History Characters / MyHeroAcademiaClass1A11To20

** His hero costume features one. This is justified, as Dark Shadow is WeakenedByTheLight, so the cape keeps it in shadow. He uses this to better effect when utilizing Ragnarok, as he uses the cape to shroud Dark Shadow in darkness so he can let off a massive attack at much higher power.
** 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.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her first name can be spelled "Kyoka", "Kyouka", or "Kyōka", while her last name can be spelled "Jiro", "Jirou", or "Jirō".

** [[spoiler:In chapter 271. He also break down crying when he holding his injured mentor Hawk, after escaping from Dabi's 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.

* CatchPhrase: Dark Shadow tends to reply to Tokoyami's commands with "Aye-aye!"

* 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.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her first name can be spelled "Tōru", "Tooru", or "Tohru".

* 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.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her hero name is "Creati", but the {{eyecatch}} of the sixth season of the anime spells it as "Creaty".

* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler: Kyoka, along with the rest of the heroes, were seen as nothing but "jobber characters" by [[BigBad All For One]]; saying that there aren't impressive and genuinely believing that they couldn't defeat him. Kyoka's response was to yell at All For One that she doesn't care what he thinks and launches a powerful soundblast that weakened All For One enough for Fumikage to destroy his mask. Her defiance against All For One also inspired the vestiges inside the villain to rebel against him, much to his [[ThisCannotBe disbelief]]. Due to the vestiges' rebellion, he was unable to properly use his Quirks, resulting in him getting brutally burned alive by a furious Endeavor.]]

* LivingShadow: Dark Shadow appears to have its own mind and personality despite being just an extension of Tokoyami's body.

* GutturalGrowler: At its largest and most powerful, Dark Shadow's voice becomes a low-pitched, menacing snarl.

** [[spoiler:He has become much braver by the final arc. Earlier he used to wet himself at the mere thought of facing off real villains, but once Midoriya dropped out of UA, he volunteered along with the rest of the class 1-A to bring him back, knowing full well that he is being directly targeted by [[TheDreaded Shigaraki and All For One]] and the hero society has more or less collapsed.]]

** 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 is [[NakedFreakOut more embarrassed by Yaoyorozu's skin exposure]] than the one actually exposed.

** After being tricked into wearing cheerleader uniforms, [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl Jiro's visibly pouting]] and sitting out whereas the other Class 1-A girls try to have fun in spite of it.

* 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.

* ShoutOut: Has the same alias ("Invisible Girl") and powers (invisibility) as early [[Franchise/FantasticFour Susan Storm]].

* BuildingSwing: A practical use of his Quirk, just like Franchise/SpiderMan.

* PowerIncontinence: If she ''could'' turn visible, she would've by now, but she can't. She's also never shown any concern about being stuck invisible or it having any impact on her life. [[spoiler:It's ambiguous if this is because great emotional distress can cause her to become visible for a short moment, as shown by her reaction to Aoyama's treachery, if manipulating such a massive source of light as his navel laser briefly outlined her features, or if the panel showing her face was purely for the sake of the readers seeing her expression. Chapter 400 has her Quirk glitch out after reflecting Aoyama's Navel Laser much more than usual, causing her to turn invisible much to her horror.]]

* AnimeHair: When her full design is shown visible and in-color on the cover of Chapter 368, Toru is shown to have a {{shaggy|Hair}}, [[Manga/{{Berserk}} Post-Eclipse Casca-esque]] hairdo, being a messy mop of light green with pink tips. Appropriate, since styling invisible hair would not only be difficult, but also pointless since no one would be able to see her hair anyway.

* BoobsOfSteel: The toughest girl in Class 1-A. Naturally, she's also the bustiest.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Shoji lived in a small rural town where he was actively harassed for his mutated appearance. After saving a young girl from a flash-flood, he was further accosted and recieved scars across his face from someone striking him with a rake. Despite receiving scars on his face from the people in his hometown who [[FantasticRacism hated and feared him for his Heteromorph quirk]], Shoji holds little to no malice within him; simply choosing to focus on the fact that he was able to save someone with his Quirk and hides his old scars behind a mask precisely so that he may one day be recognised as a cool mutant hero by the masses and inspire more children to move past their prejudice of mutant-type Quirks]], and to remove any inkling that he took up being a hero with a vindictive heart guiding his actions4.

* {{Foil}}: To Spinner and his heteromorph army. [[spoiler: Both are Animal Themed Superbeings and have suffered some form of prejudice because of their animal features. The key difference being that Shoji is able to move past the hurt and use it in a positive way to inspire others, Spinner became a bitter shut in who was only able to return to society after absorbing Stain's ideology, and thus inspires others through shared rough experiences and inciting rage. The way they inspire others differs, as Shoji wants to be an inspiring hero and makes and impassioned speech that they will solve nothing through blind rage, whereas Spinner continues to actively encourage his new followers to use their rage to push through; believing that only violence will help them and due to [[DealWithTheDevil accepting new Quirks from All For One, lost his sanity in the process]].]]

* {{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.

* {{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.

* {{Foil}}: While Bakugo is disliked by his classmates due to his [[HairTriggerTemper nasty temper]], Mineta is disliked due to [[DirtyKid his incurable perversion]].

* {{Foil}}: Surprisingly, she is one to Bakugo in many ways.
** They are both extremely talented kids who have their own insecurities, which come into display after losing to one of their classmates. But the way it affects them and how they get over it is completely different: Bakugo's inferiority complex got worse after he lost to Midoriya in the training exercise and he lashes out at everyone and swears that this’ll be the last time he would lose. Yaoyorozu's confidence takes a nosedive after losing to Tokoyami, fairly easily at that, in the sports festival. She becomes extremely meek and underconfident as a result and keeps praising Todoroki's abilities and talents, seeing him as a superior student, as he too, like her, got into UA by recommendation.
** After this, they both had an encounter with Todoroki, but it had wildly different outcomes. Bakugo wanted to beat Todoroki at his best to prove his worth, but due to his emotional and mental issues, Todoroki held back in their match in the sports festival, while Bakugo gave his 100%, resulting in an accidental victory, which Bakugo wears as a MedalOfDishonor. On the other hand, Todoroki's encouragement towards Yaoyorozu's leadership abilities and the revelation that he was the one student who voted for her in the ClassRepresentative election helped her realise that she is selling herself short and her confidence was restored after her plan to defeat Aizawa sensei and passing their final exam worked.
** Prior to that, they were both spoiled by others due to their talents. Bakugo was a brash SpoiledBrat {{jerkass}} who gleefully pointed out how others are inferior to him, Yaoyorozu is SpoiledSweet who is InnocentlyInsensitive to others (funnily enough, this is exactly how Horikoshi intended to write Bakugo originally, before changing his mind).
** Their attitudes towards Todoroki is also similar but ultimately different. They both see him as TheAce, but Yaoyorozu looks up to him, while Bakugo sees him as a rival whom he has to defeat.
** They both agreed to help their fellow underachieving clasmates during their exams. While Momo agreed to hold group study sessions out of kindness and she treated them all to great food and tea in her mansion, Bakugo agreed to help Kirishima after he manipulated him into doing so and tutored him in public places while angrily yelling at him and hitting him when he gets anything wrong.
** They are both not fond of one of their classmates in particular: in Momo’s case, it is Mineta, who is a pervert and an AbhorrentAdmirer who keeps on trying to sexually harass her. In Bakugo's case, it is Midoriya, whom he hates due to his own inferiority complex and he believes the boy looks down at him. Even when he realises that it was the [[HeroWorshipper other way around]], he still doesn't like him much due to his constant fanboying nature, especially because he has a HairTriggerTemper, but Midoriya keeps praising him, he also gets creeped out by his fanboying of himself during their internship with Endeavor and threatened to get a restraining order against him.
