Aizawa Shota

Behind Aizawa's ear was a mark depicting a black cat with yellow eyes and a green clover wreath. Aizawa really hoped his soulmate wasn't a student, much less a female student.

Birthday: November 8th.
Age: 30 (at the start of the story), 31 (before the timeskip), 39 (current).
The heroic name was invented for him by Present Mick.
Specialization: short-term attacks at short range.
He is considered one of the strictest teachers at the academy: before the events of the manga, he expelled more than 150 students.
Loves cats.

Shota's Quirk is called "Erase." It allows him to temporarily neutralize other people's Quirks simply by looking at any part of their body. However, this ability has serious limitations:
To maintain the effect, Shota must keep his eyes open at all times. If he blinks or looks away, the opponent's ability is instantly restored.
With frequent use, his eyes dry out quickly, so he carries eye drops with him to reduce the effects.
He is unable to erase mutation type quirks.
Besides his Quirk, Shota is a master of hand-to-hand combat and uses his ribbon as a weapon. It's woven from durable fabric infused with steel wire and carbon nanofibers, allowing him to effectively immobilize and capture opponents.

Shota is a complex and contradictory character. On the one hand, he comes across as disorganized, apathetic, and even indifferent, often showing little enthusiasm. On the other, he is an extremely strict teacher, demanding maximum effort from his students, sometimes bordering on cruelty. He is straightforward, expresses his thoughts openly, and is not given to unnecessary ceremony.
Despite his cold exterior, Aizawa genuinely cares for his students and is willing to risk his own life to protect them. He closely monitors their progress, noting their strengths and weaknesses to help them overcome them. His methods may be harsh, but behind them lies a sincere belief in the potential of each student.

In everyday life, he prefers simple dark clothing (a tucked-in dark green shirt and pants) to avoid drawing unnecessary attention to himself. As a hero, he wears a baggy black suit, a belt, and a long ribbon wrapped around his neck. Under this ribbon, he conceals bright yellow protective goggles. These goggles not only reduce eye strain but also obscure the direction of his gaze, preventing enemies from identifying whose Quirk he's currently blocking.

Shota is a tall (183 cm) man with pale skin and long, unkempt black hair that often falls into his face. His eyes are almost always half-lidded, with dark bags underneath them, and he often appears haggard and as if he's just woken up. He also has a prominent stubble, and his eyes are often red due to his intense use of his Quirk.
