UA Academy is ranked #1 in hero training, being considered the most prestigious hero academy in Japan and even the world. Many highly regarded and recognized heroes trained at this academy, some examples being 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.

In terms of its structure, UA Academy features an entrance with a security wall nicknamed the "UA Academy Barrier," which automatically closes if a person doesn't have a student ID card or special entrance ID. Throughout history, many precautionary measures have been taken to keep both the press and villains out of the institution.

Neito's cunning was further displayed during the final round of the joint training battle. Neito had Hitoshi Shinso use his "Artificial Vocal Cords: Personal Cords" to mimic Ochaco's scream in order to successfully catch an unsuspecting scout Izuku. He explained that Class 1-B knows not to underestimate a powerful combatant like Izuku, so Neito planned to have his team defeat Izuku's teammates before facing the latter. As part of his provocations, Neito claimed that Izuku's teammates were in trouble and then asked how Katsuki can smile after being the cause of All Might's retreat, causing Izuku to finally snap, consequently leading to One For All running out of control. After Ochaco subdued him, Neito explained that while he uses the clocks on his hero costume to keep track of the time limits for his copied Quirks, he keeps 3 clocks visible to trick his opponents into believing that the number of clocks represents the maximum number of Quirks he can copy. Furthermore, despite being captured, Neito knew that Izuku was chasing Hitoshi and through delayed reaction, he was able to hinder Izuku with Twin Impact, which Neito had copied from Nirengeki Shoda.

Neito is shown to be a very intelligent individual, along with a strategic and analytical mind. He formulated a strategy for Class 1-B during the first stage of the Sports Festival, which involved the students of said class purposefully placing low in the Obstacle Course, correctly guessing that it was only the preliminary round and none of them would be cut from the Sports Festival. This tactic was employed so that Class 1-B could observe the other students and then have the advantage of learning their Quirks, all while keeping his own powers hidden. During the sparring portion of the Festival, Neito was easily able to see through Ochaco's true strategy when she fought Katsuki, something that many of the audience members, including the current Pro Heroes, did not notice until much later.

Neito may lack hand-to-hand combat skills, but he makes up for it with his proficient handling of his Quirk. Neito possesses essentially the same advantages and disadvantages as the original Quirk user he copied. Additionally, his ability to switch between Quirks makes him a more versatile and unpredictable opponent to fight in group battles, where he has more opportunities to copy multiple Quirks, whether from friends or foes.
In the UA Sports Festival Cavalry Battle, he copied the Quirks of Katsuki Bakugo and Eijiro Kirishima and flawlessly used the copied Quirks to take the highly capable Katsuki by surprise, twice. During the Joint Training Battle, he casually had the mettle to take on Izuku Midoriya, one of the most powerful students in Class 1-A, but before he could, Izuku's Quirk went awry. After taming Izuku's Quirk, Neito was still able to take him by surprise, take down the former, and attempt to copy his Quirk. Unfortunately, Neito's efforts proved futile as he realized that he was unable to copy One For All, a stacking-type Quirk, resulting in the tuxedo-wearing student being subdued by Ochaco Uraraka's close-quarters combat skills.

Neito is a young, medium-sized boy with straight, blond hair, which gets shorter as he lowers his head, styled in a way that parts to the left, with his bangs hanging over his right eye. His irises are periwinkle violet, his pupils white, and his eyes are shaped so that they slant towards the far sides of his face, usually staying half-closed; this, along with his trademark smile and head tilt, gives him a rather contemptuous look.

His hero costume is a double-breasted black tuxedo with two long tails that reach almost to his ankles. Three watches hang from one of the two belts around his waist, presumably to help him keep track of his Quirk's time limit, and he leaves his shirt collar backward, wearing a blue and black dotted tie around his neck. Both his coat and pants are black, with the exception of his sleeve cuffs and the insides of his tails, and his shoes are white with a simple design.

Despite his dismissive and competitive attitude towards Class 1-A, he has been shown to demonstrate compassion and understanding towards his fellow Class 1-B members. He tends to approach them with an encouraging attitude and never looks down on them, only giving them constructive criticism when needed, an example of this being when he tries to comfort Setsuna Tokage after she and her team lost to Class 1-A in the Team Training Match. He also appears to be relatively confident in Class 1-B's abilities and is seen bragging about Kinoko Komori's Quirk to the rival class, stating that they shouldn't have underestimated her and that she is someone to be feared. Neito is also shown to be able to put aside his dismissive front outside of class, as seen when he explained the nature of his Quirk to Shota, Izuku, and Eri.

His manner of speaking is similar to Seiji Shishikura's, as he tends to use more eloquent words than strictly necessary, especially when addressing the students of Class 1-A. This is most prominently seen in the Joint Training Arc.

Neito is shown to be calm, composed, and intelligent. Among the students of Class 1-B, he is the most fervent in wanting to bring down Class 1-A's popularity. He can also be nasty, sarcastic, and vocal when around the rival class. He appears to be jealous of Class 1-A's popularity but is also concerned that whenever they struggle, it will also endanger the rest of the school. When he hears of Class 1-A failing in some way, he will usually scoff loudly and passive-aggressively ask how they could possibly fail since they are destined to be the top class. Most of the time when this happens, Kendo manages to restrain Neito before he gets too carried away, apologizing on his behalf to whoever he was insulting.

He has been shown to have something of a superiority complex, as he takes any opportunity he can to mock and challenge anyone from Class 1-A. This even extends to using himself to poke fun at the students of Class 1-A, such as when he mocks the five who had to take supplementary lessons during the School Trip arc, saying that it is strange that so many of them failed, with this one being the only one to fail from Class 1-B. When he mocks too much, his Class 1-B classmate Itsuka Kendo hits him in the neck to calm him down. People have cited him as being mentally unstable, but this is more than likely a joke on his obsession with surpassing Class 1-A.
Despite his bitterness and overconfidence, he seems to feel somewhat threatened and intimidated by Class 1-A due to their abilities, as shown when he sighs in relief after learning he doesn't have to face them in the Provisional License Exam. He switches back to his usual disdainful outlook, but he's possibly using this as a cover to reveal his true emotions.
