Hitoshi Shinsou

Quirk: Brainwashing
Activation: The quirk activates when someone verbally responds to him. He must actively will it to work; it does not activate randomly.
Effect: Once activated, he can control the target's actions, though they may retain some awareness.
Limitations: The control is not absolute; a strong physical hit can break the control, and he can only control one person at a time, though he can issue multiple simple commands.
Weaknesses: His quirk is useless against someone who remains silent. He also lacks the natural combat ability of those with more flashy quirks.

Looks
Hair: Messy, indigo-colored hair with large tufts sticking out.
Eyes: Dark purple eyes that are often half-closed, with white pupils and no visible eyelashes.
Expression: He typically has a lax or tired expression on his face.

Determined and focused: He is driven by a strong desire to become a hero, and despite facing discrimination, he is committed to proving his worth.
Stoic and reserved: He often appears quiet and reserved, but can be very straightforward and even provocative if it helps him get the upper hand.
Clever: He is intelligent and knows how to use his words to get people to respond, which is crucial for activating his quirk.
Resilient: Having faced doubt because of his quirk, he has developed a strong sense of resilience and is not afraid to take an underhanded approach to win
