Tomura was a thin man with fair skin, yellowed teeth, and many wrinkles around his eyes, caused by allergies that had irritated the surrounding skin since childhood. His lips were cracked and uneven, with a small mole on the right, below the lip, and visible scars on his right eye and left lip. He had disheveled, bluish-gray hair of varying lengths, with the longest curls reaching his shoulders, hanging over his face in irregular waves. His eyes and mouth were usually hidden, but when visible, they were generally wide open, somewhat manically, with small, bright red irises.

Tenko Shimura, better known as Tomura Shigaraki (Japanese: 死柄木弔, Shigaraki Tomura), is the main antagonist of the My Hero Academia franchise. He serves as Izuku Midoriya's archenemy.

He is the leader of the League of Villains and the commander of the Paranormal Liberation Front, whose overall goal is to become the next greatest villain in Japan and destroy anything or anyone in his path. At the beginning of the series, Tomura lacks a clear conviction and relies on All For One to provide all the resources he needs. His initial goal was to destroy hero society, specifically All Might, for whom he harbored great hatred.

Since All For One's imprisonment, however, Tomura has slowly begun to learn and become a more independent villain, forming the conviction to destroy everything he despises, ultimately wanting to bring down the world as a whole. Upon defeating Re-Destro and his Meta Liberation Army, Rikiya submitted to his commands and made Tomura the grand commander of the Paranormal Liberation Front. Later, Tomura underwent an exhaustive medical operation to implant his master's original All For One Quirk, but as a consequence, his master took control of his body. However, Tomura slowly resisted his possession and eventually usurped his master as the true user of All For One, continuing his destructive crusade against everything he hates.

Shigaraki wears loose, dark clothing, and sometimes he wears his hair tied in a high ponytail. He also likes to dye his hair blue-gray or white.

Tomura Shigaraki was a very perverted, malevolent, and maliciously deformed young man. He didn't care about his own life or the lives of almost anyone else, having no scruples about committing evil acts such as murdering innocent people. Shigaraki was also bad-tempered and antisocial; he enjoyed provoking others before killing them.

Shigaraki really likes video games and gaming, he enjoys alcohol, whiskey, and sometimes cigarettes when he's bored.

If he uses all five fingers of his hands on people or other things, they disintegrate into gray dust. To avoid disintegration, he has to remove one finger to fully touch anything, leaving one finger free.

Personality Like most villains in My Hero Academia, Tomura is disgusted with the way society is. He hates heroes, especially All Might for being the symbol of peace. During his battle against the heroes, Tomura expresses his deep hatred for society, stating that they didn't help him when he needed it most. Tomura also hates those who admire All Might, such as Izuku Midoriya and the Hero Killer Stain. Unlike the Hero Killer, however, Tomura is averse to carnage and, to some extent, fame. His most striking characteristic is not only the desire to eliminate hero society, but to improve himself as a villain, learning from his mistakes and growing from them in a manner similar to Izuku Midoriya.

Sometimes, Tomura can become extremely furious about anything that doesn't go his way, such as not receiving any recognition for the Nomus that attacked civilians in Hosu or for people constantly praising the Hero Killer in front of him. Tomura also shows himself to be very arrogant and childishly sadistic. He has no qualms about threatening someone's life, whether it's a civilian or a UA student. When he started recruiting for the League of Villains, he tried to kill Himiko Toga and Dabi simply because the former was psychotic, and the latter was there because of Stain, not Tomura.

Despite his initial gratitude to his master, Tomura comes to detest All For One upon learning of his plan to use his body as a vessel, as this interferes with his own goal of forging his own path as a villain. To this end, he does everything to reject All For One and attempts to regain control of his body, refusing to be a pawn in his schemes. However, his hatred would serve as a catalyst that would allow his mind and All For One's to merge into one being. At the moment of the final battle, Tomura's mind nearly merged with All For One's, creating a new entity that contains Tomura's destructive and nihilistic worldviews while retaining All For One's desire to rule it. However, despite this, a small consciousness of Tenko remains within Tomura's mind, continuing to reject All For One and pleading to be saved.

However, Tomura makes it clear that he and "Tenko" are the same person who share the common goal of seeing society brought to destruction, believing that his hatred stems from what happened to him during his childhood. As a result, he manages to fully regain control of his body and makes it clear to Midoriya that the only thing that will save him is seeing everything destroyed. Tomura demonstrated sadistic glee in All For One nearly killing All Might, only allowing Midoriya the option to save him because it meant he could kill everyone at UA. When his master died, instead of showing contempt, Tomura actually blamed himself for All For One's death, stating that he should have broken Bakugo harder and is actually still grateful for everything All For One did for him. He mocks Midoriya for wanting to save him and claims he has abandoned his humanity, though he also expresses a desire to create a flattened horizon that "Spinner was totally eager to do," showing that Tomura still cares about his friends and has humanity despite his claims. In another way.

Despite this, Tomura doesn't hate his family, with the exception of his father, as shown in his hallucinations, where he holds no grudge against his sister when she apologizes to him and assures his mother that he's alright, even reverting to a childlike state in front of her. However, he also realizes that they are an obstacle to his goals and chooses to abandon them whenever they interfere. Although once he joins the Paranormal Liberation War, Tomura begins to believe his father was right all along, stating that heroism is nothing more than selfish heroes who ignore those they abandon, which in turn transforms those people into villains. With a system that rejected him and all his fellow villains, Tomura says this is why he's leading the destruction of hero society.

This shows that, despite all his cruelty and madness, Tomura is at heart a broken and tragic person who couldn't find his place in a world that rejected him and ended up falling into villainy because of All For One, who, despite everything, was the only one who supported him. Izuku can also see a crying child inside Tomura, proving that part of Tenko still exists and wants to be saved.

Over time, Tomura slowly learned to become independent of All For One's teachings and become more independent. He now participates in activities alongside his companions, and his frustration has been significantly reduced to a more serene nature, although there are times when he can still get irritated. Since Gigantomachia encountered him, Tomura has developed an energetic side that keeps him moving even without needing to sleep, and has shown a more restless nature as a result.

When Tomura was a boy, he was originally a bright and happy person who loved heroes, although at the same time, he feared his father, as he would be punished by the latter whenever he created heroes around him. When none of Tomura's family members came to his aid during his abuse, Tomura began to develop a nihilistic personality, in which he felt that no one loved him and that the world around him was cruel and unforgiving. After his quirk manifested and he accidentally killed his family, Tomura begged his father for help, but after being attacked, he intentionally killed him for all his abuse and was satisfied with himself. The events of him killing his family left an emotional scar on him that held back his true potential for a time. Due to the trauma he experienced, Tomura initially felt great remorse for killing his family, especially considering that he loved them deeply, but once he learned to let go of that feeling, Tomura no longer expressed guilt for his actions. Instead, his memories now only serve as fuel that strengthens his hatred and desire to destroy society.

Despite his usual malicious attitude, he cares deeply for his master, All For One, and will listen to what he says and worry about him while he battles All Might with his weakened body. He also refused to think of his subordinates as expendable and continues to encourage them. Initially, Tomura was preoccupied with world domination alone, but as time passed, he grew fond of the League of Villains' growth. He no longer sees them merely as subordinates, but as family, and ultimately plans to rule the world alongside them. His care for his subordinates was further shown when he became furious when Overhaul killed Magne, blew up Mr. Compress, and willingly used his henchmen as human shields without a second thought. He didn't punish him twice, despite being the one who brought Overhaul there. He also displayed sadistic glee after mutilating and leaving Overhaul crippled and unable to use his Quirk as revenge for his actions against the League of Villains, showing the deep contempt he had for him.

Tomura continues to show concern for his subordinates, as when Himiko asked if he would destroy everything she likes, he stated that while he intends to destroy everything he despises, his allies are the only exceptions to his goal. He was disgusted by Meta Liberation for toying with Twice's emotions, stating that he will not forgive them for it, claimed to have bonded with Spinner over video games, and was also seen taking the League out to lunch, further demonstrating his concern for them.

Interesting facts Early concept art depicts Tomura slightly differently from his final design. Tomura is shown with empty eye sockets, sporting a creepy, toothless grin. The tubes attached to his hands are much longer and hang loosely. He also appears to use two large arms as arm gauntlets. Tomura appears to suffer from an excoriation disorder, as he is constantly shown scratching himself, especially when frustrated. His skin also seems to be very sore, particularly around his neck. It is later revealed that this is a result of allergies he developed during childhood. Although the story recounts how Izuku Midoriya became the greatest hero, it also focuses on how Tomura Shigaraki will possibly become the greatest villain, as Tomura Shigaraki serves as a dark reflection of Izuku Midoriya. Like Midoriya, Shigaraki starts out quite naive and insecure about his power and position, but gradually begins to mature and become more confident. Tomura's past contrasts with Eri's, in that both accidentally killed their families as a result of being unable to control their Quirks, but unlike Eri who was saved by a hero, Tomura was saved and raised by a villain who led him down a dark path.
