History

According to Ms. Joke, Ketsubutsu Academy has a rivalry with U.A. High School and tries to crush them every year in the preliminaries of the Provisional Hero License Exam. The class stayed true to tradition by attacking Shota Aizawa's Class 1-A.

Itejiro's body language suggests he is a shy boy who prefers to be alone. However, Itejiro is very confident in his own abilities and tries to maintain a certain level of grace in his performances. This grace makes Itejiro apologize for his abilities, even when he uses them to help others. Itejiro Toteki (投擲 射手次郎 Tōteki Itejirō?), also known as Boomerang Man (ブーメランマン Būmeranman?), is a second-year and later third-year student at Ketsubutsu Academy.

Personality

Ketsubutsu launches ball-shaped projectiles at his rivals, hoping to hit and eliminate them. Class 1-A shows they've improved since the sports festival and easily defends against the attack. Shikkui Makabe hardens some of the projectiles and gives them to Itejiro. Itejiro uses his Quirk to launch the projectiles with pinpoint accuracy. Confident in his aim, he sends the balls underground to surprise Class 1-A.

Itejiro is surprised when Kyoka Jiro shatters the ground with her ultimate technique, Heartbeat Fuzz. This exposes the projectiles, and Itejiro redirects them toward Minoru Mineta. Mina Ashido's Acid Veil protects her partner and melts the projectiles completely.
