Kinoko

Kinoko is a short girl of a relatively thin build, with honey-brown hair curved inwards in a mushroom-shaped bob that reaches just below her narrow shoulders. She has a long fringe that completely covers her eyes, hiding most of her face, and her mouth is large. Unobscured, her eyes are wide and cat-like, tilted inwards with rather long lower eyelashes, and her irises are warm brown. Kinoko's pupils are little black crosses, both highly resembling the caps of cross-sliced shiitake mushrooms.

Her hero costume consists of a turtleneck dress with long sleeves and furred cuffs, which is decorated with a red and white fly agaric pattern, matching the one on her mushroom cap-shaped hat. She wears pale pink knee-high boots with thick tan soles and frilled shafts, patterned with the same fly agaric as her dress, and around her waist is a dark brown belt with a large golden buckle, which allows her to hold her Shroom-Shooters. Altogether, her costume strongly resembles a mushroom, referring to the Quirk she possesses.

As of the Final War, Kinoko's costume now includes a fluffy collar around her neck.

Eight years later, Kinoki changed her costume design to it has a striped pattern, and her hat has a pointed tip, almost like a witch hat.

During the U.A. Sports Festival, her front bangs hide her eyes, and she wears a sullen expression, suggesting that Kinoko is shy.

However, Kinoko arrives at the Joint Training Battle alongside her classmates with a big smile, contrasting with her demeanor during the Sports Festival. When her teammate Shihai Kuroiro's plan fails, she excitedly initiates her part of the plan using her Mushroom Quirk, suggesting that her confidence has significantly increased or that she's at least more comfortable around mushrooms.

Kinoko has a gleeful liking towards mushrooms, which stems from her Quirk. She remembers the scientific name of all the mushrooms she can spawn and happily adds endearing honorifics to them. She also likes to make mushroom puns during a battle.[6]

However, Kinoko possesses a kind side, as seen when she apologizes to Fumikage Tokoyami for using too much of her Quirk on him and telling him to take necessary medicine to better himself.

Kinoko also seems to be a fan of Hawks and asked Fumikage if he had any pictures of the No. 2 Hero in his private life.
