03 || Hitoshi Shinsou

Looks Hair: Messy, tuft-like indigo hair. Eyes: Dark purple, often half-closed, with a lax expression. Other features: Has dark irises and visible pupils.

Past Discrimination: He was constantly told in junior high that he was suited to be a villain because of his Quirk, which led to fear and social isolation. Resentment: This treatment fostered resentment towards those with "heroic" Quirks, though he still desired to be a hero himself. Training: He enrolled in U.A. High School's General Education department, failing the entrance exam for the Hero Course. Mentorship: He was taken under the wing of Pro Hero Shota Aizawa (Eraser Head) and began extensive training to transfer into the Hero Course.

Personality Stoic and reserved: Due to his past, Hitoshi has a distant attitude and doesn't easily make friends, though he is slowly warming up to the idea. Provocative: He can be intentionally provocative if it benefits him, such as when he insulted someone to make them respond to his Quirk. Driven and resilient: He is highly motivated to become a hero despite being told his Quirk was too villainous. He wants to prove himself and defy the labels others have put on him. Observational: Hitoshi is highly observant, noticing details and reading people's body language, which helps him strategize.

Quirk: Brainwashing Ability: Hitoshi can brainwash anyone who verbally responds to him, controlling their actions once they've replied. Limitations: He can only control one person at a time and must concentrate on his target. Advancements: Hitoshi has been shown to overcome some of his Quirk's limitations, such as being able to make brainwashed victims speak and preventing their emotions from interfering with commands. Support Gear: He uses artificial vocal cords to mimic voices to trick opponents into responding and a capturing weapon similar to Eraser Head's for grappling and restraining.
