A Quirk that allows the user to fire a powerful, blazing laser directly from their navel. A major drawback of his Quirk is that it cannot be activated for more than one second. Failure to do so results in severe abdominal pain, forcing Yuga to wear a special support belt for the rest of his life.

Yugi's Hero Suit has expanded his Quirk's potential, allowing him to also fire lasers from his shoulders and knees.

Yuga Aoyama is a narcissistic and prideful individual who loves being the center of attention, even though he's often simply ignored. He considers his quirk to be the most striking compared to his classmates'. Most of the time, he wears a slight smile, which doesn't fade even when he's afraid. He's easily offended by interruptions or neglect. He tends to flaunt his origins by incorporating French phrases into his sentences.

In reality, all of the above is simply a mask concealing his true feelings. Yuga doesn't put himself above others and is perfectly aware that his Quirk doesn't mesh well with his body, but he still dreams of one day becoming "normal."

Yuga is no stranger to kindness and compassion. Once, wanting to cheer up a classmate, he showed a somewhat odd[1] concern for Izuku, as he believed their Quirk issues were similar, and during the Provisional License Exam, Yuga was willing to act as bait just to allow another classmate, Tenya, to pass the exam.[2]

Yuga tries not to engage in open combat with the enemy, preferring to hide in the nearest shelter, but at the same time he is ready to sacrifice his own safety to save a classmate.[3]

Yuga is a young man with a slender build and rather feminine features. He has light blond hair, long eyelashes, and indigo eyes.

His hero costume consists of a jet-black suit, over which he wears shiny silver armor with gold accents throughout, a shimmering indigo cape, and red V-shaped goggles. His costume also includes a special support belt with a large blue crystal framed in gold, as well as miniature versions of this device on his shoulders and knees.
