"I want the world to be a place where heroes have more free time and do what they know how to do."

Keigo Takami (鷹たか見み啓けい悟ご Takami Keigo ?), also known as Wing Hero: Hawks (ウィングヒーロー ホークス Wingu Hīrō Hōkusu ?), is the former and current No. 3 hero. hero No.2.[2]

Following the Final War, Hawks retires as a professional hero after losing his Quirk to All For One. After this, he becomes the new head of the Hero Public Safety Commission with the goal of changing the professional hero system in society.

Hawks is shown to be highly intelligent, both emotionally and logistically. He promotes a carefree and youthful attitude, while his constant vigilance is often hidden beneath layers of serenity and equanimity. Hawks acts relaxed, while being on constant alert. Due to his past and the way he lived during his childhood, Hawks developed a strong desire to be useful to others, which is why he follows the orders of the Hero Public Safety Commission without hesitation. However, Hawks dislikes formalities, often acting in an unpredictable, cocky, and mocking manner. He acts indifferent and jokingly submissive as he does not care about social status or recognition. He serenely agrees when Katsuki Bakugo claims to have been faster, and reacts with an ironic adaptation when someone says he is younger.

Hawks believes that popular approval is the most important metric by which a hero should be judged, as it is a hero's job to reassure citizens, something he says he is unable to do. Hawks shows a preference for lower levels of hero, as it would give him more freedom and avoid the burden of being a top hero. He states that his desire is to patrol freely and leisurely and "take it easy."

Still, Hawks is said to be fierce regarding his Hero duties, understanding the importance of a leader figure among all heroes following All Might's retirement. When around others he likes, Hawks is very talkative and can casually carry on an extended one-sided conversation while helping dozens of civilians simultaneously in his area of influence. He also states that he will always fight for what he yearns for. Ironically despite his peculiar Quirk, he seems to have a special liking for bird-based meals; making him a raptor.

Hawks is a very intelligent individual, as his cunning is displayed several times as he outsmarts his surveillance monitors, or as he had planned his actions in advance to explain the incident at the top of the mountain. He is rational and has more foresight than other Pro Heroes, allowing him to have the best chances of going undercover. He appears relaxed in high-pressure situations, as was the case with the new year's Hero Rankings for the Best Graphics.

Hawks's mannerisms are vivid, expressive, and highly personalized, as he always wants to convey his voice. He claims to be "bad at maintaining it," even though he possesses complete control over his facial expressions and body language, making him an extremely skilled liar. But he apparently adores the truth, finding lying too much work. These traits allowed him to easily make his way into the Liberation Army, and the slight change in motivation expertly conveyed information about the Liberation Army's objectives and change of leadership to Endeavor. While Hawks appears uninterested in most things, he has a good heart, as he saves all the witnesses to the Hood's attack and is quietly disgruntled by the strain of maintaining his duty to act as a double agent amidst a cabal of villains and terrorists. He also harbors guilt over Endeavor's scar, having brought the High-Gamma Nomu attack into a contained area to reduce casualties.

He appears laid-back and unchallenged, like most prodigies, but he's actually hardworking and constantly under pressure from his Hero career. He claims to have trained tirelessly since childhood to maximize the techniques he uses with his wings, refining his rescue and combat skills.

He's a very charismatic hero, often interacting with his fans and well-liked by the general public. He has the ability to get along with his fans and have casual and informal conversations with them, as well as taking photos with them or filming autographs. However, Hawks has shown to have a serious and very determined side, in which he is willing to use any means to accomplish his job and, if the situation requires it, he is capable of taking justice into his own hands. Seeing the potential threat posed by Twice and then realizing that it would be impossible to stop him if he escaped, he killed him without hesitation, but not before trying to reason with him and convince him to surrender, initially refusing to fight him.

Following the events of the Paranormal Liberation War, Hawks takes responsibility for the aftermath of the war and resolves to resolve unfinished business he ignored for years about his past and to help make himself useful again, especially to Endeavor.

Hawks firmly believes that a person shows their true colors when they are given the power to choose freely and make their own decisions. After the Hero Public Safety Commission shut down his activities, Hawks feels he is now free and in a position to decide what to do with his life from now on, like a new beginning. Likewise, Hawks has decided to remain helpful to others, but this time he will be the one to take the initiative and decide for himself.

Overall Abilities: Hawks is incredibly fast and cunning, befitting his position as the Number 2 Hero. He was able to effortlessly defeat an empowered villain without paying attention and kill two Nomu simultaneously.

Witty Intellect: Hawks has shown to be highly intelligent. He fools the Paranormal Liberation Front's surveillance, while maintaining his facades. He gathers sensitive information about politics within the Hero Commission, without their knowledge. Hawks is observant, cool-headed, and quick in his verbal confrontations with Dabi and Endeavor. Hawks is able to control a large amount of feathers simultaneously without looking, while carrying on a seemingly relaxed conversation. Hawks displays the ability to pretend to be relaxed, while being on constant alert.

Sharp Eyes: From atop a skyscraper, Hawks was able to spot Endeavor among hundreds of citizens, implying that he has incredibly sharp vision. Later, Endeavor observes that Hawks' eyes are even sharper.

Hawks is a relatively short man with a thin, narrow build. He points out, to himself, that his back muscles are not broad enough. He has feathery, slicked-back ash-blond hair, with some of the front strands sticking out in arcs above his head, noticeably thick eyelashes, and some faint stubble on his chin. His eyes are golden brown and fairly triangular in shape, with two small black triangles just below the tear ducts, making his eyes look somewhat bird-like. The markings around his eyes are naturally inborn, as he had them as a child. Due to his Quirk, he has a set of large, bright red wings with feathers that gradually lengthen as they move forward.

He wears a black T-shirt with a wavy gold pattern, over which he wears a light brown jacket with a high collar, fleece-lined sleeves and cuffs, matching pants, and black gloves. He wears red, diamond-shaped earrings, though these are rarely visible as he usually wears a pair of yellow earbuds over them. His earbuds are most likely for protective purposes, as the speeds at which he moves are capable of damaging eardrums beyond repair.

Wide, yellow-tinted goggles protect his eyes, likely from high-speed debris. His jacket is specially modified, with two large slits in the middle of his back, allowing his wings to protrude easily. His suit resembles an aviator's uniform.

Following the events of the Paranormal Liberation War and the injuries inflicted by Dabi, he temporarily used a breathing mask and a voice simulator via text from his cell phone, due to his vocal cords apparently being damaged after his fight. Some time after the War, his hair is slightly shorter and his injuries have healed, leaving only small scars on the lower left side of his jaw and on his neck. He has managed to recover his voice, although his wings are still in the process of recovering.

As of the events of The Dark Hero, Keigo has recovered from his injuries, as well as his vocal cords, but his wings have yet to be fully restored. His hair is also cut much shorter, while the left side of his face bears a jagged scar from his cheek to his neck.

By the time of the Final War, Keigo now wears prosthetic wings so he can attempt to reach his former high speeds, as Recovery Girl's Quirk failed to properly restore them. He also has several katanas, which he uses in place of his since-burned feather blades.

Stiff Wings (剛翼 Gōyoku): This Quirk grants Hawks a pair of large, bright red, feathery wings on his back. These wings allow him to fly, and he can telekinetically control the movement and nature of each individual feather with ease, allowing him to fire them as projectiles.

It can also sense vibrations in the air through them, allowing it to sense people's location, similar to echolocation. The feathers are considerably strong, capable of carrying medium-sized objects, such as rocks or humans, with a single feather for each, or multiple for larger objects.

As he sheds more feathers, his wings gradually shrink, impairing his ability to fly. Once he's lost all of his feathers, it takes at least two days for them to grow back halfway, which can be a considerable weakness. His feathers aren't infinite in number and are shown to be lacking in abundance on occasion. Keigo has stated that he doesn't have enough feathers to support a collapsed building, but he does have enough to evacuate victims from said building. Furthermore, this Quirk's greatest weakness is fire, as it consumes feathers almost instantly.

Feather Blades: Hawks produces two long feathers from each of his wings, manipulates their nature, and uses them as swords to pierce his target. They are sharp enough to slice through two White Nomu summoned by High-End. He is also shown to threaten Dabi with a single feather blade after the attack. Enhanced Speed: By his own admission, Hawks' strong suit isn't muscle power but rather his phenomenal speed. He was able to catch up to Endeavor's attackers from atop a skyscraper in the blink of an eye, and he didn't even seem to be trying, implying that he can go much faster. Hawks resolves most fights so quickly that his sidekicks can't keep up, so he usually just leaves them with the aftermath of his battles while he rushes off to the next case. Vocal Espionage: Hawks can use one of his feathers to distinguish sounds from the moment it changes in the air, allowing him to decode conversations and vocal information by sensing vibrations. Especially after leaving the room or increasing distance, this technique makes him a dangerous spy.
