Izuku Midoriya

Izuku Midoriya (緑みどり谷や出いず久く, Midoriya Izuku?), also known as Deku (デク, Deku?), is the main protagonist of the My Hero Academia manga and anime series.

Even though Izuku was born Quirkless, he manages to catch the attention of the legendary hero All Might, due to his innate heroism and a strong sense of justice, and has since become his close pupil, as well as a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School. All Might passed on his transferable Quirk to Izuku, making him the ninth and current holder of One For All. Izuku is 18 years old and in his last year of high-school.

Izuku is somewhat tall for his age. his round face is framed by a short mop of fluffy dark-green hair which curls up at odd angles around his head, casting noticeably dark shadows onto itself. His eyes are large and somewhat circular and his irises are the same shade of green as his hair, which at times are very watery, and are usually stretched quite wide, giving him an innocent, energized appearance. He has freckles scattered across his face and body. Izuku has often been described as "plain-looking" or "not standing out" by others.

Though he was initially very skinny, Izuku has gained toned muscles after his ten months of extensive training with All Might, and as the series progresses, these are shown to become more developed and defined as he gradually grows stronger.

After his battle against Shoto Todoroki, the fingers on his right hand became slightly deformed, and his hand shows visible scarring. His right arm was further damaged after his intense fight with Muscular, leaving many more scars. Following his recovery after the previously mentioned fight, Izuku wears a black compression sleeve on the upper portion of his right arm in order to support the heavy damage it sustained: it is partially visible when he wears short sleeves.

Powers and abilities: Izuku's quirk, One For All, can stockpile one's power, increasing the user's physical capabilities and being transferred from one person to another. Since this quirk can be passed down from user to user, the different quirks of the previous One For All holders also become embedded into One For All as well.

He can use Blackwhip, the quirk formerly held by Daigoro Banjo, the fifth user. This enables Izuku to use streams of black energy in order to grab objects and capture enemies.

One For All also gives Izuku superhuman strength in all parts of his body. A single flick of his fingers can cause a massive gust of wind, strong enough to knock someone off their feet. He often uses One For All in his legs, allowing him to jump really high and very fast. When he's in a hurry, he typically uses his powers to hop around.

Izuku is a very empathetic and kind soul. He's often self-destructive for the sake of others, getting hurt in the process. He's hurt himself many times because of this, but it's also what makes him a great hero. Izuku is sometimes known as a crybaby, often crying over silly things, whether they're happy or sad things. Whenever someone else cries, he tends to cry with them.

Izuku is very nervous around girls, often stuttering and stammering over his words. He gets embarrassed very easily by compliments and physical affection, but loves it nonetheless. Being around a girl is nerve-wracking for him, but he's learning to be less awkward. However, a simple touch, smile, or even a stare will make him red in the face.

Izuku is always willing to give everything for others, as long as it will make someone happy. He's soft spoken yet very passionate, often ranting and mumbling under his breath about random topics such as heroes. When he gets excited about something, his eyes tend to light up. He's very bad at hiding his emotions, especially when he's happy or nervous. Izuku always tries to cheer people up, and tends to see the good in people. When he thinks someone is in trouble or needs help, he becomes stubborn to a fault. He refuses to leave the person alone until he figures out how to help them.

Izuku has a notebook that he writes notes in about heroes and their quirks. He's absolutley obsessed with heroes, and keeps detailed notes on their fighting styles, quirks, costumes, and even their status in the hero rankings.

Izuku has a tendency to hyperfocus/ obsess over things, such as heroes, and he loves to ramble about his special interests. When he is asked about something he's passionate about, Izuku will often rant and ramble for a while, and then proceed to bashfully apologize for talking so much.
