Family: Mother Occupation: Hero's Sidekick UA student

Affiliation: Mustafa Private High School (Before) Fat Gum Agency UA High School

Fighting style: Close combat

Appearance: Appearance Eijiro is a muscular young man of average height with an impressive physique for his age. He has slightly upturned red eyes, a small scar just above his right eye, thin eyebrows, and sharp teeth. His hair is quite long, dyed a bright red, styled with gel, and spiked at all angles, with two more pronounced strands on either side of his forehead resembling small horns. This stylish hairstyle takes three minutes to create. During his time at Mustafa Private High School, he wore his hair naturally black: a little below his shoulders, with shorter bangs between his eyes. He changed it to his current style shortly after being accepted into UA High School. His high school uniform consisted of a short-sleeved white shirt, buttoned and tucked in, black pants, and brown dress shoes.

At UA, he wears the standard UA uniform, but with dark red athletic shoes instead of the usual brown dress shoes.

Appearance pt2: In his hero costume, Eijiro wears two dark red, gear-shaped shoulder pads. A similarly colored, jagged sash connects the left shoulder pad to the right side of his red belt, which has a lighter red "R" in the center, representing his hero name: Red Riot. Underneath, he wears baggy black pants and a red half-cape with a tattered hem. He also sports dark red boots and thick rings around his calves. His chest is bare, and he wears a protective wire mask around his face, extending from just above his hairline to below his jaw, with an additional piece over the bridge of his nose and some pointed pieces around his mouth that resemble small fangs. Overall, his appearance is somewhat reminiscent of an Oni.

During the Provisional Hero License Exam Arc, Eijiro's suit later acquired black sleeves, which he uses to prevent civilians from being injured by his Quirk during rescues. By using Unbreakable, he hardens his body as much as possible, taking on an extremely tough form and giving it a monstrous appearance.

Personality: Eijiro is a boisterous and extroverted boy with a strong affinity for masculinity, often using the terms "manly" and "unmanly" to describe things and people he likes or dislikes, respectively. Those who display a noble, courageous, or determined attitude often move him to tears, quickly earning his admiration, respect, and friendship. He also criticizes the opposite traits, such as cowardice and dirty play. Eijiro is determined and selfless, bravely putting the safety of others before his own. He is also a big fan of Crimson Riot, a retro hero who inspires him, including his personal values ​​and even his name. Eijiro is very honest and kind, with a straightforward way of thinking and a strict code of chivalry that motivates him to live without regrets. Thanks to his respectful and encouraging attitude, he easily befriends most people he meets, particularly those who share his passion and determination. Loyal and devoted to his friends, Eijiro is willing to break laws and rules to help or save them, feeling remorseful if he can't. He has a strong sense of responsibility, sometimes being very hard on himself for any adverse outcome that might befall him or his friends. As such, he is always thinking about improving his skills and strengths so as not to feel weak or a burden to others. This is how Eijiro overcame his past impulsiveness in battle and poor academic performance; as a result of his hard work, he has become more intelligent and wiser over time.

Personality pt2: Eijiro has stated more than once that he doesn't have a very high opinion of his own Hardening Quirk, thinking it lacks the flashiness usually found among Pro Heroes. He will be completely offended if he sees someone with a similar Quirk. [8] Eijiro worries about not having a Quirk good enough for hero work and that his abilities can't compare to those of other hero prospects. Much of this self-doubt seems to have stemmed from an incident in middle school when he saw Mina Ashido stop a first-year student from being bullied and save some students from a threatening figure. [9][10] His friends pointed out that Mina would quickly become a hero due to her outgoing personality and athletic nature. After this, Eijiro considered himself boring and pathetic for his inaction and helplessness. However, thanks to an old recorded interview with his idol, Eijiro gained the perspective he needed to regain his composure and overcome most of his insecurities. From that moment on, Eijiro began to work, study, and train diligently. [10]

Eijiro decided to reinvent himself after being accepted into UA High School, adopting a tough, confident, and passionate persona that he considers ideal for the hero he wants to be: Red Riot. While Eijiro may not be as passionate and competitive as Katsuki Bakugo, he doesn't hesitate to compare himself to him, and Izuku states that the two have managed to develop a relationship of equals. As a result, Eijiro is notably one of the few people Katsuki holds in high regard.

Quirk: Hardening ( , Kōka ? )硬こう化か : Eijiro's Quirk gives him the power to harden and sharpen any or all parts of his body, making his flesh become uneven and rock-like.

There is a limit to the amount of damage his hardened body can withstand, causing the hardening to slowly dissipate and Eijiro to lose stamina from fighting to keep his Quirk active. [19] However, when he fought Kendo Rappa, Red Riot showed the ability to strengthen his hardened body mid-combat.

As part of his training, Eijiro, in his hardened form, was continuously attacked by Mashirao Ojiro's Tail, and with each blow, the strength and durability of his Quirk increased.

Enhanced Stamina: Eijiro's Quirk grants him significantly enhanced stamina. His hardened body has demonstrated the ability to withstand great punishment for extended periods, including:

Several tons of scrap metal from a Villain Bot - Executor falling on him. A series of point-blank explosions by Katsuki. He was shot. A shower of swords produced by a villain whose swordsmanship was enhanced by Trigger. A series of powerful Kendo strikes. Chimera's fire breath at full power point-blank. Dabi's flames burning his body. Gigantomachia snatches it away.

Enhanced Strength: By using his Quirk, Eijiro's physical strength increases, allowing him to overcome most obstacles. He demonstrated this on multiple occasions during the Sports Festival, such as when he dug through the wreckage of villainous robots and defeated metal structures. In his arm wrestling match against Tetsutetsu, his fingers pierced concrete, shattering the podium. He was also able to:

Break down several concrete walls (along with Rikido Sato) during a fight with Cementoss. Destroy blades with a single elbow strike. Destroy a concrete wall with Izuku's help. Throw a punch that's strong enough
