Class 1-A

UA Academy is ranked #1 in hero training, considered the most prestigious hero academy in Japan and even the world. Many highly prestigious and recognized heroes trained at this academy; some examples are Best Jeanist, the current number 3 hero, Endeavor, the current number 1 hero, and All Might, the former number 1 hero and Symbol of Peace. Here, students are separated into specific departments and classes: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, and K.

Regarding its structure, UA Academy features an entrance with a security wall nicknamed the "UA Academy Barrier," which automatically closes if a person does not have a student ID card or a special entrance ID. Throughout the story, many precautions have been taken to keep both the press and villains out of the institution.

Following the end of the Paranormal Liberation War, UA Academy became a refuge for civilians affected by Jaku and other cities where Gigantomachia passed through and destroyed thousands of homes.

The refugees were transferred to a bunker, as the academy was to be transformed into a floating island to take Tomura there. Inside the facility were Eraserhead, Neito Monoma, Mei Hatsume, Momo Yaoyorozu, Manual, Mandalay, Denki Kaminari, among other heroes and students. Tomura was easily lured in, and along with Shota, Neito (with Shota's power copied) began erasing their quirks. Manual kept his eyes hydrated to prevent blinking, Momo, Hatsume, and other students created structures to protect UA, Denki created an electrical barrier, and the team outside (led by Best Jeanist) confronted Tomura. Unfortunately, part of the academy was destroyed in a swift and powerful attack by Tomura.

The UA Academy student uniform consists of a long-sleeved white button-down shirt, a gray blazer with blue-green stripes, and a red tie. The boys' uniform includes dark blue-green pants, while the girls' uniform includes a dark blue-green skirt.

The Sports Uniform consists of dark blue pants with white vertical stripes running up the legs and a dark blue short-sleeved shirt with white stripes forming the letters 'U' and 'A'. The winter version of the gym uniform consists of a long-sleeved shirt.

Students learn everything they need to know to become excellent community service heroes and work toward the qualifications needed to use their Gifts in public spaces.

Students who did not gain entry into the hero course are included in this department. It offers a first-class education with an eclectic faculty. It's a department that supports students aiming for university or other activities. Students with exceptional grades may also be transferred to the hero course.

Students in this department focus on developing support teams that can assist heroes on the battlefield. With a workspace equipped with all kinds of tools, the support department offers an unparalleled creative environment.

This department focuses on all aspects of the hero business, encompassing the founding and management of hero agencies. They even give practical lessons about the risks that capitalism can pose.

Izuku Midoriya is a 17-year-old teenager of average height. He has freckles and messy hair. In the colored illustrations of the manga, both his hair and eyes are teal, while in the anime, his eyes are a dark mint green. He is thin, but his body is toned thanks to the training he underwent under All Might.

As for her clothing, she usually wears a black jacket with yellow buttons, accompanied by black pants and oversized red shoes with black laces tied in a bow and white soles.

Izuku is a polite and calm young man. Furthermore, when he was younger he used to be very shy due to being constantly bullied from childhood for not having a Quirk, especially in front of Katsuki Bakugo. He is initially shown as an insecure, reserved, and unexpressive person. However, after being accepted into UA Academy and confronting Bakugo during combat training, he has become more confident and courageous, to the point of developing leadership skills.

Midoriya is also very diligent and strong-willed. Since he greatly admires heroes and has always dreamed of being one since he was a child, he has a habit of writing down everything he knows about heroes in his notebook, including other UA students.

Due to this practice, Izuku has developed a sharp analytical mind and is easily capable of forming complex plans in very short amounts of time, often leveraging his allies' Quirks to put them into action. This aspect also helps him find ways to counter the Quirks used by his opponents. Izuku also has a tendency to overthink anything that catches his attention, leading to endless murmuring on his part (which tends to annoy those around him quite a bit).

Izuku is a very humanitarian person, and he will never hesitate to rescue someone in danger, even if he knows he isn't strong enough to do so. He often does this on a whim, taking a generally more careless approach. Izuku has also shown himself to be generous enough to try and help people with personal and emotional problems, even if they don't concern him, claiming that a hero is someone who interferes in other people's lives.

One For All: Inherited from Toshinori Yagi, Izuku's Quirk grants him access to the stored power of previous successors, giving him superhuman strength, agility, and mobility greatly enhanced by spreading his power throughout his body. While he has yet to demonstrate superhuman speed, immense reflexes, and durability on All Might's level, Izuku has proven capable of adequately controlling a small percentage of One For All's power, using it to enhance his strength, speed, and agility. If Izuku does not spread One For All throughout his body evenly, his body can be immensely damaged by the force of his movements. Izuku has also shown a type of mental connection with previous One For All users.

Gear Shift: The second user's Quirk. This Quirk allows Izuku to change the speed and/or velocity of any target he touches, including himself. This allows him to greatly increase his own speed and/or that of his target, and to increase the impact force of his own blows. Fa Jin: The third user's Gift. This Gift allows them to temporarily accumulate a quantity of kinetic energy when repeating the same movement over and over, to release it later. Danger Sense: The fourth user's Quirk. This Quirk allowed him to detect any potential threat in the surrounding area, giving him the opportunity to react appropriately and quickly, similar to having a sixth sense. The detection of a threat is described by Izuku as a sharp, stabbing sensation in the head. This Quirk was stolen by Tomura during the final war. Black Whip: The quirk of the fifth user. This quirk allows its user to generate a kind of dark ropes from any part of their body, which adhere to objects and surfaces and can be manipulated in any way. It is very useful for grabbing objects at long distances and also improves Izuku's mobility.

Smoke Screen: The sixth user's Quirk. This Quirk allows him to generate a large amount of smoke that comes out of Izuku's body to confuse the enemy by obstructing their vision or creating a distraction. Float: The power of the seventh user. This power allows Izuku to suspend himself in the air. It is unknown if it gives Izuku full mobility while levitating.

Yuga is a young man with a slender build and a rather feminine face. He has long blond hair, styled and flattened around most of his head, spiked and sticking out sideways at the bottom, with a side fringe that curls slightly upward before falling down. He has noticeably long eyelashes and bright indigo eyes, giving him the appearance of a young prince.

His hero costume consists of a blue-black bodysuit, over which he wears a metallic lavender bodysuit and golden armor; a chest plate, two spherical shoulder pads, elbow-length bracers, and knee-high boots. His chest plate has a high V-neck collar with a golden edge like a Greek fret, as with the lower diaphanous piece below the belt and the edges of the bracers. He also comes with a long, shiny indigo cape, as well as a belt with a golden ring-shaped buckle with a blue crystal from which his Quirk emits, matching the smaller ones on his shoulder pads and knees. He has right-angled golden lines running down his wide pants, a matching set around the shafts of his boots, and wears a red-tinted wing-shaped visor over his eyes.

Yuga appears to be a vain and proud person, considering himself superior to the rest of his classmates, especially regarding his Gift. He displays extremely flamboyant gestures, likes to pose, and seeks attention from those around him, even though his classmates frequently ignore him. His expression rarely changes from a closed smile, even while speaking or getting hurt, and he is also prone to anger if interrupted or questioned. Yuga's sentences often end with a star symbol (☆) indicating an elegant tone. He also tends to play up his French heritage, occasionally incorporating French words into his sentences.

DWeOLCDWsAEeh i Yuga thinks very highly of himself. However, this facet is shown to be merely a facade, as Yuga harbors serious insecurities and guilt due to the true nature of his Quirk and upbringing. Born quirkless, he found himself struggling to be "different" from everyone else, something that further worried his parents, who didn't want him to suffer discrimination. This led them directly to contact All For One, who gave him his current Quirk, Navel Laser, but as a result, forced his family into debt to him and Yuga as an unwitting double agent, under threat of death.

Although he desires to have friends, Yuga rarely shows the confidence to act on it. Initially, this is believed to be due to his insecurities and lack of social skills; unintentionally, he can appear "creepy" to others, when he actually has good intentions. However, it is later revealed that this is due to guilt over having to work for villains and betraying his classmates, putting them all in danger, believing himself unworthy of having friends, being a "despicable villain." Instead, he chooses to isolate himself, shown eating lunch alone instead of with his classmates and generally avoiding most social situations.

Navel Laser: Allows him to fire a powerful, bright laser from his navel. Using it too much will apparently cause his stomach to collapse. Because he was born without a Quirk and received a power from All For One, Yuga's body was incompatible with Navel Laser, giving him very little control over his Quirk, requiring him to wear a special belt to compensate while claiming his Quirk's weakness was due to a birth defect. However, due to his training at UA, the negative side effects of his Quirk have been greatly reduced.

As part of his training, Yuga continuously fired his navel laser to increase his body's resistance, increase the range of his explosions, and gain the ability to use his explosion even when suffering from stomach aches.

Mina is a girl of average height, possibly a bit broader than some of her other classmates with healthy thighs. Due to her Quirk, her skin is a light pink hue and she has rather square eyes with black sclera and bright yellow irises, with noticeably long eyelashes underneath and around the sides.

Her face is framed by short, fluffy, and unruly hair that is a pleasant pink color, slightly darker than her skin tone. She has two pale yellow antennae protruding from her head, hooked in a square shape and tilted diagonally on opposite sides, which appear slightly flexible and able to bend slightly to either side. During school hours, she wears the standard female UA uniform.

Mina is an energetic and cheerful girl who displays a big smile on her face most of the time. She is highly sociable and is almost always seen talking to someone by her side. Mina loves spending time with her friends and gets a little upset when she is denied the opportunity to be at a meeting or class gathering. Furthermore, she has a strong sense of fashion and enjoys shopping.

Mina is excited to show off her dance skills. Due to her athleticism and energy, Mina is very skilled and enjoys dancing. Although she is normally happy and carefree, her behavior becomes stricter and more perfectionist when she teaches others to dance. This facet contrasts with her usual nature, as she strives for perfection and to transmit her passion for dance to others.

Mina doesn't enjoy fighting and always seeks to maintain peace around her. She uses dance as a tool to pacify and unite people, even those who have bad relationships with each other. Her positive approach and ability to use dance as a means of communication allow her to create a more harmonious environment and resolve conflicts creatively and peacefully.

Mina's academic performance is notably poor, with Mina laughing foolishly despite showing clear anxiety and frustration inside. Because of that, her classmates sometimes see her as a simpleton (only surpassed by Denki Kaminari). Even so, Mina is capable of showing dedication to her studies as long as she receives proper tutoring.

Mina showing her romantic side. Mina is extremely brave and is seen as having an ideal personality for the work of a Hero. Before entering UA, Mina, despite being new to her school, stopped bullying of the weaker students and was good at making friends. She is capable of risking her life to save others, even if she can't deal with the fear afterwards.

Acid: Allows her to shoot a corrosive liquid from her body; she can control the solubility and viscosity.

It can be used offensively, but it has also proven useful, such as melting handholds so it can climb. It is also known to secrete a non-corrosive version of acid from its feet to glide.

Mina has a limit on how long she can produce acid until her skin gradually loses its natural resistance.

Tsuyu is a short girl with a relatively slender build, compared to her classmates, who has especially large hands. Her appearance is rather frog-like; she has a very wide mouth, which dips slightly in the middle like that of a common frog, and oval eyes with large black irises, her lower eyelashes visibly pronounced, and she also displays some frog-like mannerisms, such as hopping on all fours instead of running, and holding herself in a manner that is somewhat connotative of a frog. Her hair is a dark sea-green color, and is very long, reaching down to her waist, with the ends tied together at the bottom in a bun. She has two shoulder-length bangs framing her face, and shorter bangs between her eyes, some of them partially swept to either side.

Tsuyu is a simple and relaxed person who always speaks her mind and what she thinks of others. Tsuyu prefers to be called "Tsu," but only by people she considers friends. She commonly refers to everyone with the honorific "-chan," except for teachers and other authority figures.

Tsuyu smiling Tsuyu smiles upon being recognized as a Heroine. Tsuyu's parents were always busy with work, requiring her to be the caregiver for her two younger siblings at a young age. Under these circumstances, Tsuyu became a very mature and responsible person who could divide her attention between school and household chores without letting one interfere with the other. This also means that Tsuyu knows how to lead and care for people, keeping them safe and comfortable if they don't feel that way.

Tsuyu is remarkably calm and serene, able to remain balanced and focused even during the most stressful situations. A high-achieving student since high school, she possesses sound judgment, can communicate her intentions easily, and is rarely swayed by emotion, making her an incredibly reliable ally capable of covering a teammate's weaknesses.

Tsuyu shows a rare moment of emotional weakness. She has strong morals and principles and is willing to oppose her friends to protect them from decisions she considers reckless. When several members of Class 1-A agreed to rescue Katsuki Bakugo after the Vanguard Squad Invasion, Tsuyu was the most openly against it, arguing that acting on their emotions and breaking the law to rescue him made them essentially the same as the villains.

For these reasons, Recovery Girl describes it as a "perfect pillar of emotional support".

Frog: Tsuyu's Quirk grants her various abilities and characteristics of a frog, such as a great jumping ability, the ability to cling to walls, a powerful extending tongue, camouflage, and the ability to swim swiftly. She can also secrete a toxin that can cause various effects:

Itches. OR Causes itching. OR Induces itching. Mask the smell. Paralysis. Being like a frog, when exposed to cold temperatures for too long, she goes into hibernation and cannot move. As part of her training, Tsuyu worked all the muscles in her body, including her tongue, by climbing rocks on the side of a cliff while her elongated tongue remained in place at the top of the structure.

Tenya is a relatively tall and muscular young man with a broad body. He has short, straight, dark blue hair trimmed to the left of his head, a shaved nape, and rather square eyes that match the noticeably pointed shape of his jaw.

He usually has a serious expression and his eyebrows seem to be permanently furrowed, rather thin and long, the far ends are tightly hooked inwards and he wears glasses with rectangular lenses. Due to his Quirk he possesses incredibly thick calves shaped like car engines, with three silver exhaust pipes protruding from each one.

Tenya may seem stern, hostile, and even intimidating at first glance, but he is actually a very sincere, intelligent, disciplined, and noble person, also a little clueless about personal interactions due to his elite upbringing.

Tenya reassures Izuku. Strange hand gestures from Tenya. Due to his generally proactive, enthusiastic, and energetic behavior, Tenya often exhibits many peculiar tics, such as moving his arms in strange patterns or sometimes shaking his own body uncontrollably, but rarely abandons his usual stern expression.

He tends to take everything very seriously and is known for his habit of jumping to conclusions and then speaking or acting enthusiastically based on those conclusions. For example, after assuming that Izuku Midoriya had discovered the true nature of the UA Entrance Exam (even though Izuku was only acting on a whim), Tenya began to recognize him as a worthy peer and has held him in high regard ever since. Tenya always tries to immerse himself heavily in practical exercises, playing his role as hero or villain in an overly theatrical way as an attempt to seem more authentic.

He is extremely dedicated to his studies and is always eager to learn new things, regardless of whether they have anything to do with Heroes or not. As the class representative of Class 1-A, Tenya is obsessed with organization and discipline and expects his classmates to do the same, which often annoys them due to their generally noisy and boisterous nature.

Tenya's leadership being ridiculed. Tenya's leadership being ridiculed. Tenya assumes personal responsibility for the safety and guidance of her classmates in times of crisis, considering it her duty as class representative to protect them and keep them away from dangerous situations should they arise.

Engine: Tenya's Power manifests as car engines on each of his calves, giving him great speed and extreme kicking power. His engines have multiple gears, allowing him to shift between at least First, Second, or Third Gear (more are implied) depending on the situation. Like a real engine, his Power requires that the exhaust pipes on the back of his legs remain clear of obstructions to function correctly. Tenya needs to fuel his engines by drinking orange juice.

Some time before the Team Training, his older brother, Tensei, told him about a secret family method regarding his Quirk. This led Tenya to remove the silencers from his legs so that new ones would grow back and endure his training. This exhibits his capacity for pain and perseverance. His Recipro now lasts 10 minutes, instead of ten seconds. However, it becomes so fast that he cannot control it.

Ochaco is a short girl with a slim but feminine build. She is fair-skinned with a perpetual blush on her cheeks. Her eyes are large and round, her hair is a warm brown with fairly thick upper eyelashes, two longer and more prominent ones sticking outwards on each side and fewer lower eyelashes, but more pronounced individually.

Shoulder-length and almost the same color as her eyes, her hair is wavy and curled inwards at the ends, two longer strands that take the same shape on either side of her face, and short bangs that reach about a quarter of her height in front. On the upper inner segment of each of her fingers, she has a small pink pad, somewhat resembling a cat's toe or a dog's paw that she uses when activating and deactivating her Quirk.

During school she wears the normal UA uniform, only with black tights instead of the knee-high socks her other classmates wear.

Other students have described Ochaco as "the most relaxed girl" in her class, being very bubbly and somewhat airheaded at times. She is often incredibly blunt without realizing it. Like Izuku Midoriya, Ochaco's reactions tend to be exaggerated and humorous: she is often amused by certain personality traits and quirks that others exhibit, sometimes bursting into laughter, which she tries to suppress.

Ochaco Almost Laughing Ochaco trying not to laugh. Ochaco is a very warm and lively person who thinks positively about everything, though she is objective enough to see flaws as well as virtues. She is generally empathetic, friendly to those she meets, and will try to help or stand up for anyone who is kind to her or in need. Ochaco seems to be very good at reading people, understanding the reasons for Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo's rivalry and being the first to notice when Tsuyu Asui was upset. Her empathy and kindness are also seen in how well she gets along with her classmates. She is on good terms with everyone and is particularly close friends with several members of the class, including Izuku, Tenya Iida, Tsuyu, etc.

Ochaco's game face Ochaco's fierce side. Despite her generally cheerful and sometimes giddy demeanor, Ochaco can adopt an extremely determined, focused, and somewhat intimidating attitude when the situation calls for it. This side may come as a surprise to those accustomed to her bubbly nature and tends to emerge during competitive situations such as the UA Sports Festival. While she is shown to be surprisingly strategic, she is not above making some impulsive or reckless decisions. When it comes to her chosen path as a Hero, Ochaco is unwavering and does not like to be underestimated, even in the face of overwhelming strength.

Zero Gravity: Ochaco's quirk allows her to eliminate the effects of gravity on solid objects (living and non-living) by touching them with her fingertips. She is able to activate or cancel the effects of her quirk by closing her fingers.

Objects lose their gravitational pull the moment Ochaco makes contact with them, causing the touched object(s) to become weightless. Ochaco can make anything solid float in the air as long as it's within the weight limit of her Quirk, which is around three tons.

As part of her training, Ochaco went into a plastic sphere that would fall down a mountain, all in an effort to accustom her inner ear canals to zero gravity and reduce nausea, all while increasing the amount of weight she can lift.

Mashirao is a young man with a muscular build and short, blond hair, swept back from his forehead. He has slender eyes without lower eyelashes and a long, thick tail with a fluffy tip. Unlike the other students in his class, he wears pale gray sneakers with his school uniform instead of the brown dress shoes worn by everyone else, and leaves the bottom button of his blazer undone.

Mashirao has a very calm and noble attitude, as well as a very deep sense of dignity, which prevents him from accepting results that he doesn't feel were achieved through his own abilities. He is also described as a hard worker.

Along with a strong sense of self-worth, Mashirao can be described as shy, not often enjoying the spotlight, and easily embarrassed. He is quite humble but also reliable and focused during hero work. A recurring joke is that others tend to see him as "simple," something that deeply upsets him, showing that he is sensitive and aware of his own personality and abilities.

When something makes him happy, he wags his tail similarly to a dog, although this is only seen in the manga.

Tail: Mashirao's quirk gives him a long, strong, and resilient tail. He is incredibly skilled at using it, having demonstrated creative abilities such as using it to strike the ground to increase his speed.

Denki has relatively short blond hair, parted to the right with a black lightning bolt-shaped stripe on the left of his side bangs, which are angled to partially obscure his left eye. He has slanted, somewhat triangular yellow eyes and small eyebrows. He is somewhat thinner than most of the other male students in his class and doesn't have much visible muscle mass.

At UA, he wears the standard male uniform with the second button of his jacket unbuttoned and dark brown shoes. After being attacked by Mr. Compress, he gained a scar on the upper left part of his forehead.

Denki is a kind, sociable, and energetic boy who enjoys talking to people. He's very good at making friends and is quite informal when interacting with others, including antagonistic figures like Katsuki Bakugo or Hitoshi Shinso, although he's not above petty complaints or overreacting if he feels sufficiently annoyed or shocked. Denki can seem brusque and reckless at times, but he always has good intentions.

Denki's relaxed attitude. He's also a bit mischievous, occasionally joining in pranks. Generally, Denki seems interested in appearing cool and trendy to impress people, but he has a superficial understanding of how to do it correctly, like when he decorated his room with things he thought were cool and most of his classmates found it messy. Because of this, he's easily influenced by what's popular or fashionable, even if it's due to a Villain's actions.

Denki is somewhat flirtatious with the girls in his class (and even those from other classes or schools), often accompanying Minoru Mineta in his plans and trying to portray himself as a smooth talker. However, he's not very successful with his approaches, as his advances are ignored or rejected by all the girls he invites. Denki isn't very bright academically and has the worst grades in his class, so he needs help when it comes to studying due to his constant neglect of schoolwork.

My Hero Academia Season 3 Episode 18-14 1280x720 Denki retreating in battle. He doesn't seem to show much interest in classes, gets bored easily in lectures, and suffers anxiety attacks when it comes to exams, at which point he becomes increasingly agitated and aggressive. His general lack of wit and tact often makes Denki seem like a fool in front of others, making him a common target of ridicule (particularly from Kyoka Jiro).

Electrification: Denki's power allows him to emit electricity from his body as if it were a protective aura, and he can paralyze anyone who comes into contact with it. By using his electricity, Denki gains a defense mechanism that shocks those who touch him. If he produces too much electricity, he releases a discharge that sweeps in several directions (usually in a small perimeter around him), thus surprising those nearby.

Denki has little or no control over it, and if he exceeds his power limit, his brain will short-circuit, lowering his IQ for an hour, during which time he will also be unable to use his Quirk until he recovers. As part of his training, Denki channeled his electrical currents through a high-capacity battery to be able to handle large amounts of electricity.

Eijiro is a muscular young man of average height, with a well-developed physique due to his training. He has red eyes that slant slightly inward, and a small scar just above his right eye. He also has small eyebrows and very pointed teeth. His hair is medium length, reaching near his shoulders when unstyled, is dyed a bright red, and he usually styles it upwards, leaving two strands hanging down on the sides of his face and two more over his forehead that resemble horns.

Previously, in his high school days, his hair was black and he wore it naturally: just below his shoulder with some shorter strands between his eyes, but he changed it to his current style shortly after being accepted into UA Academy. During school hours he wears the standard UA male uniform, only with dark red sneakers instead of the usual brown dress shoes.

Eijiro is a boisterous and extroverted type with a fondness for the concept of masculinity. Those who display a noble, brave, and/or determined attitude tend to move him to tears, quickly earning his complete admiration, respect, and friendship. He is also a great admirer of Crimson Riot, a retro hero from whom he draws inspiration, including his personal values and his own hero name.

Eijirou's Tears Eijiro, moved spiritually. Eijiro is very honest and kind, and follows a specific code of chivalry that motivates him to live without regret. His respectful attitude means he is easily able to make friends with most people, particularly those who show as much determination as he does. Eijiro is very loyal and dedicated to his friends, and is even willing to break laws and rules to help them, and regrets that he cannot come to their aid. Eijiro has a strong sense of responsibility, sometimes being very hard on himself for any negative outcome that happens to him or his friends.

Eijiro has stated more than once that he doesn't have a very high opinion of his own Quirk, thinking it lacks the ostentation generally found in a Hero. In fact, he's frankly offended if he finds someone with a similar Quirk. Eijiro is also worried about not having a Quirk good enough for the job of a hero, concerned that his abilities can't compare to others.

Eijiro Kirishima is a coward. Before Eijiro reinvented himself, he lacked courage and spirit. Much of this self-doubt seems to stem from an incident in middle school when Eijiro saw Mina Ashido save some students from a threatening figure. Eijiro's friends pointed out that Mina would easily become a hero due to her outgoing personality and athletic nature. After this, Eijiro thought of himself as boring and considered himself pathetic for his inaction and helplessness.

Hardening: Eijiro's Quirk allows him to harden any part of his body, increasing the hardness and resistance of the hardened parts, which serve both for attack and defense. Furthermore, it is strong enough to protect Eijiro from tons of iron falling on his body and also from the explosions that Katsuki throws.

The drawback of this ability is that there's a limit to the amount of damage Kirishima's hardened skin can withstand, and once that limit is reached, the hardening gradually weakens. As part of his training, Eijiro, in his hardened form, was continuously attacked by Mashirao Ojiro's Tail, and with each blow, the resistance and durability of Eijiro's Quirk increased.

Koji is a tall young man with a broad, muscular build and peach-colored skin. His head is shaped like a rock, which is unevenly shaped and points to the top of his head, and his jaw is square.

Contrary to his flamboyant appearance, Koji is a very shy and quiet person. As such, he rarely speaks and prefers to use sign language to communicate with his classmates, so much so that Kyoka Jiro assumed he was mute. According to Fumikage Tokoyami, he's very good at keeping secrets. He also hates violence due to his kind nature.

Koji and Animals-0 Koji interacting with wild animals. He seems to enjoy the company of animals, even having a small rabbit as a pet in his room at Heights Alliance. With his Gift, Koji can interact with them in a way that others cannot. He also has some animal dolls and decorations in his room, implying that he likes cute things.

Koji suffers from entomophobia, a deadly fear of insects, and the mere sight of them makes him scream and flee in terror. However, Koji is able (reluctantly) to overcome this fear if it means helping his comrades.

Animal Voice: Koji's gift allows him to control animals. Whatever order he gives, the animal will carry it out. His ability to control animals extends to insects as well. However, he cannot control animals or insects if they cannot hear his order. Furthermore, he is incapable of controlling artificial animals.

Rikido is a tall, very muscular young man with a broad build. His brown hair is short and stands up away from his head; he has rather small, square-shaped eyes with small black pupils and a pair of bushy eyebrows just above them. He has very full lips, slightly darker in color than the rest of his skin, and a noticeably large, round nose.

Their costume consists of a full-body yellow suit, covering their entire body, with the sole exception of holes around their mouth, each of their eyes, and their hair. They wear white gloves and boots, and a utility belt around their waist, with small amounts of sugar stored inside its pouches.

Rikido has an interest in sweets and baking, the latter being a useful skill due to his Gift.

He's surprisingly talented at making sweets, winning over his classmates with his food. The fact that Rikido was surprised by this overwhelmingly positive reaction suggests he doesn't think highly of his own baking skills.

Sugar Rush: This Power allows Rikido to increase his strength fivefold for three minutes. To activate his Power, he needs to consume 10 grams of sugar. By converting sugar into strength, his cognitive functions gradually decrease, leaving him very sleepy afterward. For every additional 10 grams of sugar he ingests, he extends the strength increase time by another three minutes.

Mezo is a tall, muscular young man with pale gray hair swept forward, covering most of his face and slanting down almost at a right angle over his eye. He has six arms, all connected by a web of skin, which are very strong physically, and even when his Quirk is not in use, only the front two arms have hands; the rest end in thin stumps.

While less pronounced in the anime, he has a slightly elongated face, with his eyes set more to the sides, most of which for some reason has always been hidden by a blue mask, which covers it from below his eyes to the base of his neck. He has never been seen without the mask on, as he doesn't take it off when the other students are bathing in the hot springs and wears it with every outfit.

During school hours, he wears the standard male UA uniform; the only notable difference between him and the other students is that his is sleeveless to allow room for his six tentacles, and he wears a vest instead of a blazer. He also doesn't wear his usual brown dress shoes, instead replacing them with a pair of thick-soled black espadrilles.

Despite his terrifying appearance, Mezo is a very kind and gentle person who will work well with anyone. He's not the type to hold grudges, showing no ill will toward those who unintentionally hurt him.

Mezo is quite selfless and is willing to risk his life for a friend. He can be empathetic and understanding, but still displays a sense of maturity and responsibility that prevents him from acting on emotional impulses, even if he feels remorseful about it. It is evident that he is very protective of his classmates, especially if they are hurt. The Ultra Archive book states that his feelings for his friends are stronger than anyone else's and he is not above sacrificing himself.[1]

Mezo claims to have no desire for material needs and is fine with having few possessions of his own. This is a trait he has carried since childhood.

In Mezo's hometown, there is still prejudice against those whose bodies are altered by their Quirks, and people were often afraid of him. He began wearing his signature mask because his face made a girl cry, and he didn't want to be the cause of anyone's sadness.

Duplicated Arms: His Quirk gives him a set of tentacles alongside his arms. He can transform the tips of these tentacles to replicate other parts of his body (e.g., mouth, ears, eyes). The duplicated body parts are more efficient than the originals; as a result, Mezo can hear better, see through more angles at once, and they grant him much higher degrees of strength.

His detection ability through his Quirk is so powerful that he can hear Toru Hagakure's movements to completely counteract the stealth capabilities of her Invisibility Quirk. This feat renders stealth attacks ineffective against Mezo.

He also uses these arms to speak most of the time through duplicated mouths, instead of his real mouth.

Kyoka is a small girl with fair skin and a slim build. She has triangular, lazy-looking onyx eyes with noticeably long lower eyelashes and rather small eyebrows. Her hair is short, only around her chin, and is dark violet with an asymmetrical fringe and two highlights shaped like heartbeat waves on either side of her head.

Her most notable features are the flexible, plug-like headphone jacks that hang from each of her earlobes at the end of two thin wires, which act as extra limbs; she seems to be able to control them at will, and they are very flexible, able to change their length if she so desires. Unlike the other students, Kyoka sometimes wears a vest over her school uniform, instead of the usual UA blazer.

Kyoka has a pragmatic, unenthusiastic and mocking personality which is mostly shown to those she finds irritating, such as her classmate Denki Kaminari whose lack of ideas makes him an easy target for her snide remarks. However Kyoka is not always like this as she enjoys socializing with others and spending time with her friends, in which case she is usually pleasant and friendly.

Kyoka stopping Denki Kyoka stopping Denki for "cheering her up". Kyoka can also be quite aggressive, as evidenced when she uses the headphones her Quirk provides to physically punish people when provoked or to keep them in line, especially Denki and Minoru Mineta. However during hero activities, Kyoka prefers more clever approaches, usually coming up with a plan herself. She is surprisingly organized and makes sure to convey her ideas in an easy-to-understand manner.

Despite the fact that she comes off as cold and indifferent, Kyoka also has a much more sensitive side, being very defensive with her friends, empathetic to the feelings of others, and getting flustered when her talents and abilities are praised.

Kyoka sad for not being seen as attractive by Minoru. While Kyoka is difficult to faze or surprise, she is afraid of horror-based activities and has an aversion to nudity. She is a bit self-conscious about her looks as well.

Like her parents, Kyoka has a keen interest in rock music and owns several instruments that she can play to a certain extent. However, at first she seemed to be somewhat embarrassed by her interests, because she perceived them as completely unrelated to heroism, but thanks to a great performance during the UA Cultural Festival Arc she was able to overcome that mentality.

Earphone Jack: Kyoka's Quirk grants her headphone jack-like protrusions in her ears that can stretch up to 6 meters and connect to all sorts of things, sending amplified sound waves of her heartbeat that can wreak havoc.

It allows Kyoka to pick up faint sounds, so she can eavesdrop on conversations or locate enemies through extremely thick walls, as well as receive other sound waves from outside, making it both an offensive and support skill.

Kyoka's hero suit features amplifiers in her boots and forearms, to which she can connect her jacks to send her sound waves in the desired direction. The headphone jacks are susceptible to damage and can suffer from excessive use, to the point of bleeding. As a result of her confrontation with All For One, Kyoka lost her left ear and one of her jacks, limiting her power to her right ear.

Hanta is a tall, thin young man with chin-length black hair that is spiked downwards, with uneven bangs reaching halfway down his forehead. He has almond-shaped eyes, usually stretched quite far apart and rather large, straight teeth that dominate his smile, according to Katsuki Bakugo and Midnight he has a rather plain face. His elbows are shaped like cylindrical tape dispensers, from which he fires his Quirk.

Hanta is a very friendly person and has proven to be one of the most sociable members of Class 1-A. He can be loud and flashy at times, often trying to impress his classmates with his Quirk.

He is often the only person who calls out his classmates when they act crazy. He is quite the comical guy and often engages in pranks with his classmates. However when it comes to his job, Hanta is a brave hero in training who wishes to prosper on his own while helping others do the same. He easily makes friends with those around him and comes across as a very laid-back guy.

Tape: Allows you to shoot cellophane-like material from your elbows, as well as retract it. It seems to be somewhat more durable than regular tape. Excessive use of this ability will dry out your skin.

Fumikage is a short young man with the head of a black bird, possibly intended to resemble a crow. He has a yellow beak that is slightly hooked at the end, thin red eyes, one on each side of his head, and a red neck collar, which he rarely removes. However, despite the appearance of his head, his body is of normal human form, with fairly light skin. After his internship training with Hawks, Fumikage has become more muscular.

Fumikage is reserved, serious, and focused, though noble and brave. While he doesn't talk much, he often ignores questions or requests he considers pointless (like when Tenya Iida asked him not to sit on the desk), using this silence as a kind of ongoing joke. However, when he joins with others, he becomes more sociable, helps his teammates, shows them his trust, and thanks them for their efforts.

Fumikage is fond of darkness and related concepts, considering himself a "creature of darkness" and employing archaic-sounding speech that ends up painting him as somewhat spooky or dramatic. However, Fumikage is somewhat insecure about his interests because they are more on the arcane, fantastical side and therefore, more difficult for others to understand or relate to.

Fumikage also possesses a great deal of humility, being aware of his own limitations and understanding when it's time to back down. He takes any advice he receives seriously and uses it to try and improve his Quirk and abilities, showing a great determination to keep up with top heroes like Hawks. Fumikage thinks little of fame and idolatry, but is still proud enough not to tolerate others looking down on him.

Despite his apparent maturity, Fumikage can be overcome by strong emotions, losing control of his Dark Shadow when driven by feelings such as anger, frustration, hatred, etc. He also knows when to admit his mistakes, seeking a way to correct them.

Fumikage is loyal and protective of those he values and appreciates. He is capable of going so far as to risk his life to save his loved ones.

Dark Shadow: Allows him to manifest an intelligent shadow monster from his body that he can freely materialize and retract. Dark Shadow's energy is limited and can be drained by bright light. When it runs out of energy, Dark Shadow retracts back into Fumikage's body.

The monster's personality, strength, defense, and control depend on the lack of light. In bright light, Dark Shadow is weaker and smaller, but still has considerable strength and defense and is easier to control. In total darkness, Dark Shadow is much larger, giving it much more strength and defense. It is even powerful enough to uproot and cut down multiple trees with ease. However, Dark Shadow is more difficult to control in the dark, causing it to rampage based on its own free will.

As part of his training, Fumikage trained in a dark cave to increase his control over Dark Shadow. This training proved effective when Fumikage activated Dark Shadow at night and it was still the same size as if it were daytime. Due to an encounter with Moonfish, it was revealed that in addition to light and darkness, there are more internal factors that influence Dark Shadow. According to Mezo, Fumikage's negative emotions (such as regret and indignation) intensify Dark Shadow, making it more rebellious and powerful as a result, although at the cost of Fumikage losing control; Fumikage himself even stated that his anger causes him to lose control of Dark Shadow. Dark Shadow also seems to need to eat, as it took some food when Class 1-A celebrated Christmas.

Shoto is a tall young man, measuring 1.76 and well built for his age, being 15 years old. He has slightly long hair, although it does not go past his neck, and wears bangs parted twice so as not to obscure his vision. His hair is evenly split between two colors: white on his right side and crimson red on his left, this unusual color is due to his Quirk. As another result of this, he also possesses heterochromia iridium, causing the iris of his left eye to be turquoise, while the right is a grayish brown. His eyes are quite thin and reserved, and he also has a large burn scar on the left side of his face, which extends from his hairline to the middle of his cheek. Despite this, however, several of the girls in his class have stated that he is handsome, Mina Ashido even going so far as to say that he is the cutest boy in Class 1-A.

During school hours he wears the normal male UA uniform, replacing the usual brown dress shoe with pale cyan and grey casual laces.

Shoto originally had a cold and distant personality, stemming from his abusive upbringing and complicated home life. Focused and emotionless, Shoto preferred to keep to himself rather than hanging out with others. However, following the events of the Sports Festival, Shoto became noticeably more sociable and friendly, even gaining a sense of humor and occasionally smiling, though he still retains some shreds of his former aloofness. After the Remedial Course, he began to open up more to his classmates and has eased off his usually serious demeanor. However, Shoto is still unfamiliar with socializing, as he is shown to be somewhat dense when it comes to understanding certain forms of speech.

Shoto threatening a villain Shoto's original coldness. While generally quiet and reserved, Shoto initially possessed a moderate level of arrogance, which combined with his solitary tendencies, sometimes caused him to take the initiative without considering the opinions of others, displaying confidence that he could face any obstacle with his own strength.

He used to be much more hostile as well, to the point of making some people angry at him due to his conceited nature. Shoto preferred to act alone, though for practical purposes, as doing so allows him to unleash his full power without having to worry about fire. Calm and collected but brutal in combat, Shoto is well-grounded in the ethic of heroism, only wishing to subdue his frozen opponents rather than kill them by prolonging the freezing.

Shoto deeply detested his fire abilities that he inherited from Endeavor, as it symbolized his father's evil towards him and his mother, as well as what he was born to be: a tool to surpass All Might, a fate he detested.

Half Cold Half Hot. Half-Cold Half-Hot: Shoto's Quirk gives him the ability to freeze with the right half of his body and burn with the left half. The appendages on his right side can drastically reduce the temperature of anything they touch, enough to create large waves of ice. The limbs on his left side generate heat and allow Shoto to create and fire streams of flame.

The drawback of his Quirk stems from his need to maintain his own body temperature, as excessive use of his ice power causes Shoto to suffer from frostbite. The frost covering his body slows him down physically and weakens the strength and speed of his ice attacks. However, this weakness can be counteracted if Shoto uses his left side to compensate for the low temperature. The side effect of prolonged use of his fire side has not yet been revealed, as he has never used it excessively.

As Stain pointed out, one of Shoto's greatest weaknesses is his heavy reliance on the devastating power of his Quirk. Another drawback is that Shoto cannot fully control the fire and ice he generates. While he is capable of using both abilities simultaneously, he has stated that he is not used to doing so, and still needs practice in controlling his Quirk.

Toru is a fairly short girl with a completely invisible body. She is only identifiable through retained or worn objects, such as pieces of clothing and accessories, and when clothed, her body appears to be slender but quite curvaceous.

Toru is a cheerful and calm girl who does most things with an optimistic attitude, even if she's manipulated into doing them. She's very socially anxious and seems to enjoy shopping. Her room suggests she likes stuffed animals and other cute things.

She believes that removing her clothing during battle is a tactical advantage, to the discomfort of those around her. She seems happily unaware of what it means to be invisible, such as showing a little embarrassment at the idea of being seen undressing; a trait that appears even when she wears her hero costume, which in the first place is almost entirely devoid of clothing.

Overall, it seems that Toru's invisible body is mainly used as a source of comic relief.

Invisibility: Toru's power is that her body is completely invisible. It is unknown whether it is permanently active or can be activated and deactivated at will, but it has been shown that she remains invisible while unconscious or asleep.

Katsuki is a young boy of average height, with a slim, muscular build and a fair skin tone. He has short, spiky, ash-blond hair with choppy bangs that hang over his eyebrows. His eyes are sharp and bright scarlet in color.

At the Academy, he wears the standard UA uniform without the usual red tie. Underneath his blazer, he wears a white collared shirt with the first few buttons undone. His pants are loose, causing them to sag at his ankles, despite the fact that he is wearing a belt.

Katsuki presented himself as a very impulsive, aggressive, and arrogant person, as seen in his treatment of Izuku, whom he constantly physically and psychologically abused, even telling him to kill himself, showing his bastard attitude.

Katsuki showing off his overconfidence. Katsuki showing off his overconfidence. He has a superiority complex, always wanting to be the best at everything and trying to prove it at all costs; however, even with those traits, he knows how to admit when he has been defeated, as demonstrated during the Trial Battle, when at the academy entrance, Izuku tried to explain to him that his One For All Quirk came from another person, and Katsuki interpreted that he was mocking him, so he tried to silence him by saying that he simply beat him.[4]

Katsuki's usual fighting expression. Katsuki's usual fighting expression. In battle, he tends to be quite bloodthirsty and aggressive, to the point of making the word "shine" a catchphrase. His brutal fighting style is shown in the battle test, where he mercilessly attacks Izuku and carelessly destroys everything in the enclosed environment in which they were located. Despite this and regardless of his lack of compassion, he has been recognized for his enormous talent and skill in fighting, since he not only attacks and destroys, but is also able to use his Quirk to move in the air. This has been highlighted by Momo Yaoyorozu, Shoto Todoroki[5] and All Might himself.[6]

Although he's not the hero with the best character, as the story progresses his behavior slowly begins to mature, becoming less rude and arrogant. As the year goes on, he starts to trust and cooperate with his classmates, whom he previously rejected because he wanted to do everything on his own, neither helping nor expecting to be helped.

Explosion: Katsuki's Quirk allows him to secrete nitroglycerin through the sweat on his hands and detonate it at will to create explosions [7]. The more Bakugo sweats, the stronger his explosions become [8]. As Best Jeanist indicated, Katsuki has a strong understanding of the applications of his Quirk [9]. He usually uses small, powerful explosions from his hands not only to blast his opponents, but also to propel himself and move through the air, among other uses unrelated to combat. He can maintain the sequence of his explosions long enough to destroy a giant ice wall created by Shoto [10].

The explosions are powerful enough to send his opponents flying without much time for them to react[11]. He can use them quickly enough to evade incoming attacks, even in the air.[10][12] His most powerful explosion to date (without the need for the grenade armbands) was used to completely destroy Ochaco Uraraka's meteor shower, and send her flying away from him with the following shockwave that shook the entire Sports Festival stadium[13]. Although he later uses it several times in a row when facing All Might in the physical test of the final exam.

Katsuki suffers some impact from his explosions depending on their magnitude, but the overall effect is minimal given his physical conditioning. He is capable of activating constant explosions around him without feeling any negative repercussions, even after many powerful explosions. However, excessive use can result in Bakugo injuring his arms from the force of the powerful explosions.

Another drawback of Katsuki's quirk is that he is unable to use his explosions in areas filled with flammable gas, as his explosions would ignite the gas and spread it even further.

Momo is a young and attractive woman with a very mature physique for her age, also being one of the tallest students in Class 1-A. She has elongated eyes, fair skin, and dull black hair with a straight, pointed strand hanging on her forehead on the right side; her hair is tied in a large, pointed ponytail.

During school hours, she wears the standard female uniform, which consists of a grey blazer with blue-green stripes, a formal white shirt, a red tie, a blue-green pleated skirt, black knee-high socks, and brown shoes.

Momo is an intelligent, strong, dedicated person and a natural leader. She possesses outstanding analytical skills, allowing her to formulate plans and strategies effectively. Thanks to the versatility of her gift, she has no problem executing these strategies successfully.

Momo Yaoyorozu happy Momo is happy to help his teammates. Momo can be a little blunt with her explanations, but that's because she wants her classmates to improve and become great heroes, proving herself to be very understanding and empathetic. As such, she's also willing to help her classmates study alongside her. Momo seems to enjoy being in a teaching position quite a bit, as she immediately rejoices when her classmates want to learn from her.

Momo is generally very calm and sensible, even in dangerous situations, although that doesn't mean she can't panic. While initially confident in her abilities, after being quickly defeated by Fumikage Tokoyami in the Sports Festival, Momo tended to compare herself to others like Shoto Todoroki, believing they were better than her, which caused her self-esteem to plummet to the point of internal conflict when making decisions.

Momo regaining confidence in herself. However, thanks to the final exams and Shoto's confidence during his fight against Eraserhead, Momo has become much more objective and self-assured in making decisions, learning not to give up no matter what, even when weakened or in danger, and that all people have different abilities and priorities, as well as that all beings are incomplete, needing their own reasons to complete themselves; in her case, to be a hero.

Momo can be very serious, but she can also stoop to getting into absurd situations with the rest of her class, such as being cheerleaders (although she rarely expresses enthusiasm when doing so).

Creation: Momo's Gift grants him the ability to create any inert material from his exposed body through molecular manipulation of his fat cells. As long as he understands how something is made, he can create it, although it takes a longer period of time (and more of his exposed skin) to create large objects.

She claims that the more she eats, the more material she has to work with, so she needs considerable food intake for her Quirk to be effective, with the danger that she will likely lose excessive weight if used too much. As part of her training, Momo consumed large amounts of food to increase the effectiveness of her Quirk and reduce the amount of time needed to create objects.

Shota is a tall, thin, pale-skinned man with messy shoulder-length black hair that hangs partially in front of his face and half-open black eyes. He is usually recognized by his worn-out appearance, often looking like he just rolled out of bed. His facial hair remains unkempt and his eyes almost always look tired and flat.

Shota sports a ragged black outfit consisting of a long-sleeved shirt and matching pants that clip to his boots. He also wears a utility belt and his wraparound scarf at all times. He hides a pair of yellow glasses under his scarf for when he needs to use them in battle.

Shota is a very strict and mostly reserved man who has high expectations of his students. He is primarily driven by logic and doesn't believe in the need to maintain a clean image or filter his words or ideas for others. He often appears cold, apathetic, and impatient, expending very little energy in most situations, preferring to nap in his sleeping bag.

Shota encouraging his students Shota encouraging his students. As a teacher with high expectations, Shota is known for expelling students he deems unsuitable for UA Academy, although it's noteworthy that he hasn't yet expelled any students from Class 1-A despite his reputation for doing so. He can be rigid and strict when necessary and also has little tolerance for disobedient behavior. Shota isn't afraid to subject his students to rigorous training and often pushes the most unpleasant aspects of heroism so his students can push their limits.

Shota has proven to be very vocal and unafraid to express his opinions. He has mentioned on several occasions that some of UA's options regarding exams are impractical or not challenging enough for true aspiring heroes, and he is adamant about changing certain systems used by the institution. He also openly stated that he didn't believe Izuku Midoriya could become a hero when they first met, and he is known for lying to his students to manipulate them into giving their best, a technique he describes as "logical deception" / "rational deception".

Aizawa38 Shota doing one of his "rational deceptions". Despite his apathetic traits, Shota truly cares about his students and will do everything possible to protect them, such as when he saves Tsuyu Asui from Tomura Shigaraki despite his serious injuries.

Eraser: Gives the ability to nullify the Gift and abilities of the Gifts of their targets simply by looking at them.

After suffering serious injuries at the USJ, Shota can't use his Quirk for as long and needs to rest longer between erasing.

Although powerful, this ability has many drawbacks:

The erasing function is deactivated if Shota blinks or if his line of sight is obstructed. This ability gives Shota dry eyes, forcing him to blink more often when using the power continuously. His Gift has no effect against those of the mutation type. Eraser Head causes Shota's hair to stand on end while it's active, allowing his enemies to see when his Quirk is active or not. This peculiarity has no offensive potential.
