-->'''Voiced by:''' Kosuke Kuwano (Japanese), Creator/JoelMcDonald (English)
[[quoteright:209:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yuuga_aoyama_full_body_uniform.png]]
A vain, eccentric young man Midoriya first meets during U.A's entrance exam. He thinks very highly of his Quirk, "Navel Laser", which allows him to fire laser beams from his belly button.
----
* AttentionWhore: After the battle against the Villain Alliance, he made a big deal about the mystery of his whereabouts during the incident (no one actually seemed to care).
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He mostly provides comic relief and his Quirk is very ridiculous-looking, but the ability to fire laser beams still makes him pretty powerful. He also has moments showing surprising awareness.
* BigDamnHeroes: After spending most of the School Trip Arc hiding in fear, he delivers an attack that saves Tokoyami.
* BishieSparkle: So much that even his beams have those.
* {{Bishonen}}: Parodied. He's actually closer to a caricature of one.
* ChestBlaster: Or Navel Blaster in this case. He fires his beam from his belly button.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: No one knows what his deal is, not even the author himself.
* CowardlyLion: During the ''Training Camp'' arc he hides in the bushes and is absolutely terrified when he discovers he is mere feet away from the villain rendezvous point. Still when the villains start to escape with two student hostages he is able to Blast the hostage taker and free at least one student. It can also be argued that with how outnumbered he was and with two unconscious fellow students, staying quiet was ultimately the better plan.
* GenerationXerox: Facially, he and his mother are near-identical, with the only big difference being their hairstyles.
* GlassCannon: His laser has excellent offensive potential, but he himself isn't very strong.
* GratuitousEnglish [[GratuitousFrench and French]]: Alternates between these.
* HeroicRROD: Can't fire his blaster too much or it'll put strain on his stomach.
* HiddenDepths: In spite of being so comically narcissistic, he was observant of others enough to pick up on Uraraka's crush on Deku before she herself was consciously aware of it.
* LightEmUp: His beams.
* MeaningfulName: "Yuuga" means "elegance".
* {{Narcissist}}: His favorite thing? Himself.
* PerpetualSmiler: His facial expression rarely changes from an arrogant, closed smile, not even when he speaks.
* RecoilBoost: Can propel himself by firing his beam at the opposite direction he wants to go.
* ShipperOnDeck: During exams, asks Uraraka if she has a thing for Deku when she starts thinking about what he'd do in their situation.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He's extremely self-conceited for a character that is mostly used for gags.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaoriNazuka
[[quoteright:208:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tooru_hagakure_full_body_uniform.png]]
A bubbly girl with a Quirk that turns her body invisible all the time. Usually recognized as a set of seemingly floating clothes (or just a pair of floating gloves and shoes when wearing her costume).
----
* GenkiGirl: She seems very lively for an invisible person.
* FullFrontalAssault: Considering that her costume is pretty much just a pair of gloves and shoes, she's pretty much fighting in the nude.
* {{Invisibility}}: Her main Quirk power.
* InvisibleStreaker: She doesn't have access to MagicPants, so she needs to constantly strip off her clothes in order for her Quirk to be useful.
* LogicalWeakness: Her Quirk is indeed useful when she's fully naked, but that also means she gets exposed to the elements. Thus, when she confronts Todoroki ice power made it impossible for her to walk through without freezing her bare feet.
* MeaningfulName: "Tooru" means "transparent".
* 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]]).
* 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. Arguably justified by her invisibility.
* RunningGag: People blushing at just the implication that she is totally naked most of the time.
* VSign: A favorite of hers. Only visible in her costume though, because it has gloves.

[[folder:Mezou Shouji -- Tentacole]]
-->'''Voiced By:''' Masakazu Nishida
[[quoteright:230:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mezou_shouji_full_body_uniform.png]]
A tall, intimidating, yet friendly man whose Quirk, "Replicant Arms", allows him to grow tentacles that can replicate parts of his body, thus, he is often compared to an [[AnimalMotifs octopus]].
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Even despite his tentacles, he's way too tall for a 15-year old and his face has an overall odd shape.
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: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.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: An octopus. This one is a bit subtle. See LostInTranslation below.
* BodyHorror: While it isn't played up as this, his appearance is rather disturbing.
* 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.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He appeared during the entrance exam, albeit he could only be seen from a back view.
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: And also mouths, ears, etc. He can replicate any body parts on his tentacles.
* GentleGiant: He is noticeably bigger than most of his classmates (enough to carry two of them on his back), but he is an okay fellow.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous + ExtraEyes + TooManyMouths: His Quirk allows him to have all of those, sometimes at the same time even.
* 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 Shouji's hero name ends up sounding just like a weird corruption of the word "Tentacle".
* NonUniformUniform: The only student to wear a sleeveless uniform, in order to accommodate his six arms.
* NotQuiteFlight: His tentacles allow him to glide to a certain extent.
* PeekABangs: Alongside his mask, they help cover most of his face.
* PunnyName: His name references a proverb: "the walls have ears, the doors (in this case, those traditional Japanese sliding paper doors, which are called "Shouji") have eyes". Eavesdropping is the main strength of his Quirk. Also the case with his hero name, as shown on the LostInTranslation entry.
* SuperStrength: Thanks to his large build and being able to have [[MultiArmedAndDangerous extra arms]], he is one of the class' physical powerhouses.

[[folder:Eijirou Kirishima -- Red Riot]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Toshiki Masuda
[[quoteright:208:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eijirou_kirishima_full_body_uniform.png]]
An eager young man who is obsessed with the concept of manliness. His Quirk, "Hardening", allows him to harden his body. He is often seen hanging out with Bakugou and is also very close friends with Tetsutetsu from Class 1-B.
----
* AlliterativeName: His hero name, Red Riot.
* BewareOfTheNiceOnes: While he is one of the nicest characters in the series, he is powerful and does well during combat. In addition, [[GoodIsNotSoft he's certainly not a pushover and is not above getting angry at people who go too far.]]
* BoringButPractical: How he feels about his own Quirk. He acknowledges that it's useful, but also finds it generic and not flashy enough. He doesn't take it well when he meets another student whose Quirk is nearly identical to his own.
* ColorCharacter: '''Red''' Riot, which in turn is inspired by '''Crimson''' Riot, a retro hero that Kirishima admires.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: He has red hair and red eyes.
* FieryRedhead: One of the more HotBlooded students.
* FriendlyRivalry: With Tetsutetsu.
* InstantArmor: His Quirk is being able to harden his body.
* JackOfAllStats: As a nod to his BoringButPractical powers, the databook gives him a set of pretty balanced stats.
* LeeroyJenkins: He along with Bakugou are the first to attack the villain blocking his class's path during the Rescue Trial. Doesn't work but points for trying.
* MeaningfulName: "Kirishima" has the character for the verb "cut". Likewise, "Eijirou" has the character for "sharp".
* NiceGuy: One of the nicest characters in the series. He's the only one trying to befriend Bakugou, he tried to break the tension when Todoroki declared rivalry to Midoriya, and he's the first one trying to check All Might's condition after his fight with Noumu. The result of the entrance examination also shows him with the fourth highest Rescue Points of the results, just behind Midoriya, Uraraka, and Class 1-B's Kendou.
* OddFriendship: Seems to be the only one capable of calling Bakugou a friend.
* PersonalityPowers: The only classmate who's able to simply shrug off Bakugou's attitude, and even act friendly toward him. In other words, he's very "thick-skinned".
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Since he's the only one who's treated Bakugou with any courtesy or respect, he's the only one who Bakugou tolerates. [[spoiler: This pays off in the "Bakugou Rescue" Arc, since no one else in the group but Kirishima can reach out and save him without hurting his pride.]]
* ScarsAreForever: Nicked himself in the eye when his Quirk first manifested at the age of three. He still has a small line right above his eyelid although it can be easily mistaken as an eyelash.
* ShonenHair: It somehow manages to outspike Bakugou's.
* SmarterThanYouLook: During the Stain arc, he realized that Deku texting out of the blue was unusual, so he called the police to go there as soon as he got the text.
* SuperToughness: Can survive tons of steel falling into him thanks to his Quirk.
* TestosteronePoisoning: Obsessed with "manly" things.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: His hero costume has him topless. Considering his Quirk, he may not need any protections from the costume.

[[folder:Tsuyu Asui -- Froppy]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AoiYuuki
[[quoteright:179:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tsuyu_asui_full_body_school_uniform_anime.png]]
A girl who can do anything a frog can do. This Quirk, called "Frog-Form", may seem strange, but it means being able to jump across very long distances in a single bound, unbelievable agility in water, and a tongue that functions like a flexible steel cable. She is able to maintain a calm, reasonable demeanor through the most stressful situations and is also known for always speaking about what's on her mind.
----
* ActionGirl: She's actually pretty competent at fighting and general heroics.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: One of the more extreme examples as by virtue of being part frog. It's even worse with her parents, who look pretty much like anthropomorphic frogs.
* AnimalMotifs: Guess. Fittingly, her first friend was a snake girl.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: "[[Franchise/SpiderMan Does whatever a frog can!]]"
* BigDamnHeroes: Saves Midoriya and Mineta after they're warped to a water area, and attacked by a fish-type villain.
* BrutalHonesty: Not afraid to say what's on her mind. After the Bakugou vs Uraraka fight, she has an exchange with Kaminari along the lines of this:
--> '''Kaminari:''' (to Bakugou) If it were me, I wouldn't dare to go all out on a fragile girl like that.
--> '''Tsuyu:''' You got easily beaten, though.
* CuteMonsterGirl: You wouldn't expect a human frog to be this adorable.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Gets her own short side-story in "Tsuyu-chan's Ribbet-ing Diary".
* {{Expy}}: On the one hand she's like Franchise/SpiderMan with a different AnimalMotif. On the other hand, her powers are identical to those of the Franchise/XMen villain Toad.
* FriendlessBackground: Thanks to studying and having to look after her siblings, she didn't make any friends until the last year of middle school.
* FirstNameBasis: Insists people call her by her first name, Tsuyu. A bonus chapter showing her backstory implies she considers it a sign of friendship, due to it being what her first friend referred to her with.
* HairColorDissonance: Her hair is either black, black with teal highlights, or [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair teal entirely]].
* HiddenDepths: Has decided at a young age to be a hero. Not only that, she even thought of her specialty for search and rescue. Not to mention being a caretaker for her 2 younger siblings.
* InASingleBound: Being a frog, she can jump very high.
* LittleBitBeastly: Has a frog tongue as well as certain frog abilities like croaking and secreting poison.
* MeaningfulName: "Asui" contains the character for "frog".
* MultipurposeTongue: Again, frog. OverlyLongTongue is to be expected.
* NervesOfSteel: One of her strong points as a hero is her ability to remain calm, no matter how dire the situation may seem.
* PoisonousPerson: Somewhat, her stomach can make poisonous mucus and she can secrete it, but it makes more of a stinging sensation than anything really fatal.
* PromotionToParent: Due to her parents often being away from home, she acts as this for her younger siblings.
* RapunzelHair: Her long hair is tied up in a ribbon-like fashion.
* TheStoic: Like water off a frog's back, nothing really fazes her and her expression rarely changes. This is noted to be her strongest point as a hero, as her always cool-headed personality allows her to make good judgments in many situations and also gives a calming effect on others, making her an emotional pillar in teams.
* StomachOfHolding: Can hold fairly large objects in her stomach, but getting them out leaves her visibly nauseated.
* ThinkingOutLoud: Does this sometimes, often to being very...overly descriptive.
* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Both of her parents are {{Gonk}}s, but Tsuyu and both of her siblings look far cuter.
* WallCrawl: Able to stick to surfaces and climb along them.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyoHirohashi
[[quoteright:151:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minoru_mineta_full_body_school_uniform.png]]
A short and incredibly perverted (something he openly admits) boy with the ability to generate sticky balls from his body. Despite having earned admittance into U.A., he doesn't feel that he'll be able to be a hero because of his odd Quirk.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''Min'''oru '''Min'''eta.
* 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.
* ButtMonkey: Of Class 1-A.
* CharacterDevelopment: During exams, ends up winning against Midnight by himself when he realizes that heroes aren't cool because they're heroes, but the other way around, making him decide that he wants to be cooler as a hero.
* ClassicalAntiHero: Thanks to his general unpopularity, cowardliness, perverted antics and unimpressive Quirk.
* 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.
* HeroicRROD: He can't keep pulling his sticky balls out for too long or they'll start to make his skin bleed.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: Overall, this is the goal he is pursuing as a hero (that and [[AManIsNotAVirgin feeling up a woman]]).
* LovableSexManiac: He's a massive, open pervert who admits out loud that his biggest regret was not touching Momo'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 butt. All of this is PlayedForLaughs, so he comes across as a mostly harmless annoyance rather than a really dangerous pervert.
* MeaningfulName: Minoru = Producing fruit.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He looks like a small child despite being the same age as his classmates (15).
* SmarterThanYouLook: Between his perverseness and overall cowardlyness, 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 Bakugou]] and [[ClassRepresentative Iida]] and behind only [[TheAce Yaoyorozu]].
* 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.
* TearsOfFear: For being unwilling to fight villains in a life or death situation.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway / HeartIsAnAwesomePower: His Quirk is sometimes pointed out as being pretty weak, sometimes even by himself, but Midoriya actually manages to see its true potential and usefulness.
* WithCatlikeTread: Upon discovering a peephole to the girls' locker room, he discusses peeping on his female classmates. Very loudly. He gets one of Jirou's earphone jacks in his eye very quickly.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His hair is [[HairColorDissonance mostly purple]], going with his grape theme.

[[folder: Denki Kaminari -- Chargebolt]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Tasuku Hatanaka
[[quoteright:243:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kaminari.png]]
A boy whose Quirk, called "Static Buildup", allows him to generate electricity from his body, but only to the point of using it as a sort of electric armor. Despite his Quirk, he's not the brightest bulb in the box.
----
* AllMenArePerverts: Not as bad as Mineta, but he has no problem in joining his antics.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: That lightning-shaped streak on his hair is completely natural, and he just so happens to have electric powers.
* BookDumb: Does horribly in tests, although it has been shown that he can manage his way through villain attacks just fine.
* ButtMonkey: Doesn't have it quite as bad as Mineta, but the dumb state he's left in when he short-circuits and some of his screw-ups ([[CurbStompBattle like his match against Ibara]]) have been the subject of a good few jokes at his expense.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: His golden eyes matches his blond hair.
* TheDitz: While not that stupid, he definitely counts while in his "moron state", when he literally short-circuits his brain.
* HeroicRROD: He has a wattage limit to how much he can discharge. He goes over that, he "short-circuits" his own brain and is left in a dumb state for an hour.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: When Stain is brought up, he says that, in spite of him being a murderous villain, his level of conviction and tenacity were cool...with Iida sitting not too far away. He sincerely apologizes once Midoriya points out the insensitivity of his remark.
* MeaningfulName: "Kaminari Denki" literally means "Lightning Electricity".
* MulticolouredHair: Blonde with a black lightning bolt shape at the left side.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He speaks like this on one occasion to tease Bakugou.
* ShockAndAwe: Sorta, he's not quite good at controlling it and just "wears" lighting and can discharge it in short bursts. Meaning at best he just act as a taser and this means having to actually get up close to his targets. If he goes all out, he risks hitting allies as well as enemies.
* StupidityInducingAttack: It's his HeroicRROD caused by breaking his own wattage limit. If he ends up like this in a battle, it's an InstantWinCondition for the opponent.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KeiShindou
[[quoteright:228:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kyouka_jirou_full_body_uniform.png]]
An aloof rocker girl whose Quirk, "Earphone Jack", consists of elongated earlobes that can catch faint sounds as well as amplify them for offensive purposes.
----
* ActionGirl: Inevitable, given how she is more aggressive and tomboyish than the other female students. She is also able to use a katana at least well enough to fight off some {{Mooks}}.
* ACupAngst: She appears to be sensitive about her body.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Similar to Kaminari, she has random streaks on her hair that resemble cardiac flatlines in her case, which perfectly fit her heartbeat-based sound attacks.
* 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.
* DeadpanSnarker: She's quite sharp-tongued, especially towards Kaminari.
* FacialMarkings: She has tear-shaped markings on her cheeks.
* {{Goth}}: The rock fan variety.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While she isn't exactly the nicest person, she shows her softer side when she tries encouraging Kouda during the Student vs Teacher test.
* MakeMeWannaShout: Her Quirk allows her to increase the sound of her heartbeat and, in combination with her costume, transfer the sound to her targets. Considering how much she hops around during fights. It's pretty useful.
* MeaningfulName: "Jirou" contains the character for "ear". "Kyouka" contains the character for the verb "echo".
* PerpetualFrowner: Whenever she does smile, it's usually to give a condescending remark to Denki.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: If her character file is anything to go by.
* UnusualEars: Her earlobes are long and look like audio connectors.
* WhipItGood: Her Earphone Jacks can also be used like this.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Not really blue, but blue-ish purple.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MarinaInoue
[[quoteright:221:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/momo_yaoyorozu_full_body_school_uniform.png]]
Class 1-A's vice-president and also a recommended student. An intelligent and observant young woman from a wealthy background whose Quirk, "Creation", allows her to create any non-living object out of her body. While usually confident in her skills, she is known to lose self-esteem when she underperforms.
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her costume's top is a shirt with a cut low enough to reach her stomach.
* TheAce: One of two students recommended to enroll in U.A. without having to pass the entrance exams, the other being Todoroki.
* ActionGirl: Perhaps the biggest one in Class 1-A.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Rivals, or even surpasses Midoriya in some respects. Her breakdown of the first "Heroes vs. Villains" match-up hit every single point that All Might wanted to make. It also extends to her Quirk, as she has to understand the properties of an object before she can create it.
* BadassBookworm: Has the highest grades in the class, as well as rivaling Deku in assessing and analyzing battles.
* BigEater: Eats a lot in order to have a large store of matter to draw from when she creates objects. Not that it shows.
* BoobsOfSteel: The toughest girl in Class 1-A. Naturally, she's also the bustiest.
* BrokenAce: Thanks to losing to Tokoyami before she could fight back in the tournament, as well as not being able to assert her ideas during the cavalry battle and exams, her confidence takes a dive. She recovers it after figuring out a way to beat Aizawa-sensei.
* BrutalHonesty: Points out all the flaws in the first Hero vs Villains match and how it could've gone if the teams used their powers more effectively.
* ClassRepresentative: The vice-president of Class 1-A, below Iida.
* GoGetterGirl: Is focused on academic studies and becoming a hero (which shows in her class grades and rank), but falls into HeroicSelfDeprecation at times.
* 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.
* MsFanservice: Her costume is a miniskirt and a top that boldly displays her cleavage. Given that her Quirk produces objects from her own body, there's a more practical reason for this trope than usual.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite the seriousness of the situation, during the [[spoiler: Bakugou Rescue Arc]] when the team needs disguises, they purchase them from a store. When it's pointed out that Momo could just make 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.]]
* ThePowerOfCreation: 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.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: In the first major battle, her plan destroys her entire top. She's not fazed in the slightest and simply announces that she'll make a new one. Somewhat justified in that the only person who could see her at the time was a girl. Then when she's teamed up with Todoroki; without telling him, she opens her top a bit to allow for more space in creating the alloy fibres she was using to face off against Eraserhead in the practical exam. When she's really focused, it seems she doesn't really care about modesty regardless of who's watching.
** However, it seems this only applies when in battle. Other times, she becomes rather mortified, like when she tricked into wearing a cheerleader outfit by Mineta.
* SkilledButNaive: WordOfGod stated this is what she is intended to be. The author thinks it would be interesting to have a powerful ability at the hand of a newbie.
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: She has the ability to generate any type of non-living matter from her body, and she uses it to create weapons 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.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Like Iida, she has a very mature physique for a 15-year old.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YoshimasaHosoya
[[quoteright:178:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fumikage_yokoyami_full_body_school_uniform.PNG]]
A student with a bird-like appearance. His Quirk, "Dark Shadow", manifests as a sort of shadow beast that lives within his body. Despite his looks and Quirk, he is actually quite righteous.
----
* AllEncompassingMantle: His hero costume features one.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: An extreme example, that bird head is quite misleading.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The power boost the Dark Shadow receives at nighttime is impressive, but it also brings a lot of suffering to Tokoyami and indiscriminately attacks anything that moves, be them friend, foe or just objects.
** BoringButPractical: Dark Shadow at daytime is a reliable and versatile Quirk, albeit a bit cowardly.
* 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.
* CastingAShadow: His Quirk is a LivingShadow that he can project from his body.
* CurbstompBattle: [[spoiler:Moonfish]] never stood a chance.
* 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.
** DarkIsEvil: While he, as a person, is not evil, his Dark Shadow becomes quite destructive when it gets out of his control, becoming a mass of shadows that tries to engulf him while attacking even those he consider friends.
* 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.
* GuardianEntity: The Dark Shadow.
* LivingShadow: The Dark Shadow appears to have its own mind and personality despite being just an extension of Tokoyami's body.
* LongRangeFighter: He is great at keeping enemies away from him, but has trouble if the enemy manages to close in through dodging or numbers.
* 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.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: He has a very evil-sounding, darkness-based name. "Tokoyami" literally means Eternal Darkness. This matches his powers perfectly, though not his personality.
* PettingZooPeople: He's somewhere in-between this and LittleBitBeastly. His head is bird-like in appearance, but everything else from the neck down is human.
* 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. Also, see LongRangeFighter above.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: At nighttime, his 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.
* TheStoic: One of the more cool headed students of 1-A, and overall a no-nonsense kind of person.
* ToothyBird: He's got a set of human-like choppers inside his beak.
* WeakenedByTheLight: The Dark Shadow becomes weaker when faced with light, but this also makes it easier to control for Tokoyami.

A young man whose Quirk, "Tape", allows him to create cellophane tape out of his elbows, which look like tape dispensers. He can use his tape for traps and mobility.
----
* BoringButPractical: Much like Mineta above, he specializes in traps more than direct combat. His Quirk is more versatile though.
** It doesn't seem so boring when he's swinging around like Franchise/SpiderMan, though.
* BuildingSwing: Again, just like good ol' Spidey.
* ButtMonkey: He is probably the biggest one next to Mineta.
* DuctTapeForEverything: What his Quirk boils down to, even though it's not exactly duct tape.
* TheGenericGuy: Described as a background character by WordOfGod, at least for now.
* 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).
* HeroicRROD: Ejecting too much tape causes him to suffer dry skin.
* InstantKnots: His tape can easily wrap around his intended target. His Quirk wouldn't be as useful otherwise.
* NeverLiveItDown: In-Universe, his [[CurbstompBattle crushing defeat]] against Todoroki in the Sports Festival.
* OneWayVisor: Featured in his hero costume.

A student whose Quirk, "Tail", manifests in him [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin as a tail]]. He is also good at martial arts and has a deep sense of honor.
----
* BoringButPractical: His Quirk is as simple as it gets: a sturdy tail that can be used for attacking, movement or as a third arm. Very useful, but not exactly flashy.
* HonorBeforeReason: Quits the Sports Festival because he doesn't remember how he managed to advance (thanks to being a victim of MindManipulation) and thus he feels unworthy of participating any further.
* LittleBitBeastly: A tailed human.
* MartialArtsUniform: His hero costume is really close to one.
* MeaningfulName: "Mashirao" is a common Japanese name. It also includes the kanji for "tail".
* PrehensileTail: His Quirk. It's very thick and strong-looking too.
* SkintoneSclerae: Weirdly enough, they end up making him look more Asian than the rest of the cast (who are prominently Japanese). This is averted in the anime.
* TailSlap: His main method of attacking.
* WeakButSkilled: Although we haven't really seen him in action yet, he passed the combat heavy Heroics Department Entrance exam with nothing but a Quirk that just gives him a tail, with the rest being martial arts he learned. This is something of notice in an exam that favors students with powerful, flashy Quirks capable of destruction.
** He also managed to hold out against a group of foes by himself using hit-and-run tactics when the Villain Alliance attacked.

A strange-looking girl whose Quirk, "Acid", allows her to create a corrosive liquid, being also able to control its levels of solubility and viscosity. She is very emotional and easily excited, being one of the rowdier students.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: She has purplish pink skin, caused by the pigments found in her acid.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: An extreme example, she looks way more like a GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe than an actual human.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Acid is not exactly the most heroic of powers. Not a problem when she has to face robots or destroy objects, but she has to adjust herself against human enemies.
* BookDumb: Like Kaminari, she doesn't perform well in tests, despite having a highly versatile and useful Quirk and reaching the Top 8 of the School Festival Tournament.
* ColorCharacter: Try to guess.
* CuteMonsterGirl: An attractive, humanoid... something.
* HollywoodAcid: Her Quirk.
* HornedHumanoid: Has a small pair of horns.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Seems to have low self-esteem when comparing her abilities to others, despite being quite agile and competent whenever seen in action.
** Part of this reasoning could be, as she states, that her powers are [[BlessedWithSuck morally useless against living creatures]], since the entire Hero society is based around the idea that [[ThouShallNotKill Heroes are not allowed to take lethal measures]] against criminals, and are highly regulated in how their operate. Since acid is at best permanently scarring and at worst absolutely lethal, she's rarely able to use her Quirk on anything but inanimate objects.
* MeaningfulName: Her surname sounds like "acid", referring to her Quirk.
* MessyHair: Not unlike Midoriya's.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Her skin is resistant to her own acid, but using it consecutively can lead it to harm her.
* ShesGotLegs: In the character profile, the author quips that her thighs are "healthy".
* TechnicolorEyes: Her eyes have black sclerae combined with pink irises.

[[folder:Kouji Kouda -- Anima]]
[[quoteright:179:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kouji_kouda_full_body_uniform.png]]
A quiet, gentle student with a rocky-like appearance. His Quirk, "Animal Voice", allows him to control animals. He usually communicates through sign language.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Despite his rocky appearance, he's probably human just like the rest of his classmates.
* AntiquatedLinguistics: When he finally speaks, he does it through this.
--> '''Kouda''': Please, go forth, oh band of creatures small, the time to vanquish the source of that cacophony is now, if that's all right...
--> '''Jirou''': You talk up a storm!!
* TheBeastmaster: His Quirk allows him to command animals.
* GentleGiant: He is one of the bigger students in the class. And is quite possibly the gentlest of the students too.
* HandSignals: His main way of communication.
* NatureLover: According to supplementary info. Not surprising considering his Quirk. Might also be a NatureHero, although he doesn't live in isolation.
* TheQuietOne: He doesn't speak much. He usually communicates through hand gestures or sign language and has so far only been shown talking when using his Quirk.
* RockMonster: His body appears to be made of rock, but he doesn't really look that monstrous.
* ShrinkingViolet: Very clearly a shy person, which explains why he's TheQuietOne.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He's afraid of insects, despite being able to control them.

[[folder:Rikidou Satou -- Sugar Man]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Tooru Nara
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rikidou_satou_full_body_uniform.png]]
A strong-looking student. His Quirk is "Sugar Dope", which allows him to power up through the ingestion of sugar.
----
* CaffeineBulletTime: His Quirk. By ingesting certain doses of sugar (10g), he becomes 5 times stronger with each dose, [[HourOfPower but it only lasts 3 minutes]] and his brain activity is slowly reduced per dose as well.
* DumbMuscle: His Quirk allows him to become stronger, but gradually dumber as well.
* FacialProfiling: Drawn with big lips on him.
* HeroicBuild: Very tall and muscular.
* HeroicRROD: The reduced brain activity that comes with his Quirk.
* HulkingOut: Becomes much bigger and more muscular the more he ingests sugar.
* LogicalWeakness: Implied. Because his Quirk requires consumption of sugar, it can be safe to assume that he's screwed if he doesn't have any.
* RealMenHateSugar: Inverted. Sugar actually makes him ''manlier''. His favorite food also happens to be cake.
* RealMenWearPink: Wears a pink tuxedo during the popularity poll announcement. "Sugar Man" is also not the manliest of names.
* SuperStrength: The main advantage of his Quirk.

[folder:Yuuga Aoyama -- Can't Stop Twinkling]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Kosuke Kuwano (Japanese), Creator/JoelMcDonald (English)
[[quoteright:209:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yuuga_aoyama_full_body_uniform.png]]
A vain, eccentric young man Midoriya first meets during U.A's entrance exam. He thinks very highly of his Quirk, "Navel Laser", which allows him to fire laser beams from his belly button.
----
* AttentionWhore: After the battle against the Villain Alliance, he made a big deal about the mystery of his whereabouts during the incident (no one actually seemed to care).
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He mostly provides comic relief and his Quirk is very ridiculous-looking, but the ability to fire laser beams still makes him pretty powerful. He also has moments showing surprising awareness.
* BigDamnHeroes: After spending most of the School Trip Arc hiding in fear, he delivers an attack that saves Tokoyami.
* BishieSparkle: So much that even his beams have those.
* {{Bishonen}}: Parodied. He's actually closer to a caricature of one.
* ChestBlaster: Or Navel Blaster in this case. He fires his beam from his belly button.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: No one knows what his deal is, not even the author himself.
* CowardlyLion: During the ''Training Camp'' arc he hides in the bushes and is absolutely terrified when he discovers he is mere feet away from the villain rendezvous point. Still when the villains start to escape with two student hostages he is able to Blast the hostage taker and free at least one student. It can also be argued that with how outnumbered he was and with two unconscious fellow students, staying quiet was ultimately the better plan.
* GenerationXerox: Facially, he and his mother are near-identical, with the only big difference being their hairstyles.
* GlassCannon: His laser has excellent offensive potential, but he himself isn't very strong.
* GratuitousEnglish [[GratuitousFrench and French]]: Alternates between these.
* HeroicRROD: Can't fire his blaster too much or it'll put strain on his stomach.
* HiddenDepths: In spite of being so comically narcissistic, he was observant of others enough to pick up on Uraraka's crush on Deku before she herself was consciously aware of it.
* LightEmUp: His beams.
* MeaningfulName: "Yuuga" means "elegance".
* {{Narcissist}}: His favorite thing? Himself.
* PerpetualSmiler: His facial expression rarely changes from an arrogant, closed smile, not even when he speaks.
* RecoilBoost: Can propel himself by firing his beam at the opposite direction he wants to go.
* ShipperOnDeck: During exams, asks Uraraka if she has a thing for Deku when she starts thinking about what he'd do in their situation.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He's extremely self-conceited for a character that is mostly used for gags.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaoriNazuka
[[quoteright:208:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tooru_hagakure_full_body_uniform.png]]
A bubbly girl with a Quirk that turns her body invisible all the time. Usually recognized as a set of seemingly floating clothes (or just a pair of floating gloves and shoes when wearing her costume).
----
* GenkiGirl: She seems very lively for an invisible person.
* FullFrontalAssault: Considering that her costume is pretty much just a pair of gloves and shoes, she's pretty much fighting in the nude.
* {{Invisibility}}: Her main Quirk power.
* InvisibleStreaker: She doesn't have access to MagicPants, so she needs to constantly strip off her clothes in order for her Quirk to be useful.
* LogicalWeakness: Her Quirk is indeed useful when she's fully naked, but that also means she gets exposed to the elements. Thus, when she confronts Todoroki ice power made it impossible for her to walk through without freezing her bare feet.
* MeaningfulName: "Tooru" means "transparent".
* 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]]).
* 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. Arguably justified by her invisibility.
* RunningGag: People blushing at just the implication that she is totally naked most of the time.
* VSign: A favorite of hers. Only visible in her costume though, because it has gloves.

-->'''Voiced By:''' Masakazu Nishida
[[quoteright:230:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mezou_shouji_full_body_uniform.png]]
A tall, intimidating, yet friendly man whose Quirk, "Replicant Arms", allows him to grow tentacles that can replicate parts of his body, thus, he is often compared to an [[AnimalMotifs octopus]].
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Even despite his tentacles, he's way too tall for a 15-year old and his face has an overall odd shape.
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: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.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: An octopus. This one is a bit subtle. See LostInTranslation below.
* BodyHorror: While it isn't played up as this, his appearance is rather disturbing.
* 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.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He appeared during the entrance exam, albeit he could only be seen from a back view.
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: And also mouths, ears, etc. He can replicate any body parts on his tentacles.
* GentleGiant: He is noticeably bigger than most of his classmates (enough to carry two of them on his back), but he is an okay fellow.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous + ExtraEyes + TooManyMouths: His Quirk allows him to have all of those, sometimes at the same time even.
* 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 Shouji's hero name ends up sounding just like a weird corruption of the word "Tentacle".
* NonUniformUniform: The only student to wear a sleeveless uniform, in order to accommodate his six arms.
* NotQuiteFlight: His tentacles allow him to glide to a certain extent.
* PeekABangs: Alongside his mask, they help cover most of his face.
* PunnyName: His name references a proverb: "the walls have ears, the doors (in this case, those traditional Japanese sliding paper doors, which are called "Shouji") have eyes". Eavesdropping is the main strength of his Quirk. Also the case with his hero name, as shown on the LostInTranslation entry.
* SuperStrength: Thanks to his large build and being able to have [[MultiArmedAndDangerous extra arms]], he is one of the class' physical powerhouses.

[[folder:Eijirou Kirishima -- Red Riot]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Toshiki Masuda
[[quoteright:208:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eijirou_kirishima_full_body_uniform.png]]
An eager young man who is obsessed with the concept of manliness. His Quirk, "Hardening", allows him to harden his body. He is often seen hanging out with Bakugou and is also very close friends with Tetsutetsu from Class 1-B.
----
* AlliterativeName: His hero name, Red Riot.
* BewareOfTheNiceOnes: While he is one of the nicest characters in the series, he is powerful and does well during combat. In addition, [[GoodIsNotSoft he's certainly not a pushover and is not above getting angry at people who go too far.]]
* BoringButPractical: How he feels about his own Quirk. He acknowledges that it's useful, but also finds it generic and not flashy enough. He doesn't take it well when he meets another student whose Quirk is nearly identical to his own.
* ColorCharacter: '''Red''' Riot, which in turn is inspired by '''Crimson''' Riot, a retro hero that Kirishima admires.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: He has red hair and red eyes.
* FieryRedhead: One of the more HotBlooded students.
* FriendlyRivalry: With Tetsutetsu.
* InstantArmor: His Quirk is being able to harden his body.
* JackOfAllStats: As a nod to his BoringButPractical powers, the databook gives him a set of pretty balanced stats.
* LeeroyJenkins: He along with Bakugou are the first to attack the villain blocking his class's path during the Rescue Trial. Doesn't work but points for trying.
* MeaningfulName: "Kirishima" has the character for the verb "cut". Likewise, "Eijirou" has the character for "sharp".
* NiceGuy: One of the nicest characters in the series. He's the only one trying to befriend Bakugou, he tried to break the tension when Todoroki declared rivalry to Midoriya, and he's the first one trying to check All Might's condition after his fight with Noumu. The result of the entrance examination also shows him with the fourth highest Rescue Points of the results, just behind Midoriya, Uraraka, and Class 1-B's Kendou.
* OddFriendship: Seems to be the only one capable of calling Bakugou a friend.
* PersonalityPowers: The only classmate who's able to simply shrug off Bakugou's attitude, and even act friendly toward him. In other words, he's very "thick-skinned".
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Since he's the only one who's treated Bakugou with any courtesy or respect, he's the only one who Bakugou tolerates. [[spoiler: This pays off in the "Bakugou Rescue" Arc, since no one else in the group but Kirishima can reach out and save him without hurting his pride.]]
* ScarsAreForever: Nicked himself in the eye when his Quirk first manifested at the age of three. He still has a small line right above his eyelid although it can be easily mistaken as an eyelash.
* ShonenHair: It somehow manages to outspike Bakugou's.
* SmarterThanYouLook: During the Stain arc, he realized that Deku texting out of the blue was unusual, so he called the police to go there as soon as he got the text.
* SuperToughness: Can survive tons of steel falling into him thanks to his Quirk.
* TestosteronePoisoning: Obsessed with "manly" things.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: His hero costume has him topless. Considering his Quirk, he may not need any protections from the costume.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AoiYuuki
[[quoteright:179:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tsuyu_asui_full_body_school_uniform_anime.png]]
A girl who can do anything a frog can do. This Quirk, called "Frog-Form", may seem strange, but it means being able to jump across very long distances in a single bound, unbelievable agility in water, and a tongue that functions like a flexible steel cable. She is able to maintain a calm, reasonable demeanor through the most stressful situations and is also known for always speaking about what's on her mind.
----
* ActionGirl: She's actually pretty competent at fighting and general heroics.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: One of the more extreme examples as by virtue of being part frog. It's even worse with her parents, who look pretty much like anthropomorphic frogs.
* AnimalMotifs: Guess. Fittingly, her first friend was a snake girl.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: "[[Franchise/SpiderMan Does whatever a frog can!]]"
* BigDamnHeroes: Saves Midoriya and Mineta after they're warped to a water area, and attacked by a fish-type villain.
* BrutalHonesty: Not afraid to say what's on her mind. After the Bakugou vs Uraraka fight, she has an exchange with Kaminari along the lines of this:
--> '''Kaminari:''' (to Bakugou) If it were me, I wouldn't dare to go all out on a fragile girl like that.
--> '''Tsuyu:''' You got easily beaten, though.
* CuteMonsterGirl: You wouldn't expect a human frog to be this adorable.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Gets her own short side-story in "Tsuyu-chan's Ribbet-ing Diary".
* {{Expy}}: On the one hand she's like Franchise/SpiderMan with a different AnimalMotif. On the other hand, her powers are identical to those of the Franchise/XMen villain Toad.
* FriendlessBackground: Thanks to studying and having to look after her siblings, she didn't make any friends until the last year of middle school.
* FirstNameBasis: Insists people call her by her first name, Tsuyu. A bonus chapter showing her backstory implies she considers it a sign of friendship, due to it being what her first friend referred to her with.
* HairColorDissonance: Her hair is either black, black with teal highlights, or [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair teal entirely]].
* HiddenDepths: Has decided at a young age to be a hero. Not only that, she even thought of her specialty for search and rescue. Not to mention being a caretaker for her 2 younger siblings.
* InASingleBound: Being a frog, she can jump very high.
* LittleBitBeastly: Has a frog tongue as well as certain frog abilities like croaking and secreting poison.
* MeaningfulName: "Asui" contains the character for "frog".
* MultipurposeTongue: Again, frog. OverlyLongTongue is to be expected.
* NervesOfSteel: One of her strong points as a hero is her ability to remain calm, no matter how dire the situation may seem.
* PoisonousPerson: Somewhat, her stomach can make poisonous mucus and she can secrete it, but it makes more of a stinging sensation than anything really fatal.
* PromotionToParent: Due to her parents often being away from home, she acts as this for her younger siblings.
* RapunzelHair: Her long hair is tied up in a ribbon-like fashion.
* TheStoic: Like water off a frog's back, nothing really fazes her and her expression rarely changes. This is noted to be her strongest point as a hero, as her always cool-headed personality allows her to make good judgments in many situations and also gives a calming effect on others, making her an emotional pillar in teams.
* StomachOfHolding: Can hold fairly large objects in her stomach, but getting them out leaves her visibly nauseated.
* ThinkingOutLoud: Does this sometimes, often to being very...overly descriptive.
* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Both of her parents are {{Gonk}}s, but Tsuyu and both of her siblings look far cuter.
* WallCrawl: Able to stick to surfaces and climb along them.

[[quoteright:151:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minoru_mineta_full_body_school_uniform.png]]
A short and incredibly perverted (something he openly admits) boy with the ability to generate sticky balls from his body. Despite having earned admittance into U.A., he doesn't feel that he'll be able to be a hero because of his odd Quirk.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''Min'''oru '''Min'''eta.
* 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.
* ButtMonkey: Of Class 1-A.
* CharacterDevelopment: During exams, ends up winning against Midnight by himself when he realizes that heroes aren't cool because they're heroes, but the other way around, making him decide that he wants to be cooler as a hero.
* ClassicalAntiHero: Thanks to his general unpopularity, cowardliness, perverted antics and unimpressive Quirk.
* 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.
* HeroicRROD: He can't keep pulling his sticky balls out for too long or they'll start to make his skin bleed.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: Overall, this is the goal he is pursuing as a hero (that and [[AManIsNotAVirgin feeling up a woman]]).
* LovableSexManiac: He's a massive, open pervert who admits out loud that his biggest regret was not touching Momo'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 butt. All of this is PlayedForLaughs, so he comes across as a mostly harmless annoyance rather than a really dangerous pervert.
* MeaningfulName: Minoru = Producing fruit.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He looks like a small child despite being the same age as his classmates (15).
* SmarterThanYouLook: Between his perverseness and overall cowardlyness, 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 Bakugou]] and [[ClassRepresentative Iida]] and behind only [[TheAce Yaoyorozu]].
* 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.
* TearsOfFear: For being unwilling to fight villains in a life or death situation.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway / HeartIsAnAwesomePower: His Quirk is sometimes pointed out as being pretty weak, sometimes even by himself, but Midoriya actually manages to see its true potential and usefulness.
* WithCatlikeTread: Upon discovering a peephole to the girls' locker room, he discusses peeping on his female classmates. Very loudly. He gets one of Jirou's earphone jacks in his eye very quickly.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His hair is [[HairColorDissonance mostly purple]], going with his grape theme.

[[folder: Denki Kaminari -- Chargebolt]]

[[quoteright:243:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kaminari.png]]
A boy whose Quirk, called "Static Buildup", allows him to generate electricity from his body, but only to the point of using it as a sort of electric armor. Despite his Quirk, he's not the brightest bulb in the box.
----
* AllMenArePerverts: Not as bad as Mineta, but he has no problem in joining his antics.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: That lightning-shaped streak on his hair is completely natural, and he just so happens to have electric powers.
* BookDumb: Does horribly in tests, although it has been shown that he can manage his way through villain attacks just fine.
* ButtMonkey: Doesn't have it quite as bad as Mineta, but the dumb state he's left in when he short-circuits and some of his screw-ups ([[CurbStompBattle like his match against Ibara]]) have been the subject of a good few jokes at his expense.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: His golden eyes matches his blond hair.
* TheDitz: While not that stupid, he definitely counts while in his "moron state", when he literally short-circuits his brain.
* HeroicRROD: He has a wattage limit to how much he can discharge. He goes over that, he "short-circuits" his own brain and is left in a dumb state for an hour.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: When Stain is brought up, he says that, in spite of him being a murderous villain, his level of conviction and tenacity were cool...with Iida sitting not too far away. He sincerely apologizes once Midoriya points out the insensitivity of his remark.
* MeaningfulName: "Kaminari Denki" literally means "Lightning Electricity".
* MulticolouredHair: Blonde with a black lightning bolt shape at the left side.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He speaks like this on one occasion to tease Bakugou.
* ShockAndAwe: Sorta, he's not quite good at controlling it and just "wears" lighting and can discharge it in short bursts. Meaning at best he just act as a taser and this means having to actually get up close to his targets. If he goes all out, he risks hitting allies as well as enemies.
* StupidityInducingAttack: It's his HeroicRROD caused by breaking his own wattage limit. If he ends up like this in a battle, it's an InstantWinCondition for the opponent.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KeiShindou
[[quoteright:228:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kyouka_jirou_full_body_uniform.png]]
An aloof rocker girl whose Quirk, "Earphone Jack", consists of elongated earlobes that can catch faint sounds as well as amplify them for offensive purposes.
----
* ActionGirl: Inevitable, given how she is more aggressive and tomboyish than the other female students. She is also able to use a katana at least well enough to fight off some {{Mooks}}.
* ACupAngst: She appears to be sensitive about her body.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Similar to Kaminari, she has random streaks on her hair that resemble cardiac flatlines in her case, which perfectly fit her heartbeat-based sound attacks.
* 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.
* DeadpanSnarker: She's quite sharp-tongued, especially towards Kaminari.
* FacialMarkings: She has tear-shaped markings on her cheeks.
* {{Goth}}: The rock fan variety.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While she isn't exactly the nicest person, she shows her softer side when she tries encouraging Kouda during the Student vs Teacher test.
* MakeMeWannaShout: Her Quirk allows her to increase the sound of her heartbeat and, in combination with her costume, transfer the sound to her targets. Considering how much she hops around during fights. It's pretty useful.
* MeaningfulName: "Jirou" contains the character for "ear". "Kyouka" contains the character for the verb "echo".
* PerpetualFrowner: Whenever she does smile, it's usually to give a condescending remark to Denki.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: If her character file is anything to go by.
* UnusualEars: Her earlobes are long and look like audio connectors.
* WhipItGood: Her Earphone Jacks can also be used like this.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Not really blue, but blue-ish purple.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MarinaInoue
[[quoteright:221:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/momo_yaoyorozu_full_body_school_uniform.png]]
Class 1-A's vice-president and also a recommended student. An intelligent and observant young woman from a wealthy background whose Quirk, "Creation", allows her to create any non-living object out of her body. While usually confident in her skills, she is known to lose self-esteem when she underperforms.
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her costume's top is a shirt with a cut low enough to reach her stomach.
* TheAce: One of two students recommended to enroll in U.A. without having to pass the entrance exams, the other being Todoroki.
* ActionGirl: Perhaps the biggest one in Class 1-A.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Rivals, or even surpasses Midoriya in some respects. Her breakdown of the first "Heroes vs. Villains" match-up hit every single point that All Might wanted to make. It also extends to her Quirk, as she has to understand the properties of an object before she can create it.
* BadassBookworm: Has the highest grades in the class, as well as rivaling Deku in assessing and analyzing battles.
* BigEater: Eats a lot in order to have a large store of matter to draw from when she creates objects. Not that it shows.
* BoobsOfSteel: The toughest girl in Class 1-A. Naturally, she's also the bustiest.
* BrokenAce: Thanks to losing to Tokoyami before she could fight back in the tournament, as well as not being able to assert her ideas during the cavalry battle and exams, her confidence takes a dive. She recovers it after figuring out a way to beat Aizawa-sensei.
* BrutalHonesty: Points out all the flaws in the first Hero vs Villains match and how it could've gone if the teams used their powers more effectively.
* ClassRepresentative: The vice-president of Class 1-A, below Iida.
* GoGetterGirl: Is focused on academic studies and becoming a hero (which shows in her class grades and rank), but falls into HeroicSelfDeprecation at times.
* 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.
* MsFanservice: Her costume is a miniskirt and a top that boldly displays her cleavage. Given that her Quirk produces objects from her own body, there's a more practical reason for this trope than usual.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite the seriousness of the situation, during the [[spoiler: Bakugou Rescue Arc]] when the team needs disguises, they purchase them from a store. When it's pointed out that Momo could just make 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.]]
* ThePowerOfCreation: 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.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: In the first major battle, her plan destroys her entire top. She's not fazed in the slightest and simply announces that she'll make a new one. Somewhat justified in that the only person who could see her at the time was a girl. Then when she's teamed up with Todoroki; without telling him, she opens her top a bit to allow for more space in creating the alloy fibres she was using to face off against Eraserhead in the practical exam. When she's really focused, it seems she doesn't really care about modesty regardless of who's watching.
** However, it seems this only applies when in battle. Other times, she becomes rather mortified, like when she tricked into wearing a cheerleader outfit by Mineta.
* SkilledButNaive: WordOfGod stated this is what she is intended to be. The author thinks it would be interesting to have a powerful ability at the hand of a newbie.
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: She has the ability to generate any type of non-living matter from her body, and she uses it to create weapons 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.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Like Iida, she has a very mature physique for a 15-year old.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YoshimasaHosoya
[[quoteright:178:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fumikage_yokoyami_full_body_school_uniform.PNG]]
A student with a bird-like appearance. His Quirk, "Dark Shadow", manifests as a sort of shadow beast that lives within his body. Despite his looks and Quirk, he is actually quite righteous.
----
* AllEncompassingMantle: His hero costume features one.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: An extreme example, that bird head is quite misleading.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The power boost the Dark Shadow receives at nighttime is impressive, but it also brings a lot of suffering to Tokoyami and indiscriminately attacks anything that moves, be them friend, foe or just objects.
** BoringButPractical: Dark Shadow at daytime is a reliable and versatile Quirk, albeit a bit cowardly.
* 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.
* CastingAShadow: His Quirk is a LivingShadow that he can project from his body.
* CurbstompBattle: [[spoiler:Moonfish]] never stood a chance.
* 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.
** DarkIsEvil: While he, as a person, is not evil, his Dark Shadow becomes quite destructive when it gets out of his control, becoming a mass of shadows that tries to engulf him while attacking even those he consider friends.
* 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.
* GuardianEntity: The Dark Shadow.
* LivingShadow: The Dark Shadow appears to have its own mind and personality despite being just an extension of Tokoyami's body.
* LongRangeFighter: He is great at keeping enemies away from him, but has trouble if the enemy manages to close in through dodging or numbers.
* 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.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: He has a very evil-sounding, darkness-based name. "Tokoyami" literally means Eternal Darkness. This matches his powers perfectly, though not his personality.
* PettingZooPeople: He's somewhere in-between this and LittleBitBeastly. His head is bird-like in appearance, but everything else from the neck down is human.
* 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. Also, see LongRangeFighter above.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: At nighttime, his 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.
* TheStoic: One of the more cool headed students of 1-A, and overall a no-nonsense kind of person.
* ToothyBird: He's got a set of human-like choppers inside his beak.
* WeakenedByTheLight: The Dark Shadow becomes weaker when faced with light, but this also makes it easier to control for Tokoyami.

[[folder:Hanta Sero -- Cellophane]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Kiyotaka Furushima
[[quoteright:180:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hanta_sero_full_body_uniform.png]]
A young man whose Quirk, "Tape", allows him to create cellophane tape out of his elbows, which look like tape dispensers. He can use his tape for traps and mobility.
----
* BoringButPractical: Much like Mineta above, he specializes in traps more than direct combat. His Quirk is more versatile though.
** It doesn't seem so boring when he's swinging around like Franchise/SpiderMan, though.
* BuildingSwing: Again, just like good ol' Spidey.
* ButtMonkey: He is probably the biggest one next to Mineta.
* DuctTapeForEverything: What his Quirk boils down to, even though it's not exactly duct tape.
* TheGenericGuy: Described as a background character by WordOfGod, at least for now.
* 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).
* HeroicRROD: Ejecting too much tape causes him to suffer dry skin.
* InstantKnots: His tape can easily wrap around his intended target. His Quirk wouldn't be as useful otherwise.
* NeverLiveItDown: In-Universe, his [[CurbstompBattle crushing defeat]] against Todoroki in the Sports Festival.
* OneWayVisor: Featured in his hero costume.
* PunnyName: "Serohan" is the Japanese way to pronounce "Cellophane".

[[folder:Mashirao Ojiro -- Tail Man]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Kosuke Miyoshi
[[quoteright:190:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mashirao_ojiro_full_body_uniform.png]]
A student whose Quirk, "Tail", manifests in him [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin as a tail]]. He is also good at martial arts and has a deep sense of honor.
----
* BoringButPractical: His Quirk is as simple as it gets: a sturdy tail that can be used for attacking, movement or as a third arm. Very useful, but not exactly flashy.
* HonorBeforeReason: Quits the Sports Festival because he doesn't remember how he managed to advance (thanks to being a victim of MindManipulation) and thus he feels unworthy of participating any further.
* LittleBitBeastly: A tailed human.
* MartialArtsUniform: His hero costume is really close to one.
* MeaningfulName: "Mashirao" is a common Japanese name. It also includes the kanji for "tail".
* PrehensileTail: His Quirk. It's very thick and strong-looking too.
* SkintoneSclerae: Weirdly enough, they end up making him look more Asian than the rest of the cast (who are prominently Japanese). This is averted in the anime.
* TailSlap: His main method of attacking.
* WeakButSkilled: Although we haven't really seen him in action yet, he passed the combat heavy Heroics Department Entrance exam with nothing but a Quirk that just gives him a tail, with the rest being martial arts he learned. This is something of notice in an exam that favors students with powerful, flashy Quirks capable of destruction.
** He also managed to hold out against a group of foes by himself using hit-and-run tactics when the Villain Alliance attacked.

[[folder:Mina Ashido -- Pinky]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EriKitamura
[[quoteright:221:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mina_ashido_full_body_school_uniform.png]]
A strange-looking girl whose Quirk, "Acid", allows her to create a corrosive liquid, being also able to control its levels of solubility and viscosity. She is very emotional and easily excited, being one of the rowdier students.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: She has purplish pink skin, caused by the pigments found in her acid.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: An extreme example, she looks way more like a GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe than an actual human.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Acid is not exactly the most heroic of powers. Not a problem when she has to face robots or destroy objects, but she has to adjust herself against human enemies.
* BookDumb: Like Kaminari, she doesn't perform well in tests, despite having a highly versatile and useful Quirk and reaching the Top 8 of the School Festival Tournament.
* ColorCharacter: Try to guess.
* CuteMonsterGirl: An attractive, humanoid... something.
* HollywoodAcid: Her Quirk.
* HornedHumanoid: Has a small pair of horns.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Seems to have low self-esteem when comparing her abilities to others, despite being quite agile and competent whenever seen in action.
** Part of this reasoning could be, as she states, that her powers are [[BlessedWithSuck morally useless against living creatures]], since the entire Hero society is based around the idea that [[ThouShallNotKill Heroes are not allowed to take lethal measures]] against criminals, and are highly regulated in how their operate. Since acid is at best permanently scarring and at worst absolutely lethal, she's rarely able to use her Quirk on anything but inanimate objects.
* MeaningfulName: Her surname sounds like "acid", referring to her Quirk.
* MessyHair: Not unlike Midoriya's.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Her skin is resistant to her own acid, but using it consecutively can lead it to harm her.
* ShesGotLegs: In the character profile, the author quips that her thighs are "healthy".
* TechnicolorEyes: Her eyes have black sclerae combined with pink irises.
* TechnicolorToxin: Her acid is purplish pink for some reason.

[[folder:Kouji Kouda -- Anima]]
[[quoteright:179:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kouji_kouda_full_body_uniform.png]]
A quiet, gentle student with a rocky-like appearance. His Quirk, "Animal Voice", allows him to control animals. He usually communicates through sign language.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Despite his rocky appearance, he's probably human just like the rest of his classmates.
* AntiquatedLinguistics: When he finally speaks, he does it through this.
--> '''Kouda''': Please, go forth, oh band of creatures small, the time to vanquish the source of that cacophony is now, if that's all right...
--> '''Jirou''': You talk up a storm!!
* TheBeastmaster: His Quirk allows him to command animals.
* GentleGiant: He is one of the bigger students in the class. And is quite possibly the gentlest of the students too.
* HandSignals: His main way of communication.
* NatureLover: According to supplementary info. Not surprising considering his Quirk. Might also be a NatureHero, although he doesn't live in isolation.
* TheQuietOne: He doesn't speak much. He usually communicates through hand gestures or sign language and has so far only been shown talking when using his Quirk.
* RockMonster: His body appears to be made of rock, but he doesn't really look that monstrous.
* ShrinkingViolet: Very clearly a shy person, which explains why he's TheQuietOne.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He's afraid of insects, despite being able to control them.

[[folder:Rikidou Satou -- Sugar Man]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Tooru Nara
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rikidou_satou_full_body_uniform.png]]
A strong-looking student. His Quirk is "Sugar Dope", which allows him to power up through the ingestion of sugar.
----
* CaffeineBulletTime: His Quirk. By ingesting certain doses of sugar (10g), he becomes 5 times stronger with each dose, [[HourOfPower but it only lasts 3 minutes]] and his brain activity is slowly reduced per dose as well.
* DumbMuscle: His Quirk allows him to become stronger, but gradually dumber as well.
* FacialProfiling: Drawn with big lips on him.
* HeroicBuild: Very tall and muscular.
* HeroicRROD: The reduced brain activity that comes with his Quirk.
* HulkingOut: Becomes much bigger and more muscular the more he ingests sugar.
* LogicalWeakness: Implied. Because his Quirk requires consumption of sugar, it can be safe to assume that he's screwed if he doesn't have any.
* RealMenHateSugar: Inverted. Sugar actually makes him ''manlier''. His favorite food also happens to be cake.
* RealMenWearPink: Wears a pink tuxedo during the popularity poll announcement. "Sugar Man" is also not the manliest of names.
* SuperStrength: The main advantage of his Quirk.
