of the people she loved, as this was her "normal", further showing her twisted understanding of love. She used this to justify her carving up and butchering "guys who are tattered and reeking of blood", as they fit the description of her ideal lover. [12] Additionally, although it may seem so, Himiko's interest wasn't just superficial, as her questioning Izuku Midoriya about what his values and beliefs imply, showing that although twisted, she did indeed want to learn more about the person she loved.
During her later confrontation with Izuku in the Final War, it's shown that despite the twisted way in which she acts when infatuated, her affection for Izuku was absolutely genuine and without any inherent malevolence, as Izuku's Danger Sense did not detect Himiko even when she ran at him with a knife. [13] The love Himiko felt seemed to be no different from what "normal" people feel, but she simply did not know how to express it in a normal manner due to her warped mental state, which is the reasoning behind her constantly seeking battle with and the blood of those she loved in order to become closer to them.

Himiko's compassionate side.

Himiko was quite courageous, or at least very confident when using her Quirk, even impersonating an aspiring Hero and taking part in an exam that gathered thousands of hero students and multiple Pro Heroes. She also showed a comedic and childlike demeanor when faced with different situations, such as when she was with Twice or when she attempted to insult Mimic .
Like most of her allies, Himiko found living life to be difficult in the current world and wanted to make it an easier place to live in. She looks up to Stain and saw him as her role model; declaring a desire to kill and "become" him (possibly a reference to her Quirk). [9] In stark contrast to her maniacal nature, Himiko showed a very supportive side as she comforted a distraught Twice, knowing he felt the most responsible for causing Magne 's death and covering a part of his ripped mask to prevent him from splitting. By extension, she was shown to care greatly about her comrades and was enraged enough by Magne's death that she wanted to kill Overhaul and his men as payback. Even during the Final War, despite being driven by her rage towards the Heroes, she still became distraught over why her Quirk couldn't allow her to truly become Twice and use his Quirk to its full extent, further showing her closeness towards her fallen ally.

Himiko's unstable emotions.

Himiko was also prone to mood swings. When she found a target of "affection" (mainly Izuku) she was loud and cheerful. However, when someone got in between her and her target of her "affection", she showed a very cold, angered, and annoyed expression, instantly switching priorities to kill whoever the nuisance is.
In the past, Himiko was noted by her family and former classmates to be, "a cheerful, reasonable, well-mannered girl" whose subsequent turn to a life of crime surprised everyone who knew her. However, her own recollections imply that this was merely an act she put on to try and fit in with what society deemed "normal." She believed the way she acted was her own normal and that she shouldn't be forced to conceal it. [14]
Re-Destro theorizes that Himiko's twisted personality came off as a result of her Quirk being blood-related, thus prompting a natural inclination towards it, and by proxy her "non normal" behavior, which was later emphasized due to societal norms, as well as her parents who tried desperately to repress and reform the tendencies brought on by her Quirk. During childhood, Himiko was put through much pressure to be "normal", where she struggled seeing everyone around her being allowed to be themselves and show affection. As it turns out, being forced to repress her feelings only made them grow internally. Her parents admonished her for her behavior, calling her rotten to the core and labelling her as inhuman, something that drove a distraught Himiko to her breaking point. She eventually succumbed to her Quirk's influence and ended up attacking another student, Saito , who was bloodied and bruised from a fight, believing that what she felt towards him was a crush.
Despite her psychotic personality and violent habits, Himiko did possess some standards, as she was greatly shocked and upset when Twice was killed during the Paranormal Liberation War . [15] Following her murderous rampage to avenge her comrade and dear friend, she questioned if the heroes didn't view Twice as a person if they are meant to save people.

Himiko devastated when Ochaco refuses to understand her.

Furthermore, Himiko did show a strong desire for true friendship and others she could relate to outside of her murderous behavior, viewing the League of Villains as a place she could call home due to her allies also being outcasted by society. She was also greatly hurt when Ochaco refused to identify with her, due to both of them being forced to shut away their true feelings, with Ochaco hiding her feelings for Izuku, and Himiko having been forced to hide her true nature brought on by her Quirk. This all hinted at a sense of loneliness within Himiko due to her inability to fit into society. During her fight with Curious, she also recalled that when she took on the guise of a high school girl while she was on the run, the world became a bit kinder to her. [16]
Himiko was also curious and even somewhat fearful as to what would have happened to her if she was caught, and went to Ochaco to inquire about this. Although the latter's answer of apprehending the young villainess didn't answer this much, Himiko wondered if the heroes planned to kill her like they did with Twice. Despite boasting of never coming close to being caught, she did show to fear being captured or killed, as seen when she begged Eel Boy to let her go while the Pro Hero was apprehending her, as well as when she screamed in terror upon nearly being killed by Curious. Himiko later acknowledged that her most likely circumstances are ending up in prison on death row, or being killed outright by the Heroes in battle, which is why she refused to back down.

Knowing there's no going back, Himiko prepares to swallow Twice's blood and eradicate the Heroes.

During her time with the League, Himiko adopted Tomura's philosophy: that she should destroy whatever she despises. This was first demonstrated when she killed Curious and her squad, choosing to do this rather than leave them for Gigantomachia . During the Final War while facing off against Deku and Uravity, Himiko demonstrated how much she related to Tomura's ideals, saying that society has done nothing but reject her for how she is, and that she has a right to reject them. [17] Himiko's loathing towards hero society was further emphasised, with her believing that they only value those who are important to them, while people like her and Twice are swept away and left to struggle and suffer by themselves. By the height of the Final War, Himiko fully embraced her villainy as she took on Twice's appearance and used his Quirk, telling her clones to massacre every hero in sight.
While at first, Himiko expressed some regret that she couldn't talk to Ochaco about love, she soon discarded any sentiment she had towards Izuku, Tsuyu, and Ochaco, believing that they were just like her parents who rejected her, while lamenting that their society's rules pity her but don't care. As the battle raged on and Himiko's past memories began to resurface, she became more determined on killing the Heroes in her way, becoming even more unstable as a result.

After reaching her heart, Himiko sacrifices her own life to save Ochaco from dying.

However, through much effort, Ochaco finally managed to get through to Himiko, getting her to open up about her past and her true feelings, how she would get so jealous over not being allowed to express her love towards other people. During this, Himiko's emotions reach their climax and she found herself unable to finish Ochaco off, instead becoming elated when Ochaco admitted to finding her smile cute and calling her "the cutest in the whole world", causing the villain to finally stand down. Following this heartfelt exchange, Himiko became willing to sacrifice herself to save a dying Ochaco by giving her all of her blood, still unwilling to let herself be captured, but not wanting to let someone so close to her die, being grateful that Ochaco took the time to reach out and understand her, despite everything she did.
Overall, Himiko was a twisted yet conflicted villain whose life led her to commit many horrible actions. However, she never truly wished to be evil and only wanted a world that would accept her. Himiko acknowledged that her feelings of warped love and jealousy led her to hurt others, but had she known the feeling that Ochaco gave her sooner, then she might have felt compelled to share her blood with others, and could have lived an easier and happier life. In her final moments, Himiko held Ochaco close to her with tears in her eyes, content at receiving the acceptance she never had.


My Hero Academia

Hina is a young girl with a look that doesn't attract attention, wearing flat clothes that barely stand out. Her biggest feature is wearing a bob cut hairstyle, with her eyes hidden behind her bangs.
However, when she want to fool her victims, she will not hesitate to present a more attractive and adorable appearance, changing into a more cutesy outfit, and her eyes are no longer hidden.

In general, Hina is usually a shy girl, and not very good at socializing with other people, especially if they are of the opposite gender. The only person she feels appreciation for is her best friend Rin. However, her personality changes radically when she sees any man show interest in her friend. Due to her extreme emotions of jealously along with a great contempt against men, Hina considers all men as beasts. This makes her incredibly protective of Rin, and she will not hesitate to drug guys with Trigger simply for talking to her.


My Hero Academia

Hiroshi is a plain-looking young man of average height with spiky pink hair and large brown eyes. He looks similar to Kosei Tsuburaba from Class 1-B .

Hiroshi is shown to be a huge fan of Endeavor, admiring the Pro Hero for his determination to always reach for the top without minding about popularity rankings. When he discovered Endeavor's apparent change in character, Hiroshi immediately flipped out about his favorite hero's sudden personality change. [2]
Despite this, Hiroshi is rather supportive of Endeavor, notably when he spoke out to the public that they still need to believe in Endeavor for protecting society from powerful Villains like High-End . [3]


My Hero Academia

Hiryu has lightly tanned skin and black hair reaching roughly down to his shoulders, which he wears in a low braid. His eyes are shaped like a reptile's, and his irises are notably miniature.
His hero costume consists of white knee-high boots with yellow straps on the back and a high collared black bodysuit with thin yellow clouds across the torso and gets progressively baggier as it travels downward. He has a red belt tied around his waist with brown pouches on the side, and  wears large yellow gauntlets with black sleeves with thin yellow clouds underneath and a visor on his head. His outfit appears similar to a Jiangshi , and his visor seems identical to the talismans commonly seen pasted on their forehead.

Hiryu is willing to work with others, as shown during the obstacle course when he suggested that everyone use their Quirks together to clear the way through the fallen 0-point robots. Notably, Hiryu has a severe demeanor when putting his abilities into action. He is rather diligent in terms of academic abilities and Quirk functions as well. [4]


My Hero Academia

Hitoshi is a relatively tall young man with messy, indigo-colored hair that flares out in large tufts around his head, notably straight teeth. His eyes are purple with white pupils and are thin and somewhat triangular, pointing downward, with no visible eyelashes. They're usually half-closed, and he has dark eye bags underneath them.
By the time of the Provisional Hero License Exam Arc , Hitoshi was noted by the students of 1-A to have bulked up quite a bit since they last saw him at the U.A. Sports Festival .
During the Joint Training Arc , Hitoshi wears a prototype hero costume consisting of the long-sleeve winter version of the U.A. PE uniform: a dark blue shirt and pants with thick white lines over his upper body and down his legs, which form the letters "U" and "A", and a white marking framed by a red line on each sleeve. In addition to this, he wears a detachable mask-like device over his mouth, known as the Artificial Vocal Cords , which aids him with the activation of his Quirk , a Capturing Weapon , the same as the one worn by Eraser Head , around his neck, and a pair of green and white sneakers.
After the Paranormal Liberation War , Hitoshi's hero costume has been finalized. He wears a short-sleeved black shirt, fishnet-like undershirt, four mini speaker-like buttons and belt around the waist, grey shoulder pads, purple elbow pads, fishnet arm sleeves, and knuckle guard gloves, which are fingerless only on the index and thumb. His pants are also black, white boots with purple tips and soles, and purple straps around the thighs and calves, with a mini speaker-like device on the side. In addition, Hitoshi wears his Artificial Vocal Cords on his face and Capturing Weapon around his neck. [8]
Eight years later after the end of the Final War , Hitoshi has gotten taller, and his hair is much longer and wavy. His Vocal Cords have been more streamlined, and his Capture Weapon has been significantly longer.

Hitoshi is a stoic and straightforward person with an innate ability to spark conversation with anyone despite holding a reserved and quiet attitude most of the time. He is shown to be rather clever, knowing just the right words to manipulate others into replying to his comments, allowing him to activate his Quirk. He does not mind doing something underhanded to claim victory in a fight.
Due to having his Brainwashing Quirk perceived as evil throughout his life, Hitoshi has been somewhat feared by those aware of his power and has been discriminated against solely because of the Quirk he was born with. This persecution led him to become resentful of those who had Quirks more associated with hero work, using Izuku Midoriya as an example by stating that someone "as blessed as him" would never understand what it's like to have an ability like his own. Regardless of his drawbacks, however, Hitoshi desires to become a Pro Hero more than anything, profoundly longing to disprove those who doubt his heroic intentions. Not only does he want to refute those who shame his abilities, but he also aspires to usurp students who walk the path towards becoming a Pro Hero, as he always wished to. [5]
While he stated he had no interest in making friends, Hitoshi has been surrounded by many students who see him as a friend, including Izuku, Denki Kaminari , and Neito Monoma .


My Hero Academia

Hizashi is a tall, slim man with long blond hair, which he wears spiked upwards in a large tuft behind his head, and a small brown mustache. He has rectangular eyes with concentric pupils and greenish-yellow irises (red in the manga), he is almost always seen with a large smile on his face, and is almost never drawn with nostrils.
His hero costume consists of a black jacket with a very tall collar, upturned and complete with studs, and matching black pants and knee-high boots. He sports tan shoulder pads and a red belt and elbow pads, all studded, and black fingerless gloves. His neck is always obscured by a directional speaker which he uses with his Quirk . He always wears a pair of headphones with the word "HAGE" written on the headband and a pair of orange-tinted shades.
His hero costume when he was a second-year student is similar to the current one, although it lacked the shoulder pads and the directional speaker. Hizashi carried megaphones attached to his wrists that he used to boost his Quirk. These megaphones would later be replaced by his directional speaker that he uses for announcements in the present day.

Hizashi maintains the eccentric persona of a radio host. He often poses when he talks and maintains a certain level of excitement or volume, regardless of the situation. His attitude made Kyoka Jiro mistake him for a simple announcer, rather than an actual Pro Hero. [6]
When in front of a crowd of people, he often attempts to bring his audience up to his level by getting them involved (he sometimes refers to them as his 'listeners', even while on a live stage). He will continue to act this way regardless of the crowds' response. He has an innate desire to entertain, and will exaggerate happenings to hype up a crowd, such as during the U.A. Sports Festival , [7] or volunteer to commentate rather than sitting through a boring event, such as during the remedial hero license training. [8]
Hizashi has entomophobia , as seen during his Final Exam battle round when Koji Koda summoned a swarm of bugs to attack him, causing him to freak out and faint. Because of this, he admits to preferring urban areas over forested ones.
Though he tends to be a jovial individual, Hizashi is capable of great rage as demonstrated by his reaction to discovering that Kurogiri is a Nomu created from the corpse of his late friend, Oboro Shirakumo and his confrontation with the man responsible, Kyudai Garaki . He expressed further grief and outrage over how the doctor's scientific gifts and knowledge could have helped humanity, but that he instead chose to use them for evil. Much later, he angrily punched the man for what he did to his friend. [9] [10]


My Hero Academia

Hokuto was a middle-aged man with small, circular eyes, a large chin, and short black hair slightly parted from the left side of his forehead.
His hero costume consisted of a bodysuit that is slightly smaller than his build, causing his stomach to be partially exposed. The suit was fastened by a belt with a C-shaped buckle. In the chest area of the jumpsuit was a picture of an eight-wind compass rose. He also wears a pair of light gloves, a light cape, and a dark pair of boots, all of which are decorated with arrows. Sitting on his face was a small domino mask with two outward-facing arrows placed where his eyebrows are located.

Hokuto was shown to be an optimistic person who was amicable around others, even those he had just met. Despite being a lower-class hero with not a very good pay grade, Hokuto admired his job for the peace of mind his work helped bring civilians. He also clearly loved and valued his family, desiring to be a Hero who his kids could look up to.
However, his positive personality became the basis that led to his unfortunate demise. Hokuto's failure to notice Number 6's true colors soon resulted in him getting brutally killed in the process.


My Hero Academia

Hood resembled other Nomu but with a large, muscular build and a comparatively long neck, which has several large vertebrae jutting out of it. His skin is dark purple/black and his head was shrouded in darkness by a hood of skin, with yellow eyes that resemble Kurogiri 's as the only facial feature under it. The muscles on his neck and shoulders were left exposed.
Underneath his hood, his face consisted entirely of an exposed brain, distorted red eyes, and a mouth full of long, jagged teeth.
Prior to being transformed into a Nomu, he was a muscular man with notably long teeth, distorted eyes, black shaggy hair, and a visible tattoo on his left shoulder.

Hood openly showed signs of obedience and loyalty to his master. He spoke with a stutter and broken grammar. [2] Hood was disturbingly eager to fight strong opponents, quickly growing bored with whichever hero he was fixated on after managing to defeat them. This could be seen after he seemingly defeated Endeavor , as he began to wonder if there was an even stronger hero. [3] This battle lust was a holdover from its base body's personality: a thug who worked as an underground fighter. [4]
He also displayed some wits during that battle, as he made distractions for lesser heroes by summoning weaker Nomu. He also protected his weak spot, his head, during battle.


My Hero Academia

Hoyo is a tall, lanky man with pale orange eyes that are baggy and slant forward and straight gray hair.
Hoyo's most distinguishing feature is his numerous burgundy-colored bandages, which wrap around every part of his body except his hands and eyes. Over his bandages, he wears a dark gray combat vest, light gray skin-tight pants with beige knee guards, and a set of black fingerless gloves. He also wears grey dress shoes with dark detailing and a brown garter belt holding numerous pouches held up by a belt. Hoyo also carries a small sword on his left shoulder.

Hoyo appears apathetic and merciless, showing no remorse when using Katsuki against his friends and fighting a group of teenagers with little experience. Hoyo is also very cautious; this is seen when he mummifies an array of objects around him and surrounds himself with them to intercept any attacks from any direction.


My Hero Academia

Ibara is a girl of medium height with green, thorn-covered vines for hair, one set wrapped around her forehead a couple of times in the shape of a cross. Because of her Quirk , she can grow them at will, but she likes to keep her vines at a reasonably manageable length, just above her waist. Her eyes are dark green with long lower eyelashes, and she's regarded as cute by Denki Kaminari .
Her hero costume comprises a plain white robe, similar to a toga, and dark brown knee-high boots.

Ibara is a very modest and courteous person who clarifies her humility after Present Mic calls her an assassin. Although graceful and soft-spoken, she is not afraid to make her pure intentions known. She seems highly religious due to her talking about heaven and divine beings in passing on multiple occasions, and her ultimate moves having somewhat religious names such as "Faith's Shield" and "Crucifixion".
Despite initially seeming very pure and kind, Ibara shows an unexpected vindictive side, best demonstrated in the Joint Training Arc, with her harsh judgment of Class 1-A as well as her telling Jurota Shishida that she hoped the "fires of hell" would relieve him of his sins and viewed his strategy of using her as a decoy to be "sinful".
Ibara showed her gratitude after receiving a second chance to participate in the U.A. Sports Festival and made her objective to spread well across the world apparent before her fight with Denki. [4] She also prefers to be fair and square as she disagreed with Neito Monoma 's plan to throw the Obstacle Race and placed fourth instead. She also viewed having discreetly stolen Minoru Mineta 's headband with her Quirk as an underhanded tactic and regretted it.
Ibara values honesty and is heavily fixated on the concept of truth, often refusing (if not being reluctant) to participate in strategies she deems as deceitful. This honest nature is demonstrated when she said that Shihai Kuroiro needs to "drastically reexamine" himself for his sneaky tactics as well as apologizing to Gigantomachia for their ambush during the Paranormal Liberation War .


My Hero Academia

Ichimoku is a tall middle schooler with short black hair that is swept back in a pompadour, and a small mustache.
He dresses himself as a typical Yankii (Japanese delinquent), and wears a pair of goggles, with mufflers on either side, slit through the center as a vizor, that he uses with his Quirk . He wears a plain black gakuran with black shoes and an armlet.

Even though he looks intimidating, he is very kind and polite to his friends, and, being a fan and follower of Pop☆Step , he is willing to assist the Vigilantes in capturing distributors of Trigger .


My Hero Academia

Ichiro Hotta is an adult man with an average constitution. Physically, he is very similar to his brother Jiro , with dark hair, sharp eyes with small pupils, a goatee, and a small bump in the middle of his forehead. In addition to clothing, Ichiro differs from his brother in that his face is more square-shaped, and has no mustache.
When he makes use his Quirk, normally after injecting Trigger, Ichiro transforms into a humanoid grasshopper. His muscle mass increases and some parts are protected by insect-like quinine exoskeletons. His head resembles that of a grasshopper, with jaws, antennae, and compound eyes. Under this appearance he is indistinguishable from his brother.
One way to differentiate him from his brother Jiro is in the clothes he wears. Ichiro wears an open green sweater, dark pants, and a red cap, which is always worn backwards. The cap is to hide that he is balding. Both brothers wear an apron with the name of their store written on it, and a yellow bandanna tied around their neck. The bandanna is the only garment that doesn't tear apart every time they transform.
After the time skip, Ichiro is completely bald, and wears waiter uniform as a member of the Hopper's Cafe staff.

Despite being dealers, both Jiro and Ichiro have enough moral conscience and good sense to not deal with the Trigger that the Villain Factory distributes, knowing that the drug had uppers mixed in. Both pride themselves to deal only with a normal, legal version of Trigger to help stop balding and erectile dysfunction (although they don't have any license to sell the stuff, and therefore what they do is still a crime). [2]
Even so, they do not like people outside their circle interfere in their business, because they hinder in their “respectable” racket. They are especially upset with Shota , who uses their store as his impromptu hideout and a meeting place with Detective Naomasa . [3] And when Shota is not the one who bothers them with his presence, it's Koichi . [4] This frustrates the brothers to no end, and they would like everyone to leave so they can continue their affairs freely.
Despite this, Jiro and Ichiro always try to help their friends and acquaintances. Both tried to warn their friend Kirihito Kamachi to stay away from the adulterated Trigger because it caused many problems. And they didn't hesitate to help Shota in his fight against Octoid . [5]
Both brothers are fans of Midnight .


My Hero Academia

It is unknown how he was physically before being modified by the Villain Factory . After being turned into a Next-Level Villain, Ikajiro was a huge, muscular, jet-black-skinned humanoid. Due to its nature of his Quirk, he has six arms, and in each of his limbs there is a row of suckers. Besides his arms, he has two large tentacles he keeps hidden in his torso, and uses to attack the enemy by surprise. [2]
His head has no hair, and above his mouth it seems to be almost completely devoid of facial features, except for a couple of lines that run across his face, going from the fissure of his lips to his forehead. He actually has a pair of very tiny eyes hidden in each of the lines. [3]
Subsequently, after the Trigger stopped affecting him and regains consciousness, Ikajiro retains the same physique, although less muscular and with a shorter stature (but still tall), and lighter skin color. He also wears clothes. [4]

The first time he appeared, due to the effects of the Trigger injected into his body, Ikajiro was an extremely violent being who attacked anyone without distinction or mercy, so predisposed to face heroes such as attacking defenseless girls. [2]
Once he gets the Trigger out of his system, Ikajiro introduces himself as a kind and educated person, who apologizes for all the problems he caused when he was a Next-Level Villain. He also shows sensitivity, and loves cats. [4]


My Hero Academia

Ikkaku is a boy with long spiky hair combed down, covering his right eye almost constantly. Due to his Quirk, a long horn grows on his head. His style of clothing consists of a short-sleeved shirt on top of a long-sleeved, dark one, two small fanny packs, dark shorts, and a spotted neckerchief.

Ikkaku is a jovial and energetic boy, with a prankster personality who loves to do all kinds of mischief to get attention, which causes him to be frequently scolded by his teacher. He also tries to constantly show others how awesome he is, which often gets him into trouble. Ikkaku has a great admiration for heroes and wants to become one as well, although his image of heroes is too idealized and fanciful, seeing them as incredible people with awesome powers, which makes him look down on those with plain Quirks, like Mashirao Ojiro .
However, this attitude is due to Ikkau having an inferiority complex over his own Quirk. Deep down, he is envious of the flashy Quirks that his classmates have, and considered his own as lame and not very useful in becoming a hero. Mashirao realises that Ikkaku seeks attention and approval to compensate for having what he sees as an unimpressive Quirk. His way of thinking and the opinion of his own Quirk changes however after seeing Mashirao defeat a villain, showing him that having a modest Quirk is not an impediment to becoming a proper hero.


My Hero Academia

Inasa is a very tall and well-built young man with buzzed, dark brown hair and black eyes.
In his school uniform, Inasa wears the same white collared shirt and dark pants as all Shiketsu High students. He also sports Shiketsu's signature hat whether he be in uniform or in his hero costume.
Inasa's Hero costume consists of a thick burgundy suit pinned together with yellow buttons. A cape is draped over his shoulders, the collar lined with thick fur, and it almost conceals the jetpack-like propulsion system attached to his back. His left arm is completely concealed by the thick, brown material and his hand sports a large tan glove with air pipes on it, whereas his right arm is completely exposed other than the skintight blue sleeve that appears to be apart of his undersuit. Similarly to his left hand, are several tubes around his torso and ankles, which are used to expel wind power to aid with his Quirk . Plates resembling gas masks pad his knees and left shoulder, and he completes his costume with large brown shoes and a pair of goggles around his head.
During the Final War against All For One , the villain unleashed an onslaught of Rivet Stabs that shot Inasa by the head, though the hero managed to survive the headshot with only a cut from his left eye to the forehead.

Inasa is an energetic, hyperactive, and enthusiastic young man who expresses himself with vigor. He's very loud and can come off as obnoxious but he's actually oddly polite and speaks very formally most of the time. Inasa claims there is almost nothing that he dislikes, and growing up as a kid, he enjoyed everything, even bugs. [3] Inasa has a habit of approaching strangers to try and make friends with them. Sometimes, he gets so worked up that he'll start talking emphatically about being passionate, and the person or people he's talking to tend to get confused. [4]
Inasa's signature trait is his undying love for passion above all else. He believes all heroes should have a fiery passion that motivates them to help others. Inasa also appears to enjoy passionate battles and desires to be a part of them. [5] While very headstrong and vocal, he's actually rather pure and light-hearted underneath, with petty insults tending to bounce right off him, while other things can affect him more deeply.

Inasa's hateful glare towards Shoto for representing the type of person he hates the most.

Inasa disapproves of heroes who do not have hot spirits and believes people filled with hatred are unfit to be heroes and he refuses to recognize them as such. This is why Inasa hates Endeavor and his son Shoto , as both of them had cold, angry eyes when Inasa first met them and both of them blew him off despite his warm greetings. Inasa's grudge against the two Todorokis eventually drove him to become just like them: having cold, angry eyes whenever he encountered Shoto during the hero licensing exam , in stark contrast to his normally exuberant and friendly self. He even told Shoto right to his face that he hated both him and his father. Inasa hated Shoto so much so that it costed him his Provisional Hero License the first time around because they refused to work together. [3]
This incident caused Inasa to reflect on himself, however, upon realising that he had become just like the people he hated. He also apologized to Shoto following the exam and despite admitting that he still hated him, Inasa was truly sincere, showing that his hatred of Shoto had at least toned down some. Inasa's animosity towards Shoto, and soon Endeavor, subsided entirely by the time of the Remedial Exam : towards the former after the two managed to come together and earn the trust and friendship of the Masegaki Primary School students, and towards the latter after the newly crowned No. 1 Hero pledged to become a better person.


My Hero Academia

Like Izuku, Inko has large and circular eyes. Her hair and eyes are also green, but in a slightly darker shade than her son's. Her hair is straight and shoulder-length, with a small and spiky ponytail at the back, which as noted by All Might is similar to Nana Shimura 's hairstyle.
In her younger years, Inko was a slim woman, but over the years, she has gained weight and is showing signs of her more mature age. It is heavily implied this change in her appearance was the result of the guilt she felt towards Izuku's lack of a Quirk . [1]

Inko is a kind woman who always tries to support her son. When her son was revealed to be Quirkless and seeing him heavily crying, she frantically apologized to him as if it was her own fault.

Inko proud of her son.

However, when Izuku gained a Quirk and was accepted into his dream school, Inko felt guilty for her previous beliefs of doubting his aspirations.
To make it up to him, she handmade a Hero suit that she saw him designing and apologized for ever letting him think that she didn't believe in his dreams. She was also proud of his impressive feats in the U.A. Sports Festival , showing that she was supportive of her son.
Inko has shown that she still loves and is protective of her son and only wants the best for him as she was unwilling to let him be relocated to U.A.'s dormitories . She explained that she was worried about her son since his Quirk damages him rather than helps him, concerned about her son's dream after witnessing All Might's brutal battle, and unable to bear the fact that Izuku will also have to face such bloody battles with no hope of a full recovery. Inko also states that she has no confidence in U.A. High School and is unable to entrust her son to them following his repeated injuries, going as far as to suggest that he transfer to another Hero academy. She comes around however after All Might apologizes for his negligence and vows to give all his support to Izuku as his teacher and that U.A. will reform from their past mistakes. [2]
She and her son share many personality traits, such as crying excessively to abnormal and comedic amounts when worried or happy, which leaves her severely dehydrated, and panics often when it comes to startling situations. She also faints often in those times of panic.


My Hero Academia

Innsmouth resembles a semi-anthropomorphized octopus. His head resembles the mantle of an octopus and has two ridges leading up to his eyes. Innsmouth has no nose, and his mouth is at the end of a trunk-like structure with three suction cups on each side. On either side of the trunk, there are two fully prehensile tentacles that Innsmouth uses as an extra pair of appendages. His skin is a shade of dull red and is dotted occasionally with bumps and papillae, and acts as flexible webbing between his four arms. Said arms appear to be boneless, and have a suction cup at where the deltoid would be, the elbow, and the base of the wrist.
He wears a pair of red boots with pointed toes, a pair of baggy grey pants, a brown belt (presumably leather), and various watches and bracelets. His main accessory, however, appears to be the long, maroon sleeveless coat and red scarf that he wears as a hood of sorts.

Innsmouth appears to be nothing more than a petty criminal motivated by greed. This showed that he was not afraid to take hostages and resort to underhanded tactics in order to further his own goals. He is also very determined to reach his goals. [2]


My Hero Academia

Invisible Wall is a tall, somewhat scrawny villain. Due to his Quirk , he takes on various traits of a chameleon. This includes bright green, scaly skin, and a chameleon-like head with spikes, large bulbous eyes, and a long tongue.
He wears a simple black bodysuit with black sneakers, and a headset.

Due to his brief appearance, not much is known about him. However, he is shown to be cunning in how he uses his camouflage abilities. He also seems quick to underestimate his opponents, thinking Katsuki Bakugo let his guard down.


My Hero Academia

Itejiro is a young man with small, black, oval-shaped eyes, a notably small mouth, and a round nose. He has wavy, shoulder-length black hair which is pushed back on his forehead before it comes down to frame his face.
His hero costume consists of a black shirt with elbow-length sleeves, two thin pale gray lines circling his shoulders and plain black capri pants, a pair of tights underneath, and black sneakers on his feet. Around his neck, he wears a wide red scarf that covers his chin, and on his hands a pair of thin red wristbands and dark red, fingerless gloves.

Itejiro's body language suggests he's a shy boy who likes to keep to himself. However, Itejiro is very confident in his own abilities and tries to maintain a certain level of grace in his performances. Gracefulness leads Itejiro to be apologetic about his abilities even when he's using them to help others.


My Hero Academia

Itsuka is a girl of medium height and has a slim build. She has teal eyes and long orange hair that she typically wears tied into a high ponytail on the left side of her head. Her bangs are split into three clumps around her eyes, and some of her hair sticks up in large tufts at the top of her head.
For her hero costume , Itsuka wears a teal knee-length qipao with yellow accents, over which she has a black double-breasted corset , ending just below her breasts. She also sports black short pants under the qipao. For accessories, she wears a loose brown utility belt around her hips with two long containers attached at the back, a thin black domino mask around her eyes, and white-heeled navy blue boots with wide vamps that reach down to her toes, filled in with white slips.
She switches out her normal qipao for her winter hero costume with long wrist-length sleeves.

Itsuka is a spirited girl who is thoughtful of others. [2] She does not hesitate to criticize even her classmates if she feels what they are doing is not correct, like whenever she karate chops Neito Monoma on the back of his neck to prevent him from antagonizing Class 1-A [4] and the rest of Class 1-B. Itsuka is willing to pass on beneficial opportunities if she feels others deserve better. This consideration was shown when Itsuka let Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu and Ibara Shiozaki participate in the tournament event of the U.A. Sports Festival in place of her team. [5] Tetsutetsu has stated that because of Itsuka's cheerful personality, she can bring all of Class 1-B together, thus making her the "big sister" of Class 1-B. [6]
Itsuka is additionally friendly to people outside her class and seems to hold no signs of ill-will towards Class 1-A, making her a minority of the 1-B students. She has displayed sympathy towards others, even if she is not particularly close to them. She showed concern for Izuku Midoriya and Tenya Ida after hearing about their run-in with Stain and helped Class 1-A by telling them what was supposed to be on the First Term Final Exam 's practical portion despite it being somewhat against the rules. [7]
In combat, Itsuka is very analytical. She can understand Mustard 's Quirk (comparing the motion of his gas to that of a tornado) and use that logic to determine the user's location. Itsuka can also use her Quirk to dispel the gas Mustard emits, allowing her and Tetsutetsu to fight without gas masks.


My Hero Academia

Knuckleduster is a towering, heavily muscled man. He has short dark hair and visibly thick eyebrows, and also possesses heavy stubble and a prominent scar running diagonally down his left cheek.
His costume consists of a simple wrap-around black mask tied over the top of his head, a tight-fitting dark shirt, jeans, boots, and a long hunter green trench coat. On his hands, he wears a pair of dark gloves topped with a pair of brass knuckles, or knuckledusters, from which he derives his name.
After his initial encounter with Number 6 , his right leg is busted to the point of requiring a cane to walk. He now wears a new chain belt and a supportive brace on his left leg. He also has burn scars on the left side of his neck and his left eye is completely scarred over.
As O'Clock he wore a full-body red suit and a mask that covered his eyes and half of his face. He also wore gloves and boots, and his suit had several lines around the arms, legs, and torso. On his shoulders, he had what appeared to be his symbol. He was noticeably slimmer at the time, though still quite muscular.

Knuckleduster is an individual with a strong sense of justice and strives to do the right thing. He has no government-issued hero license, but this does not stop him from putting on his costume and going out every night to fight street-level criminals and local gangs to keep his neighborhood safe from crimes most "heroes" will not bother with. Despite this reckless streak, he does genuinely admire Heroes for the work they do. This is probably because he also used to be a Pro Hero before his powers were stolen, which left him Quirkless .

Knuckleduster is known for his violent nature.

Knuckleduster shows no resentment towards people who do and shows no fear towards villains who have powerful Quirks . In fact, he seems to love fighting against particularly strong people who have powerful Quirks, enjoying the challenge and becoming very upset or frustrated whenever there are no particularly strong Villains to fight. When a fight is too easy, he quickly becomes depressed. This seems to be one of the main joys of his life, as he becomes invigorated whenever he gets to fight a strong opponent. He is even willing to fight against Pro Heroes if the situation calls for it.
Knuckleduster seems to be a person with a tendency to use violence to solve any problem. He prefers to punch first and ask questions later, as he is willing to beat up people he deems to look suspicious on the slim chance that they may be villains or users of the Trigger drug, forcing his teammates to hold him back before he goes too far. His attitude extends to that he was willing to attack a young-appearing woman under the suspicion of being a villain, when it turns out she was a Hero merely using her Quirk to look for directions. Knuckleduster feels little to no guilt or worries about what he does, despite the fact that he could have been reported and registered as a Villain if the misunderstanding continued, showing a more aloof and careless side to his personality.
However, despite this, he has proven to be more intelligent and perceptive than he seems to be at first. His conclusions are usually right, proving to have a great capacity for deduction. During fights he is able to devise strategies and stratagems very quickly to deal with villains with dangerous or problematic Quirks, knowing when is the best time to attack or what item is the most adequate to defeat them. And when he is not wearing his vigilante attire, he can behave like a well-mannered and polite person, presenting a perfect façade of a worker for a local non-profit organization, complete with business cards and a technically true spiel about the group.

Iwao taking care of his wife.

The truth is, underneath his intimidating exterior and violent behavior, Knuckleduster is actually a very caring and compassionate individual who cares for the people close to him and encourages them to achieve their goals. He trains Koichi Haimawari to improve his combat style and his Quirk and is proud of his progress as well as his innate sense of good will. Although it initially appeared as though he recruited Koichi as his pupil on a whim, it turns out that the young man once helped him during a low point in his life and he believes that Koichi saved him that day, calling him his hero. He shows the same level of care towards Kazuho Haneyama as one of his allies and a member of their group, despite their habit of bickering. He is also a loving father and husband who holds a deep grudge against the people who hurt his family and is remorseful for his troubled history with them, especially his daughter Tamao .
During his time as O'Clock, he was a stoic Hero known for quick "snatch and grab" approaches to solving crimes, thanks to his Overclock speed, along with his frequent partnerships with the Police Force , specifically Eizo Tanuma . However upon reflection after losing his Quirk, he has come to believe that "O'Clock" was a failure as a hero; one that merely represented another cog in the system that only fixed problems on the surface. This was also one of his many reasons for denying Number 6's request to become O'Clock's successor, believing that O'Clock was not a hero who should be idolized.
Despite his attempts to initially deny it during the Underground Masquerade , Kendo Rappa was able to recognize that, just like him, Iwao loved the thrill of a no holds barred fight and getting his hands dirty, which clashed with his supposed image as O'Clock. When he embraced his Knuckleduster persona, Kendo's belief turned out to be right as Knuckleduster allowed that more chaotic side of his personality to be unleashed.
After saving Tamao from the Queen Bee's possession and passing on his blessing to Koichi, Knuckleduster becomes determined in killing Number 6 to end the Villain Factory once and for all. During the fight, he states that he was born with a strong Quirk and some brains but claims that his abilities and knowledge didn't define him in the slightest, and believes that he's passed on his worthiness to those who followed him. Knuckleduster becomes willing to sacrifice himself to end Number 6 by setting improvised explosives on the building they were fighting on. Soga Kugisaki however, refuses to let him go through with this suicidal plan, saying that everyone has fought hard to ensure that no one will die, meaning that he's not allowed to die either. [5] [6]
Even after the conflict finally ends and the Naruhata Vigilantes disband with Koichi and Kazuho both moving on with their lives respectively, Knuckleduster returns to his post as a vigilante even in spite of his newly acquired injuries, still determined and eager to fight crime from the shadows. [7]


My Hero Academia

Izuku is somewhat short for his age, his round face is framed by a short mop of fluffy dark-green hair which curls up at odd angles around his head, casting noticeably dark shadows onto itself. His eyes are large and somewhat circular and his irises are the same shade of green as his hair, which at times are very watery, and are usually stretched quite wide, giving him an innocent, energized appearance. He has a set of four symmetrical freckles in diamond formations, one on each cheek. Izuku has often been described as "plain-looking" or "not standing out" by others.
Though he was initially very skinny, Izuku has gained toned muscles after his ten months of extensive training with All Might, and as the series progresses, these are shown to become more developed and defined as he gradually grows stronger.
After his battle against Shoto Todoroki , the fingers on his right hand became slightly deformed, and his hand shows visible scarring. His right arm was further damaged after his intense fight with Muscular , leaving many more scars. Following his recovery after the previously mentioned fight, Izuku wears a black compression sleeve on the upper portion of his right arm in order to support the heavy damage it sustained: it is partially visible when he wears short sleeves.
During his time in Aldera Junior High School , he wore a plain black gakuran uniform with yellow buttons, accompanied by his signature bright red high top boots, which have thick white soles and black laces.
At U.A., he wears the standard male uniform: a light gray blazer with dark turquoise trimmings over a white dress shirt and dress pants, along with a red tie which he doesn't do up properly, leaving it much shorter than how it should be. Instead of the plain brown shoes worn by the majority of the student body, he still sports his signature red shoes.
Izuku's first hero costume , known as "Costume Alpha," was made by his mother . It was a light green full-body jumpsuit with a red belt, black elbow pads and knee pads, and white gloves, along with his signature red boots. He also wears a mask with long ear-like protrusions that resembles All Might's haircut, and a respirator with a makeshift smile on it that also reflects that of said hero. The costume was severely damaged as a result of his first battle against Katsuki Bakugo and had to be repaired, so during the U.S.J. Arc and My Hero Academia - Save! Rescue Training , Izuku had to wear the U.A. gym uniform. This attire consists of a dark blue high-collared tracksuit with thick white lines over his torso and down his legs, forming the letters "U" and "A," and along with this, a respirator, pair of white gloves, black elbow pads and knee pads.
His second hero costume, known as "Costume Beta," has a few changes made by the costume designers and now looks sturdier and more combat-ready in appearance. The color is now a darker teal with black outlines instead of white. It includes light beige shoulder pads, black knee pads that have been extended to his legs, now reaching up to his thighs. His new gloves are also tinted light beige and are decorated with two blue stripes. His respirator is now metal, diamond-shaped, and has eight holes. Izuku goes without a mask in his second suit, and although the mask is still present, he doesn't wear it much.
During Class 1-A's week of Ultimate Move Training , Izuku had his costume upgraded again to suit his new fighting style, Shoot Style, by adding iron soles to his red boots to increase the power of his kicks. Arm braces were added, along with wrist straps and extending the blue stripes around his biceps, and both his soles and knee pads have yellow bolts fastened into them (originally added before the upgrade in the manga). He called this collection of upgrades "Costume Gamma".
Izuku's fourth hero costume, known as "Costume Delta," makes some minor alterations from his previous hero costume. Before the U.A. School Festival , Mei Hatsume help creates him support gloves , to better help him use his powers for long-range attacks. Prior to the Joint Training Arc , Izuku adds the gloves to his hero costume and uses them in combat.
For Mission: Humarise , Izuku and his classmates at the Endeavor Agency are given special advanced stealth costumes by the World Heroes Association for their mission at Otheon . Izuku's stealth costume was redesigned based on his Delta Costume, consisting of a black suit with teal-green highlights on the lines, equipped with black iron soles and black boots. This costume also includes two silver plates on his shoulders with the letters "WHA" and two straps coming down from his upper body pads with a red button on the left.
After the Paranormal Liberation War , his costume was damaged, giving it a darker and more unclean look. He also wore Gran Torino 's cape, as a memoir to his former mentor and to the deceased Nana Shimura . Due to his arm bracers and gloves being destroyed, he wore four Mid-Gauntlets to support his arms and legs, as well as the old gloves from his beta costume. In addition, Izuku wore his mask and respirator much more frequently in order to conceal his identity. Interestingly, him wearing the mask now casts shadows over his eyes, which causes only his green irises to be visible. This appearing feature is very similar to All Might's look, who has his blue eyes shine through the shadows. This is Izuku's fifth hero costume, known as "Costume Epsilon."
Following his fight with Lady Nagant , Izuku's left arm Mid-Gauntlet is partially destroyed, leaving it practically useless. After the explosion at All For One's mansion in Haibori Woods , Izuku gains an overall monstrous appearance that is stained in blood and filth. His costume, cape, and gloves become more damaged and torn, with the gloves looking more claw-like, his respirator appears to have gathered rust and chipped edges, and his iron soles becoming crooked like talons. In addition to his monstrous appearance, Izuku also constantly sprouts up to six Blackwhip tendrils from his back, which Hanta Sero commented was what kept scaring civilians.
After finally recovering and returning back to U.A., Izuku temporarily wore his U.A. gym uniform, before his Costume Epsilon was eventually rebuilt, accompanied by a new pair of Air Force Gloves attached to make-shift Mid-Gauntlets created by Mei, with a golden stripe along the bicep area, alongside Gran Torino's cape formed as a scarf. The costume has a darker green color, gold outlines instead of black, dark green kneepads, and foregoes the cowl altogether, whilst retaining the damaged respirator from Costume Epsilon. This serves as Izuku's sixth hero costume, known as "Costume Zeta".
During his final battle with Tomura, his respirator and at least one of his Mid-Gauntlets are destroyed. His right arm also ends up covered in black coils as a result of overusing Full Cowl and Blackwhip from within his body to repair his broken tendons. Most of Gran Torino's cape is also ruined, and eventually completely destroyed by Tomura.
In order to deal with Gearshift's recoil, he takes on a form known as Deku Overlay , using Blackwhip to control himself, creating a more savage appearance resembling how he looked post-War. He has four Blackwhip tendrils sprouting from his back, and two more from his torso, his fingers are laced with black claws, and his entire body is snaked with Blackwhip with the mouth resembling a jaw. After forcibly transferring all the Quirks from One For All into Tomura, he drops his Overlay form, reverting himself back to his original appearance. Upon returning to the real world, he loses both of his arms, as they were decayed during his interaction with Tenko in the mental realm. However, due to the effects of Rewind courtesy of Eri 's horn, his arms managed to regenerate to just before they were decayed. After slightly recovering, Izuku is given bandages around his wrists and a rare All Might shirt from one of the refugees to wear before joining the final battle.
In the aftermath of the Final War , Izuku acquires two new scars, one on the right side of his head, and the other below his right eye spreading down his cheek and reaching his chin, along with both of his hands being more heavily scarred. His hair is also shaved down to an undercut on the right side while recovering from his injuries inflicted by Tomura.
He is also shown wearing a new costume, which is similar to his "Costume Zeta" outfit, except for some small changes, such as his respirator being fully repaired, his cowl returning, and his Mid-Gauntlets and Air Force Gloves being slightly redesigned. He is also shown not wearing his Iron Soles and Gran Torino's cape, due to them being destroyed by Tomura.
Eight years later, Izuku has grown taller and more mature, with his hair having grown back and returned to its original style, though it is now slightly parted at the right. As a teacher at U.A., he wears a black suit with a white shirt and tie.
Created by Melissa Shield and Mei using data collected from All Might's final fight against All For One; funded by members of Class A, including Katsuki; and gifted to him by All Might, Izuku receives a new technology-based Hero costume that looks markedly like his Costume Zeta, albeit more mechanical. This costume can be stored as a briefcase that is marked with the number 18, Izuku's seat number when he was a student.

Izuku is a very timid, reserved, and polite boy, frequently overreacting to abnormal situations with exaggerated expressions. Due to yeаrs of being looked down on by Katsuki for lacking a Quirk, he is initially portrayed as insecure, tearful, vulnerable, and non-expressive. These traits are especially present around Katsuki, who also constantly harangued him for his aspirations to become a hero. However, after being accepted into U.A., making new friends, and facing Katsuki during the Battle Trial Arc , Izuku gradually matures into a more confident and braver person who's always eager to prove his worth as a hero, eventually developing strong leadership skills, which combined with his passion and strategic abilities, have turned him into a central figure within Class 1-A alongside Katsuki. [6]

Izuku's mumbling habit.

Izuku is a quite diligent and strong-willed student, being extremely (and sometimes scarily) enthusiastic about topics related to heroes. His dream drives him to write down notes about everything he learns about heroes' Quirks and fighting capabilities. Thanks to this practice, Izuku has developed a great analytical mind and can form complex battle plans in a few seconds, factoring in the best ways he can utilize the Quirks of allies and enemies alike for his own advantage.
Izuku externalizes his observations through endless mumbling, a habit that annoys or creeps out his peers. Izuku often writes down his observations in a variety of notebooks he titles as Hero Analysis for the Future ; he checks on them regularly during school activities, during his free time, or at night.

Izuku rushing towards danger.

Izuku is caring and emotional, never hesitating to help or rescue someone in danger, even if he knows that he might not be strong or otherwise qualified enough to do it. Often, he does this on instinct, taking a more careless approach than the usual overthinking he goes through and putting himself in peril in order to protect someone. All Might claims that this trait gives Izuku the most important natural and innate instinct to be a hero; the pure and genuine desire to help people. However, Izuku putting others' lives above his own can go to the extreme, to the point where he has little to no sense of self-preservation. Katsuki speculates that the bullying Izuku received for being Quirkless made him internalize that his life has less worth. Izuku will routinely break his arms for the sake of others, even if it's not completely necessary, such as demanding Shoto to unlock his full potential by using his fire side. This can make Izuku somewhat short-sighted, as he continued to break his arms, despite warnings he could permanently paralyze them and cut his hero career short. Eventually, Izuku relented, adapting his battle style to put less strain on his body. Though when he's in a particularly tight situation, he'll pull back on old habits.
Izuku is known to help or lecture people with personal and emotional problems, regardless of if it's his business or not, claiming that a hero should meddle in other people's lives. This audacious spirit, while initially viewed as perplexing or even insane by others, is also recognized by many, and has earned him the loyalty, gratitude and respect of characters that were previously antagonistic towards him such as Tenya Ida , Shoto, Hitoshi Shinso , Kota Izumi , Sir Nighteye and even the likes of the Hero Killer: Stain and Lady Nagant .

Izuku breaks down after being acknowledged by All Might.

He has a strong fascination with heroes and is shown well-versed in their history, sometimes even surprising the heroes themselves with his vast knowledge of their abilities and past exploits. [7] [8] [9] He is prone to geeking out and rambling on about the heroes he meets, often bringing up their history and accomplishments, while also being eager to share this knowledge with others. Of all heroes, the Symbol of Peace, All Might, has impacted and modeled Izuku's life the most. Many of Izuku's decisions and actions result from his desire to become a Pro Hero similar to All Might, and thus he has a great devotion to him.
Izuku is an avid collector of All Might merchandise, has knowledge of his numerous feats of heroism (no matter how minor), and emulates many of his traits. Having inherited his Quirk, one of Izuku's current priorities is to be able to live up to his idol's legacy, as he is always looking for ways to improve his usage of One For All, being aware of the immense pressure that comes with succeeding the greatest Hero of all time. The unwavering trust and approval Izuku receives from All Might has been vital to his development as a hero, especially when the aforementioned feelings of self-doubt and unworthiness plague his mind.

Izuku's more intense and serious side.

Izuku appears to have a more brash and abrasive side to him, which typically shows up when he finds himself in combat. This side of him makes him act more like Katsuki, being rather loud and unwavering, and also with a strong drive towards victory. He claims that this is because he sees Katsuki as the embodiment of what someone who strives for victory should be. He has also admitted that he doesn't like this side of him very much and tends to keep it in check. He does, however, find himself giving in to this almost feral rage when in dire situations and faced against opponents who had brutally hurt people he cares for, like in his battles against Overhaul and Tomura.
Izuku also possesses an empathetic side and has developed a desire to want to understand the Villains he has faced, and potentially save them from themselves. While initially believing Tomura to be a madman who just wants to meaninglessly hurt others, after learning about his tragic history and sensing the pain in his heart through their connection between One For All and All For One, this re-invigorates his belief that a great Hero is someone who saves others, not kills, and because of this, desires to learn how they became villains and see if there is any way to prevent a fight, though he does concede he very well may have to kill Tomura. While he is not naïve in this ideology and will resort to violence if there is no other option, like during his second fight with Muscular, he truly wishes to reach out and help villains recover and reform themselves, even giving Kai Chisaki (whom he was still bitter towards) the chance to save his boss should he make amends with Eri. At the same time, Izuku desires to save Tomura from his life of villainy and pain, even when such a notion feels unlikely and is deemed pretentious by others, showcasing his great sense of humanity.

Thanks to his friends, Izuku returns to his former self.

Following the conclusion of the Paranormal Liberation War, Izuku had begun to drastically change his behavior. After suffering from the trauma brought on by the War, seeing countless innocent people have their lives ruined by the current state of society, having All For One relentlessly target him for his Quirk, and bearing the responsibility of protecting his friends, Izuku became more cold and distant towards others. When All For One vowed to break him both physically and mentally, he became increasingly paranoid about how much harm he will bring to those who are around him. The overwhelming stress and burden resulted in him rushing into fights and leaving behind All Might and the other Heroes looking after him so that no one else will get hurt. His disregard for his own well-being becomes the worst it ever has been as well, neglecting to look after his basic needs like sleeping and eating. Katsuki has noted this behavior to be very similar to how All Might was when he was the Symbol of Peace. This increasingly driven, serious side of him has even caused civilians to note that he doesn't look like a hero. After his friends from U.A. get through to him and take him back in, these traits seem to have diminished, with him now being determined in stopping All For One alongside his friends, teachers, and allies.
During the Final War, even after witnessing Katsuki's near demise at the hands of Tomura, Izuku maintains his desire to find a way to save his enemy. In the core of One For All, Kudo recognizes that Izuku's drive to save people is through his belief that everyone possesses an innately human heart, motivating him forward despite suffering grave injuries during his battle against the overwhelmingly powerful Tomura. Once again, Izuku becomes willing to sacrifice One For All as a means of reaching Tomura's origin and finding the source of his pain and hatred, though this would be interrupted by the untimely return of All For One's vestige who seized back control of Tomura's body. With his friends by his side however, Izuku manages to triumph over the Demon Lord, even seeing through All For One's evil persona and recognizing him as a lonely and vulnerable man.
During the war's aftermath, Izuku still holds some regret that he couldn't save Tomura from dying, but was assured by All Might that he managed to save Tomura's soul by vanquishing his pain and that he managed to complete the duty of One For All. After being rendered Quirkless again with only the leftover embers of One For All remaining, Izuku tries to put on a brave front but is visibly distraught over his time as a hero seemingly running out. He's also rather muted when attending U.A. as a second year a week later, and doleful but accepting of Yuga's decision to leave U.A. and start his hero education over. When he tries to strike up a conversation with Ochaco only for her to deflect by commenting on his hair, he also appears concerned for her while uncertain of how to speak with her further.
Izuku also chooses to visit Spinner at Central Hospital to deliver him Tomura's final words; that he fought to the bitter end in order to destroy. Izuku was undeterred when Spinner labelled him as a murderer, only wanting to carry out Tomura's final request, and kept his composure when Spinner grabbed him after activating his Body Bulk Quirk, even stopping the doctor from having the villain restrained. Out of compassion, Izuku tells Spinner that Tomura still cared about him and the rest of the League, and at the end of the visit, he assured Spinner that he would never forget about Tomura. Much later, sensing that Ochaco was hiding something, he goes to comfort her, thanking Ochaco for always helping him and calling her his hero. When Ochaco breaks down and mourns over Himiko's sacrifice, Izuku shares his own guilt over causing Tomura's death, but states that even when times seem unbearable, going above and beyond to reach out and offer help will make a difference. Following this, Izuku accepts that he completed the purpose of One For All, a power meant to help others, and resumes his daily life with his classmates. [10]
Eight years pass and Izuku continues his studies at U.A. while documenting his story and experiences in his notebook, reflecting over how his dream of becoming a hero came true even when it seemed impossible, and that everyone around him became a hero by giving him their hopes, prayers, and encouragement to succeed. Eventually, the embers of One For All fade away and Izuku accepts becoming Quirkless again as he goes on to become a teacher at U.A. High School, admitting that while he misses being a hero, he is content with using his experience to help and encourage others. Izuku has also retained some of his old traits, such as his selfless need to help other people and his mumbling habit, as seen when he flung himself to the ground to save a boy from falling and encounters Dai , telling the middle school student that he can become a hero with his will to help others, even when he possesses an underpowered Quirk.
While Izuku was hesitant to accept a mechanized suit as a gift from All Might and Class A, the former Symbol of Peace recognized that Izuku still has the heart of a hero and told him that he had earned it fair and square, causing Izuku to tear up and rejoice as he joins his friends and former classmates, becoming a hero once again. [5]

Jin was a rather well-built man with blond hair and gray-blue eyes with no eyebrows. He had a large scar splitting his forehead from a past incident. He had visible traces of facial hair over his mouth and at the bottom of his chin. Jin's civilian attire consisted of a blue-collared shirt over a white tank top and a standard pair of pants and boots.
His villain costume was a black and gray bodysuit that covered his body completely, along with gray boots. The upper half of his signature mask was gray with white eye sockets, while the lower half covering his mouth was black. Jin also sported red and green wristbands in which he stored his measuring tapes.
Most of Jin's suit was black except for the section over his lower legs and the gray designs that appear to form a "T" and "W" over his chest. The "T" is formed by a horizontal line crossing his upper torso and a vertical line ascending from the abdomen. Another line snakes down to his lower torso and splits down to his thighs, then climbs to his hips, forming a "W".

Jin had an incredibly unique personality: explosive, lively, and originally having a very comedic demeanor. He enjoyed assuming dramatic poses and eccentric facial expressions. Jin constantly contradicted himself, making a statement in one voice and immediately saying the opposite in another. For example, he insulted Dabi and then praised him in the same sentence. [3]

Jin's clashing personalities.

This juxtaposition was part of a mental instability Jin would embrace as a villain. He believed understanding your own identity is the most essential aspect in life, an understanding he lost during the 9-day conflict with his clones that left him unsure whether he was the original or not. [5] Jin's identity crisis drove him to insanity, changing his overbearing and lazy previous persona into his manic villainous attitude. Without his mask, Jin suffered more heavily from something akin to otherwise specified dissociative disorder type one (OSDD-1): while masked, Jin contradicted himself and acted completely natural about it, but without it, his split personalities argued with each other. He would panic and threaten to "split" until he put his mask back on and become "whole".

Jin overcomes his trauma to save Himiko from Skeptic and his puppets.

During his confrontation with Skeptic 's clones , Jin was revealed to have been a lonely individual who created clones to compensate for friendship. He joined the League of Villains because they accepted his craziness and made him feel comfortable in his skin. His desperation to find friends caused him to trust others very quickly. As a side effect, this also left him vulnerable to betrayal and emotionally devastated when people like Overhaul or Hawks turned on him. When injured by the fake clones Skeptic created, he moved past his trauma after realizing that he was the original and didn't hesitate to overcome his fear and create clones of himself to protect Himiko Toga . [6] [7]
However, his clones still displayed conflict over who was the original, although they were willing to work past it for their goals. It is shown that even after conquering his inner demons, Jin still occasionally experienced relapses, suggesting his multiple personality issues. Dabi and Spinner note that Jin forcing his way through his trauma didn't help fix his mental state and may have made it even worse. [8] Despite his still fragile mindset, Twice remained resolute in his loyalty to his friends. Rejecting any offer of support from the heroes who threatened them and giving his life to protecting the League, in his final moments, he was content with his fate, as he had saved his friends until the very end.
Overall, Jin was a complicated yet sympathetic person. While he was a victim of circumstance, having lost his parents, his job, and his home, his decision to use his Quirk to resort to crime would cause his undoing. Even so, he held a genuine and ardent desire to help the League of Villains as thanks for taking him in. This supportive attitude despite his difficult past earned him the posthumous respect of Hawks, who recognized that, deep down, Jin was truly a good person at heart.

Jiro Hotta is an adult man with an average constitution. Physically, he is very similar to his brother Ichiro , with dark hair, sharp eyes with small pupils, a goatee, and a small bump in the middle of his forehead. In addition to clothing, Jiro differs from his brother in that his face is a bit more slim, less square-shaped, and has a mustache.
When he makes use of his Quirk , normally after injecting Trigger, Jiro transforms into a humanoid grasshopper. His muscle mass increases and some parts are protected by insect-like quinine exoskeletons. His head resembles that of a grasshopper, with jaws, antennae, and compound eyes. Under this appearance, he is indistinguishable from his brother.
One way to differentiate him from his brother Ichiro is in the clothes he wears. Jiro wears a white hoodie and dark pants. Both brothers wear an apron with the name of their store written on it, and a yellow bandanna tied around their neck. The bandanna is the only garment that doesn't tear apart every time they transform.
After the time skip, Jiro wears a waiter uniform, due to being a member of the Hopper's Cafe staff.

Despite being dealers, both Jiro and Ichiro have enough moral conscience and good sense to not deal with the Trigger that the Villain Factory distributes, knowing that the drug had uppers mixed in. Both pride themselves to deal only with a normal, legal version of Trigger to help stop balding and erectile dysfunction (although they don't have any license to sell the stuff, and therefore what they do is still a crime). [2]
Even so, they do not like people outside their circle to interfere in their business, because they hinder in their “respectable” racket. They are especially upset with Shota , who uses their store as his impromptu hideout and a meeting place with Detective Naomasa . [3] And when Shota is not the one who bothers them with his presence, it's Koichi . [4] This frustrates the brothers to no end, and they would like everyone to leave so they can continue their affairs freely.
Despite this, Jiro and Ichiro always try to help their friends and acquaintances. Both tried to warn their friend Kirihito Kamachi to stay away from the adulterated Trigger because it caused many problems. And they didn't hesitate to help Shota in his fight against Octoid . [5]
Both brothers are fans of Midnight .

Jurota is a tall young man with a very beastly appearance. He has shaggy, brown hair covering most of his body. He has sharp teeth, and his large jaw sticks out a fair amount, with two lower canines poking upwards between his lips. He also wears small, rectangular glasses with thick black lenses.
His hero costume consists of a regular pair of pants, dark brown boots with light fur lining on the collar, a shirt collar with no shirt, and a pair of stylized goggles instead of his standard glasses.
While his Quirk is activated, Jurota's size increases significantly, his hair grows thicker and shaggier, and his fangs become more pronounced.

Jurota seems to be an intellectual as he uses a relatively verbose way of speaking and often addresses others by respectful titles such as 'sir' and 'miss'. This formality is because he was raised in a very well-mannered and doting family. While transformed, however, Jurota is rather boisterous and energetic, likely a side effect of his Quirk.
Jurota admires Hound Dog and wishes he could throw everything away as he does, but is unable to because of his upbringing. [1]

Juzo is a pale-skinned young man with angular eyes, mid-length spiked hair of a beige color, a flat nose, and small eyebrows. His most unusual feature is his teeth, which sit outside his skin.

My Hero Academia

Giran is a middle-aged man of moderate height and slight build, with eyebrows that appear to be drawn up most of the time and notably squinted-looking pink eyes. He has short gray hair worn parted to his right with side bangs hanging above his eyes, along with a small mustache and a goatee on his chin, and one of his front teeth seems to be missing, leaving a gap in his grin. After being captured and tortured by the Meta Liberation Army, he lost all the fingers of his right hand.
He wears a pair of dress pants and a matching blazer, along with plain black shoes and a shirt which he leaves partially unbuttoned at the top. He has a thick, golden tube-like necklace around his neck that appears to be made up of multiple segments, sometimes along with a fluffy scarf that resembles intestines in shape and color, also sporting a pair of circular glasses on his face. He is often seen smoking a cigarette.

Giran appears indifferent and unsympathetic towards others, focused only on getting money from his clients. His constant smirk makes him look smugly self-confident. His cell phone case features bunny ears and he lights his cigarettes using the flame of a gun, suggesting he has eccentric tastes.
Despite being only interested in profiting of his dealings, Giran does possess standards. He refuses to have dealings with anyone he hates, and no amount of money or threats will change his mind. [2] Even when subjected to extreme torture, such as being beat up and having his fingers chopped off, he refuses to collaborate and disclose confidential information regarding his clients and partners. [3] He is also willing to offer advice or his opinion to his clients if he thinks it is necessary, and has an open disdain for big businesses trying to cut into his racket.
Giran also has an affable and even kind side towards some his clients, most notably Jin Bubaigawara , who had been left alone and mentally scarred after an incident involving his Quirk . Seeing that Jin was at such a low point, he encouraged him to join a group who could use his talents, saying that outcasts like him are more common than he thinks. [4]


My Hero Academia

Kai is a pale young man of a narrow build with short, shaggy, auburn hair parted to the right. His eyes are thin, irises small and gold, with relatively long lower eyelashes and small eyebrows. He also possesses a small scar on the left side of his forehead that he acquired due to his fight with the League of Villains . He has three piercings in his left ear. He usually has his mouth covered by a plague doctor mask. However, Kai's mask is removed after his battle with Izuku, leaving his mouth uncovered. Following the yakuza's defeat, he lost both arms to Mr. Compress and Tomura Shigaraki during an escort to a villain hospital.
Kai wears a black dress shirt with matching dress pants, a pale gray tie around his neck, a belt with a long, thin buckle around his waist, and three beaded lobe piercings in his left ear. Over this, he wears a dark olive-green bomber jacket with a thick purple fur collar and white lace-up sneakers with tan soles and no socks. Kai's most distinguishing features are the white surgical gloves he wears on his hands and the magenta plague mask he wears over his mouth, which is tipped and embroidered with gold.
During his imprisonment in Tartarus, Kai's hair has become a bit longer, and he has developed some stubble. He also wears a standard red-orange inmate outfit with the sleeves still attached, and his arm stumps are bandaged underneath.
After escaping from Tartarus, Lady Nagant changes Kai's inmate outfit with a long, light dress shirt and dark pants.

Kai is a mysophobic, antisocial sociopath obsessed with returning the world to how it was before the Quirk phenomenon. Due to a combination of an old theory claiming Quirks derived from rats and his mysophobia, Kai believes that Quirks are a plague on humanity, having infected people with "syndromes" of heroism and villainy. He looks down upon those that use their abilities for either purpose, referring to acts of heroic sacrifice or petty crime as "sicknesses". [6] [7] Kai is highly determined to his ambition of eradicating Quirks, not only due to his phobias but also because such a thing would allow the Yakuza to reclaim the power they once held over society. Kai has no moral compass and an enormous ego, viewing himself as the only person in the world who's enlightened to the "true nature" of Quirks and deserving of the spot as ruler of the underworld after All For One's downfall. Despite this, Overhaul's values are noted to be paradoxical, particularly his over reliance on his own Quirk , which he happened to name himself after. [8]
As the leader of the Shie Hassaikai, Kai is usually levelheaded, thinks strategically, and, according to a conversation with Twice , seems nice at first. Whether he is acting or behaving genuinely, Kai possesses polite mannerisms and can come off as very calm and classy even to people he considers potentially troublesome, evident during his first meeting with Mirio Togata and Izuku Midoriya . If aggravated, however, he may display a powerful and visible killing intent, more fitting of his true character.

Kai's germaphobia causing him to break out in hives.

Kai is very germaphobic and hates anything he perceives as unsanitary, frequently remarking about the unclean appearances of certain people and locations. He refuses to be touched by others or even breathe in the same air as theirs, which is one of the reasons he wears an air-filtering plague doctor mask and forces his subordinates to do the same while around him. If blood, dirt, or some other unclean substance comes in contact with Kai's person, he will start developing hives and lose his usual composure, becoming increasingly unhinged as a result. In drastic circumstances, though, Kai will let go of his aversions to crush an enemy standing in his way, either due to pragmatism or out of sheer hatred.

Kai after disposing of one of his subordinates.

Kai doesn't value humans, viewing people as pawns for their utilitarian value and being willing to experiment on them to accomplish his objectives. He carries this sentiment even towards the other members of the organization to which he has dedicated himself since childhood, treating them as expendable sacrifices for his well-being and having no qualms about killing them off for the most minor mistakes. The masks worn by Kai's closest subordinates also remind him of this mindset; he doesn't view them as worthy of sharing the same air as his. Even Eri , his boss's granddaughter and the centerpiece of his operations, is not spared from this brutal way of thinking as Kai frequently shames and abuses her through threats and guilt trips, seemingly to force subservience on her mind.

Kai's fierce determination to revive the Yakuza and repay his debt.

The only person Kai has ever shown genuine concern for is the former boss of the Shie Hassaikai, who rescued him from the streets at a very young age and raised him as a yakuza. Kai, to this day, still feels deeply indebted to his boss for taking him in, being adamant in returning said debt by returning the yakuza to their glory days somehow. Ironically, despite his sociopathic mindset and inhumane treatment of others, this makes his ideals about family much more personal than any other members of the organization. Aside from this, he has also shown to value Hari Kurono , his childhood friend and right-hand man, having healed his injuries and being the only one of his subordinates he does not treat as disposable.
As a young yakuza, Kai was extraordinarily ruthless and would kill anyone who didn't show the Shie Hassaikai the proper respect, constantly getting into fights with rival gangs. Kai's boss, who was growing aware of the violent, immoral path his underling was following to uphold the name of the Shie Hassaikai, attempted to sway him towards a more honorable course, but to no avail; Kai became more and more convinced that illegal, questionable dealings were the only way the yakuza could ever restore their former honor. This immorality would lead the misanthropic Kai to develop an interest in the boss's granddaughter because he considered her rewinding abilities a golden opportunity for the Shie Hassaikai, believing that he could produce a Quirk-Destroying Drug out of her cells that would give the yakuza enough power to take control of the black market.
Despite his loyalty and indebtedness to his superior, Kai could not accept his boss's refusal over the idea, attacking and leaving him comatose to work on his plan unimpeded. Kai took over the Shie Hassaikai under the twisted assumption that everything he was doing was for the sake of his boss and the organization, intending to bring his boss out of his coma after he completed his plan.
Ultimately, Kai's failure to recognize others and his obstinate nature resulted in his downfall. As noted by Tomura, even though Kai's goal was to erase Quirks and restore the yakuza to power, he hypocritically used a Quirk to achieve that plan. Despite his strong-willed attitude, he is capable of expressing genuine fear and shock, especially post-defeat, after the League of Villains took away his product and ability to use his Quirk, screaming as the reality of being unable to bring the boss out of his coma hit him. [8]

A broken Kai desperate to reunite with his boss.

As seen by the time of Tartarus' mass riot and breakout, Kai's imprisonment and the comatose status of his boss have left him as a shell of his former self, being rendered to a near-catatonic state and being unresponsive to everyone, anyone, and everything around him. This refractory state is seen when he had little to no reaction to the mass riot during the Tartarus prison break and later showed no response to the appearance of Tomura Shigaraki and All For One, only being able to mumble the words "Boss", in reference to his father figure. During his talk with Lady Nagant, Kai laments over having lost everything, not even wanting to exact any revenge and only cares about reuniting with his boss, mumbling about how he wants to see him again, even when close to danger.
Kai is even shown crying out of regret while begging to apologize to the boss. While he still hates Izuku (despite the latter having saved his life) and holds no remorse for his treatment of Eri, he does agree to make amends with Eri, but only so he could save his boss. This would ultimately not happen however, in order to spare Eri from reliving her past trauma.
Following the Final War , Kai finally reunites with his boss who had been awakened through advanced support items. In the face of his former boss, who admonishes him for his crimes and for causing Eri so much pain, all Kai can do is cry, snivel, and apologize, with his inhumane actions having doomed both himself and the organization that he swore to revive.
