Todoroki Shoto

Stoic and Reserved: Shoto is famously calm and collected, rarely showing extreme emotions, cracking jokes, or losing his temper. He speaks in a direct, polite manner and prefers keeping to himself.The "Hot and Cold" Duality: His personality perfectly mirrors his Quirk. While outwardly cool, calculating, and distant, he possesses a deeply passionate, headstrong drive when it comes to heroism and protecting others.Trauma and Growth: Initially harboring deep resentment toward his father, Endeavor, Shoto refused to use his fire abilities as a form of rebellion. After overcoming this mental block during the U.A. Sports Festival, he began to embrace his full power and open up to his classmates.Unintentional Humorousness: Because of his socially isolated childhood, Shoto can sometimes be a bit dense with social cues or figures of speech, occasionally coming off as blunt or unintentionally funny.Dedicated Sense of Duty: He is deeply principled, practical, and highly analytical in battle. He prefers to quickly and efficiently subdue opponents using maximum restraint rather than inflicting unnecessary harm.

Shoto is the youngest of four siblings from Endeavor (Enji Todoroki) and Rei Todoroki. However, unlike his siblings, Shoto was the only one who inherited both Endeavor and Rei's quirks, which was Endeavor's goal with the marriage, Because he wanted a successor who could defeat All Might. When Shoto was a child, he was subjugated to harsh physical training by Endeavor, who would beat Shoto to make him stronger. His mother was also abused by her husband, which resulted in her pouring boiling hot water on the left side of Shoto's face in a fit of shock due to his resemblance to Endeavor, the man who had abused her. The injury caused a scar around his left eye, and negatively affected both Shoto's mental health and his feelings towards his father, alienating himself from his peers. Due to this distaste for his father, he refused to use the fire portion of his Quirk, or socialize with other classmates. After his fight against Izuku Midoriya in the U.A. Sports Festival, Shoto began to be more accepting of his fire powers. Shoto also became more sociable as a result of spending more time with his classmates.

Shoto's Quirk is Half-Cold Half-Hot (半冷半燃, Hanrei Han'nen), which allows him to shoot flames from the left side of his body and freeze things with the right side of his body. However, there are drawbacks to either side's overuse.

Shoto Todoroki (Japanese: 轟 焦凍, Hepburn: Todoroki Shōto), also known by the mononym Shoto (ショート, Shōto), is a superhero and one of the main protagonists of the manga series My Hero Academia, created by Kōhei Horikoshi. The youngest child of pro-hero Endeavor and civilian Rei Todoroki, he is the only one of their four children to have obtained both their respective fire and ice powers, or quirks. Shoto began to despise his father due to experiencing abusive training from him as a child, alongside witnessing how he abused his mother, and initially refused to use his fire powers, only starting to use them again after a fight with UA High classmate Izuku Midoriya.
