!!!'''Quirk:''' [[MultiArmedAndDangerous Dupli-Arms]]
->''"I regret it all too. Still... this is no time to let our emotions get the better of us."''
A tall, intimidating, yet friendly young man whose Quirk, "Dupli-Arms", takes the form of multiple arm-shaped tentacles that can replicate any part of his body at their tips; he is often compared to an [[AnimalMotifs octopus]]. For personal reasons, he chooses to always keep his face concealed under a mask.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: The sketches of his original design reveal [[ScaryTeeth how]] his face looks unmasked. Otherwise, it can't be seen in the manga.
* AnatomyAnomaly: He doesn't have any visible ears.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: An octopus. This one is a bit subtle.
* AnArmAndALeg: A villain severs one of his arms during the attack on the training camp. It leaves a nasty gash, but he comes out fine otherwise due to his Quirk. [[GoodThingYouCanHeal Good thing he can heal]].
* TheBigGuy: Standing at a whooping 6'3'', he's the tallest pupil in class 1-A and has the usual HeroicBuild.
* CombatTentacles: Uses them to replicate parts of his body.
* CoolMask: The lower half of his face is always covered by a sort of ninja mask.
* CreepyGood: He is far from heroic-looking, and according to extra material, his mask is used to hide a villainous-looking face, yet he's one of the gentlest kids in Class 1-A.
* {{Determinator}}: In Heroes:Rising, he puts his all into protecting Katsuma and Mahora. Even taking several attacks from Nine's fingerbeams that were even able to seriously hurt Deku and still kept on trucking to protect them!
* EarlyBirdCameo: He appeared during the entrance exam, albeit he could only be seen from a back view.
* ExtraEyes: He can put extra eyes [[EyesDoNotBelongThere at the ends of his tentacles]].
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: And also mouths, ears, etc. He can replicate any body parts on his tentacles.
* FaceOfAThug: According to his character description and some concept art, his face is scary-looking, but he's a NiceGuy who is training to be a Pro Hero. He constantly wears a face mask to deliberately defy this trope.
* FriendToAllChildren: Exemplified best in the second movie, where he protected Mahoro and Katsuma to the best of his ability, even [[spoiler:using his own body to shield them from Nine’s attacks and falling debris]]. He’s also shown to be really kind and gentle when talking with both of them. This pays him back well when Katsuma uses his Quirk to heal him while the two are trying to encourage Bakugo and Deku.
* GentleGiant: He is noticeably taller than most of his classmates, enough to carry two of them on his back, but he's one of the kinder members of Class 1-A.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: In the Forest Training Camp Arc, he gets a hand chopped off by an attacking villain. Fortuitous, as he's the only member of the class who can easily recover from such an injury.
* HealingFactor: Shoji is capable of regrowing lost duplicate limbs, such as a ''double'' duplicate that was cut off from one of his limb branches during the forest trip.
* HiddenDepths: Apart from a desk and a futon, Shoji's room is completely empty. He explains that it's because he hasn't had any "worldly desires" ever since he was young, complete with Todoroki identifying him as a minimalist.
* HorrifyingHero: According to the initial sketches of his character, he took steps to avoid this. He was told his face was terrifying, so he always wears a mask to cover his mouth to avoid scaring people:
-->"I'm used to being feared."
* HumbleHero: As he states, he has no "worldly desires" and seems to live a very simple lifestyle. The dub adds a bit of dry wit to this when he states that he's "never understood why people would want to fill their room with junk."
* LonelyBachelorPad: Subverted. His own room is indeed minimalistic with no furniture at all except for the absolute basics and thus looks very much like this. However, Shoji is merely a teenager so this spartan get up is actually quite uncommon for young man his age.
* LostInTranslation: His hero name in Japanese is pronounced as "Tentakoru", which is close to the Japanese way to pronounce "Tentacle" (Tentakuru), except with "tako" (Japanese for "octopus") inserted in place of "taku", turning his hero name into a PunnyName. This wasn't localized, which means that Shoji's hero name ends up sounding just like a weird corruption of the word "Tentacle".
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: He can grow multiple arms if he wanted as part of his Quirk.
* NiceGuy: He's very kind-hearted and calm most of the time, reassuring Tokoyami he holds no grudge against him after Dark Shadow goes on a rampage, and even rescuing him. He's also one of the few students that seems to tolerate Mineta.
* NonUniformUniform: The only student to wear a sleeveless uniform, in order to accommodate his six arms. That's one of the differences about a post-Quirk world; outfits can be custom-tailored on demand to accommodate unusual needs.
* NotQuiteFlight: The membranes between his arms allow him to glide to a certain extent.
* NotSoStoic:
** When All Might shows up in the USJ Arc, he is seemingly fanboying over it for a second (with [[TooManyMouths at least two big smiles]]).
** During the battle with the League of Villains at the training camp, he visibly freaks out when Dark Shadow's full power is unleashed and it goes completely berserk, destroying everything in its path. Hearing the normally stoic Shoji shouting in a ''panicked voice'' is unnerving.
* PeekABangs: Alongside his mask, they help cover most of his face.
* PunnyName: His name references a proverb: "the walls have ears, the doors have eyes". In this case, it's a reference to the traditional Japanese sliding paper doors, which are called "Shoji". Eavesdropping is the main strength of his Quirk. This is also the case with his hero name, as shown on the LostInTranslation entry.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: He can do this by duplicating more arms to punch with.
* SleevesAreForWimps: Both his school uniform and his hero costume have no sleeves in order to accommodate for his Quirk.
* TheStoic: Mostly keeps level headed and calm, even in dangerous situations, this can be partly said to the fact that, since he has only half of his face showing, it would be harder to show expressions.
* SuperSenses: His hearing is noted to be especially good, and is useful for scoping out large areas.
* SuperStrength: Thanks to his large build and being able to have [[MultiArmedAndDangerous extra arms]], he is one of the class' physical powerhouses.
* TeamDad: The way he looks out for the well-being of his classmates, such as carrying Midoriya on his back when he's injured or wrapping a freezing Tsuyu in all his arms to keep her warm, coupled with his NiceGuy personality makes him a good example.
* TooManyMouths: His Quirk allows him to replicate any body part onto his tentacles; he's occasionally used them for growing mouths.
* WouldHitAGirl: When Toga pinned down an incapacitated Izuku during the kidnapping of Bakugo by the League of villains, he didn't hesitate one-second in slapping her away. Justified because had he not intervened, Toga was fully intending to stab Izuku, potentially fatally.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Despite being the tallest kid in his class, enough to pass off as an adult, Shoji is actually the youngest student; he's almost a whole year younger than the oldest student, Bakugo, even.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KeiShindou (Japanese), Creator/TrinaNishimura (English), Creator/ChrissyCostanza (singing), Creator/PatriciaAzan (Latin American Spanish/TV series), Creator/SandraOlarra (Latin American Spanish/Movies)
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 5 (Manga), Episode 5 (Anime)
!!!'''Playable in:''' ''My Hero Academia: Battle for All'', ''VideoGame/MyHeroOnesJustice'', ''My Hero One's Justice 2''
!!!'''Quirk:''' [[MakeSomeNoise Earphone Jack]]
->"''But there's no time to hesitate, so do it now! You wanna be a hero, don't you?! Then let's pass this test.''"
An aloof and sarcastic student whose Quirk, "Earphone Jack", takes the form of elongated earlobes ending in jack plugs, which she can extend and plug into objects to catch extremely faint sounds or channel the sound of her own heartbeat into them in the form of powerful vibrations. She is a talented musician and is especially fond of rock music.
----
* ActionGirl: She can unleash powerful sound waves by plugging her earphone jacks into the speakers built into her boots.
* ACupAngst: She appears to be sensitive about having the smallest cup size in class. [[ArentYouGoingToRavishMe She even got upset]] when [[DirtyKid Mineta]] went on a rant about the girls he wanted to peep on, and she was the only one who ''wasn't'' mentioned.
* AllWomenArePrudes:
** Jiro has little tolerance to nudity and gets immediately flustered when confronted with it. During the USJ Arc, when Yaoyorozu's costume gets torn up by her Creation Quirk, Jiro was [[NakedFreakOut more embarrassed by Yaoyorozu's skin exposure]] than she was.
** Jiro is the only one of the girls to be [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn utterly terrified]] at the sight of a naked Mirio upon training with him, especially when he looms right behind her [[FullFrontalAssault completely naked]], implying that she's a total prude indeed or that Mirio is [[GagPenis unusually huge downstairs]].
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Similar to Kaminari, she has random streaks on her hair that resemble audio waveforms in her case, which perfectly fit her sound-themed Quirk.
* AudioErotica: According to her classmates, she has a very husky, sexy singing voice. We finally get to hear it in the anime, [[https://youtu.be/npBlTKcHRVk?t=57 and it's amazing]]!
* BeautifulSingingVoice: Class 1-A is assigned to put on a show for the school's culture festival. When deciding who would be singing, the class is immediately blown away by Jiro's husky and powerful voice, planting her in the role of lead singer while everyone else would be doing stunts, instrumentals, and backup.
* BerserkButton: Jiro is really embarrassed by her closet punk rocker hobby, and if somebody brings it up in conversation, she gets mad enough to raise her earphone jacks at the offending party. When Kaminari learned about it during the Room King contest, Jiro was blushing and very put out at having to show people her room, and even though he thought it was something she was comfortable sharing, she got so upset she ran off and sulked at her desk when it was brought up in class.
* BizarreHumanBiology: Similar to Ida and his leg mufflers, Jiro has actual earphone jacks as part of her body, which she inherited from her mother. She can even plug them into her cellphone and listen to music.
* BoyishShortHair: She is a [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] rock musician with short hair down to her chin.
* CharacterTics: She tends to fiddle with her earlobes or twirl them around her fingers.
* CivvieSpandex: Keeping with her punk rock theme, her hero costume looks more like she's heading to a mosh pit rather than fighting crime. Her upgraded costume includes headphones.
* CombatPragmatist: She kicks Kaminari into the action despite his hesitance to fight because she realizes that he can function as a living taser before he does.
* CrazyPrepared: Like Midoriya, she compiles journals about her love of music. So when the time came for Class 1-A to put on a show and she needed to help prepare the others with their instruments, her journals came in handy.
* DishingOutDirt: Her new special move, "Heartbeat Fuzz", allows her to use her sound waves in such a high impact, it is able to shake and destroy the earth before her.
* DramaticIrony: When she and Koda face off against Present Mic, she is surprised by his efficiency in battle, having thought he had gotten by on flash and showmanship. While Mic does prove himself to be quite ruthless, he really was just screwing around with them.
* DubPersonalityChange: A minor case, but her reactions to Yaoyorozu scolding her for shoving Kaminari into the enemies during the USJ attack are quite different in the sub and English dub.
-->'''Sub:''' [[SincerityMode Sorry]], [[ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime thought it was a good idea at the time]].\\
'''Dub:''' [[SarcasmMode I'm sorry]]. Next time I'll ''ask'' before saving our butts.
* FacialMarkings: She has tear-shaped markings on her cheeks as part of her hero costume. It's unknown whether they serve any practical purpose or are just for aesthetics.
* FemaleRockersPlayBass: She's the most 'alternative' of the Class 1-A girls (she's a snarky and aloof rocker with short hair, in contrast to the other girls who are preppier or straightforwardly feminine) and is the class's most preeminent musician; during the School Festival she spearheads their school festival with her BeautifulSingingVoice and skill at the bass guitar.
* FireForgedFriends: Her friendship with Koda sets off from their teamwork against Present Mic during the Final Exams Arc.
* FlippingTheBird: One of her most potent insults. One time, Kaminari apparently said something insensitive to her without meaning to after the aforementioned peeping incident that rubbed her the wrong way. Cue her doing this to a stunned Kaminari.
* {{Foil}}: To Midoriya. Both Jiro and Midoriya are teens that have wanted to be heroes since they were little kids, have hobbies that they are passionate enough about to compile entire notebooks on, and quickly get embarrassed when others take note of their passion for said hobbies. For Midoriya, the hobby is hero analysis, while for Jiro, it's music. Interestingly enough, their parents have vastly different reactions. The Jiros support Kyoka, and even agree to her continuing to go to U.A. after she's unconscious for days due to Mustard's gas attack, whereas Inko insists that Izuku leave U.A. for another hero school after he gets badly injured due to his fight with Muscular.
* TheGadfly: She absolutely ''loves'' to screw with Kaminari. She has a fondness for him because he makes her laugh. This is especially the case when he's reduced to a gibbering, "wheeying" idiot. She also loves to give him a condescending remark.
* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: Believe it or not, out of all the girls in the class, she is the most afraid with anything involving ghosts. When the others want to visit Class 1-C's haunted house, she is quick to tell them no. This is also the reason she freaks out when Class 1-A spars with Mirio - his phasing resembles a ghost.
* {{Goth}}: The rock fan variety. She wears a lot of black and has a dark aesthetic even in her hero outfit.
* GuiltyPleasures: Her interest in music. She's the only girl embarrassed about the others seeing her room during the dorm tour. Chapter 169 reveals that she doesn't think her musical interest is heroic, and that she isn't proud enough about it to perform live during the U.A. Cultural Festival. Even though Uraraka and Hagakure have watched her perform in her room on the guitar, her body language shows she is really shy in front of an audience: nervously blushing, hands tucked under her legs, and feet dangling above the floor with her toes pointed out and avoiding the ground. It turns out that this is largely due to the fact that in the past, she felt conflicted about her dream of becoming a pro hero since she thought her parents would want her to become a musician like them, even though they assured her they would support her no matter which path she took.
* HiddenDepths: She's a great bass player and vocalist, and leads the effort for 1-A's performance by creating the song and teaching the others how to play. This is due to both of her parents being musicians, and they fostered her love of music from an early age.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While she isn't exactly the nicest person, she's still a supportive, caring friend who tries to encourage Koda to do his best during their final exam.
* LikeParentLikeChild:
** She and her mother share the same Quirk and similar physical traits.
** Her love for rock music definitely comes from her father.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Due to injuries sustained during the Forest Training Camp Arc, she is one of only three students in Class 1-A who don't know about Kirishima's insane plan to rescue Bakugo, the others being Hagakure and Bakugo himself.
* LogicalWeakness: Having sensitive ears means if there is a sudden loud noise when she amplifies her sense of hearing, [[SensoryOverload Jiro will get shocked]]. This is how Bakugo knocks her out in the second OVA and how she is damaged in Episode 55. In addition, she has to have some kind of surface to transmit vibrations through or she cannot use her Quirk at all offensively. Normally her hero costume fixes this, but if she is unable to use it, she can only really use it for support roles.
* MakeSomeNoise: Her Quirk allows her to increase the sound of her heartbeat and, in combination with her hero costume, transfer the sound to her targets. While debilitating on its own, she later gets upgraded speakers that she can use to turn them into destructive shock waves that demolish the ground.
* MeaningfulName: "Jiro" contains the character for "ear". "Kyoka" contains the character for the verb "echo".
* MundaneUtility: Yes, her Quirk can function just like normal earplugs, as seen with Jiro plugging them into her phone.
* NomDeMom: She and her dad use her mom's surname, which is apparently relatively common in this universe.
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: In the Latin American Spanish dub of the TV series, she speaks with a very thick Cuban-American accent. Averted in the dubs of the films, since she was dubbed with a neutral accent.
* OddFriendship:
** Seems to have one with Yaoyorozu. Yaoyorozu's a sweet TeenGenius, while Jiro's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who has a very unsophisticated Quirk and lifestyle.
** She has one with Koda. Koda is a very shy ShrinkingViolet, while Jiro is an outspoken DeadpanSnarker. Both of their Quirks work based on sound, but he talks with animals, while she attacks using sound.
* OrganicTechnology: Her earphone jacks are naturally part of her body and can be extended or retracted at will.
* PersonalityPowers: Yes, the rocker girl has sound-based earplug powers.
* PervertRevengeMode: When Mineta [[WithCatlikeTread loudly]] discovers a peephole to the girls' locker room, her response is to quickly stab him in the eye through it.
* RedOniBlueOni: In opposition to their color schemes, she's the Red Oni to Yaoyorozu's blue in both the USJ and the anime filler episode 55: Impulsive and fiery in comparison with the cautious Yaoyorozu.
* RunningGag: A minor one, but whenever one of the boys fantasizes about the girls, Jiro always seems to be left out of it. One of the first things she does when arriving at the party wearing a cute dress in ''Two Heroes'' is zapping Kaminari and Mineta when they start saying unflattering things about the way she looks.
* SensorCharacter: In team situations, she usually uses her Quirk to plug her jacks into walls or floors to listen for oncoming enemies.
* ShyFingerTwiddling: She does a variant of this with her earlobes when flustered or embarrassed, tapping the ends of her headphone jacks together meekly.
* TheSnarkKnight: She's quite sharp-tongued, especially towards Kaminari in order to tease and make fun of him, but no one is safe from her cutting sarcasm.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her first name can be spelled "Kyoka", "Kyouka", or "Kyōka", while her last name can be spelled "Jiro", "Jirou", or "Jirō".
* SquishyWizard:
** While her Quirk has immense offensive power when utilized properly, it leaves her with very few defensive options. This is shown aptly during Jiro's first big fight scene during the USJ Arc, where she manages to wipe out entire scores of villains singlehandedly, but would've been taken out by a single surprise attack had it not been for Yaoyorozu's intervention.
** [[spoiler:Class 1-B prioritizes eliminating her first, since her search abilities and firepower are an asset to her team, while her lack of defensive abilities makes her an easy target. Luckily for her team, Bakugo, who's become willing to protect his teammates, comes to her aid]].
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Jiro is the spitting image of her mother, down to having the same Quirk, except for the fact that her mother wears glasses. It's subtle but she inherited her father's eyes down to their shape.
* SugarAndIcePersonality:
** Besides being quite snarky all the time, she has a soft spot for Yaoyorozu and Koda.
** She also never misses the chance to taunt Kaminari and call him stupid, and even uses her Quirk one time on him and Aoyama for saying her room is not "girly". Regardless of this, she still cares for him and all of her friends.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Kyoka Jiro is a [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] rock musician with BoyishShortHair. Momo Yaoyorozu is a sweet YamatoNadeshiko with {{long hair|IsFeminine}}.
* TomboyishVoice: In theme with her style, she also has the gruffest voice of all the girls in 1-A.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Despite her interest in rock music, her fairly boyish fashion sense, and her sarcastic personality, her character file states that she has a girly side. In ''Two Heroes'', she wears a pink dress and a floral hair accessory to the party.
* TrickedOutShoes: Her hero costume's boots have speakers on them that she can plug her earlobes into. Later, she adds a set of headphones to her ensemble to make it easier and faster to execute her heartbeat assaults and prevent bad guys from recognizing and reacting to what she's about to do.
* UnusualEars: Her earlobes are long and look like audio connectors. She inherited them from her mother.
* VariableLengthChain: She can extend her earlobes and use them as weapons at will.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Her relationship with Kaminari is something akin to this. They hang out with each other frequently, but their interactions consist mostly of bickering.
* WackyParentSeriousChild: Seems to have this relationship with her father. When he tries to look like a serious stern father in front of Aizawa and All Might, she points out he was acting like a fanboy the day before.
* WaistcoatOfStyle: Jiro is the only student in her class that wears a waistcoat as part of her school uniform. Everyone else wears jackets.
* WhipItGood: Her Earphone Jacks can also be used like this.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Bluish purple hair.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KiyotakaFurushima (Japanese), Creator/ChristopherBevins (English), Braulio Hernández (Latin American Spanish/TV series), Ángel Pardo (Latin American Spanish/Movies)
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 6 (Manga), Episode 5 (Anime)
!!!'''Quirk:''' [[DuctTapeForEverything Tape]]
->''"See, the simpler you are, the better!"''
A chipper, down-on-his-luck boy whose Quirk, "Tape", allows him to shoot unusually strong tape out of his slot-like elbows, which he can use to restrain foes, hold together large objects, or swing through the air with great mobility. His plain face is often the butt of many jokes, as is his unfortunate tendency to be shown up by others.
----
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: His hair looks like the jagged edge of a torn piece of tape.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Invoked and exploited. Sero ''knows'' that he looks silly and not very threatening and he often uses this to his advantage because people often overlook him. Thus, no one ever sees him coming, which allows him to prove his resourcefulness to its fullest extent whenever he's given a chance and how versatile his Quirk can be.
* BizarreHumanBiology: The shape of his elbows implies that he has actual tape dispensers inside of him which he can control like an organ.
* BookDumb: He has an average intelligence stat of 3/5, but apparently he's not very good at tests. He had the 4th lowest score on Class 1-A's midterm.
* BoringButPractical: Much like Mineta, he specializes in traps more than direct combat. His Quirk is more versatile though, and can be used as a BuildingSwing.
* BrokenFaceplate: During the battle against Nine in Heroes:Rising, he gets half of the visor destroyed. It gets completely wrecked when Nine sends him flying into the ground.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: His hero costume has a stylized white "H" on the front.
* BuildingSwing: A practical use of his Quirk, just like Franchise/SpiderMan.
* ButtMonkey: Despite his upbeat disposition, he is probably the biggest one in the whole class next to Mineta. Every time he gets a chance to prove himself, someone either one-ups him or takes him down before he ever had a chance to really show his stuff.
* CovertPervert: During the Provisional Hero License Exam Arc in the anime, Sero is flustered when Midoriya tells him and Uraraka that Camie, turned into the latter. He then asks whether or not Camie is naked in her Uraraka disguise. He then shares this information with the two-class perverts.
* CurbStompBattle: In matches against both Todoroki and Midnight, he gets wasted in seconds.
* DeadpanSnarker: Quite surprisingly so. Despite his cheerful disposition, he's also notable for having some of the snarkiest lines of the series.
-->'''Sero:''' ''(To Bakugo about being class rep)'' What? Did you honestly think anyone was gonna vote for you?
* DontYouDarePityMe: After Todoroki [[CurbStompBattle puts him in a deep freeze]] barely ''seconds'' into their match during the U.A. Sports Festival, the whole audience is roused into a pity party for poor Sero, chanting for him not to worry about it. To KickTheDog even more, little schoolkids randomly come up to him on his way to U.A. and tell him the exact same thing. Tsuyu tries to tell him not to worry about ''that'', but she only compounds his humiliation.
* DuctTapeForEverything: What his Quirk boils down to, even though it's not exactly duct tape. Sero uses his tape mostly as rope-like implements.
* GrapplingHookPistol: Sero's tape dispenser elbows can essentially work like this as the tape he shoots out from them can be rolled back in order to pull himself up (or pull other people towards him).
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: The power to create scotch tape has never been more useful.
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Subverted. Whenever he is in a proper combat situation, he always wears his helmet, which covers his entire face. The visor becomes conveniently translucent whenever Horikoshi wants us to see his face if he doesn't open it.
* HeroicRROD: Ejecting too much tape causes him to suffer dry skin.
* HiddenDepths:
** Had one of the more exotic and tastefully decorated dorm rooms among the boys, belying his otherwise plain nature. Jiro even lampshades the unexpected nature.
--->'''Jiro:''' Sero, I didn't peg you for someone who'd like this stuff.\\
'''Sero:''' Yup, that's me! Always the wild card.
** His favorite foods are oranges, soybeans, and other foods that look healthy, implying that he's somewhat health-conscious. He does have a HeroicBuild like all the other male Class 1-A students.
** He seems to know exactly how to press people's buttons when needed, which is exactly how he got Bakugo to showcase his drumming ability.
* InstantKnots: His tape can easily wrap around his intended target. His Quirk wouldn't be as useful otherwise.
* {{Keet}}: He's loud and show-offy and is quite easily one of the most energetic and fun-loving people in the class.
* LethalHarmlessPowers:
** It's implied that his tape could be used to suffocate someone. When Mineta used a piece of it as a makeshift gas mask to protect himself from Midnight's sleep-inducing mist, he could only wear it for about a minute before starting to lose oxygen.
** He can also use his tape as a sling by sticking one end of it to a large, heavy object, such as a rock or piece of debris, and [[EpicFlail swinging it directly at the intended target]]. He used this tactic to great effect in the provisional hero license exam. In the 2nd Movie he uses this extensively with Uraraka's help by having her float rocks, with him using his tape to send them flying at Nine.
* TheLoad: During the final exam, he gets wasted in three-seconds flat by Midnight, albeit after getting Mineta to safety, forcing Mineta to deal with her in one-on-one combat. As a result, he's the only member of a winning team to be assigned remedial training.
* NiceGuy: He's a friendly guy who gets along well with everyone. The Official Character Book gives him a 5/5 for cooperativeness.
* NoBadassToHisValet: A variation. Sero is not exactly the closest to Bakugo but he's indeed one of the few in Class 1-A that Bakugo can't seem to browbeat into submission, no matter how violent he gets or how much he threatens to kill him. In fact, [[TheGadfly Sero seems to really enjoy screwing with Bakugo's short fuse]], despite their huge power difference.
* TheNondescript: Lampshaded in the character descriptions, which straight-up call him a background character. His face also falls under this, being described by Bakugo as a "Soy Sauce Face", which is one of six stereotypical ways to draw an Asian - this one, to be specific, is flat-faced.
* OneWayVisor: Featured in his hero costume.
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: During the Forest Training Camp Arc, when Yaoyorozu says that her Quirk allows her to produce objects from the lipids in her body, Sero comments that it's like pooping. This causes her to go into a TroubledFetalPosition, which earns him a punch in the face from an angry Jiro.
* PerpetualSmiler: He's never not seen with an angular, toothy smile most of the time.
* PersonalityPowers: He is very social, friendly, and outgoing. In other words, he likes to "stick" to people.
* PervertRevengeMode: He does this on Toru's behalf when Mineta tries to use the room decoration contest to go through her underwear drawer. For the rest of the contest, Mineta's cocooned in tape and being dragged around like dead weight.
* PunnyName: "Serohantepu" is the Japanese way to pronounce "cellophane tape".
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: The only reason his powers are actually useful is because the tape he produces is much stronger and stickier than any actual cellophane, commonly known as Scotch tape.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: His chosen hero name doesn't stray too far from his real name. He himself [[LampshadeHanging lampshades this]], noting he really didn't have to think too hard on the name.
* TombstoneTeeth: His most distinctive feature is his wide, toothy smile, setting him apart from most of the other characters who instead have a ToothStrip.
* WeakButSkilled: Sero is not that great in direct combat and doesn't have much offensive potential, but he can make very good use of his Quirk by using it to capture a target, as a grappling hook to scale buildings, to move quickly through a large area using BuildingSwing-style maneuvers, or to pull someone out of the way in a dangerous situation. The Official Character Book gives him a 1/5 for power, but a 4/5 for speed and technique.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YoshimasaHosoya (Japanese), Creator/JoshGrelle (English), Jonathan Ramírez (Latin American Spanish/TV series), Creator/DanOsorio (Latin American Spanish/Movies)
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 5 (Manga), Episode 5 (Anime)
!!!'''Playable in:''' ''VideoGame/MyHeroOnesJustice'', ''My Hero One's Justice 2''
!!!'''Quirk:''' [[FightingSpirit Dark Shadow]]
->''"With your positions revealed, you're in my crosshairs. And there's no hiding from the coming storm. As Hawks would say... speed beats power."''
A reserved, serious young man with a bird-like appearance. His Quirk, "Dark Shadow", manifests as a shadowy monster that inhabits his body which he can summon to fight on his behalf. Dark Shadow's power and personality change with the amount of light: strong light makes it weaker but easier to control, while darkness drastically increases its power but makes it much wilder and violent, which puts Tokoyami at risk of losing control over his Quirk.
----
* AllEncompassingMantle:
** His hero costume features one. This is justified, as Dark Shadow is WeakenedByTheLight, so the cape keeps it in shadow.
** His newest technique, "Dark Ankh", has him use Dark Shadow as a mantle, allowing him to overcome his weakness in close quarters combat by increasing his defensive and offensive capabilities.
* AnimalMotifs: Unsurprisingly, he's associated with birds.
* BadassArmFold: This is pretty much his default posture.
* BadassBaritone: In the anime, his short stature belies a rather deep voice.
* BadassCape: Wears a billowing black one as part of his Hero attire.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: And thank goodness for that. Tokoyami would be a major villainous threat with his Quirk at night if he weren't aspiring to be a hero. [[spoiler:The League of Villains even try to kidnap him for the same reason as Bakugo in an attempt to recruit him]].
* BigDamnHeroes: During the Paranormal War Arc, [[spoiler:he swoops in and saves Hawks from being burned to death by Dabi]].
* BookDumb: Downplayed. Despite placing fifth on Aizawa's Quirk Test and third in the Sports Festival, Tokoyami has a rather subpar rank of 14th on the midterms.
* CastingAShadow: His Quirk is a LivingShadow that he can project from his body.
* {{Chuunibyou}}: He has a tendency to act like one through his gothic appearance and mystical flare. However, he subverts a lot of the negative behaviors and he is a legitimate good-hearted and talented hero. It's something of a parody, since unlike most Chuunibyou, he really ''does'' have powers and they really are dangerous and hard to control at times.
* TheComicallySerious: He has a tendency to say dramatic things about situations that don't quite deserve them, such as calling a recreational game on their school trip a "mad banquet of darkness." He even repeats it which Uraraka lampshades. His first name for his new super move is very dark and dramatic sounding, but Midnight tells him that it doesn't roll off the tongue well at all. Cementing this is how he gets angry when nobody takes his room's decor, which was very dark and spooky, seriously.
* ColdHam: He constantly tries to invoke this. When he speaks, expect Tokoyami to say something overly dramatic about the current situation:
-->'''Tokoyami:''' (about the interclass fear challenge) A mad banquet of darkness.\\
'''Uraraka:''' He said it again.
* CreepyGood: From the way he [[{{Goth}} behaves]] to his powers and his SuperPoweredEvilSide, it's easier for people to be scared of him, but he is nonetheless, a hero in training.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Darkness and shadows are traits normally associated with villains, but what we've seen of Tokoyami so far paints him as a rather valiant person.
* DarknessVonGothickname: He has a very evil-sounding, darkness-based name. "Tokoyami" literally means Eternal Darkness, and his first name contains the character for "shadow". This matches his powers and [[{{Goth}} personality]], though he's not evil.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He first appears in the third chapter fighting a 2-point robot during the entrance exam, but it's easy to completely miss him. Bonus points for actually looking like a bird.
* ElementalRockPaperScissors: He is weak against Quirks able to generate light like those possessed by [[HavingABlast Bakugo]], [[ShockAndAwe Kaminari]], and [[PlayingWithFire Todoroki]]. On one hand, he's at a disadvantage should he face them in a direct combat situation, like in the U.A. Sports Festival, but on the other, they can weaken Dark Shadow should Tokoyami lose control of it.
* EquippableAlly: Tokoyami can wear Dark Shadow over his body as "Black Ankh", augmenting his close-range combat.
* {{Foil}}:
** He acts as one to Ashido. Both are among the more visually striking members of their class, both have Quirks that are related with things not typically identified with heroism (darkness for Tokoyami, acid for Ashido), but Tokoyami is dark and serious while Ashido is vastly more energetic and easygoing.
** To Dark Shadow itself. Tokoyami is cool-headed, cooperative, and noble. Dark Shadow is either childish and sheepish, or bloodthirsty and unstable.
* {{Goth}}: If his appearance didn't already make it clear, his dorm room takes this up a step further.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He received an internship from Hawks offscreen while the story arc at the time focused on other Class 1-A students' internships. Later chapters do go into more details of Tokoyami's experience.
* HiddenDepths:
** He seems like a very dark and serious guy at first glance, but he actually has a rather strong sense of justice, is very respectful, and works well with others. He is also TheComicallySerious, as noted above. He's also not the best student, placing 14th out of the 20 students in Class 1-A grade-wise.
** He is actually a very good guitarist, and has experience with it.
--->'''Tokoyami:''' I put down the axe when I was bested by the F chord.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Not knowing about Todoroki's AbusiveParents, Tokoyami tries to encourage Todoroki by relating to his duty as the student of the #1 and #2 heroes. Todoroki ends up thinking about horrible things Endeavor did to him. He pretends to appreciate the support, [[HeroicBSOD but basically goes into a trance until Ida's enthusiasm snaps him out of it]].
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Surrenders to Bakugo in their duel during the U.A. Sports Festival, after realizing how severely Dark Shadow is WeakenedByTheLight of Bakugo's explosions.
* LongRangeFighter: He is great at keeping enemies away from him, but has trouble if the enemy manages to close in through dodging or numbers. He tries to avoid this later on by developing a new technique, Dark Ankh, where he covers himself in Dark Shadow-like armor to increase his defense and improve his capabilities in close-quarter combat.
* MeaningfulName: His first name roughly translates to "Unsavory Shadow" while his last name literally means "Eternal Darkness", both emphasizing the power and hard-to-control nature of his darkness-related Quirk.
* MultiformBalance: Depending of the surrounding light conditions, he has to sacrifice either the strength of his Quirk or his control over it. In bright light, his Dark Shadow is docile but also very weak and timid. In darkness, it's stronger but also harder to control as well. Later, he develops a technique of shrouding himself in Dark Shadow as a close-range option, trading range for improved defense.
* NiceGuy: Tokoyami may act reserved, but when he teams up with others, he becomes more sociable, helping his teammates out, reassuring his trust in them and thanking them for their effort.
* NonHumanHead: His head is bird-like in appearance, but everything else from the neck down is human. He also wears a red choker at all times, which hides his human neck to emphasize his bird head.
* NoPronunciationGuide: English-speaking viewers are likely to pronounce his first name as "Fumi-cage", but the correct pronunciation is "Fu-mi-kah-geh".
* NotQuiteFlight: His Black Fallen Angel technique that he developed as a result of his internship with Hawks. Using his Quirk's natural ability to levitate he's able to have Dark Shadow carry him in his arms and grant him the ability to fly.
* NotSoStoic:
** He does have his moments when he can't always keep his cool. When his classmates got a good look at his gothic dorm room, he's sulking and angrily yells at them to get the hell out.
** A more dramatic example: during the Forest Training Camp Arc, when Dark Shadow goes berserk, Tokoyami can be seen crying in agony from the intense duress it causes him. To boot, he has to watch as it targets his friends.
** [[spoiler:In chapter 271. He also break down crying when he holding his injured mentor Hawk, after escaping from Dabi grasp]].
* OddFriendship: With Shoji, who seemingly starts developing this from the Forest Training Camp Arc onward. Showing that a [[MultiArmedAndDangerous six armed]] GentleGiant and a {{bird|People}}-headed chuunibyou {{Goth}} really can be friends.
* PersonalityPowers: CastingAShadow -> Gothic, brooding guy implied to have a "[[http://en.dic.pixiv.net/a/Chuunibyou chuunibyou]]" complex (the "Evil Eye" type). On the other hand, given how he ''does'' have powers, it's also spoofed. Not to mention it is a legitimate power and dangerous.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: At 158 centimeters (5'2"), Tokoyami is the second shortest male in Class 1-A after the miniature Mineta, but is explicitly stated to be one of its strongest fighters.
* PowersDoTheFighting: His Dark Shadow pretty much does all the fighting for him. [[CripplingOverspecialization This leaves him rather helpless in situations where he can't rely on his shadow]], and All Might suggests he work on his own body as well.
* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: He's a dark shade of purple, and [[PurpleIsPowerful also one of the stronger heroes]] in Class 1-A. His room is also almost completely dark with the only sources of light being purple, including candles, skulls, a crystal ball, and some kind of animal's head with glowing eyes.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted. Despite these red eyes being paired with a [[CreepyCrows a dark bird-like appearance]] and [[DarkIsEvil a powerful shadow-based Quirk]], Tokoyami himself is valiant and compassionate.
* RedIsHeroic: Besides his red eyes, he also wears a red choker in honor of a pro hero he admires, Dark Crystal.
* {{Samurai}}: Present Mic actually calls him one, but whether or not he is or it's just part of his [[RuleOfCool "coolness"]] hasn't been explored. Tokoyami does have a very poetic and respectful way of speaking, would bow after defeating Yaoyorozu and Ashido, and has an ''actual sword'' in his dorm room. All of which could imply that he's either the real deal or just cool like that.
* ShoutOut: Tokoyami is a male version of ComicBook/{{Raven}}. [[BeastMan Aside from obviously looking like a raven]], Tokoyami possesses both a somewhat reserved demeanor as well as a certain [[CastingAShadow control of darkness]] that he sometimes loses, resulting in a SuperpoweredEvilSide.
* SignificantBirthDate: Tokoyami's birthday is October 30, one day before Halloween, sometimes called Devil's Night.
* TheStoic: One of the more cool-headed students of Class 1-A, and overall a no-nonsense kind of person. Then again, a bird head doesn't allow for much expression either way.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: At nighttime, Dark Shadow actively works to take control of his body, and the trade-off is an insane amount of raw power that perhaps only One For All could match.
* ToothyBird: He's got a set of human-like choppers inside his beak.
* UnskilledButStrong: His Quirk at max power can easily beat enemies that even [[TheAce Todoroki]] or [[GeniusBruiser Bakugo]] would have trouble with, and it's implied that in this state, only All Might can match him power for power. But his control over this form is very limited.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Really downplayed example, but it was his curb-stomping of Yaoyorozu in the U.A. Sports Festival that started her crippling self-confidence problems she had until the Final Exams Arc.
* VocalDissonance: He's the shortest guy (after Mineta) in Class 1-A and looks like a bird of prey, but has the deepest voice.

-->'''--Dark Shadow, In the dark'''
Tokoyami's Quirk, which has a very literal mind of its own.
----
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Dark Shadow has a bird head as well.
* AxCrazy: Dark Shadow is this when fully controlling Tokoyami in complete darkness. It crushes everything within its path and enjoys the destruction.
* TheBerserker: At its zenith, Dark Shadow takes control of Tokoyami and attacks everything in sight, completely out of control and deranged.
* CatchPhrase: Dark Shadow tends to reply to Tokoyami's commands with "Aye-aye!"
* CowardlyLion: When weakened enough, it becomes fearful and shies away from violence, but still carries out Tokoyami's commands in a fight.
* DarkIsEvil: While it is not inherently evil, it becomes quite destructive when it gets out of Tokoyami's control, becoming a mass of shadows that tries to engulf him while attacking even those he considers friends.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Its name "Dark Shadow" is a quite blatant example of this.
* FirstNameBasis: Dark Shadow is the only individual who calls Tokoyami by his first name, Fumikage.
* {{Flight}}: You could be forgiven for thinking it's just weightless and just floats easily in the air by using a single leverage point, but it actually is flying. Tokoyami exploits this for his Black Fallen Angel supermove to fly himself.
* {{Foil}}: To Tokoyami himself. Tokoyami is cool-headed, cooperative, and noble. Dark Shadow is either childish and sheepish, or bloodthirsty and unstable.
* GuardianEntity: Dark Shadow is a spirit-like entity that Tokoyami can command.
* GutturalGrowler: At its largest and most powerful, Dark Shadow's voice becomes a low-pitched, menacing snarl.
* LivingShadow: Dark Shadow appears to have its own mind and personality despite being just an extension of Tokoyami's body.
* LogicalWeakness: As it's made of shadows, light reduces it.
* MoodSwinger: Its personality varies depending on its strength. Most of the time, it's a loyal and obedient companion. However, when on the receiving end of too much light, it becomes cowardly and reluctant to fight, while too much darkness causes it to be sullen and willful, which can eventually graduate to out-of-control rage if not dealt with.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Dark Shadow is given very rough pencil shading, a clear contrast to the clean lines and ink of other characters. In the anime Dark Shadow's shading is re-rendered each frame, making his more etherial form even more apparent.
* PowerIncontinence: When it gets too dark, it acts on its own, with Tokoyami taking a backseat.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Dark Shadow's SupernaturalGoldEyes become red whenever it goes berserk.
* SamusIsAGirl: Chapter 84 of ''Manga/MyHeroAcademiaSmash'' implies that this is the case, as when a villain's Quirk gives Dark Shadow a physical body, it's that of a little girl with long black hair that Mineta nicknames "Kokage".
* StringyHairedGhostGirl: It's human form in chapter 84 of ''My Hero Academia Smash!!'' is designed like this, being a small girl with long, messy black hair wearing an oversized white teeshirt.
* SummonBiggerFish: During the Training Camp arc, Dark Shadow takes over Tokoyami's body, gaining a massive power boost with the drawback of being more aggressive and feral, but he proves to be the muscle Midoriya and Shoji need to take down Moonfish, with the villain lasting all of ten seconds against him.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Dark Shadow becomes weaker when faced with light, but this also makes it easier to control for Tokoyami. His character sketch mentions that a fully weakened Dark Shadow could be beaten by a cockroach.
* YourSizeMayVary: Dark Shadow varies in size depending on how powerful it is at the moment. At its weakest, it's only the size of a hand, while at its strongest, it's big enough to tear down trees with ease.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaoriNazuka (Japanese), Creator/FeleciaAngelle (English), Creator/JudithNoguera (Latin American Spanish/TV series), Creator/SandraOlarra (Latin American Spanish/Movies)
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 5 (Manga), Episode 5 (Anime)
!!!'''Quirk:''' {{Invisibility}}
->''"It's fine, isn't it? C'mon, let's have a go at it!"''
A bubbly and cheerful girl whose Quirk, "Invisibility", renders her entire body permanently invisible. She is usually seen as a set of seemingly floating clothes -- or in the case of her hero costume, just a pair of floating gloves and shoes. Because of this, she often jokes about her condition and is able to get away with states of undress no visible human could dream of trying in public.
----
* AgonyOfTheFeet: Is defeated in a single move by Todoroki in the Battle Trial due to him freezing the surfaces of the building, sticking her bare feet to the floor.
* AttackReflector: After some training, she learned to use her light manipulation abilities to reflect light-based attacks, such as Aoyama's [[EnergyWeapon Navel Laser]].[[spoiler: This is what allows her to save Izuku from Aoyama's laser in chapter 337]].
* BattleStrip: When fully nude, she can make the best use of her Quirk as an InvisibleStreaker.
* BerserkerTears: [[spoiler: When her face is finally shown in Chapter 337]].
* BigOlEyebrows: Subverted, but she is revealed to have eyelashes in the same style as Tetsutetsu's bushy and spikey eyebrows.
* BlindedByTheLight: Able to refract light inside of her and intensify it, making her capable of blinding people. This hints at a general [[LightEmUp light manipulation]] ability, with her {{invisibility}} being one of its effects. Also doubles as a VisualPun since she does it in costume: she's ''flashing'' her opponents.
* BoobsOfSteel: Though usually only visible when she's clothed she ''is'' revealed to be quite busty. In chapter 335 she's also partially revealed to have some nicely defined musculature.
* ChildLikeVoice: In Japanese, her voice is just as high and endearing as Uraraka's and Ashido's.
* CombinationAttack: Aoyama uses his super move Navel Saber, with Hagakure using her Quirk to curve the blade. It's first seen to slash through Villain Bots during training, and was developed during their work-study under Yoroi Musha.
* TheCutie: Her bubbly, cheerful, energetic personality, combined with [[GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals her love of stuffed animals]] and child-like room makes her completely adorable.
* ExposedToTheElements: Her winter costume is unchanged from her normal one, meaning she's still mostly naked. This is lampshaded by Jiro, who asks if she's cold.
* TheFaceless: For the most part, which is expected, as Hagakure is invisible all the time. One chapter of ''My Heroine Academia'' has the other girls desperately try to find a way to see what her face looks like. According to Hagakure herself, she looks like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yang_Guifei Yang Guifei]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Xavier Francis Xavier]] mashed together. This just leaves her classmates confounded even more. [[spoiler: When her face is finally revealed in Chapter 337, she is indeed cute and looks nothing like what she described to her classmates]].
* FloatingLimbs: PlayedWith, she actually does have a normal body with limbs, but due to her invisibility, her hero costume does give the impression she's just a pair of floating gloves and boots.
* FullFrontalAssault: Considering that her hero costume is pretty much just a pair of gloves and shoes, she's pretty much fighting in the nude.
* {{Gainaxing}}: She displays this when showing off her dorm room in the anime, gesturing for the other students to take a look with a ''very'' noticeable bounce.
* GenderBlenderName: "Toru" is usually a male name. Horikoshi originally conceived the character as a boy, but thought it would be cooler/funnier if they were a girl instead.
* GenkiGirl: She seems very lively for an invisible person.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: She has several in her room, including one that looks like Nezu.
* TheGlovesComeOff: When Hagakure wants to get serious with her use of invisibility, she takes off the gloves and shoes as part of her very sparse costume, rendering her fully invisible.
* HandSignals: Due to her constant invisibility, a lot of her characterization comes from all the BodyLanguage she expresses via hand gestures or signals.
* HiddenBuxom: Only "hidden" since she's invisible. The school uniforms are {{Clark Kent Outfit}}s and her hero costume renders her fully invisible, so whenever she's in casual clothing it becomes apparent that she's no stranger to the MostCommonSuperpower. She also gets a very noticeable bounce in the anime when she shows off her room wearing a casual T-shirt.
* {{Invisibility}}: Her Quirk in a nutshell is 24-hour invisibility. Both of her parents have invisibility Quirks too.
* InvisibilityWithDrawbacks: Her clothes don't turn invisible with her, so she has to go naked in order to be totally invisible and is thus ExposedToTheElements. Also, she [[PowerIncontinence can't turn her Quirk off]], so she's invisible all the time.
* InvisibleStreaker: Her Quirk doesn't affect her clothing, so she needs to constantly strip off her clothes in order for it to be useful.
* {{Irony}}: Most heroes are defined by a costume, while she's defined for almost having a total ''lack'' of one.
* LightEmUp: It was hinted at before with her BlindedByTheLight move, but following her winter internship, she has fully gained the power to manipulate light refractions.
* LogicalWeakness: Her Quirk is indeed useful when she's fully naked, but that also means she gets ExposedToTheElements. Thus, when she confronts Todoroki, his ice power made it impossible for her to walk without freezing her bare feet to the floor. Also, [[SeeTheInvisible if she makes any discernible noise and someone can hear it and/or sense it/has a Quirk to aid their senses]], they can find her even if they can't see her normally.
* MeaningfulName: "Toru" means "transparent", which is fitting since she's made transparent by her permanent invisibility. "Hagakure" means "hidden in leaves" when written as one word.
* MsFanservice: PlayedForLaughs, given she's invisible all the time, although the fact she's often in a state of undress is still used for titillation as well as humor. She also has a fairly {{buxom|IsBetter}} and curvaceous figure which has to be outlined either via her clothing or her body shape in a pool of water.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: The whole "she's naked but you can't see it in the first place" aspect of her character is played for all the comedy it can give, like her volume profile being described as "tasteful nude." [[DontExplainTheJoke It shows nothing]].
* NiceGirl: Hagakure is a bubbly, cheery, and easygoing girl that does most things with an upbeat attitude.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Gives a hilarious one to Manga Fukidashi in the Joint Training arc.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Given her normally bubbly and happy-go-lucky attitude, it's really disturbing to see her break down in anger [[spoiler: when she finds out Aoyama is a traitor]].
* OutOfFocus: She's one of the least focused on characters in Class 1-A, which is partially because she's invisible, but her character hasn't been explored like many of her classmates. Chapters 335-336 reveal that this is because [[spoiler:Horikoshi was using her as a RedHerring for TheReveal of the true traitor within class 1-A]].
* PinkMeansFeminine: Her dorm room is covered in cute things and has pink curtains, carpet, chairs, tables, and bedspread.
* PluckyComicRelief: Given her status as OutOfFocus compared to the rest of her class, she mostly exists to provide light-hearted humor.
* PowerIncontinence: If she ''could'' turn visible, odds are she would've by now. She's also never shown any concern about being stuck invisible or it having any impact on her life.
* PowerStereotypeFlip: Despite being literally invisible, she is not shy or introverted at all. In fact, one could argue she's so outgoing and unabashed ''because of'' being literally invisible.
* RedHerring: The final page of chapter 335, sets her up as [[spoiler: the UA traitor]]. Nope, [[spoiler: it's Aoyama, she is just the one who first finds out that it's him]].
* RunningGag: People blushing at just the implication that she is totally naked most of the time. The group of students she teams up with during the U.A. Sports Festival Arc provides a good example of this.
* SatelliteCharacter: Out of all the girls in the class, virtually nothing is known about Hagakure's background and her screen/panel time is just as scarce as Sato.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Often plays the Energetic Girl to Ojiro's Savvy Guy.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: The only girl in the class who doesn't mind wearing a cheerleader outfit, even after it turned out to be just a prank by Mineta and Kaminari, plus she has no problem walking around naked half the time. Of course, she's invisible, so it doesn't really matter. Amusingly, she does get embarrassed when seen "undressing" and asks [[NoPeekingRequest people to look away as she does it]], despite it only being her taking off her gloves.
* ShoutOut: Has the same alias ("Invisible Girl") and powers (invisibility) as early [[Franchise/FantasticFour Susan Storm]].
* SleepsInTheNude: During the School Trip Arc, when we see her sleeping, only her mass on the bed is invisible, meaning she sleeps with no clothes on.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her first name can be spelled "Tōru", "Tooru", or "Tohru".
* StealthExpert: Her invisibility Quirk makes her very good at sneaking around. This is lampshaded during her final exam in the anime:
-->'''Yaoyorozu:''' As expected, Hagakure is a cut above when it comes to covert activities!
* TalkingWithSigns: In the ''Two Heroes'' movie, she plays rock paper scissors with three signs depicting each move. She loses.
* TookALevelInBadass: Was something of a JokeCharacter due to the limitations of her {{Invisibility}} Quirk, but then she learns how to start to manipulate light, and under the mentorship of Yoroi Musha refined her light manipulation for both offensive and defensive uses.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Caramels are her favorite type of food.
* TheUnreveal: The first chapter of ''My Heroine Academia'' is about the girls wanting to know what Hagakure's face looks like. They try and fail with various schemes before just outright asking her, but her explanation is so contrasting that it doesn't help at all.
* VSign: A favorite of hers. Only visible in her costume though, because it has gloves, which means she is likely to use it after triumphing at something.
* WasItAllALie: On the giving end [[spoiler: towards Aoyama when she finds out he was the one feeding All-For-One information]].
* WeakButSkilled: Her ability is great for stealth, but not that good for combat. Her needing to discard clothing to make full use of her powers also means she has little to no defenses and is pretty vulnerable to getting attacked, not to mention elemental conditions. Shoto beats her simply by turning the interior of a building sub-zero, sticking her exposed soles to the ground and warning her that if she moves she could tear the skin off her feet. Nonetheless, she seems capable to hold herself in a fight, as shown in the Hero License Exam and how she was able to pass the U.A. Entrance Exam.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyoHirohashi (Japanese), Creator/BrinaPalencia (English), Creator/PaulaBarros (Latin American Spanish/TV series), Creator/IsabelMartinon (Latin American Spanish/Movies)
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 5 (Manga), Episode 5 (Anime)
!!!'''Playable in:''' ''My Hero Academia: Battle for All'', ''My Hero One's Justice 2''
!!!'''Quirk:''' [[StickySituation Pop Off]]
->''"I was wrong. Ever since coming here... and practically dying... I finally get it! Being a hero doesn't make you cool... they're heroes because they're cool!"''
A short and incredibly lewd boy whose Quirk, "Pop Off", allows him to quickly pull highly adhesive balls from his head, although pulling too many will rip off his scalp and cause bleeding. Despite getting into U.A., he doesn't feel like he'll be able to become a hero due to his odd Quirk.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: His perverted attitude in general doesn't win him the hearts of those he comes onto, with Momo Yaoyarozu being the primary target of his lust.
* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Due to being a ButtMonkey, on the rare occasions that Mineta ''does'' achieve anything, he'll suddenly develop an overinflated ego.
* AlliterativeName: '''Min'''oru '''Min'''eta.
* BizarreHumanBiology: His hair consists of adhesive balls that he can rip off and regrow very quickly.
* BlessedWithSuck: How he views his own Quirk.
* BoringButPractical: What his Quirk really falls under into. Case in point, he still managed to pass the entrance exam by trapping the robots with his balls, immobilizing them, which still counted as points. It's not flashy by any means, but they're definitely useful as traps. Too bad he's still too much of a CowardlyLion to realize his potential.
* BrilliantButLazy: His stats list him as one of the smartest kids in the class (5/5, second only to Yaoyorozu), but he got ninth place in their midterm scores, and was [[AcquiredSituationalNarcissism strangely proud]] to ''barely'' be in the top half. His idea of training for the sports festival is to hold a trophy and practice his acceptance speech.
* ButtMonkey: Of Class 1-A. Most of it is his own fault, as his perversion is [[LaserGuidedKarma repeatedly rebuffed and punished]]. Tsuyu tends to be the one who inflicts justice on him the most (Aizawa comes in second).
* CasanovaWannabe: He ''fiends'' for anything with a remotely sexy figure, though as a result he doesn't have any female friends, besides perhaps Tsuyu who seems to stick around him to try and stop his lecherous tendencies.
* CharacterDevelopment:
** During his final exam, he ends up winning against Midnight by himself when he realizes that heroes aren't cool because they're heroes, but it's the other way around, making him decide that he wants to be cooler as a hero.
** Over time, he has become more courageous and less hesitant to jump into hero duty, as well as more focused. In the first movie, he balks when the group asks him to climb up the tower and only relents when Kaminari promises him a harem if he does so; in the second movie, he joins the rest of Class 1-A in their fight against Nine without hesitating. In the Season 5 opener, he only has one small perverted moment and otherwise does a great job at keeping the bridge from falling apart and saving Mirio during the emergency drill. A few episodes later he saves Ashido from Class 1-B students, causing her to become genuinely grateful. Of course, he then intentionally bounces right into her breasts but progress is progress.
* ChildLikeVoice: A TinySchoolboy can only have a notably childish voice, and both his Japanese and English voice actresses drove that trope home. His Japanese VA gave him a high-pitched voice, while his English VA went more with a husky "young boy voiced by an adult woman" cartoon voice.
* ChivalrousPervert: As perverted as he may be, Mineta always tries his ''absolute'' best to give it his all whenever the going gets tough.
* ClassicalAntiHero: Thanks to his general unpopularity, cowardliness, perverted antics and unimpressive Quirk, he is a textbook, if not exaggerated example.
* CombinationAttack: With Ashido, they can use the combo move Grape-Pinky Combo Mineta-Bounce. Mineta lays Pop Off spheres on the ground and walls, with Ashido then throwing Mineta so he keeps bouncing from the spheres and throws more of them onto the enemy. They first use it in the Joint Training Battle against Class 1-B.
* CowardlyLion: He's the first to run away from battle, but push him into a corner and he'll give everything he's got to beat you.
* DemotedToExtra: Despite being playable in the first game of the franchise, Mineta is not present among the playable cast of ''VideoGame/MyHeroOnesJustice'', but he is still present as a VirtualPaperDoll, and characters can have him glued to their back as he did with Yaoyorozu in the U.A. Sports Festival. He is finally added to the playable roster in the sequel.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The lower half of his hero costume is meant to resemble a bowl, though it unfortunately looks like a reinforced diaper.
* DreadfulMusician: He's a terrible singer, as seen when he tries out for Class 1-A's band for the school festival.
* EveryoneHasStandards: While his are very low and he constantly attempts to peep on his female classmates, he does draw a line at attempting to grope them. The one time he did could be explained away as being waterlogged and then just not noticing since he was so happy when he heard the villains were leaving during the USJ Arc. His "target" Tsuyu may have retaliated at both examples but holds no ill will which might indicate that they were accidents.
* EyeScream:
** While in the boys' locker room, he tries to get an eyeful of the girls changing next door through a peephole and swiftly gets stabbed in the eye by one of Jiro's earphone jacks.
** Later, as punishment for bouncing into her breasts during a training exercise, Mina uses the [[Literature/AClockworkOrange Ludovico Technique]] on him.
* {{Foil}}: While Bakugo is disliked by his classmates due to his [[HairTriggerTemper nasty temper]], Mineta is disliked due to [[DirtyKid his incurable perversion]].
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Outside of [[HairTriggerTemper Bakugo]], Mineta is probably the Class 1-A student that gets this the most, mostly due to his perverted personality. He is still good friends with Midoriya and Kaminari, at least.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Throwing sticky balls may seem underwhelming as a superpower, and Mineta himself expresses doubt about its usefulness in combat, but thanks to Midoriya, he realizes that it's very useful for immobilizing enemies. By throwing a large amount of them into the water at USJ, followed by a Smash from Midoriya, a large group of villains ends up stuck together and helpless. Later on, during the final exam, he uses them to trap Midnight and successfully escape from the training grounds with Sero. Finally, his sticky balls adhere to everything except for him. Instead, they repel him with great force, allowing him to use his sticky balls as trampolines, greatly improving his movement.
* HeroicComedicSociopath: His NominalHero status is entirely PlayedForLaughs. He's a hero, but he only cares about [[EatingTheEyeCandy leering at girls]] and is overall smug and self-serving, never really caring about his classmates' feelings or how his actions may affect them. He's happy to throw them under the bus if it helps him, as evidenced by his "performance" in the U.A. Sports Festival. Were he not played for comedy this would be unsettling.
* HeroicRROD: He can't keep pulling his sticky balls out for too long or they'll start to make his skin bleed.
* HiddenDepths:
** Believe it or not, Mineta's intelligence is 5/5 (behind only Yaoyorozu) and ranks 9th in his class in terms of grades.
** He also has a high Cooperativeness stat, at 4/5. Despite being a nuisance to his classmates most of the time due to his sleaziness, he actually makes a good partner when he's working alongside someone. He helped Midoriya and Tsuyu trap the villains at USJ, came up with a practical and legal "tank" strategy in the sports festival that made his team practically invincible, used Sero's tape as a mask to protect himself from Midnight's KnockoutGas before dragging him out of the arena to safety, worked with the rest of 1-A in taking down the other schools during the provisional hero license exam, and devised a combo-move in tandem with Ashido during the joint training exercise. This all adds up to the idea that despite not thinking much of his own Quirk, as well as his cowardly nature, he's more capable than he believes he is.
** He seems to be able to make precise calculations on the fly, as demonstrated in the joint training exercise: He's able to lay out his balls in a pattern that easily allows him to bounce between them, temporarily trapping Class 1-B's team.
* HormoneAddledTeenager: Mineta is nothing ''but'' a bag of raging sexual hormones craving for satisfaction. He's rarely afraid to admit it:
-->'''Tsuyu:''' Mineta, are you thinking of something perverted right now?\\
'''Mineta:''' [[OhCrap ...Possibly?]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: Despite being openly perverted, he often criticizes others for perceived sexual behavior, even when they're misunderstandings.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: Overall, this is the goal he is pursuing as a hero (that and feeling up a woman, and as his final exam reveals, the former is almost entirely in service of the latter).
* InformedAttribute: Mineta's official intelligence stat is 5/5. However, he hasn't showcased to be sufficiently smart to justify it. While he isn't stupid and has some BrilliantButLazy moments, he has been mentally outdone by people with lower intelligence stats than him, which include ranking 9th in the midterm (below five people with 4/5 and two with 3/5).
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mineta may be a huge sleaze but he does demonstrate loyalty to his classmates. To complete the final exams, all he has to do is pass through the escape gate after incapacitating Midnight, but he took the time to drag his unconscious partner Sero with him.
* LethalJokeCharacter: His small stature, weak frame, ridiculous power set, and constant whining might make it seem like Mineta's just a useless comic relief character, but many opponents who have underestimated him have found themselves utterly defeated by his clever application of powers, and his surprising craftiness and tenacity when pushed into action. Hell, the fact that he has survived several dangerous situations against overwhelming odds and come out on top is an indicator that he's not as useless as he might initially seem.
* TheLoad: Literally during the U.A. Sports Festival. He glues himself to Yaoyorozu's back and makes her carry him until they reach the finish line, putting him in 18th place behind her.
* LovableSexManiac: He's a massive, open pervert who admits out loud that his biggest regret was not touching Yaoyorozu's boobs and gropes Tsuyu during a hug. Even his plan to get through the Obstacle Race event involves using his sticky balls to cling to Yaoyorozu's back, earning him a severe beating, but allowing him to place in the top 42. All of this is PlayedForLaughs, so he comes across as a mostly harmless annoyance rather than a really dangerous degenerate. The "lovable" part is far more debatable since barely anyone shows a particular liking towards him, both in-universe and meta.
* TheLudovicoTechnique: [[PlayedForLaughs In a humorous scene]], Mina straps him into a straitjacket and forces his eyes open with metal tools in front of a TV screen to correct his perverted behavior.
* MadeOfIron: Gets a lot of punishment done to him (mainly comical but was once hit full on by a giant 0-pointer robot)and wasn't any worse for wear. Shows again during the Provisional License Arc, where he threw so many of his balls that he was barely able to walk over and eliminate at least one other student. His Quirk doesn't have anything to do with stamina.
* MeaningfulName: Minoru means "producing fruit" like his talent and the first part of his surname [[BilingualBonus sounds a lot like the English term "mini"]] matching his size. His surname also happens to be a [[BilingualBonus Polish word for cunnilingus]].
* MySuitIsAlsoSuper: The gloves of his hero costume were made with samples of his skin cells so they wouldn't get stuck to his sticky balls.
* NoIndoorVoice: He tends to speak his perverted ideas ''out loud''. This trait quickly becomes a HoistByHisOwnPetard, as he'll announce a lecherous plan to peek on or sexually harass girls, with the intended targets standing right there to hear it.
* NominalHero: Mineta's mostly driven by his desire to be seen as cool and get girls, rather than the more altruistic motives that some of his other classmates have.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Mineta has a more cartoony design than most of his classmates, almost to the point of resembling a character from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. He's also the only male student in Class 1-A who does not have a HeroicBuild. [[BreakingTheFourthWall He even specifically gripes about his character design]] when preparing for the School Festival as his short stature prevents him from properly holding a guitar.
* OddFriendship: Early on at least, Mineta seems to show a strong admiration for Shoji and the two team up during the Sports Festival. Shoji also keeps Mineta from getting swept away by a blast of wind in the same arc.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He looks like a small child despite being the same age as his classmates (15).
* ThePeepingTom: He tries to use a peephole to peek in the girls' locker room, and gets [[EyeScream one of Jiro's earphone jacks in his eye]] for his troubles. He attempts it again [[OutdoorBathPeeping in the baths]] during the class trip, with similarly limited success.
* PersonalityPowers: His Quirk can be considered a big accidental innuendo. Thus, it's not surprising that he is a gigantic pervert.
* PervertedDrooling: His very own {{Character Tic|s}} along with his typical depraved expressions whenever he hears or sees anything even remotely sexual.
* PluckyComicRelief: Literally, as his Quirk actually involves plucking.
* RequiredSecondaryPower: Mineta doesn't stick to his own sticky balls and can, in fact, repel off of them with great speed. Otherwise he'd never be able to use them after pulling them off his scalp.
* SkewedPriorities: During the practical exam, when his partner Sero is KO'd by Midnight's KnockoutGas, all Mineta can think about is how jealous he is that Sero's head is in Midnight's lap. To his credit, he does eventually pull himself together and figure out a strategy to pass the exam.
* SmarterThanYouLook: Between his lewdness and overall cowardice, it's surprising to know he's at least ranked in the top half of his class in grades, and the databook actually gives him an A in intelligence, ahead of the likes of [[NerdActionHero Midoriya]], [[GeniusBruiser Bakugo]], and [[ClassRepresentative Ida]] and behind only [[TheAce Yaoyorozu]]. Kaminari and Ashido are positively mortified when they find out.
* SpeechImpediment: He has a noticeable lisp in the dub.
* StickySituation: His Quirk is pulling sticky balls off of himself and sticking it to objects. As long as he's still healthy, they'll stay on for a whole day.
* TinySchoolboy: Standing at just 108 cm (3'6''), he is shorter than MiniatureSeniorCitizens Gran Torino (128 cm) and Recovery Girl (115 cm), and even 6-year-old Eri (110 cm).
* UnscrupulousHero: He does want to be a hero, but his reasons are largely selfish, as he just wants girls to like him and be popular. He does this by lecherously watching the girls undress or watching them bathing.
* VocalDissonance: In the English dub, his voice sounds perfectly normal for a teenage boy even though he looks like a small child.
* WallCrawl: He can swiftly scale a wall using his sticky balls as handholds, and did so once to get to the other side of a hot spring where his female classmates were having some private time.
* WithCatlikeTread: Upon discovering a peephole to the girls' locker room, he discusses peeping on his female classmates. Very loudly. He gets one of Jiro's earphone jacks in his eye very quickly.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His mohawk is [[HairColorDissonance mostly purple]], going with his grape theme.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MarinaInoue (Japanese), Creator/ColleenClinkenbeard (English), María José Estevez (Latin American Spanish/TV series), Creator/MildredBarrera (Latin American Spanish/Movies)
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 6 (Manga), Episode 5 (Anime)
!!!'''Playable in:''' ''My Hero Academia: Battle for All'', ''VideoGame/MyHeroOnesJustice'', ''My Hero One's Justice 2''
!!!'''Quirk:''' [[MatterReplicator Creation]]
->''"We've got to start at the bottom and work up! And if we don't earnestly cheer each other on... we'll never be top heroes!"''
Class 1-A's vice president. Smart, studious but also kind and gentle, Momo hails from an extremely wealthy family and was enrolled through recommendations like Todoroki. Her Quirk, "Creation", allows her to create any inorganic object out of her body, as long as she knows its atomic composition. Despite her versatile Quirk and considerable intelligence, she struggles with low self-esteem due to the high expectations put upon her.
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: The top of her hero costume is a shirt with a cut low enough to reach her midriff.
* TheAce: Momo is one of four students recommended to enroll in U.A., the others being Todoroki, Tokage, and Honenuki. She comes from a patrician family and is pretty and intelligent. She is the vice president of Class 1-A and also received the highest grades in the mid-term exams as well as in the Provisional Hero License Exam.
* AdaptationExpansion: Her fight with Tokoyami at the U.A. Sports Festival was just a single panel in the manga, and was part of Midoriya explaining the fights. It wouldn't be until much later that we see how much her loss affected her mental state. The anime, on the other hand, shows the fight in earnest while also focusing on how overwhelmed and nervous Yaoyorozu was during it. In Season 3, how she passed the first stage of the Provisional Hero License Exam is shown, whereas in the manga, she and her group just met up with Todoroki after he passed.
* AffectionateNickname: A few of her classmates nickname her "Yaomomo", as a portmanteau of her family and given names. In the English translation of the manga, it's flipped around to western order as "Momo Yao".
* AllEncompassingMantle: Her winter costume features a long dark cloak on top of her normal one, presumably to prevent ExposedToTheElements.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: When comparing herself to Todoroki, she considers him this. The Final Exams Arc reveals that this is mutual, although both recognize that Todoroki is the more powerful one, he thinks that she is a far better leader and strategist than him.
* AnimeHair: Her Hero hairstyle is a very tricked-out ponytail that resembles a crest. When she lets her hair down, however, it looks completely realistic.
* BadassAdorable: The most fearsome female student of Class 1-A is also a kind and beautiful ray of sunshine, whose bright and enthusiastic smile when wanting to help people infectiously warms the hearts of everyone around her.
* BadassBookworm: Has the highest grades in the class, as well as rivaling Midoriya in assessing and analyzing battles. She also carries an ''actual'' book with her as part of her hero regalia. It's a dictionary (The Yaoyopedia) with a comprehensive description of all raw materials that might come in handy in the field because she needs a strong mental grasp of how to replicate these materials for it to work properly.
* BareYourMidriff: This is largely justified due to how Yaoyorozu's power works. Any object she generates comes directly from her body, meaning she needs a large enough area of bare skin to pull the object out of. She can (and does) generate smaller items out of her hands or side, but large objects have to be created out of areas like the midriff or back, and generally having as much skin exposed as possible is an advantage. As a result, unlike many other costumes, her costume leaves a much larger percentage of her skin. She also unzipped her tracksuit during the U.A. Sports Festival to reveal a sports bra that gave her access to her midriff.
* BigEater: Her classmates are shocked to see their {{Ojou}} vice president devouring food at training camp. As she explains, however, this is justified since her powers are CastFromCalories. She eats a lot in order to have a large store of matter to draw from when she creates objects.
* BigFancyHouse: Her first reaction when she invites some students over to her house to study is that she'll have to ask her mother to open up the hall. When her classmates do arrive at her house, they're stunned as the front gate of her estate runs the entire street:
-->'''Ashido:''' I knew she was rich, but I didn't know she was ''that'' rich!
* BoobsOfSteel: The toughest girl in Class 1-A. Naturally, she's also the bustiest. Her Quirk actually directly draws from her fat deposits, so her large breasts may actually be a cross between MostCommonSuperpower and RequiredSecondaryPowers given that her body is otherwise quite lean, although this is never directly discussed.
* BookSmart: She has the best grades in Class 1-A by a long shot, to the point that a quarter of her class comes to her for tutoring. This also ties into her usage of her [[ThePowerOfCreation Quirk]], which requires her to [[DifficultButAwesome understand and memorize the exact formula of whatever object she's creating]]. However, her abilities as TheStrategist are rivaled or surpassed by her classmates, Midoriya and Bakugo, whose grades are fourth and third in the class respectively.
* BrokenAce: Thanks to losing to Tokoyami before she could fight back in the U.A. Sports Festival, not being able to assert her ideas during the cavalry battle and exams, and to add insult to injury, finding out that the pro heroine who handpicked her for an internship pretty much only did so because of her looks, her confidence takes a ''nosedive''. She recovers it after figuring out a way to beat Aizawa.
* BrutalHonesty: Points out all the flaws in the first Heroes vs. Villains match and how it could've gone if the teams used their powers more effectively, and only praises Ida, the only one who did his part well. Freaked out by her lack of tact and the effect it has on the class of causing a ''very'' awkward silence to ensue, All Might silently thinks to himself that she was being a little ''too'' honest.
* CastFromCalories: Lipids, technically, but the effect is pretty much the same. Her Quirk uses them as raw materials, and being a BigEater is the easiest way she can replenish them. She can tire herself out if she uses too much of them.
* CharacterTics: Occasionally covers her chest with her arm while in her hero costume.
* ChildProdigy: She was able to use her Quirk as a child, meaning she could understand and memorize the molecular makeup of the different objects she created, starting with Russian matryoshka dolls.
* ClassRepresentative: The vice president of Class 1-A, below Ida, and a polished and straight-laced young lady. As she lampshades in the second OVA, her job is [[WackyHomeroom much harder than it should be]].
* CrazyPrepared: She learned how to create any and everything that might come in handy in her job as a heroine, which included flashbangs, tracking devices, several different types of melee weapons, gas masks, and anti-electricity capes.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Yaoyorozu's characterization in the manga and the ''Smash!!'' comics is notably different in a few aspects. In the manga, her self-esteem issues are based on a variety of reasons and is expressed as a generalized feeling of anxiety, but in the ''Smash!!'' comics, she is particularly ashamed and afraid of being a CuteClumsyGirl and has focused on correcting the "clumsy" aspect of her personality.
* DifficultButAwesome: Her Creation Quirk is very useful and versatile, but a RequiredSecondaryPower is that she needs to actually know the chemical composition of the things she's creating in order to make them. Fortunately, she's very intelligent (with the highest grades in the class) and carries an encyclopedia-like book around with her should she need to look up materials.
* DistaffCounterpart: She is the Ida among the girls: always quick to encourage proper behavior, but gets carried away with it all too often. Fittingly, she skirts closer to TeamMom, as she tends to be more nurturing and inclusive. Both also come from wealthy backgrounds, but neither choose to flaunt it in a negative sense.
* EatingSolvesEverything: Since her Quirk involves creating objects base on how much she had eaten, she always makes sure to have eaten enough to make a solution for even the toughest of problems.
* EndearinglyDorky: Momo is a NiceGirl who tries to be as mature and serious as possible but still can get easily excited and be somewhat awkward and goofy.
* ExtremeDoormat: For a while, she had trouble voicing her own ideas and plans, usually going along with others. However, during the Final Exams Arc, she gets better.
* FatalFlaw: Her indecisiveness and low self-esteem were holding her back, especially as she used to compare herself with Todoroki a lot. Later on, she rebuilds her confidence and makes choices and plans on her own.
* FishOutOfWater: She's filthy rich, but she often ''forgets'' that her fellow classmates don't have things such as butlers or giant fluffy master beds.
* FriendlyRivalry: Formed one with Kendo during the Joint Training Arc. Kendo was disheartened over the fact she and Yaoyorozu were treated as a package deal despite feeling Yaoyorozu got better grades and had a better Quirk, and revealed she desired to face off with Yaoyorozu, something Yaoyorozu was happy to oblige with. It helps that outside of training, the two have gotten along swimmingly thanks to their joint internship under Uwabami.
* GoGetterGirl: Is focused on academic studies and becoming a heroine, which shows in her class grades and rank, but falls into HeroicSelfDeprecation at times.
* GreatBigBookOfEverything: One of her support items is a dictionary called "the Yaoyorictionary" (or in some translations, "the Yaoyopedia"). It contains comprehensive descriptions of what is needed to make every single item that she needs.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: She's prone to insecurity regarding her intelligence and skills as a heroine. After Tokoyami easily defeats her, she slides into [[HerOwnWorstEnemy doubting herself entirely]] until Todoroki [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speaks out and gives her a much-needed pep talk]].
* HiddenBuxom: {{Zigzagg|ingTrope}}ed. In her school uniform and day-to-day clothing (which leans towards pretty and graceful, rather than provocative), it's not quite evident how well-endowed she is. But as her hero costume and appearance in a bikini in the anime reveal, she is ''stacked''.
* HighHeelPower: She wears high heels as part of her hero costume plus she's one of the top students academically, has a powerful Quirk, and possesses amazing leadership skills.
* HumbleHero: Zigzagged. She honestly wants to be a heroine for good, but is completely oblivious when socializing with those on the lower spectrum of the economy class, so she tends to come across as InnocentlyInsensitive towards her friends. Interestingly, this is considered an endearing point of hers for them.
* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: She can create anything from her body -- from mundane things like Russian dolls to weapons as powerful as cannons. The downsides are that she has to know the exact molecular makeup of whatever she's creating and that her power is limited by her food intake.
* ImprobableHairstyle: How does her ponytail stay up like that?
* TheIndecisive: Of the insecure type. Losing to Tokoyami in the Sports Festival arc caused her to lose confidence in herself and constantly compare herself with TheAce Todoroki. Fast forward to the practical exam where she's paired up with him, and she's just following his plan hesitantly, unsure of its effectiveness. When Mr. Aizawa has Todoroki tied up and hanging in the air, she internally [[FreakOut freaks out]] over whether she should save him or just stick to ''his'' plan and keep running. She's able to regain her confidence, make her ''own'' decisions, and come up with a successful strategy, [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre after receiving encouragement from Todoroki]].
-->'''Yaoyorozu:''' ''[having an inner conflict]'' Is Todoroki all right? Is this okay? Should I make something to help me go faster at the expense of time? ''Is this okay''? Will I be able to get out like this? Where am I running? No... why? '''Is this... ''really'' okay'''?
* InnocentlyInsensitive: In an endearing way, Yaoyorozu tends to forget that status-wise, she's much wealthier than her classmates, not because she feels that she's above them, but because she's naive about their differing lifestyles. So she'll do things like casually talking about her mansion and expensive tea brands while being oblivious to how baffled her friends are. However, she's so sweet that her classmates find her too adorable to be mad at her.
* InSeriesNickname: Yaomomo, mostly used by Jiro and the other girls in the class.
* {{Keigo}}: Whether she's addressing elders, or her peers, Yaoyorozu speaks in a formal, dignified manner in her Japanese dialogue, never using casual phrases. It's noteworthy that she's the only girl who uses the "-san" honorific to address boys.
* LadyOfWar: A sophisticated, graceful {{ojou}} who shows great expertise in wielding the different weapons she generates from her [[SpontaneousWeaponCreation Quirk]], especially [[SimpleStaff staffs]]. Even in very dangerous situations, despite her young age, she remains calm and analytical enough to devise innovative strategies.
* TheLeader: Yaoyorozu has notable leadership skills for her age. She's capable of understanding a situation quickly and formulate a plan fast. Midnight praises her and says she will be a great leader one day. She often becomes the leader of the class whenever Midoriya isn't around. [[spoiler:She also needs to lead a group of interns from 1-A and 1-B into halting Gigantomachia]].
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijg28rq_LuU&index=52&list=PLEQjOG7DtEQHzWS2q4btHlyc3DbN_U7iK "Momo Yaoyorozu"]], which is a sophisticated and sweet piece that is led by a violin.
* LeotardOfPower: Her hero costume is essentially a rather revealing one-piece.
* LogicalWeakness: Not only can she not create things she doesn't know how to create down to the atomic level, but she also needs time to both make and use her items. Tokoyami defeats her in the Sports Festival by having Dark Shadow attack her continuously, giving her no time to think or go on the offensive herself. Even then, excess use can drain her to exhaustion as she still needs lipids for herself.
* LongHairIsFeminine: She has long black hair usually tied in a ponytail, and is a refined, polite girl from an extremely wealthy family.
* MatterReplicator: Her Quirk allows her to come up with any object out of her body save for living matter, though larger objects take more time and cause ClothingDamage. The material is transmuted from her body fat.
* MeaningfulName: "Yaoyorozu" is a traditional word that means "eight million" or, more appropriately, a really high number. This relates to the amount of stuff she can create with her Quirk and to [[WealthsInAName her financial position]].
* MiseryTrigger: Yaoyorozu's Quirk allows her to make just about anything depending on how much mass it requires and how much food she's eaten. As she herself puts it, the more she eats, the more she makes. When Sero compares this to poop, Yaoyorozu becomes instantly depressed.
* MostCommonSuperPower: Certainly a future heroine, who is also very busty for her age. This is possibly justified based on how her Quirk works: She creates things from her own body fat. Bigger breasts means more fat reserves, more fat reserves means more to work with.
* MsFanservice: The lower part of her hero costume consist of two utility belts and a top that [[AbsoluteCleavage boldly displays her cleavage]]. Given that her Quirk requires exposed skin to produce objects, there is at least some practical justification for this.
* NeverGetsFat: She has the ability to make just about anything out of her body fat, so whatever weight she puts on through eating is quickly turned into various items she uses while being a hero in training. In fact, she has to go out of her way to make sure she's eating extra to make up for all the extra calories she burns.
* NiceGirl: Although she can come off as a little stern and condescending due to her upbringing, she has nothing but the best interests at heart and radiates sweetness when she's in a good mood, leaving her surrounded by "bounciness" [=SFX=] during such times.
* NiceShoes: Her hero costume comes with some imposingly tall candy apple red go-go boots.
* NoConservationOfEnergy: Downplayed. Creating things is explicitly said to use her own body fat and is limited by her food intake, but the amount of stuff she's able to create at once still far exceeds what should be possible (such as during the U.A. Sports Festival, she pulls an entire cannon out of herself), especially considering her relatively slender frame.
* NotSoAboveItAll:
** In a deleted panel from the manga that is included in the volume extras and anime, she was ''[[ThrowTheDogABone hyper]]'' overjoyed when she was asked to host a study session at her house. She then proceeded to obliviously brag about the perks of her posh accommodations, without realizing she just insulted everybody who's working class.
** Despite the seriousness of the situation, during the Hideout Raid Arc, when the team needs disguises, they purchase them from a store. When it's pointed out that Yaoyorozu could've just made them herself, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial she stammers and tries to play it off as supporting the local economy]], despite it being pretty obvious that she was excited about visiting said store.
* NumberTwo: She is the vice president of Class 1-A behind Ida. In an unofficial way, she is also this to Midoriya. In most given situations, Class 1-A looks at Midoriya for guidance. If he is not around, the one to take the role of TheLeader will often be her.
* OddFriendship: She becomes Jiro's close friend as time goes. Jiro being the most outspoken tomboyish and snarkiest girl in the group, while Yaoyorozu is a pinnacle of delicacy and politeness.
* {{Ojou}}: A polite and well-mannered girl from a very rich family. Her insane wealth has become something of a RunningGag.
* ThePowerOfCreation: Her Quirk can create any non-living object she wants so long as she knows the exact molecular formula of said object.
* RedOniBlueOni: In opposition to their color schemes, she plays the Blue Oni to Jiro's Red in both the USJ and the filler episode 55: calm, poised and calculating.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Her Quirk, Creation, makes it necessary for her to know the molecular composition of the non-living object she intends to create, hence why she often carries a book on her with such information. It also draws from her fat deposits to work, though her physique is shown to be quite lean except for one [[BoobsOfSteel noticeable exception]].
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: She's so used to her luxurious accommodations that she doesn't realize how badly she accidentally insults her working-class classmates when she talks about how many resources she has at her disposal nor does she notice how uncomfortable and out of place they feel in her incredibly large and fancy house. Her mother also forbids her from attending public festivals known for selling sweets and street food, as her family's personal cooks could make better, less sickening desserts.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: PlayedWith. Her Quirk requires exposed skin, so her hero costume is [[{{Stripperiffic}} very skimpy]], to begin with, and she has a pretty significant problem with ClothingDamage when creating larger objects. She doesn't seem to worry about exposing herself at all for practical purposes, such as when Jiro embarrassingly points out to Yaoyorozu that her plan destroyed her entire top, the latter is unfazed and simply states that she'll make a new one. Even male classmates being around doesn't cause her to hesitate at all, as she pulls open her top in front of Todoroki without warning him in order to allow for more space in creating alloy fibers, and in the anime adaptation, she all but flashes an embarrassed Shoji when she needs more space to work with. However, she [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl doesn't appreciate being manipulated into things like this for non-practical purposes]], as seen with Mineta and Kaminari's plot to trick the girls into wearing cheerleader outfits during the U.A. Sports Festival halftime, even though her hero costume shows more skin than the cheerleader outfits.
* ShesGotLegs: There's definitely some big and tall legs on Yaoyorozu, which is made even more apparent when she wears her hero costume's equally big and tall boots. Horikoshi even [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CEqdG5LVAAAHnHP.jpg:large drew her]] with her bare legs and feet on full display on his Twitter account for the release of Chapter 41.
* SimpleStaff: She frequently wields these in combat situations, as seen in the [=USJ=] and U.A. Sports Festival Arcs. This is justified since they're simple and easy to make.
* SkilledButNaive: Aizawa notes that while she's very gifted, in terms of mental/emotional maturity, she's still a 15-year-old girl who easily gets overwhelmed in times of crisis. She matures a little bit after Todoroki boosts her morale by professing his faith in her abilities after she suffers a lapse in confidence. During the Forest Training Camp Arc, she manages to make a tracker to hunt down a Nomu with, and All Might praises her for her quick thinking and ability to make snap decisions.
* SolidGoldPoop: It's heavily implied that she provided the three gold bars for the Christmas party's mystery gift swap.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her hero name is "Creati", not "Creaty".
* SpoiledSweet: She is the wealthiest student in her class, but she never flaunts her money or acts snobby -- willingly, that is. She's prone to accidental insults, and she's so used to being able to casually spend large amounts of money that she forgets her friends can't do the same. Nevertheless, she still is a genuinely kind and sweet girl, who willingly opens her home to her classmates who need to study for finals, and always looks out for the others on the battlefield.
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: She has the ability to generate any type of non-living matter from her body, and she uses it to create weapons and other equipment for her friends.
* SquishyWizard: She can create just about any kind of object she wishes, but depending on the object, it takes time to make them. So she needs others to hold off the enemy while she creates the materials she needs. While her creations can do a lot of damage (like when she makes an entire cannon) and is possibly the most versatile Quirk of any character, in terms of direct physical prowess she's as normal as anyone else, as demonstrated in her fight with Kendo.
* StatuesqueStunner: Yaoyorozu stands tall at 173 cm (roughly a little over [=5'8''=], and elevated to roughly [=5'9''=] in her hero costume's boots), towering over all the girls in her class and even several of the boys. It also helps her stand out as the vice president of the class and the most matured, demure and refined girl out of the bunch.
* TheStrategist: Combine TheAce with TeenGenius and this is the result; Yaoyorozu's quick thinking and considerable intelligence give her the potential to be a great strategist.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: {{Justified|Trope}}. Because Yaoyorozu needs her skin exposed to have free access to her Quirk, her outfits are revealing for practical reasons. She comes dangerously close to this prospect but manages to stay within the [[StealthPun bare]] limits of wholesome. While wearing her gym clothes, she'll often unzip her jacket to reveal a sports bra for a similar level of effectiveness with significantly less exposure. She also tends to be fairly prone to ClothingDamage.
* SuperpowerLottery: Definitely a winner. She was born with one of the stronger Quirks in the series, as the ability to make literally any object or weapon she wants essentially gives her unmatched creative potential even compared to most pro-heroes; ''All For One himself'' is probably the only person with more versatility than her. Still, her work-ethic is not to be discredited. She has to know the exact molecular structure of anything she wants to create, which requires an encyclopedic knowledge of a wide variety of things and took years of studying to master.
* ThisBananaIsArmed: During the Final Exam against Mr. Aizawa, she constantly produces Russian nesting dolls as an indicator if he's present, since she would stop producing them. When Aizawa does appear, she throws the dolls she made at him, most of which had flash grenades hidden inside.
* TearsOfJoy: She cries after she passes the practical exam with Todoroki, especially after he thanks her for developing the effective strategy that allowed them to win against Mr. Aizawa.
* TeenGenius: A justified example as Yaoyorozu's Quirk requires her to know the exact molecular formula of any object she wants to create, so she needs to have great memory and analysis skills. This is made obvious as she has the highest grades of the entire Class of 1-A and according to her stats in the Official Character Book, she has an Intelligence Ranking of 6/5 or S.[[note]]This puts her in the same intelligence bracket as [[BigGood All Might]], [[SuperIntelligence Nezu]] and [[BigBad All For One]].[[/note]]
* TokenRichStudent: While other students like Ida and Todoroki are also mentioned to be fairly well-off, she unknowingly flaunts her wealth in front of her working-class classmates as a RunningGag. She has a fabulous BigFancyHouse, goes on vacations to Europe, brings a too-large four-poster bed to a Japanese dorm because she didn't know it wouldn't fit, and is excited at the prospect of thrift shopping because she's never done it before. However, she's so sweet about it that her classmates don't mind.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Kyoka Jiro is a [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] rock musician with BoyishShortHair. Momo Yaoyorozu is a sweet YamatoNadeshiko with {{long hair|IsFeminine}}.
* TookALevelInBadass: Her usage of Creation initially starts with basic melee items like poles and shields as well as some utility items, then over the course of the series, begins to make more advanced creations of the mechanical kind like cannons and gas masks, and takes a step up further with electronics like GPS bugs and trackers as well as heat-detecting headsets that can lock onto things.
* {{Tritagonist}}: Yaoyorozu often takes this role when she tags along with people like Todoroki and Midoriya, acting as the strategist of the group who keeps everybody composed and stops them from making rash decisions.
* UnclePennybags: She's very happy to open her home to her classmates when they ask her for study tips, going so far as to ask what kinds of tea they would prefer and bringing what are clearly very expensive sweets to her study hall for them to enjoy.
* UtilityBelt: Wears a thick yellow one as part of her suit.
* VaporWear: Her hero costume clearly has very little bust support, being a LeotardOfPower with AbsoluteCleavage.
* VocalDissonance: In the English dub, she sounds like a grown woman rather than a 15-year-old girl.
* WellTrainedButInexperienced: Momo Yaoyorozu got into U.A. on recommendation, coming from a rich family and possessing a Quirk - "Creation" - that she had spent hours studying for in its use. While she is an incredibly intelligent member of the class and has used her Quirk to great effectiveness when as part of a group, she has difficulty when forced to stand on her own, a problem that has given her reserves of self-doubt as she continues to lose fights as the series progresses. Recognizing this, Aizawa pairs her up with Shoto Todoroki (who also relies too much on his Quirk to carry him) against himself.
* YamatoNadeshiko: While she is a MsFanservice in a {{Stripperiffic}} LeotardOfPower, otherwise, she hits many of the qualifications, especially out of costume. She is a kind, polite and selfless young lady, beautiful with long black hair and fair skin, acts calm and demure, takes the TeamMom role towards her classmates, and proves to be a tough LadyOfWar.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Like Ida, she has a very mature physique for a 15-year-old. This actually comes in handy when they disguise themselves when rescuing Bakugo because she looks much older as a result.

!!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/MasakazuNishida (Japanese), Creator/IanSinclair (English), Creator/DanOsorio (Latin American Spanish/Movies)
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 3 (Manga), Episode 4 (Anime)
!!!'''Quirk:''' [[MultiArmedAndDangerous Dupli-Arms]]
->''"I regret it all too. Still... this is no time to let our emotions get the better of us."''
A tall, intimidating, yet friendly young man whose Quirk, "Dupli-Arms", takes the form of multiple arm-shaped tentacles that can replicate any part of his body at their tips; he is often compared to an [[AnimalMotifs octopus]]. For personal reasons, he chooses to always keep his face concealed under a mask.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: The sketches of his original design reveal [[ScaryTeeth how]] his face looks unmasked. Otherwise, it can't be seen in the manga.
* AnatomyAnomaly: He doesn't have any visible ears.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: An octopus. This one is a bit subtle.
* AnArmAndALeg: A villain severs one of his arms during the attack on the training camp. It leaves a nasty gash, but he comes out fine otherwise due to his Quirk. [[GoodThingYouCanHeal Good thing he can heal]].
* TheBigGuy: Standing at a whooping 6'3'', he's the tallest pupil in class 1-A and has the usual HeroicBuild.
* CombatTentacles: Uses them to replicate parts of his body.
* CoolMask: The lower half of his face is always covered by a sort of ninja mask.
* CreepyGood: He is far from heroic-looking, and according to extra material, his mask is used to hide a villainous-looking face, yet he's one of the gentlest kids in Class 1-A.
* {{Determinator}}: In Heroes:Rising, he puts his all into protecting Katsuma and Mahora. Even taking several attacks from Nine's fingerbeams that were even able to seriously hurt Deku and still kept on trucking to protect them!
* EarlyBirdCameo: He appeared during the entrance exam, albeit he could only be seen from a back view.
* ExtraEyes: He can put extra eyes [[EyesDoNotBelongThere at the ends of his tentacles]].
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: And also mouths, ears, etc. He can replicate any body parts on his tentacles.
* FaceOfAThug: According to his character description and some concept art, his face is scary-looking, but he's a NiceGuy who is training to be a Pro Hero. He constantly wears a face mask to deliberately defy this trope.
* FriendToAllChildren: Exemplified best in the second movie, where he protected Mahoro and Katsuma to the best of his ability, even [[spoiler:using his own body to shield them from Nine’s attacks and falling debris]]. He’s also shown to be really kind and gentle when talking with both of them. This pays him back well when Katsuma uses his Quirk to heal him while the two are trying to encourage Bakugo and Deku.
* GentleGiant: He is noticeably taller than most of his classmates, enough to carry two of them on his back, but he's one of the kinder members of Class 1-A.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: In the Forest Training Camp Arc, he gets a hand chopped off by an attacking villain. Fortuitous, as he's the only member of the class who can easily recover from such an injury.
* HealingFactor: Shoji is capable of regrowing lost duplicate limbs, such as a ''double'' duplicate that was cut off from one of his limb branches during the forest trip.
* HiddenDepths: Apart from a desk and a futon, Shoji's room is completely empty. He explains that it's because he hasn't had any "worldly desires" ever since he was young, complete with Todoroki identifying him as a minimalist.
* HorrifyingHero: According to the initial sketches of his character, he took steps to avoid this. He was told his face was terrifying, so he always wears a mask to cover his mouth to avoid scaring people:
-->"I'm used to being feared."
* HumbleHero: As he states, he has no "worldly desires" and seems to live a very simple lifestyle. The dub adds a bit of dry wit to this when he states that he's "never understood why people would want to fill their room with junk."
* LonelyBachelorPad: Subverted. His own room is indeed minimalistic with no furniture at all except for the absolute basics and thus looks very much like this. However, Shoji is merely a teenager so this spartan get up is actually quite uncommon for young man his age.
* LostInTranslation: His hero name in Japanese is pronounced as "Tentakoru", which is close to the Japanese way to pronounce "Tentacle" (Tentakuru), except with "tako" (Japanese for "octopus") inserted in place of "taku", turning his hero name into a PunnyName. This wasn't localized, which means that Shoji's hero name ends up sounding just like a weird corruption of the word "Tentacle".
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: He can grow multiple arms if he wanted as part of his Quirk.
* NiceGuy: He's very kind-hearted and calm most of the time, reassuring Tokoyami he holds no grudge against him after Dark Shadow goes on a rampage, and even rescuing him. He's also one of the few students that seems to tolerate Mineta.
* NonUniformUniform: The only student to wear a sleeveless uniform, in order to accommodate his six arms. That's one of the differences about a post-Quirk world; outfits can be custom-tailored on demand to accommodate unusual needs.
* NotQuiteFlight: The membranes between his arms allow him to glide to a certain extent.
* NotSoStoic:
** When All Might shows up in the USJ Arc, he is seemingly fanboying over it for a second (with [[TooManyMouths at least two big smiles]]).
** During the battle with the League of Villains at the training camp, he visibly freaks out when Dark Shadow's full power is unleashed and it goes completely berserk, destroying everything in its path. Hearing the normally stoic Shoji shouting in a ''panicked voice'' is unnerving.
* PeekABangs: Alongside his mask, they help cover most of his face.
* PunnyName: His name references a proverb: "the walls have ears, the doors have eyes". In this case, it's a reference to the traditional Japanese sliding paper doors, which are called "Shoji". Eavesdropping is the main strength of his Quirk. This is also the case with his hero name, as shown on the LostInTranslation entry.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: He can do this by duplicating more arms to punch with.
* SleevesAreForWimps: Both his school uniform and his hero costume have no sleeves in order to accommodate for his Quirk.
* TheStoic: Mostly keeps level headed and calm, even in dangerous situations, this can be partly said to the fact that, since he has only half of his face showing, it would be harder to show expressions.
* SuperSenses: His hearing is noted to be especially good, and is useful for scoping out large areas.
* SuperStrength: Thanks to his large build and being able to have [[MultiArmedAndDangerous extra arms]], he is one of the class' physical powerhouses.
* TeamDad: The way he looks out for the well-being of his classmates, such as carrying Midoriya on his back when he's injured or wrapping a freezing Tsuyu in all his arms to keep her warm, coupled with his NiceGuy personality makes him a good example.
* TooManyMouths: His Quirk allows him to replicate any body part onto his tentacles; he's occasionally used them for growing mouths.
* WouldHitAGirl: When Toga pinned down an incapacitated Izuku during the kidnapping of Bakugo by the League of villains, he didn't hesitate one-second in slapping her away. Justified because had he not intervened, Toga was fully intending to stab Izuku, potentially fatally.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Despite being the tallest kid in his class, enough to pass off as an adult, Shoji is actually the youngest student; he's almost a whole year younger than the oldest student, Bakugo, even.

!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 5 (Manga), Episode 5 (Anime)
!!!'''Playable in:''' ''My Hero Academia: Battle for All'', ''VideoGame/MyHeroOnesJustice'', ''My Hero One's Justice 2''
!!!'''Quirk:''' [[MakeSomeNoise Earphone Jack]]
->"''But there's no time to hesitate, so do it now! You wanna be a hero, don't you?! Then let's pass this test.''"
An aloof and sarcastic student whose Quirk, "Earphone Jack", takes the form of elongated earlobes ending in jack plugs, which she can extend and plug into objects to catch extremely faint sounds or channel the sound of her own heartbeat into them in the form of powerful vibrations. She is a talented musician and is especially fond of rock music.
----
* ActionGirl: She can unleash powerful sound waves by plugging her earphone jacks into the speakers built into her boots.
* ACupAngst: She appears to be sensitive about having the smallest cup size in class. [[ArentYouGoingToRavishMe She even got upset]] when [[DirtyKid Mineta]] went on a rant about the girls he wanted to peep on, and she was the only one who ''wasn't'' mentioned.
* AllWomenArePrudes:
** Jiro has little tolerance to nudity and gets immediately flustered when confronted with it. During the USJ Arc, when Yaoyorozu's costume gets torn up by her Creation Quirk, Jiro was [[NakedFreakOut more embarrassed by Yaoyorozu's skin exposure]] than she was.
** Jiro is the only one of the girls to be [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn utterly terrified]] at the sight of a naked Mirio upon training with him, especially when he looms right behind her [[FullFrontalAssault completely naked]], implying that she's a total prude indeed or that Mirio is [[GagPenis unusually huge downstairs]].
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Similar to Kaminari, she has random streaks on her hair that resemble audio waveforms in her case, which perfectly fit her sound-themed Quirk.
* AudioErotica: According to her classmates, she has a very husky, sexy singing voice. We finally get to hear it in the anime, [[https://youtu.be/npBlTKcHRVk?t=57 and it's amazing]]!
* BeautifulSingingVoice: Class 1-A is assigned to put on a show for the school's culture festival. When deciding who would be singing, the class is immediately blown away by Jiro's husky and powerful voice, planting her in the role of lead singer while everyone else would be doing stunts, instrumentals, and backup.
* BerserkButton: Jiro is really embarrassed by her closet punk rocker hobby, and if somebody brings it up in conversation, she gets mad enough to raise her earphone jacks at the offending party. When Kaminari learned about it during the Room King contest, Jiro was blushing and very put out at having to show people her room, and even though he thought it was something she was comfortable sharing, she got so upset she ran off and sulked at her desk when it was brought up in class.
* BizarreHumanBiology: Similar to Ida and his leg mufflers, Jiro has actual earphone jacks as part of her body, which she inherited from her mother. She can even plug them into her cellphone and listen to music.
* BoyishShortHair: She is a [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] rock musician with short hair down to her chin.
* CharacterTics: She tends to fiddle with her earlobes or twirl them around her fingers.
* CivvieSpandex: Keeping with her punk rock theme, her hero costume looks more like she's heading to a mosh pit rather than fighting crime. Her upgraded costume includes headphones.
* CombatPragmatist: She kicks Kaminari into the action despite his hesitance to fight because she realizes that he can function as a living taser before he does.
* CrazyPrepared: Like Midoriya, she compiles journals about her love of music. So when the time came for Class 1-A to put on a show and she needed to help prepare the others with their instruments, her journals came in handy.
* DishingOutDirt: Her new special move, "Heartbeat Fuzz", allows her to use her sound waves in such a high impact, it is able to shake and destroy the earth before her.
* DramaticIrony: When she and Koda face off against Present Mic, she is surprised by his efficiency in battle, having thought he had gotten by on flash and showmanship. While Mic does prove himself to be quite ruthless, he really was just screwing around with them.
* DubPersonalityChange: A minor case, but her reactions to Yaoyorozu scolding her for shoving Kaminari into the enemies during the USJ attack are quite different in the sub and English dub.
-->'''Sub:''' [[SincerityMode Sorry]], [[ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime thought it was a good idea at the time]].\\
'''Dub:''' [[SarcasmMode I'm sorry]]. Next time I'll ''ask'' before saving our butts.
* FacialMarkings: She has tear-shaped markings on her cheeks as part of her hero costume. It's unknown whether they serve any practical purpose or are just for aesthetics.
* FemaleRockersPlayBass: She's the most 'alternative' of the Class 1-A girls (she's a snarky and aloof rocker with short hair, in contrast to the other girls who are preppier or straightforwardly feminine) and is the class's most preeminent musician; during the School Festival she spearheads their school festival with her BeautifulSingingVoice and skill at the bass guitar.
* FireForgedFriends: Her friendship with Koda sets off from their teamwork against Present Mic during the Final Exams Arc.
* FlippingTheBird: One of her most potent insults. One time, Kaminari apparently said something insensitive to her without meaning to after the aforementioned peeping incident that rubbed her the wrong way. Cue her doing this to a stunned Kaminari.
* {{Foil}}: To Midoriya. Both Jiro and Midoriya are teens that have wanted to be heroes since they were little kids, have hobbies that they are passionate enough about to compile entire notebooks on, and quickly get embarrassed when others take note of their passion for said hobbies. For Midoriya, the hobby is hero analysis, while for Jiro, it's music. Interestingly enough, their parents have vastly different reactions. The Jiros support Kyoka, and even agree to her continuing to go to U.A. after she's unconscious for days due to Mustard's gas attack, whereas Inko insists that Izuku leave U.A. for another hero school after he gets badly injured due to his fight with Muscular.
* TheGadfly: She absolutely ''loves'' to screw with Kaminari. She has a fondness for him because he makes her laugh. This is especially the case when he's reduced to a gibbering, "wheeying" idiot. She also loves to give him a condescending remark.
* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: Believe it or not, out of all the girls in the class, she is the most afraid with anything involving ghosts. When the others want to visit Class 1-C's haunted house, she is quick to tell them no. This is also the reason she freaks out when Class 1-A spars with Mirio - his phasing resembles a ghost.
* {{Goth}}: The rock fan variety. She wears a lot of black and has a dark aesthetic even in her hero outfit.
* GuiltyPleasures: Her interest in music. She's the only girl embarrassed about the others seeing her room during the dorm tour. Chapter 169 reveals that she doesn't think her musical interest is heroic, and that she isn't proud enough about it to perform live during the U.A. Cultural Festival. Even though Uraraka and Hagakure have watched her perform in her room on the guitar, her body language shows she is really shy in front of an audience: nervously blushing, hands tucked under her legs, and feet dangling above the floor with her toes pointed out and avoiding the ground. It turns out that this is largely due to the fact that in the past, she felt conflicted about her dream of becoming a pro hero since she thought her parents would want her to become a musician like them, even though they assured her they would support her no matter which path she took.
* HiddenDepths: She's a great bass player and vocalist, and leads the effort for 1-A's performance by creating the song and teaching the others how to play. This is due to both of her parents being musicians, and they fostered her love of music from an early age.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While she isn't exactly the nicest person, she's still a supportive, caring friend who tries to encourage Koda to do his best during their final exam.
* LikeParentLikeChild:
** She and her mother share the same Quirk and similar physical traits.
** Her love for rock music definitely comes from her father.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Due to injuries sustained during the Forest Training Camp Arc, she is one of only three students in Class 1-A who don't know about Kirishima's insane plan to rescue Bakugo, the others being Hagakure and Bakugo himself.
* LogicalWeakness: Having sensitive ears means if there is a sudden loud noise when she amplifies her sense of hearing, [[SensoryOverload Jiro will get shocked]]. This is how Bakugo knocks her out in the second OVA and how she is damaged in Episode 55. In addition, she has to have some kind of surface to transmit vibrations through or she cannot use her Quirk at all offensively. Normally her hero costume fixes this, but if she is unable to use it, she can only really use it for support roles.
* MakeSomeNoise: Her Quirk allows her to increase the sound of her heartbeat and, in combination with her hero costume, transfer the sound to her targets. While debilitating on its own, she later gets upgraded speakers that she can use to turn them into destructive shock waves that demolish the ground.
* MeaningfulName: "Jiro" contains the character for "ear". "Kyoka" contains the character for the verb "echo".
* MundaneUtility: Yes, her Quirk can function just like normal earplugs, as seen with Jiro plugging them into her phone.
* NomDeMom: She and her dad use her mom's surname, which is apparently relatively common in this universe.
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: In the Latin American Spanish dub of the TV series, she speaks with a very thick Cuban-American accent. Averted in the dubs of the films, since she was dubbed with a neutral accent.
* OddFriendship:
** Seems to have one with Yaoyorozu. Yaoyorozu's a sweet TeenGenius, while Jiro's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who has a very unsophisticated Quirk and lifestyle.
** She has one with Koda. Koda is a very shy ShrinkingViolet, while Jiro is an outspoken DeadpanSnarker. Both of their Quirks work based on sound, but he talks with animals, while she attacks using sound.
* OrganicTechnology: Her earphone jacks are naturally part of her body and can be extended or retracted at will.
* PersonalityPowers: Yes, the rocker girl has sound-based earplug powers.
* PervertRevengeMode: When Mineta [[WithCatlikeTread loudly]] discovers a peephole to the girls' locker room, her response is to quickly stab him in the eye through it.
* RedOniBlueOni: In opposition to their color schemes, she's the Red Oni to Yaoyorozu's blue in both the USJ and the anime filler episode 55: Impulsive and fiery in comparison with the cautious Yaoyorozu.
* RunningGag: A minor one, but whenever one of the boys fantasizes about the girls, Jiro always seems to be left out of it. One of the first things she does when arriving at the party wearing a cute dress in ''Two Heroes'' is zapping Kaminari and Mineta when they start saying unflattering things about the way she looks.
* SensorCharacter: In team situations, she usually uses her Quirk to plug her jacks into walls or floors to listen for oncoming enemies.
* ShyFingerTwiddling: She does a variant of this with her earlobes when flustered or embarrassed, tapping the ends of her headphone jacks together meekly.
* TheSnarkKnight: She's quite sharp-tongued, especially towards Kaminari in order to tease and make fun of him, but no one is safe from her cutting sarcasm.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her first name can be spelled "Kyoka", "Kyouka", or "Kyōka", while her last name can be spelled "Jiro", "Jirou", or "Jirō".
* SquishyWizard:
** While her Quirk has immense offensive power when utilized properly, it leaves her with very few defensive options. This is shown aptly during Jiro's first big fight scene during the USJ Arc, where she manages to wipe out entire scores of villains singlehandedly, but would've been taken out by a single surprise attack had it not been for Yaoyorozu's intervention.
** [[spoiler:Class 1-B prioritizes eliminating her first, since her search abilities and firepower are an asset to her team, while her lack of defensive abilities makes her an easy target. Luckily for her team, Bakugo, who's become willing to protect his teammates, comes to her aid]].
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Jiro is the spitting image of her mother, down to having the same Quirk, except for the fact that her mother wears glasses. It's subtle but she inherited her father's eyes down to their shape.
* SugarAndIcePersonality:
** Besides being quite snarky all the time, she has a soft spot for Yaoyorozu and Koda.
** She also never misses the chance to taunt Kaminari and call him stupid, and even uses her Quirk one time on him and Aoyama for saying her room is not "girly". Regardless of this, she still cares for him and all of her friends.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Kyoka Jiro is a [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] rock musician with BoyishShortHair. Momo Yaoyorozu is a sweet YamatoNadeshiko with {{long hair|IsFeminine}}.
* TomboyishVoice: In theme with her style, she also has the gruffest voice of all the girls in 1-A.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Despite her interest in rock music, her fairly boyish fashion sense, and her sarcastic personality, her character file states that she has a girly side. In ''Two Heroes'', she wears a pink dress and a floral hair accessory to the party.
* TrickedOutShoes: Her hero costume's boots have speakers on them that she can plug her earlobes into. Later, she adds a set of headphones to her ensemble to make it easier and faster to execute her heartbeat assaults and prevent bad guys from recognizing and reacting to what she's about to do.
* UnusualEars: Her earlobes are long and look like audio connectors. She inherited them from her mother.
* VariableLengthChain: She can extend her earlobes and use them as weapons at will.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Her relationship with Kaminari is something akin to this. They hang out with each other frequently, but their interactions consist mostly of bickering.
* WackyParentSeriousChild: Seems to have this relationship with her father. When he tries to look like a serious stern father in front of Aizawa and All Might, she points out he was acting like a fanboy the day before.
* WaistcoatOfStyle: Jiro is the only student in her class that wears a waistcoat as part of her school uniform. Everyone else wears jackets.
* WhipItGood: Her Earphone Jacks can also be used like this.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Bluish purple hair.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KiyotakaFurushima (Japanese), Creator/ChristopherBevins (English), Braulio Hernández (Latin American Spanish/TV series), Ángel Pardo (Latin American Spanish/Movies)
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 6 (Manga), Episode 5 (Anime)
!!!'''Quirk:''' [[DuctTapeForEverything Tape]]
->''"See, the simpler you are, the better!"''
A chipper, down-on-his-luck boy whose Quirk, "Tape", allows him to shoot unusually strong tape out of his slot-like elbows, which he can use to restrain foes, hold together large objects, or swing through the air with great mobility. His plain face is often the butt of many jokes, as is his unfortunate tendency to be shown up by others.
----
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: His hair looks like the jagged edge of a torn piece of tape.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Invoked and exploited. Sero ''knows'' that he looks silly and not very threatening and he often uses this to his advantage because people often overlook him. Thus, no one ever sees him coming, which allows him to prove his resourcefulness to its fullest extent whenever he's given a chance and how versatile his Quirk can be.
* BizarreHumanBiology: The shape of his elbows implies that he has actual tape dispensers inside of him which he can control like an organ.
* BookDumb: He has an average intelligence stat of 3/5, but apparently he's not very good at tests. He had the 4th lowest score on Class 1-A's midterm.
* BoringButPractical: Much like Mineta, he specializes in traps more than direct combat. His Quirk is more versatile though, and can be used as a BuildingSwing.
* BrokenFaceplate: During the battle against Nine in Heroes:Rising, he gets half of the visor destroyed. It gets completely wrecked when Nine sends him flying into the ground.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: His hero costume has a stylized white "H" on the front.
* BuildingSwing: A practical use of his Quirk, just like Franchise/SpiderMan.
* ButtMonkey: Despite his upbeat disposition, he is probably the biggest one in the whole class next to Mineta. Every time he gets a chance to prove himself, someone either one-ups him or takes him down before he ever had a chance to really show his stuff.
* CovertPervert: During the Provisional Hero License Exam Arc in the anime, Sero is flustered when Midoriya tells him and Uraraka that Camie, turned into the latter. He then asks whether or not Camie is naked in her Uraraka disguise. He then shares this information with the two-class perverts.
* CurbStompBattle: In matches against both Todoroki and Midnight, he gets wasted in seconds.
* DeadpanSnarker: Quite surprisingly so. Despite his cheerful disposition, he's also notable for having some of the snarkiest lines of the series.
-->'''Sero:''' ''(To Bakugo about being class rep)'' What? Did you honestly think anyone was gonna vote for you?
* DontYouDarePityMe: After Todoroki [[CurbStompBattle puts him in a deep freeze]] barely ''seconds'' into their match during the U.A. Sports Festival, the whole audience is roused into a pity party for poor Sero, chanting for him not to worry about it. To KickTheDog even more, little schoolkids randomly come up to him on his way to U.A. and tell him the exact same thing. Tsuyu tries to tell him not to worry about ''that'', but she only compounds his humiliation.
* DuctTapeForEverything: What his Quirk boils down to, even though it's not exactly duct tape. Sero uses his tape mostly as rope-like implements.
* GrapplingHookPistol: Sero's tape dispenser elbows can essentially work like this as the tape he shoots out from them can be rolled back in order to pull himself up (or pull other people towards him).
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: The power to create scotch tape has never been more useful.
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Subverted. Whenever he is in a proper combat situation, he always wears his helmet, which covers his entire face. The visor becomes conveniently translucent whenever Horikoshi wants us to see his face if he doesn't open it.
* HeroicRROD: Ejecting too much tape causes him to suffer dry skin.
* HiddenDepths:
** Had one of the more exotic and tastefully decorated dorm rooms among the boys, belying his otherwise plain nature. Jiro even lampshades the unexpected nature.
--->'''Jiro:''' Sero, I didn't peg you for someone who'd like this stuff.\\
'''Sero:''' Yup, that's me! Always the wild card.
** His favorite foods are oranges, soybeans, and other foods that look healthy, implying that he's somewhat health-conscious. He does have a HeroicBuild like all the other male Class 1-A students.
** He seems to know exactly how to press people's buttons when needed, which is exactly how he got Bakugo to showcase his drumming ability.
* InstantKnots: His tape can easily wrap around his intended target. His Quirk wouldn't be as useful otherwise.
* {{Keet}}: He's loud and show-offy and is quite easily one of the most energetic and fun-loving people in the class.
* LethalHarmlessPowers:
** It's implied that his tape could be used to suffocate someone. When Mineta used a piece of it as a makeshift gas mask to protect himself from Midnight's sleep-inducing mist, he could only wear it for about a minute before starting to lose oxygen.
** He can also use his tape as a sling by sticking one end of it to a large, heavy object, such as a rock or piece of debris, and [[EpicFlail swinging it directly at the intended target]]. He used this tactic to great effect in the provisional hero license exam. In the 2nd Movie he uses this extensively with Uraraka's help by having her float rocks, with him using his tape to send them flying at Nine.
* TheLoad: During the final exam, he gets wasted in three-seconds flat by Midnight, albeit after getting Mineta to safety, forcing Mineta to deal with her in one-on-one combat. As a result, he's the only member of a winning team to be assigned remedial training.
* NiceGuy: He's a friendly guy who gets along well with everyone. The Official Character Book gives him a 5/5 for cooperativeness.
* NoBadassToHisValet: A variation. Sero is not exactly the closest to Bakugo but he's indeed one of the few in Class 1-A that Bakugo can't seem to browbeat into submission, no matter how violent he gets or how much he threatens to kill him. In fact, [[TheGadfly Sero seems to really enjoy screwing with Bakugo's short fuse]], despite their huge power difference.
* TheNondescript: Lampshaded in the character descriptions, which straight-up call him a background character. His face also falls under this, being described by Bakugo as a "Soy Sauce Face", which is one of six stereotypical ways to draw an Asian - this one, to be specific, is flat-faced.
* OneWayVisor: Featured in his hero costume.
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: During the Forest Training Camp Arc, when Yaoyorozu says that her Quirk allows her to produce objects from the lipids in her body, Sero comments that it's like pooping. This causes her to go into a TroubledFetalPosition, which earns him a punch in the face from an angry Jiro.
* PerpetualSmiler: He's never not seen with an angular, toothy smile most of the time.
* PersonalityPowers: He is very social, friendly, and outgoing. In other words, he likes to "stick" to people.
* PervertRevengeMode: He does this on Toru's behalf when Mineta tries to use the room decoration contest to go through her underwear drawer. For the rest of the contest, Mineta's cocooned in tape and being dragged around like dead weight.
* PunnyName: "Serohantepu" is the Japanese way to pronounce "cellophane tape".
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: The only reason his powers are actually useful is because the tape he produces is much stronger and stickier than any actual cellophane, commonly known as Scotch tape.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: His chosen hero name doesn't stray too far from his real name. He himself [[LampshadeHanging lampshades this]], noting he really didn't have to think too hard on the name.
* TombstoneTeeth: His most distinctive feature is his wide, toothy smile, setting him apart from most of the other characters who instead have a ToothStrip.
* WeakButSkilled: Sero is not that great in direct combat and doesn't have much offensive potential, but he can make very good use of his Quirk by using it to capture a target, as a grappling hook to scale buildings, to move quickly through a large area using BuildingSwing-style maneuvers, or to pull someone out of the way in a dangerous situation. The Official Character Book gives him a 1/5 for power, but a 4/5 for speed and technique.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YoshimasaHosoya (Japanese), Creator/JoshGrelle (English), Jonathan Ramírez (Latin American Spanish/TV series), Creator/DanOsorio (Latin American Spanish/Movies)
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 5 (Manga), Episode 5 (Anime)
!!!'''Playable in:''' ''VideoGame/MyHeroOnesJustice'', ''My Hero One's Justice 2''
!!!'''Quirk:''' [[FightingSpirit Dark Shadow]]
->''"With your positions revealed, you're in my crosshairs. And there's no hiding from the coming storm. As Hawks would say... speed beats power."''
A reserved, serious young man with a bird-like appearance. His Quirk, "Dark Shadow", manifests as a shadowy monster that inhabits his body which he can summon to fight on his behalf. Dark Shadow's power and personality change with the amount of light: strong light makes it weaker but easier to control, while darkness drastically increases its power but makes it much wilder and violent, which puts Tokoyami at risk of losing control over his Quirk.
----
* AllEncompassingMantle:
** His hero costume features one. This is justified, as Dark Shadow is WeakenedByTheLight, so the cape keeps it in shadow.
** His newest technique, "Dark Ankh", has him use Dark Shadow as a mantle, allowing him to overcome his weakness in close quarters combat by increasing his defensive and offensive capabilities.
* AnimalMotifs: Unsurprisingly, he's associated with birds.
* BadassArmFold: This is pretty much his default posture.
* BadassBaritone: In the anime, his short stature belies a rather deep voice.
* BadassCape: Wears a billowing black one as part of his Hero attire.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: And thank goodness for that. Tokoyami would be a major villainous threat with his Quirk at night if he weren't aspiring to be a hero. [[spoiler:The League of Villains even try to kidnap him for the same reason as Bakugo in an attempt to recruit him]].
* BigDamnHeroes: During the Paranormal War Arc, [[spoiler:he swoops in and saves Hawks from being burned to death by Dabi]].
* BookDumb: Downplayed. Despite placing fifth on Aizawa's Quirk Test and third in the Sports Festival, Tokoyami has a rather subpar rank of 14th on the midterms.
* CastingAShadow: His Quirk is a LivingShadow that he can project from his body.
* {{Chuunibyou}}: He has a tendency to act like one through his gothic appearance and mystical flare. However, he subverts a lot of the negative behaviors and he is a legitimate good-hearted and talented hero. It's something of a parody, since unlike most Chuunibyou, he really ''does'' have powers and they really are dangerous and hard to control at times.
* TheComicallySerious: He has a tendency to say dramatic things about situations that don't quite deserve them, such as calling a recreational game on their school trip a "mad banquet of darkness." He even repeats it which Uraraka lampshades. His first name for his new super move is very dark and dramatic sounding, but Midnight tells him that it doesn't roll off the tongue well at all. Cementing this is how he gets angry when nobody takes his room's decor, which was very dark and spooky, seriously.
* ColdHam: He constantly tries to invoke this. When he speaks, expect Tokoyami to say something overly dramatic about the current situation:
-->'''Tokoyami:''' (about the interclass fear challenge) A mad banquet of darkness.\\
'''Uraraka:''' He said it again.
* CreepyGood: From the way he [[{{Goth}} behaves]] to his powers and his SuperPoweredEvilSide, it's easier for people to be scared of him, but he is nonetheless, a hero in training.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Darkness and shadows are traits normally associated with villains, but what we've seen of Tokoyami so far paints him as a rather valiant person.
* DarknessVonGothickname: He has a very evil-sounding, darkness-based name. "Tokoyami" literally means Eternal Darkness, and his first name contains the character for "shadow". This matches his powers and [[{{Goth}} personality]], though he's not evil.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He first appears in the third chapter fighting a 2-point robot during the entrance exam, but it's easy to completely miss him. Bonus points for actually looking like a bird.
* ElementalRockPaperScissors: He is weak against Quirks able to generate light like those possessed by [[HavingABlast Bakugo]], [[ShockAndAwe Kaminari]], and [[PlayingWithFire Todoroki]]. On one hand, he's at a disadvantage should he face them in a direct combat situation, like in the U.A. Sports Festival, but on the other, they can weaken Dark Shadow should Tokoyami lose control of it.
* EquippableAlly: Tokoyami can wear Dark Shadow over his body as "Black Ankh", augmenting his close-range combat.
* {{Foil}}:
** He acts as one to Ashido. Both are among the more visually striking members of their class, both have Quirks that are related with things not typically identified with heroism (darkness for Tokoyami, acid for Ashido), but Tokoyami is dark and serious while Ashido is vastly more energetic and easygoing.
** To Dark Shadow itself. Tokoyami is cool-headed, cooperative, and noble. Dark Shadow is either childish and sheepish, or bloodthirsty and unstable.
* {{Goth}}: If his appearance didn't already make it clear, his dorm room takes this up a step further.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He received an internship from Hawks offscreen while the story arc at the time focused on other Class 1-A students' internships. Later chapters do go into more details of Tokoyami's experience.
* HiddenDepths:
** He seems like a very dark and serious guy at first glance, but he actually has a rather strong sense of justice, is very respectful, and works well with others. He is also TheComicallySerious, as noted above. He's also not the best student, placing 14th out of the 20 students in Class 1-A grade-wise.
** He is actually a very good guitarist, and has experience with it.
--->'''Tokoyami:''' I put down the axe when I was bested by the F chord.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Not knowing about Todoroki's AbusiveParents, Tokoyami tries to encourage Todoroki by relating to his duty as the student of the #1 and #2 heroes. Todoroki ends up thinking about horrible things Endeavor did to him. He pretends to appreciate the support, [[HeroicBSOD but basically goes into a trance until Ida's enthusiasm snaps him out of it]].
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Surrenders to Bakugo in their duel during the U.A. Sports Festival, after realizing how severely Dark Shadow is WeakenedByTheLight of Bakugo's explosions.
* LongRangeFighter: He is great at keeping enemies away from him, but has trouble if the enemy manages to close in through dodging or numbers. He tries to avoid this later on by developing a new technique, Dark Ankh, where he covers himself in Dark Shadow-like armor to increase his defense and improve his capabilities in close-quarter combat.
* MeaningfulName: His first name roughly translates to "Unsavory Shadow" while his last name literally means "Eternal Darkness", both emphasizing the power and hard-to-control nature of his darkness-related Quirk.
* MultiformBalance: Depending of the surrounding light conditions, he has to sacrifice either the strength of his Quirk or his control over it. In bright light, his Dark Shadow is docile but also very weak and timid. In darkness, it's stronger but also harder to control as well. Later, he develops a technique of shrouding himself in Dark Shadow as a close-range option, trading range for improved defense.
* NiceGuy: Tokoyami may act reserved, but when he teams up with others, he becomes more sociable, helping his teammates out, reassuring his trust in them and thanking them for their effort.
* NonHumanHead: His head is bird-like in appearance, but everything else from the neck down is human. He also wears a red choker at all times, which hides his human neck to emphasize his bird head.
* NoPronunciationGuide: English-speaking viewers are likely to pronounce his first name as "Fumi-cage", but the correct pronunciation is "Fu-mi-kah-geh".
* NotQuiteFlight: His Black Fallen Angel technique that he developed as a result of his internship with Hawks. Using his Quirk's natural ability to levitate he's able to have Dark Shadow carry him in his arms and grant him the ability to fly.
* NotSoStoic:
** He does have his moments when he can't always keep his cool. When his classmates got a good look at his gothic dorm room, he's sulking and angrily yells at them to get the hell out.
** A more dramatic example: during the Forest Training Camp Arc, when Dark Shadow goes berserk, Tokoyami can be seen crying in agony from the intense duress it causes him. To boot, he has to watch as it targets his friends.
** [[spoiler:In chapter 271. He also break down crying when he holding his injured mentor Hawk, after escaping from Dabi grasp]].
* OddFriendship: With Shoji, who seemingly starts developing this from the Forest Training Camp Arc onward. Showing that a [[MultiArmedAndDangerous six armed]] GentleGiant and a {{bird|People}}-headed chuunibyou {{Goth}} really can be friends.
* PersonalityPowers: CastingAShadow -> Gothic, brooding guy implied to have a "[[http://en.dic.pixiv.net/a/Chuunibyou chuunibyou]]" complex (the "Evil Eye" type). On the other hand, given how he ''does'' have powers, it's also spoofed. Not to mention it is a legitimate power and dangerous.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: At 158 centimeters (5'2"), Tokoyami is the second shortest male in Class 1-A after the miniature Mineta, but is explicitly stated to be one of its strongest fighters.
* PowersDoTheFighting: His Dark Shadow pretty much does all the fighting for him. [[CripplingOverspecialization This leaves him rather helpless in situations where he can't rely on his shadow]], and All Might suggests he work on his own body as well.
* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: He's a dark shade of purple, and [[PurpleIsPowerful also one of the stronger heroes]] in Class 1-A. His room is also almost completely dark with the only sources of light being purple, including candles, skulls, a crystal ball, and some kind of animal's head with glowing eyes.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted. Despite these red eyes being paired with a [[CreepyCrows a dark bird-like appearance]] and [[DarkIsEvil a powerful shadow-based Quirk]], Tokoyami himself is valiant and compassionate.
* RedIsHeroic: Besides his red eyes, he also wears a red choker in honor of a pro hero he admires, Dark Crystal.
* {{Samurai}}: Present Mic actually calls him one, but whether or not he is or it's just part of his [[RuleOfCool "coolness"]] hasn't been explored. Tokoyami does have a very poetic and respectful way of speaking, would bow after defeating Yaoyorozu and Ashido, and has an ''actual sword'' in his dorm room. All of which could imply that he's either the real deal or just cool like that.
* ShoutOut: Tokoyami is a male version of ComicBook/{{Raven}}. [[BeastMan Aside from obviously looking like a raven]], Tokoyami possesses both a somewhat reserved demeanor as well as a certain [[CastingAShadow control of darkness]] that he sometimes loses, resulting in a SuperpoweredEvilSide.
* SignificantBirthDate: Tokoyami's birthday is October 30, one day before Halloween, sometimes called Devil's Night.
* TheStoic: One of the more cool-headed students of Class 1-A, and overall a no-nonsense kind of person. Then again, a bird head doesn't allow for much expression either way.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: At nighttime, Dark Shadow actively works to take control of his body, and the trade-off is an insane amount of raw power that perhaps only One For All could match.
* ToothyBird: He's got a set of human-like choppers inside his beak.
* UnskilledButStrong: His Quirk at max power can easily beat enemies that even [[TheAce Todoroki]] or [[GeniusBruiser Bakugo]] would have trouble with, and it's implied that in this state, only All Might can match him power for power. But his control over this form is very limited.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Really downplayed example, but it was his curb-stomping of Yaoyorozu in the U.A. Sports Festival that started her crippling self-confidence problems she had until the Final Exams Arc.
* VocalDissonance: He's the shortest guy (after Mineta) in Class 1-A and looks like a bird of prey, but has the deepest voice.

->''"You don't matter, insignificant bug!"''
-->'''--Dark Shadow, In the dark'''
Tokoyami's Quirk, which has a very literal mind of its own.
----
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Dark Shadow has a bird head as well.
* AxCrazy: Dark Shadow is this when fully controlling Tokoyami in complete darkness. It crushes everything within its path and enjoys the destruction.
* TheBerserker: At its zenith, Dark Shadow takes control of Tokoyami and attacks everything in sight, completely out of control and deranged.
* CatchPhrase: Dark Shadow tends to reply to Tokoyami's commands with "Aye-aye!"
* CowardlyLion: When weakened enough, it becomes fearful and shies away from violence, but still carries out Tokoyami's commands in a fight.
* DarkIsEvil: While it is not inherently evil, it becomes quite destructive when it gets out of Tokoyami's control, becoming a mass of shadows that tries to engulf him while attacking even those he considers friends.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Its name "Dark Shadow" is a quite blatant example of this.
* FirstNameBasis: Dark Shadow is the only individual who calls Tokoyami by his first name, Fumikage.
* {{Flight}}: You could be forgiven for thinking it's just weightless and just floats easily in the air by using a single leverage point, but it actually is flying. Tokoyami exploits this for his Black Fallen Angel supermove to fly himself.
* {{Foil}}: To Tokoyami himself. Tokoyami is cool-headed, cooperative, and noble. Dark Shadow is either childish and sheepish, or bloodthirsty and unstable.
* GuardianEntity: Dark Shadow is a spirit-like entity that Tokoyami can command.
* GutturalGrowler: At its largest and most powerful, Dark Shadow's voice becomes a low-pitched, menacing snarl.
* LivingShadow: Dark Shadow appears to have its own mind and personality despite being just an extension of Tokoyami's body.
* LogicalWeakness: As it's made of shadows, light reduces it.
* MoodSwinger: Its personality varies depending on its strength. Most of the time, it's a loyal and obedient companion. However, when on the receiving end of too much light, it becomes cowardly and reluctant to fight, while too much darkness causes it to be sullen and willful, which can eventually graduate to out-of-control rage if not dealt with.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Dark Shadow is given very rough pencil shading, a clear contrast to the clean lines and ink of other characters. In the anime Dark Shadow's shading is re-rendered each frame, making his more etherial form even more apparent.
* PowerIncontinence: When it gets too dark, it acts on its own, with Tokoyami taking a backseat.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Dark Shadow's SupernaturalGoldEyes become red whenever it goes berserk.
* SamusIsAGirl: Chapter 84 of ''Manga/MyHeroAcademiaSmash'' implies that this is the case, as when a villain's Quirk gives Dark Shadow a physical body, it's that of a little girl with long black hair that Mineta nicknames "Kokage".
* StringyHairedGhostGirl: It's human form in chapter 84 of ''My Hero Academia Smash!!'' is designed like this, being a small girl with long, messy black hair wearing an oversized white teeshirt.
* SummonBiggerFish: During the Training Camp arc, Dark Shadow takes over Tokoyami's body, gaining a massive power boost with the drawback of being more aggressive and feral, but he proves to be the muscle Midoriya and Shoji need to take down Moonfish, with the villain lasting all of ten seconds against him.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Dark Shadow becomes weaker when faced with light, but this also makes it easier to control for Tokoyami. His character sketch mentions that a fully weakened Dark Shadow could be beaten by a cockroach.
* YourSizeMayVary: Dark Shadow varies in size depending on how powerful it is at the moment. At its weakest, it's only the size of a hand, while at its strongest, it's big enough to tear down trees with ease.

!!!'''Quirk:''' {{Invisibility}}
->''"It's fine, isn't it? C'mon, let's have a go at it!"''
A bubbly and cheerful girl whose Quirk, "Invisibility", renders her entire body permanently invisible. She is usually seen as a set of seemingly floating clothes -- or in the case of her hero costume, just a pair of floating gloves and shoes. Because of this, she often jokes about her condition and is able to get away with states of undress no visible human could dream of trying in public.
----
* AgonyOfTheFeet: Is defeated in a single move by Todoroki in the Battle Trial due to him freezing the surfaces of the building, sticking her bare feet to the floor.
* AttackReflector: After some training, she learned to use her light manipulation abilities to reflect light-based attacks, such as Aoyama's [[EnergyWeapon Navel Laser]].[[spoiler: This is what allows her to save Izuku from Aoyama's laser in chapter 337]].
* BattleStrip: When fully nude, she can make the best use of her Quirk as an InvisibleStreaker.
* BerserkerTears: [[spoiler: When her face is finally shown in Chapter 337]].
* BigOlEyebrows: Subverted, but she is revealed to have eyelashes in the same style as Tetsutetsu's bushy and spikey eyebrows.
* BlindedByTheLight: Able to refract light inside of her and intensify it, making her capable of blinding people. This hints at a general [[LightEmUp light manipulation]] ability, with her {{invisibility}} being one of its effects. Also doubles as a VisualPun since she does it in costume: she's ''flashing'' her opponents.
* BoobsOfSteel: Though usually only visible when she's clothed she ''is'' revealed to be quite busty. In chapter 335 she's also partially revealed to have some nicely defined musculature.
* ChildLikeVoice: In Japanese, her voice is just as high and endearing as Uraraka's and Ashido's.
* CombinationAttack: Aoyama uses his super move Navel Saber, with Hagakure using her Quirk to curve the blade. It's first seen to slash through Villain Bots during training, and was developed during their work-study under Yoroi Musha.
* TheCutie: Her bubbly, cheerful, energetic personality, combined with [[GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals her love of stuffed animals]] and child-like room makes her completely adorable.
* ExposedToTheElements: Her winter costume is unchanged from her normal one, meaning she's still mostly naked. This is lampshaded by Jiro, who asks if she's cold.
* TheFaceless: For the most part, which is expected, as Hagakure is invisible all the time. One chapter of ''My Heroine Academia'' has the other girls desperately try to find a way to see what her face looks like. According to Hagakure herself, she looks like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yang_Guifei Yang Guifei]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Xavier Francis Xavier]] mashed together. This just leaves her classmates confounded even more. [[spoiler: When her face is finally revealed in Chapter 337, she is indeed cute and looks nothing like what she described to her classmates]].
* FloatingLimbs: PlayedWith, she actually does have a normal body with limbs, but due to her invisibility, her hero costume does give the impression she's just a pair of floating gloves and boots.
* FullFrontalAssault: Considering that her hero costume is pretty much just a pair of gloves and shoes, she's pretty much fighting in the nude.
* {{Gainaxing}}: She displays this when showing off her dorm room in the anime, gesturing for the other students to take a look with a ''very'' noticeable bounce.
* GenderBlenderName: "Toru" is usually a male name. Horikoshi originally conceived the character as a boy, but thought it would be cooler/funnier if they were a girl instead.
* GenkiGirl: She seems very lively for an invisible person.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: She has several in her room, including one that looks like Nezu.
* TheGlovesComeOff: When Hagakure wants to get serious with her use of invisibility, she takes off the gloves and shoes as part of her very sparse costume, rendering her fully invisible.
* HandSignals: Due to her constant invisibility, a lot of her characterization comes from all the BodyLanguage she expresses via hand gestures or signals.
* HiddenBuxom: Only "hidden" since she's invisible. The school uniforms are {{Clark Kent Outfit}}s and her hero costume renders her fully invisible, so whenever she's in casual clothing it becomes apparent that she's no stranger to the MostCommonSuperpower. She also gets a very noticeable bounce in the anime when she shows off her room wearing a casual T-shirt.
* {{Invisibility}}: Her Quirk in a nutshell is 24-hour invisibility. Both of her parents have invisibility Quirks too.
* InvisibilityWithDrawbacks: Her clothes don't turn invisible with her, so she has to go naked in order to be totally invisible and is thus ExposedToTheElements. Also, she [[PowerIncontinence can't turn her Quirk off]], so she's invisible all the time.
* InvisibleStreaker: Her Quirk doesn't affect her clothing, so she needs to constantly strip off her clothes in order for it to be useful.
* {{Irony}}: Most heroes are defined by a costume, while she's defined for almost having a total ''lack'' of one.
* LightEmUp: It was hinted at before with her BlindedByTheLight move, but following her winter internship, she has fully gained the power to manipulate light refractions.
* LogicalWeakness: Her Quirk is indeed useful when she's fully naked, but that also means she gets ExposedToTheElements. Thus, when she confronts Todoroki, his ice power made it impossible for her to walk without freezing her bare feet to the floor. Also, [[SeeTheInvisible if she makes any discernible noise and someone can hear it and/or sense it/has a Quirk to aid their senses]], they can find her even if they can't see her normally.
* MeaningfulName: "Toru" means "transparent", which is fitting since she's made transparent by her permanent invisibility. "Hagakure" means "hidden in leaves" when written as one word.
* MsFanservice: PlayedForLaughs, given she's invisible all the time, although the fact she's often in a state of undress is still used for titillation as well as humor. She also has a fairly {{buxom|IsBetter}} and curvaceous figure which has to be outlined either via her clothing or her body shape in a pool of water.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: The whole "she's naked but you can't see it in the first place" aspect of her character is played for all the comedy it can give, like her volume profile being described as "tasteful nude." [[DontExplainTheJoke It shows nothing]].
* NiceGirl: Hagakure is a bubbly, cheery, and easygoing girl that does most things with an upbeat attitude.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Gives a hilarious one to Manga Fukidashi in the Joint Training arc.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Given her normally bubbly and happy-go-lucky attitude, it's really disturbing to see her break down in anger [[spoiler: when she finds out Aoyama is a traitor]].
* OutOfFocus: She's one of the least focused on characters in Class 1-A, which is partially because she's invisible, but her character hasn't been explored like many of her classmates. Chapters 335-336 reveal that this is because [[spoiler:Horikoshi was using her as a RedHerring for TheReveal of the true traitor within class 1-A]].
* PinkMeansFeminine: Her dorm room is covered in cute things and has pink curtains, carpet, chairs, tables, and bedspread.
* PluckyComicRelief: Given her status as OutOfFocus compared to the rest of her class, she mostly exists to provide light-hearted humor.
* PowerIncontinence: If she ''could'' turn visible, odds are she would've by now. She's also never shown any concern about being stuck invisible or it having any impact on her life.
* PowerStereotypeFlip: Despite being literally invisible, she is not shy or introverted at all. In fact, one could argue she's so outgoing and unabashed ''because of'' being literally invisible.
* RedHerring: The final page of chapter 335, sets her up as [[spoiler: the UA traitor]]. Nope, [[spoiler: it's Aoyama, she is just the one who first finds out that it's him]].
* RunningGag: People blushing at just the implication that she is totally naked most of the time. The group of students she teams up with during the U.A. Sports Festival Arc provides a good example of this.
* SatelliteCharacter: Out of all the girls in the class, virtually nothing is known about Hagakure's background and her screen/panel time is just as scarce as Sato.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Often plays the Energetic Girl to Ojiro's Savvy Guy.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: The only girl in the class who doesn't mind wearing a cheerleader outfit, even after it turned out to be just a prank by Mineta and Kaminari, plus she has no problem walking around naked half the time. Of course, she's invisible, so it doesn't really matter. Amusingly, she does get embarrassed when seen "undressing" and asks [[NoPeekingRequest people to look away as she does it]], despite it only being her taking off her gloves.
* ShoutOut: Has the same alias ("Invisible Girl") and powers (invisibility) as early [[Franchise/FantasticFour Susan Storm]].
* SleepsInTheNude: During the School Trip Arc, when we see her sleeping, only her mass on the bed is invisible, meaning she sleeps with no clothes on.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her first name can be spelled "Tōru", "Tooru", or "Tohru".
* StealthExpert: Her invisibility Quirk makes her very good at sneaking around. This is lampshaded during her final exam in the anime:
-->'''Yaoyorozu:''' As expected, Hagakure is a cut above when it comes to covert activities!
* TalkingWithSigns: In the ''Two Heroes'' movie, she plays rock paper scissors with three signs depicting each move. She loses.
* TookALevelInBadass: Was something of a JokeCharacter due to the limitations of her {{Invisibility}} Quirk, but then she learns how to start to manipulate light, and under the mentorship of Yoroi Musha refined her light manipulation for both offensive and defensive uses.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Caramels are her favorite type of food.
* TheUnreveal: The first chapter of ''My Heroine Academia'' is about the girls wanting to know what Hagakure's face looks like. They try and fail with various schemes before just outright asking her, but her explanation is so contrasting that it doesn't help at all.
* VSign: A favorite of hers. Only visible in her costume though, because it has gloves, which means she is likely to use it after triumphing at something.
* WasItAllALie: On the giving end [[spoiler: towards Aoyama when she finds out he was the one feeding All-For-One information]].
* WeakButSkilled: Her ability is great for stealth, but not that good for combat. Her needing to discard clothing to make full use of her powers also means she has little to no defenses and is pretty vulnerable to getting attacked, not to mention elemental conditions. Shoto beats her simply by turning the interior of a building sub-zero, sticking her exposed soles to the ground and warning her that if she moves she could tear the skin off her feet. Nonetheless, she seems capable to hold herself in a fight, as shown in the Hero License Exam and how she was able to pass the U.A. Entrance Exam.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyoHirohashi (Japanese), Creator/BrinaPalencia (English), Creator/PaulaBarros (Latin American Spanish/TV series), Creator/IsabelMartinon (Latin American Spanish/Movies)
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 5 (Manga), Episode 5 (Anime)
!!!'''Playable in:''' ''My Hero Academia: Battle for All'', ''My Hero One's Justice 2''
!!!'''Quirk:''' [[StickySituation Pop Off]]
->''"I was wrong. Ever since coming here... and practically dying... I finally get it! Being a hero doesn't make you cool... they're heroes because they're cool!"''
A short and incredibly lewd boy whose Quirk, "Pop Off", allows him to quickly pull highly adhesive balls from his head, although pulling too many will rip off his scalp and cause bleeding. Despite getting into U.A., he doesn't feel like he'll be able to become a hero due to his odd Quirk.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: His perverted attitude in general doesn't win him the hearts of those he comes onto, with Momo Yaoyarozu being the primary target of his lust.
* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Due to being a ButtMonkey, on the rare occasions that Mineta ''does'' achieve anything, he'll suddenly develop an overinflated ego.
* AlliterativeName: '''Min'''oru '''Min'''eta.
* BizarreHumanBiology: His hair consists of adhesive balls that he can rip off and regrow very quickly.
* BlessedWithSuck: How he views his own Quirk.
* BoringButPractical: What his Quirk really falls under into. Case in point, he still managed to pass the entrance exam by trapping the robots with his balls, immobilizing them, which still counted as points. It's not flashy by any means, but they're definitely useful as traps. Too bad he's still too much of a CowardlyLion to realize his potential.
* BrilliantButLazy: His stats list him as one of the smartest kids in the class (5/5, second only to Yaoyorozu), but he got ninth place in their midterm scores, and was [[AcquiredSituationalNarcissism strangely proud]] to ''barely'' be in the top half. His idea of training for the sports festival is to hold a trophy and practice his acceptance speech.
* ButtMonkey: Of Class 1-A. Most of it is his own fault, as his perversion is [[LaserGuidedKarma repeatedly rebuffed and punished]]. Tsuyu tends to be the one who inflicts justice on him the most (Aizawa comes in second).
* CasanovaWannabe: He ''fiends'' for anything with a remotely sexy figure, though as a result he doesn't have any female friends, besides perhaps Tsuyu who seems to stick around him to try and stop his lecherous tendencies.
* CharacterDevelopment:
** During his final exam, he ends up winning against Midnight by himself when he realizes that heroes aren't cool because they're heroes, but it's the other way around, making him decide that he wants to be cooler as a hero.
** Over time, he has become more courageous and less hesitant to jump into hero duty, as well as more focused. In the first movie, he balks when the group asks him to climb up the tower and only relents when Kaminari promises him a harem if he does so; in the second movie, he joins the rest of Class 1-A in their fight against Nine without hesitating. In the Season 5 opener, he only has one small perverted moment and otherwise does a great job at keeping the bridge from falling apart and saving Mirio during the emergency drill. A few episodes later he saves Ashido from Class 1-B students, causing her to become genuinely grateful. Of course, he then intentionally bounces right into her breasts but progress is progress.
* ChildLikeVoice: A TinySchoolboy can only have a notably childish voice, and both his Japanese and English voice actresses drove that trope home. His Japanese VA gave him a high-pitched voice, while his English VA went more with a husky "young boy voiced by an adult woman" cartoon voice.
* ChivalrousPervert: As perverted as he may be, Mineta always tries his ''absolute'' best to give it his all whenever the going gets tough.
* ClassicalAntiHero: Thanks to his general unpopularity, cowardliness, perverted antics and unimpressive Quirk, he is a textbook, if not exaggerated example.
* CombinationAttack: With Ashido, they can use the combo move Grape-Pinky Combo Mineta-Bounce. Mineta lays Pop Off spheres on the ground and walls, with Ashido then throwing Mineta so he keeps bouncing from the spheres and throws more of them onto the enemy. They first use it in the Joint Training Battle against Class 1-B.
* CowardlyLion: He's the first to run away from battle, but push him into a corner and he'll give everything he's got to beat you.
* DemotedToExtra: Despite being playable in the first game of the franchise, Mineta is not present among the playable cast of ''VideoGame/MyHeroOnesJustice'', but he is still present as a VirtualPaperDoll, and characters can have him glued to their back as he did with Yaoyorozu in the U.A. Sports Festival. He is finally added to the playable roster in the sequel.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The lower half of his hero costume is meant to resemble a bowl, though it unfortunately looks like a reinforced diaper.
* DreadfulMusician: He's a terrible singer, as seen when he tries out for Class 1-A's band for the school festival.
* EveryoneHasStandards: While his are very low and he constantly attempts to peep on his female classmates, he does draw a line at attempting to grope them. The one time he did could be explained away as being waterlogged and then just not noticing since he was so happy when he heard the villains were leaving during the USJ Arc. His "target" Tsuyu may have retaliated at both examples but holds no ill will which might indicate that they were accidents.
* EyeScream:
** While in the boys' locker room, he tries to get an eyeful of the girls changing next door through a peephole and swiftly gets stabbed in the eye by one of Jiro's earphone jacks.
** Later, as punishment for bouncing into her breasts during a training exercise, Mina uses the [[Literature/AClockworkOrange Ludovico Technique]] on him.
* {{Foil}}: While Bakugo is disliked by his classmates due to his [[HairTriggerTemper nasty temper]], Mineta is disliked due to [[DirtyKid his incurable perversion]].
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Outside of [[HairTriggerTemper Bakugo]], Mineta is probably the Class 1-A student that gets this the most, mostly due to his perverted personality. He is still good friends with Midoriya and Kaminari, at least.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Throwing sticky balls may seem underwhelming as a superpower, and Mineta himself expresses doubt about its usefulness in combat, but thanks to Midoriya, he realizes that it's very useful for immobilizing enemies. By throwing a large amount of them into the water at USJ, followed by a Smash from Midoriya, a large group of villains ends up stuck together and helpless. Later on, during the final exam, he uses them to trap Midnight and successfully escape from the training grounds with Sero. Finally, his sticky balls adhere to everything except for him. Instead, they repel him with great force, allowing him to use his sticky balls as trampolines, greatly improving his movement.
* HeroicComedicSociopath: His NominalHero status is entirely PlayedForLaughs. He's a hero, but he only cares about [[EatingTheEyeCandy leering at girls]] and is overall smug and self-serving, never really caring about his classmates' feelings or how his actions may affect them. He's happy to throw them under the bus if it helps him, as evidenced by his "performance" in the U.A. Sports Festival. Were he not played for comedy this would be unsettling.
* HeroicRROD: He can't keep pulling his sticky balls out for too long or they'll start to make his skin bleed.
* HiddenDepths:
** Believe it or not, Mineta's intelligence is 5/5 (behind only Yaoyorozu) and ranks 9th in his class in terms of grades.
** He also has a high Cooperativeness stat, at 4/5. Despite being a nuisance to his classmates most of the time due to his sleaziness, he actually makes a good partner when he's working alongside someone. He helped Midoriya and Tsuyu trap the villains at USJ, came up with a practical and legal "tank" strategy in the sports festival that made his team practically invincible, used Sero's tape as a mask to protect himself from Midnight's KnockoutGas before dragging him out of the arena to safety, worked with the rest of 1-A in taking down the other schools during the provisional hero license exam, and devised a combo-move in tandem with Ashido during the joint training exercise. This all adds up to the idea that despite not thinking much of his own Quirk, as well as his cowardly nature, he's more capable than he believes he is.
** He seems to be able to make precise calculations on the fly, as demonstrated in the joint training exercise: He's able to lay out his balls in a pattern that easily allows him to bounce between them, temporarily trapping Class 1-B's team.
* HormoneAddledTeenager: Mineta is nothing ''but'' a bag of raging sexual hormones craving for satisfaction. He's rarely afraid to admit it:
-->'''Tsuyu:''' Mineta, are you thinking of something perverted right now?\\
'''Mineta:''' [[OhCrap ...Possibly?]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: Despite being openly perverted, he often criticizes others for perceived sexual behavior, even when they're misunderstandings.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: Overall, this is the goal he is pursuing as a hero (that and feeling up a woman, and as his final exam reveals, the former is almost entirely in service of the latter).
* InformedAttribute: Mineta's official intelligence stat is 5/5. However, he hasn't showcased to be sufficiently smart to justify it. While he isn't stupid and has some BrilliantButLazy moments, he has been mentally outdone by people with lower intelligence stats than him, which include ranking 9th in the midterm (below five people with 4/5 and two with 3/5).
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mineta may be a huge sleaze but he does demonstrate loyalty to his classmates. To complete the final exams, all he has to do is pass through the escape gate after incapacitating Midnight, but he took the time to drag his unconscious partner Sero with him.
* LethalJokeCharacter: His small stature, weak frame, ridiculous power set, and constant whining might make it seem like Mineta's just a useless comic relief character, but many opponents who have underestimated him have found themselves utterly defeated by his clever application of powers, and his surprising craftiness and tenacity when pushed into action. Hell, the fact that he has survived several dangerous situations against overwhelming odds and come out on top is an indicator that he's not as useless as he might initially seem.
* TheLoad: Literally during the U.A. Sports Festival. He glues himself to Yaoyorozu's back and makes her carry him until they reach the finish line, putting him in 18th place behind her.
* LovableSexManiac: He's a massive, open pervert who admits out loud that his biggest regret was not touching Yaoyorozu's boobs and gropes Tsuyu during a hug. Even his plan to get through the Obstacle Race event involves using his sticky balls to cling to Yaoyorozu's back, earning him a severe beating, but allowing him to place in the top 42. All of this is PlayedForLaughs, so he comes across as a mostly harmless annoyance rather than a really dangerous degenerate. The "lovable" part is far more debatable since barely anyone shows a particular liking towards him, both in-universe and meta.
* TheLudovicoTechnique: [[PlayedForLaughs In a humorous scene]], Mina straps him into a straitjacket and forces his eyes open with metal tools in front of a TV screen to correct his perverted behavior.
* MadeOfIron: Gets a lot of punishment done to him (mainly comical but was once hit full on by a giant 0-pointer robot)and wasn't any worse for wear. Shows again during the Provisional License Arc, where he threw so many of his balls that he was barely able to walk over and eliminate at least one other student. His Quirk doesn't have anything to do with stamina.
* MeaningfulName: Minoru means "producing fruit" like his talent and the first part of his surname [[BilingualBonus sounds a lot like the English term "mini"]] matching his size. His surname also happens to be a [[BilingualBonus Polish word for cunnilingus]].
* MySuitIsAlsoSuper: The gloves of his hero costume were made with samples of his skin cells so they wouldn't get stuck to his sticky balls.
* NoIndoorVoice: He tends to speak his perverted ideas ''out loud''. This trait quickly becomes a HoistByHisOwnPetard, as he'll announce a lecherous plan to peek on or sexually harass girls, with the intended targets standing right there to hear it.
* NominalHero: Mineta's mostly driven by his desire to be seen as cool and get girls, rather than the more altruistic motives that some of his other classmates have.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Mineta has a more cartoony design than most of his classmates, almost to the point of resembling a character from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. He's also the only male student in Class 1-A who does not have a HeroicBuild. [[BreakingTheFourthWall He even specifically gripes about his character design]] when preparing for the School Festival as his short stature prevents him from properly holding a guitar.
* OddFriendship: Early on at least, Mineta seems to show a strong admiration for Shoji and the two team up during the Sports Festival. Shoji also keeps Mineta from getting swept away by a blast of wind in the same arc.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He looks like a small child despite being the same age as his classmates (15).
* ThePeepingTom: He tries to use a peephole to peek in the girls' locker room, and gets [[EyeScream one of Jiro's earphone jacks in his eye]] for his troubles. He attempts it again [[OutdoorBathPeeping in the baths]] during the class trip, with similarly limited success.
* PersonalityPowers: His Quirk can be considered a big accidental innuendo. Thus, it's not surprising that he is a gigantic pervert.
* PervertedDrooling: His very own {{Character Tic|s}} along with his typical depraved expressions whenever he hears or sees anything even remotely sexual.
* PluckyComicRelief: Literally, as his Quirk actually involves plucking.
* RequiredSecondaryPower: Mineta doesn't stick to his own sticky balls and can, in fact, repel off of them with great speed. Otherwise he'd never be able to use them after pulling them off his scalp.
* SkewedPriorities: During the practical exam, when his partner Sero is KO'd by Midnight's KnockoutGas, all Mineta can think about is how jealous he is that Sero's head is in Midnight's lap. To his credit, he does eventually pull himself together and figure out a strategy to pass the exam.
* SmarterThanYouLook: Between his lewdness and overall cowardice, it's surprising to know he's at least ranked in the top half of his class in grades, and the databook actually gives him an A in intelligence, ahead of the likes of [[NerdActionHero Midoriya]], [[GeniusBruiser Bakugo]], and [[ClassRepresentative Ida]] and behind only [[TheAce Yaoyorozu]]. Kaminari and Ashido are positively mortified when they find out.
* SpeechImpediment: He has a noticeable lisp in the dub.
* StickySituation: His Quirk is pulling sticky balls off of himself and sticking it to objects. As long as he's still healthy, they'll stay on for a whole day.
* TinySchoolboy: Standing at just 108 cm (3'6''), he is shorter than MiniatureSeniorCitizens Gran Torino (128 cm) and Recovery Girl (115 cm), and even 6-year-old Eri (110 cm).
* UnscrupulousHero: He does want to be a hero, but his reasons are largely selfish, as he just wants girls to like him and be popular. He does this by lecherously watching the girls undress or watching them bathing.
* VocalDissonance: In the English dub, his voice sounds perfectly normal for a teenage boy even though he looks like a small child.
* WallCrawl: He can swiftly scale a wall using his sticky balls as handholds, and did so once to get to the other side of a hot spring where his female classmates were having some private time.
* WithCatlikeTread: Upon discovering a peephole to the girls' locker room, he discusses peeping on his female classmates. Very loudly. He gets one of Jiro's earphone jacks in his eye very quickly.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His mohawk is [[HairColorDissonance mostly purple]], going with his grape theme.

!!!'''Playable in:''' ''My Hero Academia: Battle for All'', ''VideoGame/MyHeroOnesJustice'', ''My Hero One's Justice 2''
!!!'''Quirk:''' [[MatterReplicator Creation]]
->''"We've got to start at the bottom and work up! And if we don't earnestly cheer each other on... we'll never be top heroes!"''
Class 1-A's vice president. Smart, studious but also kind and gentle, Momo hails from an extremely wealthy family and was enrolled through recommendations like Todoroki. Her Quirk, "Creation", allows her to create any inorganic object out of her body, as long as she knows its atomic composition. Despite her versatile Quirk and considerable intelligence, she struggles with low self-esteem due to the high expectations put upon her.
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: The top of her hero costume is a shirt with a cut low enough to reach her midriff.
* TheAce: Momo is one of four students recommended to enroll in U.A., the others being Todoroki, Tokage, and Honenuki. She comes from a patrician family and is pretty and intelligent. She is the vice president of Class 1-A and also received the highest grades in the mid-term exams as well as in the Provisional Hero License Exam.
* AdaptationExpansion: Her fight with Tokoyami at the U.A. Sports Festival was just a single panel in the manga, and was part of Midoriya explaining the fights. It wouldn't be until much later that we see how much her loss affected her mental state. The anime, on the other hand, shows the fight in earnest while also focusing on how overwhelmed and nervous Yaoyorozu was during it. In Season 3, how she passed the first stage of the Provisional Hero License Exam is shown, whereas in the manga, she and her group just met up with Todoroki after he passed.
* AffectionateNickname: A few of her classmates nickname her "Yaomomo", as a portmanteau of her family and given names. In the English translation of the manga, it's flipped around to western order as "Momo Yao".
* AllEncompassingMantle: Her winter costume features a long dark cloak on top of her normal one, presumably to prevent ExposedToTheElements.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: When comparing herself to Todoroki, she considers him this. The Final Exams Arc reveals that this is mutual, although both recognize that Todoroki is the more powerful one, he thinks that she is a far better leader and strategist than him.
* AnimeHair: Her Hero hairstyle is a very tricked-out ponytail that resembles a crest. When she lets her hair down, however, it looks completely realistic.
* BadassAdorable: The most fearsome female student of Class 1-A is also a kind and beautiful ray of sunshine, whose bright and enthusiastic smile when wanting to help people infectiously warms the hearts of everyone around her.
* BadassBookworm: Has the highest grades in the class, as well as rivaling Midoriya in assessing and analyzing battles. She also carries an ''actual'' book with her as part of her hero regalia. It's a dictionary (The Yaoyopedia) with a comprehensive description of all raw materials that might come in handy in the field because she needs a strong mental grasp of how to replicate these materials for it to work properly.
* BareYourMidriff: This is largely justified due to how Yaoyorozu's power works. Any object she generates comes directly from her body, meaning she needs a large enough area of bare skin to pull the object out of. She can (and does) generate smaller items out of her hands or side, but large objects have to be created out of areas like the midriff or back, and generally having as much skin exposed as possible is an advantage. As a result, unlike many other costumes, her costume leaves a much larger percentage of her skin. She also unzipped her tracksuit during the U.A. Sports Festival to reveal a sports bra that gave her access to her midriff.
* BigEater: Her classmates are shocked to see their {{Ojou}} vice president devouring food at training camp. As she explains, however, this is justified since her powers are CastFromCalories. She eats a lot in order to have a large store of matter to draw from when she creates objects.
* BigFancyHouse: Her first reaction when she invites some students over to her house to study is that she'll have to ask her mother to open up the hall. When her classmates do arrive at her house, they're stunned as the front gate of her estate runs the entire street:
-->'''Ashido:''' I knew she was rich, but I didn't know she was ''that'' rich!
* BoobsOfSteel: The toughest girl in Class 1-A. Naturally, she's also the bustiest. Her Quirk actually directly draws from her fat deposits, so her large breasts may actually be a cross between MostCommonSuperpower and RequiredSecondaryPowers given that her body is otherwise quite lean, although this is never directly discussed.
* BookSmart: She has the best grades in Class 1-A by a long shot, to the point that a quarter of her class comes to her for tutoring. This also ties into her usage of her [[ThePowerOfCreation Quirk]], which requires her to [[DifficultButAwesome understand and memorize the exact formula of whatever object she's creating]]. However, her abilities as TheStrategist are rivaled or surpassed by her classmates, Midoriya and Bakugo, whose grades are fourth and third in the class respectively.
* BrokenAce: Thanks to losing to Tokoyami before she could fight back in the U.A. Sports Festival, not being able to assert her ideas during the cavalry battle and exams, and to add insult to injury, finding out that the pro heroine who handpicked her for an internship pretty much only did so because of her looks, her confidence takes a ''nosedive''. She recovers it after figuring out a way to beat Aizawa.
* BrutalHonesty: Points out all the flaws in the first Heroes vs. Villains match and how it could've gone if the teams used their powers more effectively, and only praises Ida, the only one who did his part well. Freaked out by her lack of tact and the effect it has on the class of causing a ''very'' awkward silence to ensue, All Might silently thinks to himself that she was being a little ''too'' honest.
* CastFromCalories: Lipids, technically, but the effect is pretty much the same. Her Quirk uses them as raw materials, and being a BigEater is the easiest way she can replenish them. She can tire herself out if she uses too much of them.
* CharacterTics: Occasionally covers her chest with her arm while in her hero costume.
* ChildProdigy: She was able to use her Quirk as a child, meaning she could understand and memorize the molecular makeup of the different objects she created, starting with Russian matryoshka dolls.
* ClassRepresentative: The vice president of Class 1-A, below Ida, and a polished and straight-laced young lady. As she lampshades in the second OVA, her job is [[WackyHomeroom much harder than it should be]].
* CrazyPrepared: She learned how to create any and everything that might come in handy in her job as a heroine, which included flashbangs, tracking devices, several different types of melee weapons, gas masks, and anti-electricity capes.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Yaoyorozu's characterization in the manga and the ''Smash!!'' comics is notably different in a few aspects. In the manga, her self-esteem issues are based on a variety of reasons and is expressed as a generalized feeling of anxiety, but in the ''Smash!!'' comics, she is particularly ashamed and afraid of being a CuteClumsyGirl and has focused on correcting the "clumsy" aspect of her personality.
* DifficultButAwesome: Her Creation Quirk is very useful and versatile, but a RequiredSecondaryPower is that she needs to actually know the chemical composition of the things she's creating in order to make them. Fortunately, she's very intelligent (with the highest grades in the class) and carries an encyclopedia-like book around with her should she need to look up materials.
* DistaffCounterpart: She is the Ida among the girls: always quick to encourage proper behavior, but gets carried away with it all too often. Fittingly, she skirts closer to TeamMom, as she tends to be more nurturing and inclusive. Both also come from wealthy backgrounds, but neither choose to flaunt it in a negative sense.
* EatingSolvesEverything: Since her Quirk involves creating objects base on how much she had eaten, she always makes sure to have eaten enough to make a solution for even the toughest of problems.
* EndearinglyDorky: Momo is a NiceGirl who tries to be as mature and serious as possible but still can get easily excited and be somewhat awkward and goofy.
* ExtremeDoormat: For a while, she had trouble voicing her own ideas and plans, usually going along with others. However, during the Final Exams Arc, she gets better.
* FatalFlaw: Her indecisiveness and low self-esteem were holding her back, especially as she used to compare herself with Todoroki a lot. Later on, she rebuilds her confidence and makes choices and plans on her own.
* FishOutOfWater: She's filthy rich, but she often ''forgets'' that her fellow classmates don't have things such as butlers or giant fluffy master beds.
* FriendlyRivalry: Formed one with Kendo during the Joint Training Arc. Kendo was disheartened over the fact she and Yaoyorozu were treated as a package deal despite feeling Yaoyorozu got better grades and had a better Quirk, and revealed she desired to face off with Yaoyorozu, something Yaoyorozu was happy to oblige with. It helps that outside of training, the two have gotten along swimmingly thanks to their joint internship under Uwabami.
* GoGetterGirl: Is focused on academic studies and becoming a heroine, which shows in her class grades and rank, but falls into HeroicSelfDeprecation at times.
* GreatBigBookOfEverything: One of her support items is a dictionary called "the Yaoyorictionary" (or in some translations, "the Yaoyopedia"). It contains comprehensive descriptions of what is needed to make every single item that she needs.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: She's prone to insecurity regarding her intelligence and skills as a heroine. After Tokoyami easily defeats her, she slides into [[HerOwnWorstEnemy doubting herself entirely]] until Todoroki [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speaks out and gives her a much-needed pep talk]].
* HiddenBuxom: {{Zigzagg|ingTrope}}ed. In her school uniform and day-to-day clothing (which leans towards pretty and graceful, rather than provocative), it's not quite evident how well-endowed she is. But as her hero costume and appearance in a bikini in the anime reveal, she is ''stacked''.
* HighHeelPower: She wears high heels as part of her hero costume plus she's one of the top students academically, has a powerful Quirk, and possesses amazing leadership skills.
* HumbleHero: Zigzagged. She honestly wants to be a heroine for good, but is completely oblivious when socializing with those on the lower spectrum of the economy class, so she tends to come across as InnocentlyInsensitive towards her friends. Interestingly, this is considered an endearing point of hers for them.
* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: She can create anything from her body -- from mundane things like Russian dolls to weapons as powerful as cannons. The downsides are that she has to know the exact molecular makeup of whatever she's creating and that her power is limited by her food intake.
* ImprobableHairstyle: How does her ponytail stay up like that?
* TheIndecisive: Of the insecure type. Losing to Tokoyami in the Sports Festival arc caused her to lose confidence in herself and constantly compare herself with TheAce Todoroki. Fast forward to the practical exam where she's paired up with him, and she's just following his plan hesitantly, unsure of its effectiveness. When Mr. Aizawa has Todoroki tied up and hanging in the air, she internally [[FreakOut freaks out]] over whether she should save him or just stick to ''his'' plan and keep running. She's able to regain her confidence, make her ''own'' decisions, and come up with a successful strategy, [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre after receiving encouragement from Todoroki]].
-->'''Yaoyorozu:''' ''[having an inner conflict]'' Is Todoroki all right? Is this okay? Should I make something to help me go faster at the expense of time? ''Is this okay''? Will I be able to get out like this? Where am I running? No... why? '''Is this... ''really'' okay'''?
* InnocentlyInsensitive: In an endearing way, Yaoyorozu tends to forget that status-wise, she's much wealthier than her classmates, not because she feels that she's above them, but because she's naive about their differing lifestyles. So she'll do things like casually talking about her mansion and expensive tea brands while being oblivious to how baffled her friends are. However, she's so sweet that her classmates find her too adorable to be mad at her.
* InSeriesNickname: Yaomomo, mostly used by Jiro and the other girls in the class.
* {{Keigo}}: Whether she's addressing elders, or her peers, Yaoyorozu speaks in a formal, dignified manner in her Japanese dialogue, never using casual phrases. It's noteworthy that she's the only girl who uses the "-san" honorific to address boys.
* LadyOfWar: A sophisticated, graceful {{ojou}} who shows great expertise in wielding the different weapons she generates from her [[SpontaneousWeaponCreation Quirk]], especially [[SimpleStaff staffs]]. Even in very dangerous situations, despite her young age, she remains calm and analytical enough to devise innovative strategies.
* TheLeader: Yaoyorozu has notable leadership skills for her age. She's capable of understanding a situation quickly and formulate a plan fast. Midnight praises her and says she will be a great leader one day. She often becomes the leader of the class whenever Midoriya isn't around. [[spoiler:She also needs to lead a group of interns from 1-A and 1-B into halting Gigantomachia]].
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijg28rq_LuU&index=52&list=PLEQjOG7DtEQHzWS2q4btHlyc3DbN_U7iK "Momo Yaoyorozu"]], which is a sophisticated and sweet piece that is led by a violin.
* LeotardOfPower: Her hero costume is essentially a rather revealing one-piece.
* LogicalWeakness: Not only can she not create things she doesn't know how to create down to the atomic level, but she also needs time to both make and use her items. Tokoyami defeats her in the Sports Festival by having Dark Shadow attack her continuously, giving her no time to think or go on the offensive herself. Even then, excess use can drain her to exhaustion as she still needs lipids for herself.
* LongHairIsFeminine: She has long black hair usually tied in a ponytail, and is a refined, polite girl from an extremely wealthy family.
* MatterReplicator: Her Quirk allows her to come up with any object out of her body save for living matter, though larger objects take more time and cause ClothingDamage. The material is transmuted from her body fat.
* MeaningfulName: "Yaoyorozu" is a traditional word that means "eight million" or, more appropriately, a really high number. This relates to the amount of stuff she can create with her Quirk and to [[WealthsInAName her financial position]].
* MiseryTrigger: Yaoyorozu's Quirk allows her to make just about anything depending on how much mass it requires and how much food she's eaten. As she herself puts it, the more she eats, the more she makes. When Sero compares this to poop, Yaoyorozu becomes instantly depressed.
* MostCommonSuperPower: Certainly a future heroine, who is also very busty for her age. This is possibly justified based on how her Quirk works: She creates things from her own body fat. Bigger breasts means more fat reserves, more fat reserves means more to work with.
* MsFanservice: The lower part of her hero costume consist of two utility belts and a top that [[AbsoluteCleavage boldly displays her cleavage]]. Given that her Quirk requires exposed skin to produce objects, there is at least some practical justification for this.
* NeverGetsFat: She has the ability to make just about anything out of her body fat, so whatever weight she puts on through eating is quickly turned into various items she uses while being a hero in training. In fact, she has to go out of her way to make sure she's eating extra to make up for all the extra calories she burns.
* NiceGirl: Although she can come off as a little stern and condescending due to her upbringing, she has nothing but the best interests at heart and radiates sweetness when she's in a good mood, leaving her surrounded by "bounciness" [=SFX=] during such times.
* NiceShoes: Her hero costume comes with some imposingly tall candy apple red go-go boots.
* NoConservationOfEnergy: Downplayed. Creating things is explicitly said to use her own body fat and is limited by her food intake, but the amount of stuff she's able to create at once still far exceeds what should be possible (such as during the U.A. Sports Festival, she pulls an entire cannon out of herself), especially considering her relatively slender frame.
* NotSoAboveItAll:
** In a deleted panel from the manga that is included in the volume extras and anime, she was ''[[ThrowTheDogABone hyper]]'' overjoyed when she was asked to host a study session at her house. She then proceeded to obliviously brag about the perks of her posh accommodations, without realizing she just insulted everybody who's working class.
** Despite the seriousness of the situation, during the Hideout Raid Arc, when the team needs disguises, they purchase them from a store. When it's pointed out that Yaoyorozu could've just made them herself, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial she stammers and tries to play it off as supporting the local economy]], despite it being pretty obvious that she was excited about visiting said store.
* NumberTwo: She is the vice president of Class 1-A behind Ida. In an unofficial way, she is also this to Midoriya. In most given situations, Class 1-A looks at Midoriya for guidance. If he is not around, the one to take the role of TheLeader will often be her.
* OddFriendship: She becomes Jiro's close friend as time goes. Jiro being the most outspoken tomboyish and snarkiest girl in the group, while Yaoyorozu is a pinnacle of delicacy and politeness.
* {{Ojou}}: A polite and well-mannered girl from a very rich family. Her insane wealth has become something of a RunningGag.
* ThePowerOfCreation: Her Quirk can create any non-living object she wants so long as she knows the exact molecular formula of said object.
* RedOniBlueOni: In opposition to their color schemes, she plays the Blue Oni to Jiro's Red in both the USJ and the filler episode 55: calm, poised and calculating.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Her Quirk, Creation, makes it necessary for her to know the molecular composition of the non-living object she intends to create, hence why she often carries a book on her with such information. It also draws from her fat deposits to work, though her physique is shown to be quite lean except for one [[BoobsOfSteel noticeable exception]].
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: She's so used to her luxurious accommodations that she doesn't realize how badly she accidentally insults her working-class classmates when she talks about how many resources she has at her disposal nor does she notice how uncomfortable and out of place they feel in her incredibly large and fancy house. Her mother also forbids her from attending public festivals known for selling sweets and street food, as her family's personal cooks could make better, less sickening desserts.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: PlayedWith. Her Quirk requires exposed skin, so her hero costume is [[{{Stripperiffic}} very skimpy]], to begin with, and she has a pretty significant problem with ClothingDamage when creating larger objects. She doesn't seem to worry about exposing herself at all for practical purposes, such as when Jiro embarrassingly points out to Yaoyorozu that her plan destroyed her entire top, the latter is unfazed and simply states that she'll make a new one. Even male classmates being around doesn't cause her to hesitate at all, as she pulls open her top in front of Todoroki without warning him in order to allow for more space in creating alloy fibers, and in the anime adaptation, she all but flashes an embarrassed Shoji when she needs more space to work with. However, she [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl doesn't appreciate being manipulated into things like this for non-practical purposes]], as seen with Mineta and Kaminari's plot to trick the girls into wearing cheerleader outfits during the U.A. Sports Festival halftime, even though her hero costume shows more skin than the cheerleader outfits.
* ShesGotLegs: There's definitely some big and tall legs on Yaoyorozu, which is made even more apparent when she wears her hero costume's equally big and tall boots. Horikoshi even [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CEqdG5LVAAAHnHP.jpg:large drew her]] with her bare legs and feet on full display on his Twitter account for the release of Chapter 41.
* SimpleStaff: She frequently wields these in combat situations, as seen in the [=USJ=] and U.A. Sports Festival Arcs. This is justified since they're simple and easy to make.
* SkilledButNaive: Aizawa notes that while she's very gifted, in terms of mental/emotional maturity, she's still a 15-year-old girl who easily gets overwhelmed in times of crisis. She matures a little bit after Todoroki boosts her morale by professing his faith in her abilities after she suffers a lapse in confidence. During the Forest Training Camp Arc, she manages to make a tracker to hunt down a Nomu with, and All Might praises her for her quick thinking and ability to make snap decisions.
* SolidGoldPoop: It's heavily implied that she provided the three gold bars for the Christmas party's mystery gift swap.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her hero name is "Creati", not "Creaty".
* SpoiledSweet: She is the wealthiest student in her class, but she never flaunts her money or acts snobby -- willingly, that is. She's prone to accidental insults, and she's so used to being able to casually spend large amounts of money that she forgets her friends can't do the same. Nevertheless, she still is a genuinely kind and sweet girl, who willingly opens her home to her classmates who need to study for finals, and always looks out for the others on the battlefield.
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: She has the ability to generate any type of non-living matter from her body, and she uses it to create weapons and other equipment for her friends.
* SquishyWizard: She can create just about any kind of object she wishes, but depending on the object, it takes time to make them. So she needs others to hold off the enemy while she creates the materials she needs. While her creations can do a lot of damage (like when she makes an entire cannon) and is possibly the most versatile Quirk of any character, in terms of direct physical prowess she's as normal as anyone else, as demonstrated in her fight with Kendo.
* StatuesqueStunner: Yaoyorozu stands tall at 173 cm (roughly a little over [=5'8''=], and elevated to roughly [=5'9''=] in her hero costume's boots), towering over all the girls in her class and even several of the boys. It also helps her stand out as the vice president of the class and the most matured, demure and refined girl out of the bunch.
* TheStrategist: Combine TheAce with TeenGenius and this is the result; Yaoyorozu's quick thinking and considerable intelligence give her the potential to be a great strategist.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: {{Justified|Trope}}. Because Yaoyorozu needs her skin exposed to have free access to her Quirk, her outfits are revealing for practical reasons. She comes dangerously close to this prospect but manages to stay within the [[StealthPun bare]] limits of wholesome. While wearing her gym clothes, she'll often unzip her jacket to reveal a sports bra for a similar level of effectiveness with significantly less exposure. She also tends to be fairly prone to ClothingDamage.
* SuperpowerLottery: Definitely a winner. She was born with one of the stronger Quirks in the series, as the ability to make literally any object or weapon she wants essentially gives her unmatched creative potential even compared to most pro-heroes; ''All For One himself'' is probably the only person with more versatility than her. Still, her work-ethic is not to be discredited. She has to know the exact molecular structure of anything she wants to create, which requires an encyclopedic knowledge of a wide variety of things and took years of studying to master.
* ThisBananaIsArmed: During the Final Exam against Mr. Aizawa, she constantly produces Russian nesting dolls as an indicator if he's present, since she would stop producing them. When Aizawa does appear, she throws the dolls she made at him, most of which had flash grenades hidden inside.
* TearsOfJoy: She cries after she passes the practical exam with Todoroki, especially after he thanks her for developing the effective strategy that allowed them to win against Mr. Aizawa.
* TeenGenius: A justified example as Yaoyorozu's Quirk requires her to know the exact molecular formula of any object she wants to create, so she needs to have great memory and analysis skills. This is made obvious as she has the highest grades of the entire Class of 1-A and according to her stats in the Official Character Book, she has an Intelligence Ranking of 6/5 or S.[[note]]This puts her in the same intelligence bracket as [[BigGood All Might]], [[SuperIntelligence Nezu]] and [[BigBad All For One]].[[/note]]
* TokenRichStudent: While other students like Ida and Todoroki are also mentioned to be fairly well-off, she unknowingly flaunts her wealth in front of her working-class classmates as a RunningGag. She has a fabulous BigFancyHouse, goes on vacations to Europe, brings a too-large four-poster bed to a Japanese dorm because she didn't know it wouldn't fit, and is excited at the prospect of thrift shopping because she's never done it before. However, she's so sweet about it that her classmates don't mind.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Kyoka Jiro is a [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] rock musician with BoyishShortHair. Momo Yaoyorozu is a sweet YamatoNadeshiko with {{long hair|IsFeminine}}.
* TookALevelInBadass: Her usage of Creation initially starts with basic melee items like poles and shields as well as some utility items, then over the course of the series, begins to make more advanced creations of the mechanical kind like cannons and gas masks, and takes a step up further with electronics like GPS bugs and trackers as well as heat-detecting headsets that can lock onto things.
* {{Tritagonist}}: Yaoyorozu often takes this role when she tags along with people like Todoroki and Midoriya, acting as the strategist of the group who keeps everybody composed and stops them from making rash decisions.
* UnclePennybags: She's very happy to open her home to her classmates when they ask her for study tips, going so far as to ask what kinds of tea they would prefer and bringing what are clearly very expensive sweets to her study hall for them to enjoy.
* UtilityBelt: Wears a thick yellow one as part of her suit.
* VaporWear: Her hero costume clearly has very little bust support, being a LeotardOfPower with AbsoluteCleavage.
* VocalDissonance: In the English dub, she sounds like a grown woman rather than a 15-year-old girl.
* WellTrainedButInexperienced: Momo Yaoyorozu got into U.A. on recommendation, coming from a rich family and possessing a Quirk - "Creation" - that she had spent hours studying for in its use. While she is an incredibly intelligent member of the class and has used her Quirk to great effectiveness when as part of a group, she has difficulty when forced to stand on her own, a problem that has given her reserves of self-doubt as she continues to lose fights as the series progresses. Recognizing this, Aizawa pairs her up with Shoto Todoroki (who also relies too much on his Quirk to carry him) against himself.
* YamatoNadeshiko: While she is a MsFanservice in a {{Stripperiffic}} LeotardOfPower, otherwise, she hits many of the qualifications, especially out of costume. She is a kind, polite and selfless young lady, beautiful with long black hair and fair skin, acts calm and demure, takes the TeamMom role towards her classmates, and proves to be a tough LadyOfWar.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Like Ida, she has a very mature physique for a 15-year-old. This actually comes in handy when they disguise themselves when rescuing Bakugo because she looks much older as a result.
