Pro Heroes

Gang Orca

Kugo Sakamata — Gang Orca

Killer Whale Hero

Species: Human
Quirk: Orcinus

The 10th-highest ranked hero in Japan, a tall, well-built man with an orca-like appearance. He employs Midoriya as an intern after the Sports Festival.

---

• Face of a Thug: His physique is that of a giant carnivorous beast but in his heart is a Pro Hero.
• Make Me Wanna Shout: Like an actual orca, he has sonar, which he can weaponize. He also uses this to locate hidden targets.

Gran Torino

Sorahiko Torino — Gran Torino

Species: Human
Quirk: Jet

An elderly, retired hero who offers Uraraka an internship. He was All Might's homeroom teacher and a good friend of Nana Shimura, making him one of the few who knows the full truth about One For All. His Quirk, "Jet", allows him to move at high speeds by taking in the air around him and releasing it through his feet for propulsion effect. Due to his age though, he can't use it for a long time.

---

• Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: He mentors Uraraka rather then Izuku.
  • He also mentored Thirteen and Hisashi.
• Cool Old Guy: Is very old but he can give most younger pro heroes a run for their money.
• Decomposite Character:He takes Max’s role as Xylene’s human lover.
  • He also takes Max's role of training young Earth based Plumbers.
• Good Is Not Soft: Most of his training involves kicking the crap out of his students.
• Honorary True Companion: While he is not a member of the Plumbers, he knows about aliens and assists them from time to time.
• Interspecies Romance:He was in a relationship with Xylene, an Uxorite.
• The Mentor: As in canon he mentors the eighth and ninth holder of One For All, All Might and Uraraka in place of Izuku.
  • At Nezu’s request he also takes on any UA students who want to become Plumbers as interns. Thirteen and Hisashi are examples of this.
• Secret Secret-Keeper: It's implied in Chapter 35 and then confirmed in the following chapter that he knows about aliens.

Endeavor

Enji Todoroki — Endeavor

Flame Hero

Species: Human
Quirk: Hellflame

Shoto Todoroki's father, the 2nd-highest ranked hero in Japan. As a pro hero, he's one of the best, beating out even All Might in the number of cases he's resolved. As a father, though? He leaves a lot to be desired.

---

• Abusive Parents: As per canon.
• Always Someone Better: Not only is he the Number Two Hero, behind All Might, but Heatblast is stated to be a better fire user than him.
• Berserk Button: Izuku Midoriya quickly becomes one to him for not only "tampering" with his son's head, but also because, it's implied, he reminds him of Hisashi Midoriya.
• Everyone Has Standards: Despite his hate for Hisashi, he still participates in the raid to save Izuku, because he is a hero.
• We Used to Be Friends: Hisashi was once friends with Endeavor before they had a falling out. By the present day, the two loathe each other.

Fat Gum

Taishiro Toyomitsu — Fat Gum

BMI Hero

Species: Human
Quirk: Fat Absorption

A large man whose strength is only rivaled by his appetite. His Quirk, "Fat Absorption", grants him a highly obese, dense body that can adhere to any objects that enter in contact with it, causing them to sink into his body afterward, it also works to store energy of hits received, but at the cost of his defensive fat.

---

• Beware the Silly Ones: Downplayed in that he doesn't really act silly, but his round, cartoonish appearance and Big Eater habits distract from the fact that he's an experienced pro hero who approaches confrontations with villains with the intent of finishing them as quickly as possible.
• Big Eater: His first appearance has him gobbling down an entire pan of takoyaki. On top of that, one of his own protégés relies on eating to bolster his Quirk.
• Big Fun: He's a jovial guy, and even carries around candy for the kids.
• Cast from Calories: He can absorb kinetic energy with his Quirk and then release it for a massive attack. However, he can only release the energy once and it burns away almost all of his body fat when used.
• Domino Mask: Sports one.
• Energy Absorption: Fat Gum's Quirk makes him soft and malleable, able to absorb kinetic energy into his body fat. He mostly uses this to protect people from dangers like Villains or bombs, but he can also release the stored energy for a devastating attack.
• Expy: Of Blob from X-Men, as he has the same strength and defense powers that are based on accumulating body fat. The difference being that Fat Gum is a hero while Blob is usually a villain.
• Gentle Giant: His height is listed at a whopping 250 cm (roughly 8'2"), making him the tallest member of the cast, so far, but he's a nice guy who dotes on his interns and carries around chocolates for the kids.
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: Having such a large, soft body isn't just great for tanking hits or entrapping villains. His Quirk also allows his fat to absorb kinetic energy. By burning this fat, he can focus the energy from hits he's absorbed into a powerful counter-attack.
• Kevlard: His Quirk gives a highly flexible and cushion-like obese body that can even submerge people within it.
• Shed Armor, Gain Speed: Or rather, gain power. The more he gets hit, the more energy he has to expend to keep them. But it also burns his fat quickly, and the stored impact can be unleashed as a Charged Attack.
• Shout-Out: His design is very reminiscent of Totoro.
• Super Cop: Before becoming a Pro Hero he was a police officer for the Tokyo PD.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Takoyaki, owing to his Kansai origins. He is even used as a mascot to promote takoyaki.
• We Used to Be Friends: Had a great working relationship with Cinder while he was still in the Tokyo PD, but after an incident that painted Hisashi as assisting villains, he's grown distrustful of the Pro Hero.

• Animal Theme Naming: Mandalay, Pixie-Bob, and Ragdoll are all named after different domestic cat breeds. Tiger is named after a large wild cat instead.
• Animal-Motif Team: Cats
• Animal-Themed Superbeing: The animal alias type; they're all cat-themed heroes in names and appearance, but their Quirks don't have anything to do with cats.
• Cat Girl: The overall theme of their hero costumes. They all wear fake cat tails, paw-like gloves, and headsets that resemble cat ears.
• Color-Coded Characters: Mandalay is red, Pixie-Bob is blue, Ragdoll is yellow, and Tiger is brown.

• True Companions: They're all really close friends outside of their work as heroes. In fact, they have been a team for 12 years, since they came together in high school — and bear in mind that full team hero offices are fairly rare and tend not to last long.

Shino Sosaki — Mandalay

Species: Human

The leader of the Wild Wild Pussycats. Her Quirk is "Telepath", which allows her to talk to multiple people at once through the mental transmission. She's the legal guardian of her nephew, Kota Izumi.

---

• Cool Aunt: She takes great care of her nephew Kota as her legal guardian, despite dealing with his aloof personality.
• Distracted Bythe Sexy: She telepathically flirts with Spinner during their fight to throw him off.
• Everyone Has Standards: While she does shout and form her pose during introducions, during the announcment of game's test of courage, all of Pussycats do some poses saying how students will pee their pants from fear, she's the only one just standing and making expressionless face
• Fights Like a Normal: Her Quirk isn't a physical one, so all of her superhero butt kicking is done with regular old-fashioned martial arts — and she's good at it too.
• Meaningful Name: Mandalay is the name of the second most important city of Burma, the place of origin of the popular Burmese cat breed, a close cousin to the Siamese cat, as well as being a cat breed in its own right.
• Nephewism: She's raising her orphaned nephew Kota.

• Telepathy: She can telepathically transmit thoughts to many people across a wide range, though she can only transmit thoughts and not receive them.
• The Leader: She is the leader of the Wild Wild Pussycats.
• Weak, but Skilled: Her Quirk allows her a fairly basic form of Telepathy, making her weak compared to Pixie-Bob and Tiger, and doesn't have the same uses as Ragdoll's Search Quirk. However, as shown during her fight with Spinner, she's a smart combatant, and was able to throw him off of his game a moment by sending him a "sexy" message

Ryuko Tsuchikawa — Pixie-Bob

Species: Human
Quirk: Earth Flow

A member of the Wild Wild Pussycats. Her Quirk, "Earth Flow", lets her control dirt and rock.

---

• Berserk Button: As Izuku learns mentioning her age.
• The Big Guy: In terms of Quirks, Pixie-Bob is by far the most powerful of the Pussycats. This is why the League of Villains knocks her out before revealing themselves during the attack on the summer camp.
• Dishing Out Dirt: Her Quirk allows her to manipulate dirt and rock.
• Enemy Summoner: Pixie-Bob's not a villain, but her Quirk can be used to create monstrous constructs made of dirt and stone that she can control. She's responsible for the "Forest of Beasts" that represents the first challenge for Class 1-A at the training camp.
• Genki Girl: Not to the level of Ragdoll, but she is a woman with a lot of energy.
• Hidden Depths: She came up with the name of and concept behind the team and that she set up the team's hero office.
• The Jailbait Wait: Played for Laughs. She "calls dibs" on Midoriya, Bakugo, Iida and Todoroki "in three years".
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: As loud and hyperactive she can be towards other people, and how insecure and self-conscious she acts about her age, she does care about her teammates' and students' well-being.
• Mrs. Robinson: While praising Midoriya, Iida, Bakugo, and Todoroki for defeating her magic beast, she says can't wait to see what their potential will be like in three years.
• Old Maid: Played for laughs. She's very sensitive about her age and, as Mandalay and Tiger point out, she's becoming quite desperate for a mate due to no longer being in her prime.
• Shoot the Mage First: Her Quirk is by far the most powerful of the Pussycats, and as a result, the League of Villains prioritizes taking her out first during their attack on the training camp.
• Signature Laugh: "Neko Neko" in Japanese, which is the word for cat. In the English dub, it was changed to "Meow Meow," the sound a cat makes.
• The Worf Effect: The Pussycat with the most powerful Quirk gets taken out quickly in order to show that the Vanguard Action Squad are a real threat.

Tomoko Shiretoko — Ragdoll

Species: Human

---

• Sensor Character: Thanks to her Quirk, she can track the location and weak points of up to 100 people at the same time.

The sole male member of the Wild Wild Pussycats. His Quirk, "Pilabody", allows him to stretch and flatten his body.

---

• Domino Mask: Wears one with his hero costume. When seen off-duty, it's shown that Tiger's eyes are actually no different if he's not wearing a mask, as they appear naturally featureless and white.
• Drill Sergeant Nasty:
  • He's in charge of improving physical Quirks during the summer camp and works the students under him to the bone.
  • He is personally responsible for Midoriya's training in the training camp and has worked the boy to the bone, angrily forcing him to go back and work harder whenever he felt that Midoriya was starting to slack off or getting distracted.
• Made of Iron: He is stronger and more ferocious than Rath.
• Monochromatic Eyes: His eyes are completely white with no pupils, even without his Domino Mask.
• Non-Standard Character Design: Tiger's face is drawn slightly differently than the rest of the Pussycats and most of the characters, with a more cat-like mouth and no noticeable pupils, which gives him a more menacing design.
• Odd Name Out: Tiger is the only member of his team who's named after a big cat rather than a breed of domestic cat. Fittingly, he's also the sole guy.
• The One Guy: He's a trans man among the otherwise all female Wild Wild Pussycats.

• Punny Name: Chatora is a portmanteau of tora, Japanese for "tiger", and chat, French for "cat".
