Eijiro Kirishima (切きり島しま鋭えい児じ郎ろう Kirishima Eijirō ?), also known as Resilient Hero: Red Riot (剛健ヒーロー 烈レッ怒ド頼ライ雄オッ斗ト Gōken Hīrō Reddo Raiotto ?), is a student from Class 1-A of the UA Academy, who is training to become a professional hero.

Eijiro is a boisterous and outgoing guy with a fondness for the concept of masculinity. Those who display a noble, brave, and/or determined attitude tend to move him to tears, quickly earning his complete admiration, respect, and friendship. He is also a big fan of Crimson Riot, a retro hero from whom he draws inspiration, including personal values ​​and his own hero name.
Eijiro is very honest and kind-hearted, and follows a specific code of chivalry that motivates him to live without regret. His respectful attitude means that he is easily able to make friends with most people, particularly those who display as much determination as he does. Eijiro is very loyal and dedicated to his friends, and is even willing to break laws and regulations to help them, and regrets that he is unable to come to their aid. Eijiro has a strong sense of responsibility, sometimes being very hard on himself for any negative outcomes that befall him or his friends.
Eijiro has stated more than once that he doesn't think very highly of his own Quirk, thinking that it lacks the ostentation usually found in a Hero. In fact he is downright offended if he meets someone with a similar Quirk. Eijiro is also concerned that he doesn't have a Quirk good enough for hero work, worrying that his skills can't compare to others.

Much of this doubt seems to stem from an incident in high school when Eijiro saw Mina Ashido saving some students from a threatening figure. Eijiro's friends pointed out that Mina will easily become a hero due to her outgoing personality and athletic nature. After this Eijiro thought of himself as boring and considered himself pathetic for his inaction and helplessness, but thanks to an old recorded interview of his idol, Eijiro was able to gain 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.

Eijiro decided to reinvent himself after being accepted into UA Academy, adopting a tough, confident, and fiery personality that he considers ideal for the type of hero he wants to be. Although Eijiro may not be as passionate and competitive as Katsuki Bakugo, he does not shy away from comparing himself to him and Izuku states that the two have managed to develop a relationship as equals. As a result Eijiro is notably one of the few people Katsuki holds in high regard.

Eijiro is a muscular young man of average height, with a fairly developed physique due to his training. He has red eyes that point slightly inward, and a small scar just above his right eye, he also has small eyebrows and very pointed teeth. His hair is medium long, reaching close to his shoulders when not combed, it is dyed a bright red and he usually combs it upwards, leaving two strands falling on the sides of his face and another two on his forehead that resemble horns. Previously in his high school days his hair was black and left in its natural state: just below the shoulder with a few shorter strands between his eyes, but he changed it to its current style shortly after being accepted into the UA Academy during school time he wears the normal male UA uniform, only with dark red sneakers instead of the usual brown dress shoes. In his Hero Costume he wears two dark red gear-shaped shoulder pads, an irregular sash that has a red "R" placed in its center representing his hero name "Red Riot". Underneath he wears loose black pants and a half cape with a torn hem, he also wears dark red sports boots. He leaves his chest bare and wears a guard that surrounds his nose and jaw, an extra piece that goes over the bridge of his nose, and some spiked pieces around his mouth that resemble small fangs. This overall appearance makes him look a bit like an Oni. Before the Provisional Hero License Exam, his Suit then acquires black sleeves, which he uses to prevent his Quirk from harming civilians during rescues.

Overall Abilities: Eijiro has proven himself to be a very formidable individual on numerous occasions. His skills earned him second place in the UA Entrance Exam and eighth place in the Quirk Apprehension Test. Thanks to his Quirk, Eijiro's fighting style is direct and reckless, allowing his hardened body to take opposing blows while performing counterattacks. As even bullets cannot pierce his skin when his Quirk is active, Eijiro is capable of becoming a human shield for allies or defenseless civilians.

Enhanced Durability: Even without his quirk, Eijiro has above average durability. According to Katsuki, despite Eijiro being showered with explosions during their fight at the UA Sports Festival, this was not just due to Eijiro's armored skin. This statement shows that Eijiro's natural durability is quite strong, but was amplified by his Hardening.
Enhanced Strength: While using his Quirk, Eijiro's physical strength seems to increase. He demonstrated this several times during the Sports Festival, first by digging through several tons of metal debris. In his fight against Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, his fingers dug through the concrete podium the fight took place on, eventually breaking through to the surface. Eijiro was also able to break multiple metal blades with a single elbow strike, as well as destroy a wall with the help of Izuku. When severely injured, a punch from Eijiro is considered powerful enough to cause Hekiji Tengai, one of the Eight Bullets, to block the attack with a barrier.

Hardening (硬化 Kōka?): Eijiro's Gift allows him to harden any part of his body, increasing the hardness and resistance of the hardened parts, which are used for both attack and defense. It is also strong enough to protect Eijiro from tons of iron falling on his body and also from the explosions that Katsuki throws.

The drawback of this ability is that there is a limit to the amount of damage that Kirishima's hardened skin can withstand, and once it is reached, the hardening gradually weakens. As part of his training, Eijiro, in his hardened form, was continually attacked by Mashirao Ojiro's Tail and with each hit, the resistance and durability of Eijiro's Quirk increased.

Red Counter (烈怒交吽咤レッドカウンター Reddo Kauntā ?): While hardened, Eijiro withstands a short-range attack with his skin and then counterattacks with a direct hit.
Red Riot Unbreakable (Red Riot Unbreakable Reddo Raiotto Anbureikaburu ?): Eijiro reaches his maximum toughness level when he returns his whole body extremely hard and resilient, leaving him with a monstrous appearance and practically invulnerable to the most forms of attack. This form can only be maintained for about 30 to 40 seconds.
Red Gauntlet (烈怒頑斗裂屠レッドガントレット Reddo Gantoretto ?): Eijiro rushes towards the enemy and delivers a powerful blow to the gut against them. If used during Red Riot Unbreakable, causes massive damage.
