I'm always open to (constructive only) criticism!","description":"Shoto is a moderately tall and rather muscular young teenage man who is well-built for his age, stemming from his intense training as a child. He has short hair that doesn't pass his neck, with bangs that fall to his nose bridge, parted twice to avoid obscuring his vision. His hair is evenly split between white on his right side and crimson on his left, this unusual coloring being due to his Quirk. As another result, he also possesses heterochromia iridum, causing his quite thin and reserved eyes to have two differently colored irises; his left being turquoise, while his right is a dark gray. Additionally, he has a large burn scar on the left side of his face, which reaches from his hairline to halfway down his cheek. He usually has a serious expression, but despite this, several of the girls in his class have claimed that he is quite handsome, as Mina Ashido even goes as far as to say that he's the best-looking guy in Class 1-A.[6]\n\nDuring his time at Corusan Middle School, he wore a plain black gakuran uniform with yellow buttons.\n\nAt U.A., he wears the standard male uniform: a light gray blazer with dark turquoise trimmings over a white dress shirt, dark blue-green dress pants, and a red tie. He replaces the standard brown dress shoes with casual pale cyan and gray lace-up sneakers.\n\nHis initial Hero Costume consisted of a plain off-white shirt with matching pants and boots, with two beige straps going over his shoulders, which attach to a similarly colored tactical vest, functioning as a heater. He has what appears to be a material resembling ice covering his whole left side, knee up, with even his head being covered, with the eye socket glowing red, although it is detachable, which he wears to reject the fire aspect of his Quirk.\n\nHis updated costume consists of a dark blue heat-resistant jacket with elbow-length sleeves, its collar high, with a cooling/heating device within it and joined in the center by a gray clamp strap. His baggy pants are the same color as his jacket; he wears a metal-plated tactical vest with red accents, which now functions as both a heater and radiator, and white boots similar to his initial costume, with the soles equipped with spikes and a thin zipper running down the center of each of them, a darker pale gray. He also sports a beige utility belt with red accents around his waist, which can hold four little metal capsules containing medical supplies, with two hanging off the front and two on the back.\n\nIn preparation for the Provisional Hero License Exam, he adds two red wrist guards with metal plating, which help regulate his body temperature after his attacks, and his boots now have a set of straps on the top of the foot.\n\nFor Mission: Humarise, Shoto and his internees at the Endeavor Agency are given special advanced stealth costumes by the World Heroes Association for their mission to Otheon. Shoto designs his stealth costume to resemble the third variant, with the entire suit made of a neoprene black jacket and slim black pants with built-in knee pads, metal plates to regulate his body temperature, and longer sleeves. He also sports fingerless gloves, a black utility belt around his waist with silver ironings, and two silver plates on his shoulders with the letters \"WHA\" on them.\n\nSometime during Spring Break, Shoto further upgrades his costume, which has some visual similarities to his father's second costume. His wrist guards now feature armor-like bracing and are accompanied by plating from his wrist to his knuckles that can store up heat and cold to help condense his power (in the manga, they have straps and are colored a bit differently). His jacket, now more heat-resistant, features a large gray-blue T-shaped stripe, representing his last name, going from his waist to his armpits, and his utility belt is fully beige (having more red accents in the manga) and can now hold nine capsules, with two contained in two larger canisters strapped to his sides.[7] The costume also has a slightly darker shade of blue (a much darker color scheme in the manga). This costume is referred to as \"Costume Gamma.\"\n\nWhen using Phosphor, a large \"X\"-shaped flame (orange on the left and a turquoise-like color on the right) stretches outward from the center of his chest, crossing over his shoulders and cutting diagonally across his waist, with the center of this flame being white. His hair is also blown back, with his left half having frost in it, especially at the roots, while his right is blown around by hot air (this is more noticeable in the manga than the anime).\n\nIn the aftermath of the Final War, Shoto's hair is more frazzled from using his Quirk to stop Dabi's inferno, but it returns to normal after a while.\n\nEight years after the Final War, Shoto has grown taller, leaner, and more muscular with a sharper jawline, and his hair is shorter and bushier. His costume has mostly remained the same; the only changes are redesigned wrist guards with blue added, and his utility belt has only two larger canisters strapped to his sides, with his buckle being red on the left and blue on the right. His tactical vest has become slightly bulkier, and the T-pattern on his torso is now a vibrant, ice blue, with the texture being similar to his father's past costume, while the color resembles his eldest brother Toya's flames.\n\nShoto originally had a cold, aloof personality, which stemmed from his abusive upbringing and complicated family life. Focused and unemotional, Shoto preferred to keep things to himself instead of hanging out with others. After the events of the U.A. Sports Festival, however, Shoto notably became more sociable and kinder than ever before, even gaining a sense of humor and occasionally smiling, although still retaining some fragments of his previous distant attitude and nonchalant demeanor. After the Provisional Hero License Course, he began opening up more to his classmates and has lightened up from his usually serious demeanor. Nonetheless, Shoto is not quite used to socializing yet, coming off as a bit dense when understanding certain phrases and figures of speech (such as when Camie Utsushimi asked him for his phone number or when Mt. Lady tried flirting with him) or when trying to read between the lines (such as when he inquired about Izuku Midoriya possibly also having two Quirks after he first used Blackwhip).\n\nWhile usually quiet and reserved, Shoto initially possessed a moderate level of arrogance, which, combined with his solitary tendencies, sometimes made him take the initiative without considering the opinions of others, displaying confidence that he could take on any obstacles with his own strength. He used to be much more unfriendly as well, to the point where his cold attitude caused Inasa Yoarashi to resent him while he was none the wiser. Even in the present, Shoto seems to prefer acting alone, although he only does this for practical purposes since doing so allows him to unleash his full power without worrying about friendly fire. Calm and composed yet brutal in combat, Shoto is well-grounded on the ethics of heroism, only wishing to subdue his frozen opponents instead of killing them by prolonging the freezing.\n\nShoto infuriated with Endeavor.\nShoto infuriated with Endeavor.\n\nShoto once had a deep loathing for his fire abilities, which he inherited from Endeavor, as it symbolized his father's wickedness towards him and his mother as well as what he was born to be: a tool to surpass All Might, a fate that he detested. As such, Shoto decided to rely solely on his freezing power and never use the other half of his Quirk in battles (save only for melting his ice), going so far as to cover his left torso and arm with ice in his first Hero Costume to symbolize his rebellion against his father. Shoto often felt bothered by Endeavor's mere presence, and could barely contain his anger while talking to him, especially whenever the Pro Hero brought up the purpose he had intended for his son since before birth.\n\nIronically though, Shoto's animosity towards his father made him more like how Endeavor was, being apathetic and indifferent towards others while obsessively focusing on his own goal of rejecting his father. Shoto takes his rejection of his father to a new level during the U.A. Sports Festival, in which he was forced to use his flames during the cavalry battle against Izuku Midoriya. Upon noticing Izuku's closeness to All Might, seeing that the two were somehow connected and even believing at first that Izuku was All Might's illegitimate child, he sought to take Izuku down and win the festival using only his ice, believing that doing so would be the perfect way to reject and spite his father. Upon first meeting him, Inasa noticed that Shoto had the same hate-filled glare that Endeavor had due to his hatred driving him, and Izuku realized that Shoto was unable to look past his grudge, with his pain and anger holding him back from his full potential.\n\nShoto forgets his resentment for a moment after listening to Izuku's words.\nShoto forgets his resentment for a moment after listening to Izuku's words.\n\nDuring his match with Izuku in the U.A. Sports Festival, Izuku's speech made the memory of his mother's supportive words resurface, and for the first time since his childhood, Shoto used his firepower in combat. After the battle, Shoto had mixed feelings about using his left side, but after reconciling with his mother, Shoto eventually came to terms with the half he once hated and became willing to train it further, now realizing that it is his Quirk and not his father's. Despite being scarred by her as a young child, Shoto shows no hate or disliking towards his mother, visiting her often ever since the end of the Sports Festival. Shoto draws his heroic values from All Might, a trait he shares with Izuku and Katsuki Bakugo, having fond memories of watching the Symbol of Peace on television with Rei.\n\nDespite his difficult past, Shoto doesn't allow his hatred of Endeavor to completely cloud his judgement and still acknowledges him for his skills and capabilities as one of Japan's top Heroes. He chose to intern at his father's agency during the Hero Agency Internships and later the Hero Work-Studies program, although he made it clear that this was purely for his own benefit and learning experience rather than any desire to spend time with him. Shoto is quite reflective of his own growth, realizing how much no longer suppressing his past had changed his perspective and how better he became. Due to this, Shoto was not against his father deciding that he would try and make amends with his family and become a better person, knowing from experience that a single thing can change a person if they allow it to.\n\nShoto quietly horrified at watching his father nearly die.\nShoto quietly horrified at watching his father nearly die.\n\nHowever, Shoto's grudge towards Endeavor has not yet disappeared, even if he respects his father's ability as a Hero, self-admitting that such resentment can't vanish so easily and that he was wrong in trying to bury it. Having been denied a normal childhood so that his father could train him to realize his own selfish ambitions, Shoto still holds various psychological scars, which tend to reemerge when others compare him to Endeavor. Because of this and Izuku's influence, Shoto now strives to become a Hero, but without walking the same path his father did. Shoto even tells Endeavor straight to his face that he only intends to use him to improve himself and to cut all the \"caring father\" nonsense out in front of his friends, words that visibly affected Endeavor, who thought that his son was finally opening up to him.\n\nShoto remains relatively cold towards Endeavor and has made it clear that forgiveness for his past treatment of him and his mother is difficult, but has also demonstrated worry about his father's safety. Ever since Endeavor tried to repair his relationship with his family, Shoto has taken a cautious, yet hopeful approach to this development.[8] Notably, he is shown to still care for his father despite their poor relationship, being shocked when he was horribly injured during his battle against Hood, shouting at his father that he was watching him, and later collapsing from relief in front of his classmates and teacher after seeing that Endeavor had survived.\n\nShoto tells Endeavor that coming to his agency was his own decision.\nShoto tells Endeavor that coming to his agency was his own decision.\n\nHe also got permission to visit his home so he could see him, but once again gave Endeavor the cold shoulder while making a dry comment about his new scar. Unlike his brother Natsuo, Shoto does not seem against the possibility of forgiving his father; however, he has made it clear to Endeavor that he must earn it. While ruminating over the matter, Izuku believes that Shoto is preparing to forgive his father and is waiting for the right time to do so.[9]\n\nDuring the Paranormal Liberation War, Shoto was deeply shocked and devastated to learn that Dabi from the League of Villains was his seemingly deceased eldest brother, Toya, and was driven to a tearful rage upon learning that Dabi was responsible for their encounters with Starservant and Ending, especially when the latter villain had nearly killed Natsuo. Following the war while recovering in Central Hospital, Shoto sees his old self reflected in Dabi, realizing that his brother's hatred for their father led to Toya becoming a villain, and resolving that he must be the one to stop him.\n\nShoto still desires to learn more about Toya.\nShoto still desires to learn more about Toya.\n\nAfter discussing the matter with his mother and siblings however, Shoto offers his hand to a grieving Endeavor, realizing that it's not his fight alone and that their family must unite together in order to stop Dabi. Shoto also joins Class 1-A in tracking down a rogue Izuku, convincing him to return to U.A. and not to shoulder everyone's burdens by himself. Like Izuku, Shoto is faced with scrutiny by the public for being Dabi's brother and Endeavor's son, but resolves to help fix things along with the rest of his friends.\n\nBy the time of the Final War, Shoto faces Dabi and is determined to stop him, saying that even with their tragic past, his brother still became a villain and killed people of his own choice. Despite this, Shoto still expresses some sentiment towards his eldest brother, as seen before the war when he wishes to know more about him, such as what his favorite food is. Shoto later refuses Dabi's statement that they are opposites who will never mingle, saying that he will force their paths together, demonstrating that despite everything he has done, Shoto refuses to abandon his brother and yearns to save him as well. During this, Shoto fully embraces his growth, realizing how much his friends from U.A. have helped him free himself from his painful upbringing, thanking Class 1-A for reminding him that he isn't alone.\n\nShoto has chosen to partake in other interests outside of heroism.\nShoto has chosen to partake in other interests outside of heroism.\n\nEight years after the Final War, Shoto has graduated from U.A. High School and has achieved his goal of becoming a Pro Hero. While some of his awkward character has remained, he has made a name for himself as a hardworking Hero who treats all his fans equally and with respect. Just as he always wanted, Shoto has become his own Hero, with people thinking less and less of him as Endeavor's son. Looking back, Shoto recounts how people have told him that he fought against his cruel fate and fulfilled his destiny, wondering if he was part of a much larger story and stating that he would gladly fight for everyone's happiness in the present. He has also become a lot happier himself and now smiles much more frequently.\n\nThanks to Heroes now having more free time to spend, Shoto has also chosen to partake in some hobbies and explore his other interests outside of heroism. He decides to attend bowl and chopstick making classes in Ichikawa, having realized his love of eating while praying at Toya's altar.\n\nOverall Abilities: Having been trained by his father, Endeavor, at a young age, Shoto entered U.A. High School through recommendations and has been established as one of the most powerful students in Class 1-A. He earned 2nd place in both the Quirk Apprehension Test and U.A. Sports Festival. Shoto also has a great handle over his versatile and powerful Quirk, Half-Cold Half-Hot, which grants him incredible dual-element capabilities. Using the right side of his body, Shoto can drastically lower temperatures and freeze anything he touches, and generate ice that he can freely mold into numerous constructs that include ice waves to cover large areas and ice barriers for defense.[4][10][11][12]\n\nShoto also employs his cryokinetic abilities for mobility purposes, such as stacking ice shards behind his back to propel himself forward, glaciating the ground to skate on it, or his signature move, creating trails of ice on which he can surf.[13][14][15] From the left side of his body, Shoto can eloquently increase thermokinetics and release scorching hot flames in the form of consuming streams or protective waves.[16] Overall, Shoto has tremendous power, but because of past decisions and circumstances, such as his intentional neglect of one half of his Quirk, he has yet to reach his full potential.\n\nShoto easily freezes the massive faux villain bot.\nShoto easily freezes the massive faux villain bot.\n\nAt the U.S.J., Shoto could overpower small-time villains at the Landslide Zone by himself and later showcased elite judgment, combat awareness, and athletic ability during the U.A. Sports Festival.[17][18] At the festival, Shoto was able to neutralize a Villain Bot-Executor, defeat his swift classmates, Hanta Sero and Tenya Ida, as well as fight on par with Izuku for a prolonged period to a nigh-draw.\n\nIn his battle against Izuku, a fan claimed that Shoto was already stronger than the average Pro Hero. When he was pitted against Katsuki Bakugo in the final round of the Sports Festival, there was a chance Shoto could've won the match using his fire powers. Still, due to inner turmoil, he extinguished his inferno, leaving him open to Katsuki's Howitzer Impact and losing the match. Starting with the Hosu Incident, Shoto began the full embracement of his left side, as well as his pyro-cryogenic interchangeability, particularly when he, Izuku, and Tenya faced off against the Hero Killer: Stain. Following his run-in with the Hero Killer, Shoto is recognized as one of strongest students of Class 1-A, as noted by Pixie-Bob.[19]\n\nWith help from his friends, Shoto freezes the fully powered Chimera into hibernation.\nWith help from his friends, Shoto freezes the fully powered Chimera into hibernation.\n\nWhile Shoto may possess full supremacy over his cryokinesis, the control over his pyrokinesis could have been more effective, especially in comparison to that of Endeavor. However, after the third match of the Joint Training Battle, Shoto realized that he had disregarded his left side for too long, which had put him and his team in a disadvantage and resolved to achieve greater mastery over his pyrokinetic abilities by learning the fundamentals of Flashfire Fist, Endeavor's signature technique. Thanks to his second internship, Shoto's handling over his left side has improved significantly, as he can now use his pyrokinesis in a new variety of ways, such as boosting his movement speed, launching himself through the air, and attacking with blaze-powered punches.\n\nAlthough Shoto is powerful, contending with individuals such as Stain, Eraser Head, Wolfram, Moonfish, Mr. Compress, Gang Orca, Chimera, Ending, and Tomura Shigaraki require Shoto's effective camaraderie with multiple people to prevail against such formidable opponents, excluding Leviathan. That was hardly the case during the climax of the Paranormal Liberation War, wherein he faced his brother Dabi in a battle of flames that nearly resulted in Shoto being burned alive, had it not been for Izuku's brief intervention. As the body-charring Todoroki brothers resumed their full-power pyrokinetic clash, Dabi chose to continue another time, as killing him without Endeavor watching would be pointless.\n\nShoto overpowers and defeats a seemingly stronger Dabi.\nShoto overpowers and defeats a seemingly stronger Dabi.\n\nDuring Class A's mission to bring Izuku back to U.A., after he left following the war events, Shoto displayed an even greater mastery over his cryokinetic abilities. In particular, his control over the shape of his ice has become much more refined, forming a massive vertical pillar of ice with Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall, and even creating a smooth curved ramp without the need for a solid framework. Furthermore, he's shown the ability to use his signature move, Flashfreeze Heatwave, without needing to cool the air down first; now he can put his hands together and unleash the power of both sides at once to create the same effect.\n\nDue to his training with the Pussycats, Shoto has gained increased efficiency over his Half-Cold Half-Hot Quirk, allowing him to fight on equal terms with Dabi come the Final War. Despite Dabi's Blueflame Quirk being thermally superior (burning at temperatures exceeding 3000°F), Shoto's newly acquired cold flames can compensate for his brother's flames, giving him two Quirks worth of power strong enough to freeze Kamino and overpower Dabi, besting his older brother (though with some assistance from the Flaming Sidekickers), with minimal injuries. However, Shoto was caught off-guard by Dabi's Awakening-like power enhancement, which allowed him to copy Shoto's Phosphor technique before getting warped away to face Endeavor. Later on, with the aid of Tenya, Shoto was able to arrive at Gunga Mountain Villa and assist his family in routing Dabi's pending self-destruction by unleashing a stronger version of Great Glacial Aegir to defeat his eldest brother once and for all.\n\nEnhanced Durability: Shoto has proven himself to be quite resilient, being able to withstand multiple attacks from Izuku, including a direct, One For All-enhanced punch at 5% strength to the stomach, without sustaining major injuries.[20] During his fight with Leviathan, Shoto was able to withstand his punch, which was strong enough to destroy the floor of the Humarise headquarters. One of the most impressive examples of Shoto's resilience, was when he endured the superior pyrokinesis of Dabi, which exceeded even Endeavor's firepower. By the Final War, Dabi's Jet Burn was unable to do anything more other than superficial damage.\nCold Resistance: Shoto holds resistance to freezing cold and the ability to tolerate extremely low temperatures, inherited from his mother.\nHeat Resistance: Shoto holds resistance to scorching heat and the ability to endure exceedingly high temperatures, inherited from his father. This gave him an advantage during his fights with opponents like Dabi, who utilized flame-based attacks.\nEnhanced Stamina: Shoto has shown to endure combat even while injured. For example, in his battle with Stain, he was able to continue fighting and supporting his allies despite suffering from multiple bleeding injuries on his arm and face,[16] and was still able to drag the villain's unconscious body once the battle is over.[21] When he engaged Dabi in a pyrokinetic brawl, Shoto continued to fight on despite his body becoming charred.\nEnhanced Agility: Shoto is fast, agile, and has quick reflexes. He was able to keep first place during most of the Obstacle Race during the Sports Festival thanks to his athletic ability. He repeatedly created ice walls within a split second to prevent himself from getting thrown out of the ring through his matchups with Izuku and Katsuki.[12][18] He was the only one in Class 1-A capable of at least partly reacting to and dodging Tenya's Recipro Burst. He could also partially dodge a knife thrown at his face and several other attacks by Stain, a notably swift opponent.[16]\nShoto interrogates the frozen villians.\nShoto interrogates the frozen villians.\n\nKeen Intellect: Shoto has proven to be a very intelligent person. And despite his training, Shoto is also very skilled in academics, having scored 5th place in the midterms.[22] During the U.S.J. Incident, Shoto accurately extrapolated that the invading villains had a Quirk user amongst their ranks that could jam communications. At the same time, he realized the attacking villains had an agenda and interrogated some of them to get answers.[23] Shoto's theory was proven correct, as the villain's goal was to kill All Might. Shoto also deduced Izuku had a connection to All Might after observing Izuku's power and matching it to that of All Might when the latter was fighting Nomu.\n\nThough on point about Izuku's link to the Symbol of Peace, Shoto incorrectly believed Izuku might be All Might's secret love child.[24] Shortly before the Hosu Incident, Shoto noticed the look of anger in Tenya's eyes and easily surmised that he was only taking up an internship in Hosu City to seek vengeance on the Hero Killer: Stain. While on patrol in Hosu, Shoto was able to work out the location of Izuku, Tenya, and Stain from an emergency call and arrive in time; however, he did complain it took a while, as Izuku didn't relay more than the exact location.[25]\n\nShoto questions Izuku, believing there is a connection with him and All Might.\nShoto questions Izuku, believing there is a connection with him and All Might.\n\nWhen he and Momo Yaoyorozu were paired together to face Eraser Head for their First Term Final Exam, Shoto suggested that Momo continuously creates random objects until she was unable to do so, which would signify that the Eraser Hero is nearby, all in attempt to lure him out and act as a diversion so Momo can make her way to the escape gate. Shoto's strategy worked, but as explained by Eraser Head, it was too offensive-oriented, as Shoto had placed the burden on himself and needed to trust Momo more. After being scolded by his teacher and approached by his returning classmate, Shoto admitted to being aware of Momo having a plan from the start of their matchup and not inquiring about it before properly cooperating with her.\n\nObserving the second match of the Joint Training Battle involving the teams of Momo and Itsuka Kendo, Shoto noticed a flaw in Itsuka's precautionary modus operandi in separating Momo from her Class 1-A teammates. He elucidated that if she wanted to be cautious of Momo, then Itsuka would have had her entire team overwhelm the Everything Hero at the beginning of the match.[26] After witnessing Izuku's awakening of a second Quirk, Shoto speculated that the One For All inheritor may be like him, having multiple powers in one singular ability, but Shoto didn't yet recognize the true depth of Izuku's new power.[27]\n\nHaving regained his lost conviction, Shoto finally uses his flames.\nHaving regained his lost conviction, Shoto finally uses his flames.\n\nIndomitable Will: Shoto has a highly undaunted spirit, not easily giving in to intimidation that would disrupt his focus, maintaining a cool head, and pushing through adversity. Initially, Shoto was jaded and aloof due to the abuse he and his family received from Endeavor's previous callousness, resulting in Shoto refusing to use his left side in battles as a sign of rejecting his father. Once the U.A. Sports Festival was underway, Shoto was considerably hellbent on not using his fire powers. Still, this misguided determination was corrected when he faced Izuku, who vehemently expressed that those powers belong to Shoto, nobody else. This encouragement triggered a latent memory within Shoto's psyche, as he recalled how his mother, Rei Todoroki, and All Might said those exact words that inspired Shoto to be a hero who can put people at ease with a smile, just like All Might himself.\n\nRemembering both these passionate words and his resolve, Shoto was free from the turmoil that stirred inside of him, finally used the power housed within his left side, and expressed how he, like Izuku, will be a hero and was grateful to Izuku for saving him from the emotional shackles that were weighing him down.\n\nRecalling Izuku’s words of encouragement and Endeavor's advice, Shoto pushes past his limits and unleashes the full might of his flames.\nRecalling Izuku’s words of encouragement and Endeavor's advice, Shoto pushes past his limits and unleashes the full might of his flames.\n\nUnfortunately, despite willingly using the power of his left side, Shoto still had some level of uncertainty afterward. While battling Katsuki, as Eraser Head explained, Shoto lost his spark following his previous match with Izuku, causing him not to give 100% of his strength. As Shoto became paralyzed with doubt, Izuku cheered him on, encouraging him to do his best, once again reigniting Shoto's will to fight and use his ignikinesis. Yet at the last second, before clashing with Katsuki, Shoto's inner turmoil was too prevalent, causing him to extinguish his conflagration and, in turn, lose the battle against Katsuki. Following the Sports Festival, Shoto has fortified his drive, becoming more than willing to use his pyrokinetic abilities in battle and even having the courage to finally face his mother, Rei, who previously, albeit in a mentally unstable state, gave Shoto the scar over his left eye.\n\nWhen the Provisional License Exam occurred, Shoto's will was tested again when he had a major altercation with Inasa Yoarashi, having coldly rebuffing the aerokinetic warm personality when the two met at the U.A. Recommendation Entrance Exam for recommended students. Shoto realized that he still hadn't moved past Endeavor's maltreatment, and his horrid attitude led to Inasa developing his hateful disposition towards Shoto himself. The infighting between the two elemental users resulted in them being repeatedly unable to land an attack on Gang Orca and were left at the mercy of him and his sidekicks. Soon after, however, Izuku arrived on the scene and scolded Shoto and Inasa for their actions, making the weakened students realize their mistake of being uncooperative with one another. The pair reaffirmed their convictions, put their differences aside, and finally worked together despite being incapacitated. Unfortunately, their conflict cost them the licensing exam, and they had to take remedial courses to make up for their imprudence and failure. Having undergone self-reflection, Shoto and Inasa displayed fully mutual congeniality towards each other when they crossed paths again at the Remedial Exam.\n\nIn a tearful rage, Shoto battles his insane brother Dabi.\nIn a tearful rage, Shoto battles his insane brother Dabi.\n\nDuring the third match of the Joint Training Battle, Shoto was pressured by Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu but could recall Endeavor's counsel on bringing his inferno to the limit and then surpassing that very apex. This advice proved pivotal, as Shoto, also recollecting Izuku's words of encouragement, understood that if he wants to become the hero he desires to be, he has to go beyond what his body and Quirk can do. His will sparked again; Shoto brought his pyrokinesis to the limit, equaling the potency of Endeavor's own flames, and was able to hold his own against Tetsutetsu better and put the latter's metal skin at risk of melting. In the climax of the Paranormal Liberation War, Shoto's spirit took a significant blow when Dabi revealed his true identity as Toya Todoroki, Shoto's eldest sibling who was thought to have been deceased. Discovering that Toya was alive for years, became a villain, and orchestrated the recent encounters with Hood, Starservant, and Ending, Shoto was sent into a tearful rage. Despite these revelations, Shoto remained steadfast and was more than willing to engage his corrupted brother, not wavering when the Todoroki brothers clashed despite Toya's superior abilities.\n\nQuirk\nShoto using his fire and ice powers simultaneously.\nShoto using his fire and ice powers simultaneously.\n\nHalf-Cold Half-Hot (半はん冷れい半はん燃ねん Hanrei Han'nen?): Shoto's Quirk gives him the ability to generate ice from the right side of his body, and flames from his left side.\n\nDue to years of rejecting his father, Shoto has developed a habit of favoring ice, even when fire would be a better option. This grudge also caused him to have difficulty controlling his flames. While he is capable of using both elements simultaneously, he isn't used to doing this and still needs to practice dual wielding. While training for his ultimate move, he claimed that using both abilities at the same time slows him down. If he overuses one element without utilizing the other, then his own body temperature will suffer; the ice half will cause frostbite and the fire half will cause heatstroke. Until his bodily limit is reached, however, neither has any visible effect on his body. Shoto can easily negate this weakness by alternating between ice and fire.\n\nAs part of his training, Shoto sat in a barrel of water and alternated between using ice and fire to regulate the temperature of the water. It helped his body become accustomed to the cold, and he learned better control over his flames.\n\nFurther development of the Quirk and mastery over his left side has allowed Shoto to combine his fire and ice into a \"cold fire,\" making use of his circulatory system to move the hot and cold blood around his body. This gives Shoto immunity to damage from heat-based Quirks, as well as improved defensive and offensive capabilities, especially against those with such Quirks. However, this way of using his Quirk requires a certain level of concentration in order to maintain it; otherwise, it will falter and dissipate.[28]\n\nTrivia\nShoto's surname contains the kanji for \"to roar, a roaring fire\" (轟 todoroki?), and his first name contains \"burning\" (焦 shō?) and \"freezing\" (凍 to?).\n\"Todoroki\" is a relatively common Japanese surname.\nHis Hero Name \"Shoto\" (ショート Shōto) is written in katakana as an act of self-realization. It removes the meaning of the original spelling in kanji, allowing him to define himself outside of Endeavor's ambitions and desires.\nAccording to Shoto's Volume 2 profile:\nHis favorite food is Zaru (cold) Soba.\nHe may have been the first Class 1-A character conceived after Izuku, Katsuki, and Ochaco, who were planned since way before the school setting was decided.\nShoto's known U.A. academic data is as follows:\nRanked 2nd in the U.A.

Sports Festival performance, making him the most nominated Class 1-A student.\nSince he failed the Provisional Hero License Exam, he scored below 50.\nShoto's rankings in the Popularity Polls are as follows:\nShoto ranked 2nd in the first and fourth Popularity Polls.\nShoto ranked 3rd in the second, third, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and the Global Popularity Polls.\nHe may be partially based on the Marvel Comics character Thermite, who can also project heat on his left side and cold on his right side, and needed a regulatory pack to manage his body temperature.\nAccording to Shoto's Ultra Analysis profile:\nAside from being Endeavor's son, Shoto also gained popularity for his performance in the Sports Festival and for helping Katsuki defeat Cider House.\nHis personality describes him as \"a cool and hot airhead\".\nSince Shoto's eyes and hair show physical separation where the halves of his Quirk divide, he may have the genetic anomaly known as chimerism, which would make him a chimera.\nAccording to the Ultra Age Q&A:\nAs a Pro Hero, Shoto greets fans by waving at them politely and always looks at them in the eye before signing autographs. These traits were inspired by Japanese football player Kaoru Mitoma.\nKohei Horikoshi doesn't feel that Shoto is still an \"airhead\" as an adult, but does answer that he still takes what people say at face value.\nShoto and Izuku share the same costume designer.\nShoto is so far the only student to have gone through a radical change of costume, having abandoned all elements of his first one except for the boots.\nIronically, Shoto accepting the fire aspect of his Quirk resulted in his costume and support gear becoming more like his father's.[37]\nAs a child, Shoto is voiced by Kei Shindō, who also voices Kyoka Jiro, Fuyumi Todoroki, and Kinoko Komori.\nQuotes\n(To Izuku) \"Never using my bastard of a father's Quirk...

He has short hair that doesn't pass his neck, with bangs that fall to his nose bridge, parted twice to avoid obscuring his vision. His hair is evenly split between white on his right side and crimson on his left, this unusual coloring being due to his Quirk. As another result, he also possesses heterochromia iridum, causing his quite thin and reserved eyes to have two differently colored irises; his left being turquoise, while his right is a dark gray. Additionally, he has a large burn scar on the left side of his face, which reaches from his hairline to halfway down his cheek. He usually has a serious expression, but despite this, several of the girls in his class have claimed that he is quite handsome, as Mina Ashido even goes as far as to say that he's the best-looking guy in Class 1-A.[6]\n\nDuring his time at Corusan Middle School, he wore a plain black gakuran uniform with yellow buttons.\n\nAt U.A., he wears the standard male uniform: a light gray blazer with dark turquoise trimmings over a white dress shirt, dark blue-green dress pants, and a red tie. He replaces the standard brown dress shoes with casual pale cyan and gray lace-up sneakers.\n\nHis initial Hero Costume consisted of a plain off-white shirt with matching pants and boots, with two beige straps going over his shoulders, which attach to a similarly colored tactical vest, functioning as a heater. He has what appears to be a material resembling ice covering his whole left side, knee up, with even his head being covered, with the eye socket glowing red, although it is detachable, which he wears to reject the fire aspect of his Quirk.\n\nHis updated costume consists of a dark blue heat-resistant jacket with elbow-length sleeves, its collar high, with a cooling/heating device within it and joined in the center by a gray clamp strap. His baggy pants are the same color as his jacket; he wears a metal-plated tactical vest with red accents, which now functions as both a heater and radiator, and white boots similar to his initial costume, with the soles equipped with spikes and a thin zipper running down the center of each of them, a darker pale gray. He also sports a beige utility belt with red accents around his waist, which can hold four little metal capsules containing medical supplies, with two hanging off the front and two on the back.\n\nIn preparation for the Provisional Hero License Exam, he adds two red wrist guards with metal plating, which help regulate his body temperature after his attacks, and his boots now have a set of straps on the top of the foot.\n\nFor Mission: Humarise, Shoto and his internees at the Endeavor Agency are given special advanced stealth costumes by the World Heroes Association for their mission to Otheon. Shoto designs his stealth costume to resemble the third variant, with the entire suit made of a neoprene black jacket and slim black pants with built-in knee pads, metal plates to regulate his body temperature, and longer sleeves. He also sports fingerless gloves, a black utility belt around his waist with silver ironings, and two silver plates on his shoulders with the letters \"WHA\" on them.\n\nSometime during Spring Break, Shoto further upgrades his costume, which has some visual similarities to his father's second costume. His wrist guards now feature armor-like bracing and are accompanied by plating from his wrist to his knuckles that can store up heat and cold to help condense his power (in the manga, they have straps and are colored a bit differently). His jacket, now more heat-resistant, features a large gray-blue T-shaped stripe, representing his last name, going from his waist to his armpits, and his utility belt is fully beige (having more red accents in the manga) and can now hold nine capsules, with two contained in two larger canisters strapped to his sides.[7] The costume also has a slightly darker shade of blue (a much darker color scheme in the manga). This costume is referred to as \"Costume Gamma.\"\n\nWhen using Phosphor, a large \"X\"-shaped flame (orange on the left and a turquoise-like color on the right) stretches outward from the center of his chest, crossing over his shoulders and cutting diagonally across his waist, with the center of this flame being white. His hair is also blown back, with his left half having frost in it, especially at the roots, while his right is blown around by hot air (this is more noticeable in the manga than the anime).\n\nIn the aftermath of the Final War, Shoto's hair is more frazzled from using his Quirk to stop Dabi's inferno, but it returns to normal after a while.\n\nEight years after the Final War, Shoto has grown taller, leaner, and more muscular with a sharper jawline, and his hair is shorter and bushier. His costume has mostly remained the same; the only changes are redesigned wrist guards with blue added, and his utility belt has only two larger canisters strapped to his sides, with his buckle being red on the left and blue on the right. His tactical vest has become slightly bulkier, and the T-pattern on his torso is now a vibrant, ice blue, with the texture being similar to his father's past costume, while the color resembles his eldest brother Toya's flames.\n\nShoto originally had a cold, aloof personality, which stemmed from his abusive upbringing and complicated family life. Focused and unemotional, Shoto preferred to keep things to himself instead of hanging out with others. After the events of the U.A. Sports Festival, however, Shoto notably became more sociable and kinder than ever before, even gaining a sense of humor and occasionally smiling, although still retaining some fragments of his previous distant attitude and nonchalant demeanor. After the Provisional Hero License Course, he began opening up more to his classmates and has lightened up from his usually serious demeanor. Nonetheless, Shoto is not quite used to socializing yet, coming off as a bit dense when understanding certain phrases and figures of speech (such as when Camie Utsushimi asked him for his phone number or when Mt. Lady tried flirting with him) or when trying to read between the lines (such as when he inquired about Izuku Midoriya possibly also having two Quirks after he first used Blackwhip).\n\nWhile usually quiet and reserved, Shoto initially possessed a moderate level of arrogance, which, combined with his solitary tendencies, sometimes made him take the initiative without considering the opinions of others, displaying confidence that he could take on any obstacles with his own strength. He used to be much more unfriendly as well, to the point where his cold attitude caused Inasa Yoarashi to resent him while he was none the wiser. Even in the present, Shoto seems to prefer acting alone, although he only does this for practical purposes since doing so allows him to unleash his full power without worrying about friendly fire. Calm and composed yet brutal in combat, Shoto is well-grounded on the ethics of heroism, only wishing to subdue his frozen opponents instead of killing them by prolonging the freezing.\n\nShoto infuriated with Endeavor.\nShoto infuriated with Endeavor.\n\nShoto once had a deep loathing for his fire abilities, which he inherited from Endeavor, as it symbolized his father's wickedness towards him and his mother as well as what he was born to be: a tool to surpass All Might, a fate that he detested. As such, Shoto decided to rely solely on his freezing power and never use the other half of his Quirk in battles (save only for melting his ice), going so far as to cover his left torso and arm with ice in his first Hero Costume to symbolize his rebellion against his father. Shoto often felt bothered by Endeavor's mere presence, and could barely contain his anger while talking to him, especially whenever the Pro Hero brought up the purpose he had intended for his son since before birth.\n\nIronically though, Shoto's animosity towards his father made him more like how Endeavor was, being apathetic and indifferent towards others while obsessively focusing on his own goal of rejecting his father. Shoto takes his rejection of his father to a new level during the U.A. Sports Festival, in which he was forced to use his flames during the cavalry battle against Izuku Midoriya. Upon noticing Izuku's closeness to All Might, seeing that the two were somehow connected and even believing at first that Izuku was All Might's illegitimate child, he sought to take Izuku down and win the festival using only his ice, believing that doing so would be the perfect way to reject and spite his father. Upon first meeting him, Inasa noticed that Shoto had the same hate-filled glare that Endeavor had due to his hatred driving him, and Izuku realized that Shoto was unable to look past his grudge, with his pain and anger holding him back from his full potential.\n\nShoto forgets his resentment for a moment after listening to Izuku's words.\nShoto forgets his resentment for a moment after listening to Izuku's words.\n\nDuring his match with Izuku in the U.A. Sports Festival, Izuku's speech made the memory of his mother's supportive words resurface, and for the first time since his childhood, Shoto used his firepower in combat. After the battle, Shoto had mixed feelings about using his left side, but after reconciling with his mother, Shoto eventually came to terms with the half he once hated and became willing to train it further, now realizing that it is his Quirk and not his father's. Despite being scarred by her as a young child, Shoto shows no hate or disliking towards his mother, visiting her often ever since the end of the Sports Festival. Shoto draws his heroic values from All Might, a trait he shares with Izuku and Katsuki Bakugo, having fond memories of watching the Symbol of Peace on television with Rei.\n\nDespite his difficult past, Shoto doesn't allow his hatred of Endeavor to completely cloud his judgement and still acknowledges him for his skills and capabilities as one of Japan's top Heroes. He chose to intern at his father's agency during the Hero Agency Internships and later the Hero Work-Studies program, although he made it clear that this was purely for his own benefit and learning experience rather than any desire to spend time with him. Shoto is quite reflective of his own growth, realizing how much no longer suppressing his past had changed his perspective and how better he became. Due to this, Shoto was not against his father deciding that he would try and make amends with his family and become a better person, knowing from experience that a single thing can change a person if they allow it to.\n\nShoto quietly horrified at watching his father nearly die.\nShoto quietly horrified at watching his father nearly die.\n\nHowever, Shoto's grudge towards Endeavor has not yet disappeared, even if he respects his father's ability as a Hero, self-admitting that such resentment can't vanish so easily and that he was wrong in trying to bury it. Having been denied a normal childhood so that his father could train him to realize his own selfish ambitions, Shoto still holds various psychological scars, which tend to reemerge when others compare him to Endeavor. Because of this and Izuku's influence, Shoto now strives to become a Hero, but without walking the same path his father did. Shoto even tells Endeavor straight to his face that he only intends to use him to improve himself and to cut all the \"caring father\" nonsense out in front of his friends, words that visibly affected Endeavor, who thought that his son was finally opening up to him.\n\nShoto remains relatively cold towards Endeavor and has made it clear that forgiveness for his past treatment of him and his mother is difficult, but has also demonstrated worry about his father's safety. Ever since Endeavor tried to repair his relationship with his family, Shoto has taken a cautious, yet hopeful approach to this development.[8] Notably, he is shown to still care for his father despite their poor relationship, being shocked when he was horribly injured during his battle against Hood, shouting at his father that he was watching him, and later collapsing from relief in front of his classmates and teacher after seeing that Endeavor had survived.\n\nShoto tells Endeavor that coming to his agency was his own decision.\nShoto tells Endeavor that coming to his agency was his own decision.\n\nHe also got permission to visit his home so he could see him, but once again gave Endeavor the cold shoulder while making a dry comment about his new scar. Unlike his brother Natsuo, Shoto does not seem against the possibility of forgiving his father; however, he has made it clear to Endeavor that he must earn it. While ruminating over the matter, Izuku believes that Shoto is preparing to forgive his father and is waiting for the right time to do so.[9]\n\nDuring the Paranormal Liberation War, Shoto was deeply shocked and devastated to learn that Dabi from the League of Villains was his seemingly deceased eldest brother, Toya, and was driven to a tearful rage upon learning that Dabi was responsible for their encounters with Starservant and Ending, especially when the latter villain had nearly killed Natsuo. Following the war while recovering in Central Hospital, Shoto sees his old self reflected in Dabi, realizing that his brother's hatred for their father led to Toya becoming a villain, and resolving that he must be the one to stop him.\n\nShoto still desires to learn more about Toya.\nShoto still desires to learn more about Toya.\n\nAfter discussing the matter with his mother and siblings however, Shoto offers his hand to a grieving Endeavor, realizing that it's not his fight alone and that their family must unite together in order to stop Dabi. Shoto also joins Class 1-A in tracking down a rogue Izuku, convincing him to return to U.A. and not to shoulder everyone's burdens by himself. Like Izuku, Shoto is faced with scrutiny by the public for being Dabi's brother and Endeavor's son, but resolves to help fix things along with the rest of his friends.\n\nBy the time of the Final War, Shoto faces Dabi and is determined to stop him, saying that even with their tragic past, his brother still became a villain and killed people of his own choice. Despite this, Shoto still expresses some sentiment towards his eldest brother, as seen before the war when he wishes to know more about him, such as what his favorite food is. Shoto later refuses Dabi's statement that they are opposites who will never mingle, saying that he will force their paths together, demonstrating that despite everything he has done, Shoto refuses to abandon his brother and yearns to save him as well. During this, Shoto fully embraces his growth, realizing how much his friends from U.A. have helped him free himself from his painful upbringing, thanking Class 1-A for reminding him that he isn't alone.\n\nShoto has chosen to partake in other interests outside of heroism.\nShoto has chosen to partake in other interests outside of heroism.\n\nEight years after the Final War, Shoto has graduated from U.A. High School and has achieved his goal of becoming a Pro Hero. While some of his awkward character has remained, he has made a name for himself as a hardworking Hero who treats all his fans equally and with respect. Just as he always wanted, Shoto has become his own Hero, with people thinking less and less of him as Endeavor's son. Looking back, Shoto recounts how people have told him that he fought against his cruel fate and fulfilled his destiny, wondering if he was part of a much larger story and stating that he would gladly fight for everyone's happiness in the present. He has also become a lot happier himself and now smiles much more frequently.\n\nThanks to Heroes now having more free time to spend, Shoto has also chosen to partake in some hobbies and explore his other interests outside of heroism. He decides to attend bowl and chopstick making classes in Ichikawa, having realized his love of eating while praying at Toya's altar.\n\nOverall Abilities: Having been trained by his father, Endeavor, at a young age, Shoto entered U.A. High School through recommendations and has been established as one of the most powerful students in Class 1-A. He earned 2nd place in both the Quirk Apprehension Test and U.A. Sports Festival. Shoto also has a great handle over his versatile and powerful Quirk, Half-Cold Half-Hot, which grants him incredible dual-element capabilities. Using the right side of his body, Shoto can drastically lower temperatures and freeze anything he touches, and generate ice that he can freely mold into numerous constructs that include ice waves to cover large areas and ice barriers for defense.[4][10][11][12]\n\nShoto also employs his cryokinetic abilities for mobility purposes, such as stacking ice shards behind his back to propel himself forward, glaciating the ground to skate on it, or his signature move, creating trails of ice on which he can surf.[13][14][15] From the left side of his body, Shoto can eloquently increase thermokinetics and release scorching hot flames in the form of consuming streams or protective waves.[16] Overall, Shoto has tremendous power, but because of past decisions and circumstances, such as his intentional neglect of one half of his Quirk, he has yet to reach his full potential.\n\nShoto easily freezes the massive faux villain bot.\nShoto easily freezes the massive faux villain bot.\n\nAt the U.S.J., Shoto could overpower small-time villains at the Landslide Zone by himself and later showcased elite judgment, combat awareness, and athletic ability during the U.A. Sports Festival.[17][18] At the festival, Shoto was able to neutralize a Villain Bot-Executor, defeat his swift classmates, Hanta Sero and Tenya Ida, as well as fight on par with Izuku for a prolonged period to a nigh-draw.\n\nIn his battle against Izuku, a fan claimed that Shoto was already stronger than the average Pro Hero. When he was pitted against Katsuki Bakugo in the final round of the Sports Festival, there was a chance Shoto could've won the match using his fire powers. Still, due to inner turmoil, he extinguished his inferno, leaving him open to Katsuki's Howitzer Impact and losing the match. Starting with the Hosu Incident, Shoto began the full embracement of his left side, as well as his pyro-cryogenic interchangeability, particularly when he, Izuku, and Tenya faced off against the Hero Killer: Stain. Following his run-in with the Hero Killer, Shoto is recognized as one of strongest students of Class 1-A, as noted by Pixie-Bob.[19]\n\nWith help from his friends, Shoto freezes the fully powered Chimera into hibernation.\nWith help from his friends, Shoto freezes the fully powered Chimera into hibernation.\n\nWhile Shoto may possess full supremacy over his cryokinesis, the control over his pyrokinesis could have been more effective, especially in comparison to that of Endeavor. However, after the third match of the Joint Training Battle, Shoto realized that he had disregarded his left side for too long, which had put him and his team in a disadvantage and resolved to achieve greater mastery over his pyrokinetic abilities by learning the fundamentals of Flashfire Fist, Endeavor's signature technique. Thanks to his second internship, Shoto's handling over his left side has improved significantly, as he can now use his pyrokinesis in a new variety of ways, such as boosting his movement speed, launching himself through the air, and attacking with blaze-powered punches.\n\nAlthough Shoto is powerful, contending with individuals such as Stain, Eraser Head, Wolfram, Moonfish, Mr. Compress, Gang Orca, Chimera, Ending, and Tomura Shigaraki require Shoto's effective camaraderie with multiple people to prevail against such formidable opponents, excluding Leviathan. That was hardly the case during the climax of the Paranormal Liberation War, wherein he faced his brother Dabi in a battle of flames that nearly resulted in Shoto being burned alive, had it not been for Izuku's brief intervention. As the body-charring Todoroki brothers resumed their full-power pyrokinetic clash, Dabi chose to continue another time, as killing him without Endeavor watching would be pointless.\n\nShoto overpowers and defeats a seemingly stronger Dabi.\nShoto overpowers and defeats a seemingly stronger Dabi.\n\nDuring Class A's mission to bring Izuku back to U.A., after he left following the war events, Shoto displayed an even greater mastery over his cryokinetic abilities. In particular, his control over the shape of his ice has become much more refined, forming a massive vertical pillar of ice with Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall, and even creating a smooth curved ramp without the need for a solid framework. Furthermore, he's shown the ability to use his signature move, Flashfreeze Heatwave, without needing to cool the air down first; now he can put his hands together and unleash the power of both sides at once to create the same effect.\n\nDue to his training with the Pussycats, Shoto has gained increased efficiency over his Half-Cold Half-Hot Quirk, allowing him to fight on equal terms with Dabi come the Final War. Despite Dabi's Blueflame Quirk being thermally superior (burning at temperatures exceeding 3000°F), Shoto's newly acquired cold flames can compensate for his brother's flames, giving him two Quirks worth of power strong enough to freeze Kamino and overpower Dabi, besting his older brother (though with some assistance from the Flaming Sidekickers), with minimal injuries. However, Shoto was caught off-guard by Dabi's Awakening-like power enhancement, which allowed him to copy Shoto's Phosphor technique before getting warped away to face Endeavor. Later on, with the aid of Tenya, Shoto was able to arrive at Gunga Mountain Villa and assist his family in routing Dabi's pending self-destruction by unleashing a stronger version of Great Glacial Aegir to defeat his eldest brother once and for all.\n\nEnhanced Durability: Shoto has proven himself to be quite resilient, being able to withstand multiple attacks from Izuku, including a direct, One For All-enhanced punch at 5% strength to the stomach, without sustaining major injuries.[20] During his fight with Leviathan, Shoto was able to withstand his punch, which was strong enough to destroy the floor of the Humarise headquarters. One of the most impressive examples of Shoto's resilience, was when he endured the superior pyrokinesis of Dabi, which exceeded even Endeavor's firepower. By the Final War, Dabi's Jet Burn was unable to do anything more other than superficial damage.\nCold Resistance: Shoto holds resistance to freezing cold and the ability to tolerate extremely low temperatures, inherited from his mother.\nHeat Resistance: Shoto holds resistance to scorching heat and the ability to endure exceedingly high temperatures, inherited from his father. This gave him an advantage during his fights with opponents like Dabi, who utilized flame-based attacks.\nEnhanced Stamina: Shoto has shown to endure combat even while injured. For example, in his battle with Stain, he was able to continue fighting and supporting his allies despite suffering from multiple bleeding injuries on his arm and face,[16] and was still able to drag the villain's unconscious body once the battle is over.[21] When he engaged Dabi in a pyrokinetic brawl, Shoto continued to fight on despite his body becoming charred.\nEnhanced Agility: Shoto is fast, agile, and has quick reflexes. He was able to keep first place during most of the Obstacle Race during the Sports Festival thanks to his athletic ability. He repeatedly created ice walls within a split second to prevent himself from getting thrown out of the ring through his matchups with Izuku and Katsuki.[12][18] He was the only one in Class 1-A capable of at least partly reacting to and dodging Tenya's Recipro Burst. He could also partially dodge a knife thrown at his face and several other attacks by Stain, a notably swift opponent.[16]\nShoto interrogates the frozen villians.\nShoto interrogates the frozen villians.\n\nKeen Intellect: Shoto has proven to be a very intelligent person. And despite his training, Shoto is also very skilled in academics, having scored 5th place in the midterms.[22] During the U.S.J. Incident, Shoto accurately extrapolated that the invading villains had a Quirk user amongst their ranks that could jam communications. At the same time, he realized the attacking villains had an agenda and interrogated some of them to get answers.[23] Shoto's theory was proven correct, as the villain's goal was to kill All Might. Shoto also deduced Izuku had a connection to All Might after observing Izuku's power and matching it to that of All Might when the latter was fighting Nomu.\n\nThough on point about Izuku's link to the Symbol of Peace, Shoto incorrectly believed Izuku might be All Might's secret love child.[24] Shortly before the Hosu Incident, Shoto noticed the look of anger in Tenya's eyes and easily surmised that he was only taking up an internship in Hosu City to seek vengeance on the Hero Killer: Stain. While on patrol in Hosu, Shoto was able to work out the location of Izuku, Tenya, and Stain from an emergency call and arrive in time; however, he did complain it took a while, as Izuku didn't relay more than the exact location.[25]\n\nShoto questions Izuku, believing there is a connection with him and All Might.\nShoto questions Izuku, believing there is a connection with him and All Might.\n\nWhen he and Momo Yaoyorozu were paired together to face Eraser Head for their First Term Final Exam, Shoto suggested that Momo continuously creates random objects until she was unable to do so, which would signify that the Eraser Hero is nearby, all in attempt to lure him out and act as a diversion so Momo can make her way to the escape gate. Shoto's strategy worked, but as explained by Eraser Head, it was too offensive-oriented, as Shoto had placed the burden on himself and needed to trust Momo more. After being scolded by his teacher and approached by his returning classmate, Shoto admitted to being aware of Momo having a plan from the start of their matchup and not inquiring about it before properly cooperating with her.\n\nObserving the second match of the Joint Training Battle involving the teams of Momo and Itsuka Kendo, Shoto noticed a flaw in Itsuka's precautionary modus operandi in separating Momo from her Class 1-A teammates. He elucidated that if she wanted to be cautious of Momo, then Itsuka would have had her entire team overwhelm the Everything Hero at the beginning of the match.[26] After witnessing Izuku's awakening of a second Quirk, Shoto speculated that the One For All inheritor may be like him, having multiple powers in one singular ability, but Shoto didn't yet recognize the true depth of Izuku's new power.[27]\n\nHaving regained his lost conviction, Shoto finally uses his flames.\nHaving regained his lost conviction, Shoto finally uses his flames.\n\nIndomitable Will: Shoto has a highly undaunted spirit, not easily giving in to intimidation that would disrupt his focus, maintaining a cool head, and pushing through adversity. Initially, Shoto was jaded and aloof due to the abuse he and his family received from Endeavor's previous callousness, resulting in Shoto refusing to use his left side in battles as a sign of rejecting his father. Once the U.A. Sports Festival was underway, Shoto was considerably hellbent on not using his fire powers. Still, this misguided determination was corrected when he faced Izuku, who vehemently expressed that those powers belong to Shoto, nobody else. This encouragement triggered a latent memory within Shoto's psyche, as he recalled how his mother, Rei Todoroki, and All Might said those exact words that inspired Shoto to be a hero who can put people at ease with a smile, just like All Might himself.\n\nRemembering both these passionate words and his resolve, Shoto was free from the turmoil that stirred inside of him, finally used the power housed within his left side, and expressed how he, like Izuku, will be a hero and was grateful to Izuku for saving him from the emotional shackles that were weighing him down.\n\nRecalling Izuku’s words of encouragement and Endeavor's advice, Shoto pushes past his limits and unleashes the full might of his flames.\nRecalling Izuku’s words of encouragement and Endeavor's advice, Shoto pushes past his limits and unleashes the full might of his flames.\n\nUnfortunately, despite willingly using the power of his left side, Shoto still had some level of uncertainty afterward. While battling Katsuki, as Eraser Head explained, Shoto lost his spark following his previous match with Izuku, causing him not to give 100% of his strength. As Shoto became paralyzed with doubt, Izuku cheered him on, encouraging him to do his best, once again reigniting Shoto's will to fight and use his ignikinesis. Yet at the last second, before clashing with Katsuki, Shoto's inner turmoil was too prevalent, causing him to extinguish his conflagration and, in turn, lose the battle against Katsuki. Following the Sports Festival, Shoto has fortified his drive, becoming more than willing to use his pyrokinetic abilities in battle and even having the courage to finally face his mother, Rei, who previously, albeit in a mentally unstable state, gave Shoto the scar over his left eye.\n\nWhen the Provisional License Exam occurred, Shoto's will was tested again when he had a major altercation with Inasa Yoarashi, having coldly rebuffing the aerokinetic warm personality when the two met at the U.A. Recommendation Entrance Exam for recommended students. Shoto realized that he still hadn't moved past Endeavor's maltreatment, and his horrid attitude led to Inasa developing his hateful disposition towards Shoto himself. The infighting between the two elemental users resulted in them being repeatedly unable to land an attack on Gang Orca and were left at the mercy of him and his sidekicks. Soon after, however, Izuku arrived on the scene and scolded Shoto and Inasa for their actions, making the weakened students realize their mistake of being uncooperative with one another. The pair reaffirmed their convictions, put their differences aside, and finally worked together despite being incapacitated. Unfortunately, their conflict cost them the licensing exam, and they had to take remedial courses to make up for their imprudence and failure. Having undergone self-reflection, Shoto and Inasa displayed fully mutual congeniality towards each other when they crossed paths again at the Remedial Exam.\n\nIn a tearful rage, Shoto battles his insane brother Dabi.\nIn a tearful rage, Shoto battles his insane brother Dabi.\n\nDuring the third match of the Joint Training Battle, Shoto was pressured by Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu but could recall Endeavor's counsel on bringing his inferno to the limit and then surpassing that very apex. This advice proved pivotal, as Shoto, also recollecting Izuku's words of encouragement, understood that if he wants to become the hero he desires to be, he has to go beyond what his body and Quirk can do. His will sparked again; Shoto brought his pyrokinesis to the limit, equaling the potency of Endeavor's own flames, and was able to hold his own against Tetsutetsu better and put the latter's metal skin at risk of melting. In the climax of the Paranormal Liberation War, Shoto's spirit took a significant blow when Dabi revealed his true identity as Toya Todoroki, Shoto's eldest sibling who was thought to have been deceased. Discovering that Toya was alive for years, became a villain, and orchestrated the recent encounters with Hood, Starservant, and Ending, Shoto was sent into a tearful rage. Despite these revelations, Shoto remained steadfast and was more than willing to engage his corrupted brother, not wavering when the Todoroki brothers clashed despite Toya's superior abilities.\n\nQuirk\nShoto using his fire and ice powers simultaneously.\nShoto using his fire and ice powers simultaneously.\n\nHalf-Cold Half-Hot (半はん冷れい半はん燃ねん Hanrei Han'nen?): Shoto's Quirk gives him the ability to generate ice from the right side of his body, and flames from his left side.\n\nDue to years of rejecting his father, Shoto has developed a habit of favoring ice, even when fire would be a better option. This grudge also caused him to have difficulty controlling his flames. While he is capable of using both elements simultaneously, he isn't used to doing this and still needs to practice dual wielding. While training for his ultimate move, he claimed that using both abilities at the same time slows him down. If he overuses one element without utilizing the other, then his own body temperature will suffer; the ice half will cause frostbite and the fire half will cause heatstroke. Until his bodily limit is reached, however, neither has any visible effect on his body. Shoto can easily negate this weakness by alternating between ice and fire.\n\nAs part of his training, Shoto sat in a barrel of water and alternated between using ice and fire to regulate the temperature of the water. It helped his body become accustomed to the cold, and he learned better control over his flames.\n\nFurther development of the Quirk and mastery over his left side has allowed Shoto to combine his fire and ice into a \"cold fire,\" making use of his circulatory system to move the hot and cold blood around his body. This gives Shoto immunity to damage from heat-based Quirks, as well as improved defensive and offensive capabilities, especially against those with such Quirks. However, this way of using his Quirk requires a certain level of concentration in order to maintain it; otherwise, it will falter and dissipate.[28]\n\nTrivia\nShoto's surname contains the kanji for \"to roar, a roaring fire\" (轟 todoroki?), and his first name contains \"burning\" (焦 shō?) and \"freezing\" (凍 to?).\n\"Todoroki\" is a relatively common Japanese surname.\nHis Hero Name \"Shoto\" (ショート Shōto) is written in katakana as an act of self-realization. It removes the meaning of the original spelling in kanji, allowing him to define himself outside of Endeavor's ambitions and desires.\nAccording to Shoto's Volume 2 profile:\nHis favorite food is Zaru (cold) Soba.\nHe may have been the first Class 1-A character conceived after Izuku, Katsuki, and Ochaco, who were planned since way before the school setting was decided.\nShoto's known U.A. academic data is as follows:\nRanked 2nd in the U.A. Recommendation Entrance Exam.\nStudent No. 15 in Class 1-A.\nRanked 5th in Class 1-A's mid-term scores.[22]\nRanked 2nd during Shota's Quirk Apprehension Test.\nThe Runner-Up of The U.A. Sports Festival First-Year Stage.\nShoto received a total of 4,123 nominations from Pro Heroes for his U.A. Sports Festival performance, making him the most nominated Class 1-A student.\nSince he failed the Provisional Hero License Exam, he scored below 50.\nShoto's rankings in the Popularity Polls are as follows:\nShoto ranked 2nd in the first and fourth Popularity Polls.\nShoto ranked 3rd in the second, third, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and the Global Popularity Polls.\nHe may be partially based on the Marvel Comics character Thermite, who can also project heat on his left side and cold on his right side, and needed a regulatory pack to manage his body temperature.\nAccording to Shoto's Ultra Analysis profile:\nAside from being Endeavor's son, Shoto also gained popularity for his performance in the Sports Festival and for helping Katsuki defeat Cider House.\nHis personality describes him as \"a cool and hot airhead\".\nSince Shoto's eyes and hair show physical separation where the halves of his Quirk divide, he may have the genetic anomaly known as chimerism, which would make him a chimera.\nAccording to the Ultra Age Q&A:\nAs a Pro Hero, Shoto greets fans by waving at them politely and always looks at them in the eye before signing autographs. These traits were inspired by Japanese football player Kaoru Mitoma.\nKohei Horikoshi doesn't feel that Shoto is still an \"airhead\" as an adult, but does answer that he still takes what people say at face value.\nShoto and Izuku share the same costume designer.\nShoto is so far the only student to have gone through a radical change of costume, having abandoned all elements of his first one except for the boots.\nIronically, Shoto accepting the fire aspect of his Quirk resulted in his costume and support gear becoming more like his father's.[37]\nAs a child, Shoto is voiced by Kei Shindō, who also voices Kyoka Jiro, Fuyumi Todoroki, and Kinoko Komori.\nQuotes\n(To Izuku) \"Never using my bastard of a father's Quirk...
