Madara Usagiyama

Madara Usagiyama (兎山 マダラ Usagiyama Madara), also known by his hero name Susano’o (須佐之男命 Susanoo), is a student in Class 3-C at U.A. High School and the son of Rabbit Hero: Mirko, the No. 5 Pro Hero.

Madara is a young man with spiky silver-white hair patterned with subtle black spots that flows down to his waist. Two longer strands frame his face and reach his shoulders, a quiet homage to his mother’s rabbit features.

His dark brown skin bears faint, darker patches resembling the hidden rosettes of a panther. He has striking heterochromia — red in the left eye and blue in the right — each with rare concentric ring patterns that granting his gaze a chilling fluidity and precision. A soft green shadow rests beneath both eyes, echoing the facial markings of the Panthera genus, and he has long, defined eyelashes inherited from his mother.

Because of his Quirk, he possesses a panther’s tail and ears, both white in coloration, marking him as an albino panther. Expressive, charismatic, and intense, he is often seen wearing a sharp grin or smirk. Madara stands at 6'1" (186 cm) and has an athletic build. He is 19 years old.

To prevent sensory overload, mental fatigue, or — in the worst case — a breakdown of sanity caused by his unique eyes, Madara often wears a sleek black blindfold. Casually, he swaps it for round black sunglasses with opaque lenses, concealing his gaze from the world while still allowing perfect vision.

At U.A., he wears the standard U.A. uniform without the customary red tie.

His hero costume, Majestic Attire: Susano'o (威装・須佐能乎­ Isō: Susanoo), blends ritual precision with combat efficiency. He wears an ivory-white, high-collared mantle that splits at the waist, layered over a sleeveless black armor reinforced with segmented metal plates that form protective guards along his chest, waist, shoulders, and thighs. A short, torn black scarf wraps loosely around his neck — both practical and symbolic of solitary strength. His lower half is clad in white hakama-style pants secured by a wide black sash and utility belt, evoking traditional martial gear. Fingerless gloves and bandage-wrapped forearms support asymmetrical black-and-white arm guards shaped like claws, while black shin guards and open-toed sandals provide traction and speed.

His stealth costume prioritizes mobility, stealth, and close-quarters efficiency. He wears a form-fitting dark gray and black compression bodysuit reinforced with subtle protective padding around the torso, thighs, and knees, allowing unrestricted movement during high-speed combat and partial Resurrection. Fingerless gloves, bandage-wrapped forearms, and lightweight plated gauntlets support weapon handling and close-range combat. His lower face is concealed by layered black fabric, while a fitted headwrap secures his hair into a tight braid or ponytail, leaving the two signature strands framing his face. Silver metallic accents reinforce the shoulders, wrists, and waist, and a silver eclipse emblem decorates the outfit. Tabi-style combat boots provide silent movement and enhanced traction across various surfaces. Madara, in this outfit, constantly has nothing, and his disadvantage is not being able to use kinetic energy attacks, which leaves him with his own quirk and infiltration abilities.

At the peak of Panther Stride lies a state known as Resurrection (帰刃レスレクシオン, Resurekushion). In this form, his eye markings extend toward his swept-back feline ears, and his physique becomes even more predatory. A bony headpiece forms on his forehead as segmented, white armor-like plating covers his body. His claws extend, and sharp blades emerge from his forearms and calves, heightening his lethality. His tail thickens for improved control, his presence becomes suffocatingly instinctual, and his teeth grow jagged and sharp. His hands turn into black claws, and his feet shift into feline paws. He can also trigger partial transformations when needed.

Casually, Madara has a broad and stylish wardrobe. He is most often seen wearing a partially unzipped black shirt beneath a black sash and a ragged white jacket with an upturned collar and black lining. He pairs this with black pants, black boots, and two white belts around his waist.

During moments of introspection — such as visiting his father’s grave — he prefers a black long-sleeved turtleneck split at the cuffs, paired with a simple light-brown obi and belt, and his signature black boots.

Personality

Madara is a complex individual. He projects a charismatic, playful, and at times arrogant persona, often grinning or joking even under pressure. Known for his sharp tongue and cutting provocations — particularly toward peers like Bakugo and Todoroki — he challenges others both physically and ideologically. Outwardly, he appears confident and carefree: a showman who turns battle into spectacle.

Beneath that bravado, however, lies a deeply reflective and self-aware hero who questions the very foundations of hero society. Though he genuinely believes in heroism, Madara holds a critical view of the professional system. He regards things like flashy attack names or media appearances as distractions from the essence of being a hero, often remarking that “children are sent to fix the failures of adults.” He advocates for systemic reform, believing hero education should resemble higher learning rather than high school. His ideals are not born of disillusionment but of sober pragmatism and a desire for lasting change — To create a reality where youth is not wasted, lost, or prematurely destroyed by what he calls the Curse of Hatred (憎しみの呪い, Nikushimi no Noroi).

Madara embodies both the idealist who dreams of changing the system and the pragmatist who accepts that harsh choices are sometimes necessary. He can be unsympathetic — even cruel — toward corrupt or irredeemable individuals. Though he values life, he does not hesitate to eliminate those he deems beyond saving. However, Madara has little faith in the idea of destiny. He believes circumstances may shape a person, but they do not determine who they become; people are defined by the choices they make and the actions they take. This belief is deeply personal to him, as he refuses to let his own past, losses, or circumstances dictate his future.

In combat, Madara balances analytical precision with instinctive aggression. He studies, hunts, and toys with his opponents, rarely losing composure even when pressured. He does not believe everyone can necessarily be saved, but neither does he believe anyone is simply destined to become irredeemable. He will offer those capable of change a chance to choose differently, while accepting that some people may ultimately force a harsher answer. Yet beneath this pragmatism lies a fundamentally compassionate core: he puts others before himself without regard for his own health or safety if it means helping someone else.

Madara is renowned for his creativity in combat, always extracting the maximum from his Quirk and his support equipment. One of his most notable tactics involves binding explosive tags to kunai and weaving them through his Tsukuyomi threads before launching them in unpredictable arcs. Though he may taunt his opponents, Madara never underestimates a genuine threat. When proven wrong, he acknowledges it without pride—strength, to him, is not ego but awareness. He dislikes prolonging an opponent’s suffering, believing that once a battle’s outcome is decided, hesitation only breeds cruelty. He harbors a great resentment toward being labeled “morally gray,” as his harsh decisions stem from compassion and discipline, not sadism or indecision.

Despite his cynicism toward hero society, Madara finds fighting villains genuinely thrilling and fulfilling — a rare joy where he learns and evolves. Like his mother, Madara believes that heroes who rely too heavily on teams are cowards, depending on others’ strength rather than their own. Fiercely independent and prone to breaking rules, he prefers to face danger head-on, trusting his instincts and skill above all else. Yet, despite his pride, he sees no issue in helping or protecting his peers when it truly matters — an act that, for him, defines what being a hero is supposed to mean.

Recognized by the U.A. faculty as a living embodiment of raw power and an exceptionally promising student, Madara also carries a loneliness born from his opinions, worldview, and desire to revolutionize the hero system. At times, he mutters to himself: “Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the honored one.” Though it sounds proud, it is in truth a quiet confession — a reminder that seeing the world from a different perspective can be a lonely experience.

Although he rarely speaks of it, Madara was profoundly shaped by the memory of his father, Ryomen Usagiyama — a former underground fighter and ex-assassin from a feline-based Quirk clan, Shinazugawa. After being defeated (and charmed) by Rumi “Mirko” Usagiyama in the illegal rings, Ryomen abandoned his violent past and taking his wife's last name to live humbly as a stay-at-home father. His death protecting Madara from a villainous ambush marked the boy forever.

Madara’s greatest fear is becoming useless — to stand powerless while others suffer. The thought of failing to protect or save someone unsettles him deeply, revealing the quiet, genuine empathy that anchors his formidable resolve. He can even be humble, when there is no need for him to maintain his arrogant image.

Despite his critical worldview, Madara respects figures like All Might and Endeavor — seeing in them either ideals to surpass or failures to learn from. His relationship with his mother, Mirko, is one of teasing affection and mutual respect; she remains the person he loves and admires most. Friendships with Mirio, Nejire, and Tamaki reveal his more vulnerable side — a hero who fights not only to protect lives, but to redefine what heroism truly means.

Quirk

Panther Stride (パンサーストライド Pansā Sutoraido): Madara’s Quirk grants him the attributes and abilities of a panther. He possesses the agility, reflexes, and heightened senses of the animal, as well as its claws and roar. His retractable claws are sharper than blades, capable of tearing through flesh and various materials — though highly durable substances can resist them, and the Quirk’s close-range nature demands proximity. Overuse of his roar in short succession can strain or injure his throat. Additionally, his animal instincts grant him acute environmental awareness, allowing him to sense danger nearby.

Resurrection represents Madara pushing his body and genes to their biological limit. Despite the name, this transformation forces his body to produce a defensive, armor-like exoskeleton and adapt his limbs for enhanced power and endurance. While the form grants overwhelming strength, it is short-lived, leaving him physically exhausted when fully deployed. Partial transformations can be triggered as needed.

Ultimate Moves

Dust Whirlwind Cutter (鹿神旋風・削ぎ, Jin Senpū: Sogi) — Madara dashes forward at blinding speed, spinning his gunbai in rapid circular arcs that generate a horizontal cyclone of compressed air. The attack slices through everything in its path — dust, debris, and enemies alike — with a barrage of razor-sharp gusts. The move is both a rush and a barrier, allowing Madara to close distance while deflecting incoming projectiles.

Idaten Typhoon (韋駄天颱風, Idaten Taifū) — Leaping into the air, Madara performs a backward somersault while swinging his kama in a perfect circular motion. The spin releases a massive ring of cutting wind that expands outward like a typhoon, shredding everything below. The aftermath leaves a cratered spiral pattern on the ground — a mark of both beauty and devastation.

Rumbling (轟音, Gōon) — Madara unleashes an exceptionally powerful roar, generating sonic waves that propagate through the air and surrounding area. The resulting vibrations can disorient opponents, disrupt their balance, and interrupt their movements. Unlike his ordinary roar, Rumbling is a deliberate combat technique that pushes his vocal capabilities to their limits.

God of Thunder (雷神, Raijin) — Madara channels accumulated kinetic energy through a ritual hand seal, causing it to erupt behind him as a ring of white, drum-like arcs reminiscent of Raijin's taiko. After a brief charge, the stored energy collapses into a single lightning-like discharge that strikes the target with overwhelming speed and concussive force. Though visually resembling lightning, the attack is composed entirely of compressed kinetic energy, making it costly to perform and slow to prepare. To fire he uses a ritual hand seal formed by extending the index and little fingers while keeping the remaining fingers folded.

Amaterasu (天照, Amaterasu) — This technique allows Madara to convert the kinetic energy accumulated by his support gear into thermal energy, channeling it through his gloves, kama, or the metal edges of his gunbai. Although it cannot rival the temperatures produced by genuine fire-based Quirks, it remains highly effective by exploiting the body's instinctive response to extreme heat, forcing opponents to recoil or release their grip. Visually, the technique manifests as a thin aura resembling black flames.

Tsukuyomi (月読 Tsukuyomi) — This technique manifests as razor-sharp, yellowish-orange wires formed from tightly compressed kinetic filaments. Upon uttering the ritual invocation — “With this treasure, I summon...” (布ふ瑠る部べ由ゆ良ら由ゆ良ら Furube Yurayura) — the wires burst outward in an instant, weaving themselves into a circular trap that envelops the opponent. The field forms almost faster than the eye can track, layering itself into a shifting lattice of lethal tension. Any attempt to force movement within it results in deep cuts or limb-severing shears, as the wires vibrate with destructive frequency. Madara claims that even someone as powerful as All Might would be gravely wounded attempting to break through it by brute strength alone.

Dismantle (解カイ Kai) — A precise, slashing kinetic wave launched from Madara’s claws or fingers, designed to slice cleanly through targets with minimal resistance. To fire Dismantle, he typically performs a hand gesture toward the target — usually pointing — which serves as both a visual warning and an activation input for his gloves.

Cleave (捌ハチ Hachi) — A follow-up slash that automatically adjusts its sharpness and force based on the target’s physical resilience or energy level, allowing it to tear through even heavily guarded defenses. Unless used within his Sanctuary, Madara must make physical contact with the target in order to trigger Cleave, as the technique is activated through the surface of his gloves.

Sanctuary of Conquest and Execution (征服と処刑の聖域 Seifuku to Shokei no Seiiki) — Triggered exclusively in Resurrection, Madara marks the battlefield with instinctive slashes, carving invisible lines of dominance across a radius of up to 200 meters. Within this domain, anyone who enters becomes subject to automatic slashing attacks from every direction, triggered by movement, intent, and presence alone. The closer an opponent is to Madara’s core zone, the sharper and more precise the strikes become. At the outer edge, the slashes weaken and grow erratic, though they remain lethal. To activate it, Madara forms the Enma Palm Sign (閻魔天の掌印, Enmaten no Shōin), a two-handed mudra representing the Buddhist god of death.

The domain can be compressed to a minimum radius of two meters around Madara, making close proximity extremely dangerous. Its maximum duration is approximately two minutes, as it consumes a significant portion of the hero suit’s stored kinetic energy. With exceptional control, Madara can also activate the field for as little as 0.2 seconds, creating a near-instantaneous execution effect while minimizing energy expenditure.

Moon Rabbit (月の兎 Tsuki no Usagi) — Madara instantaneously reverses all stored kinetic energy, unleashing a powerful repulsive shockwave. The technique has two applications:

• Offensive — Madara focuses the repulsion into a single gesture, firing a linear gravitational impulse that distorts the air and violently hurls everything in its path away, as if space itself rejects their presence.

• Defensive — He generates a repulsive field around his body that deflects any incoming attack — physical, projectile, or energy-based — before it can reach him. The stronger the enemy’s force, the stronger the resulting pushback.

The heavy energy cost briefly slows Madara down and prevents him from shielding allies within the radius. His command signal is making a shadow puppet of a rabbit's head with his hands.

Silent Steps (暗歩 Anpo) — Madara has mastered a panther-like gait, allowing him to move without producing sound, blending instinctive stealth with feline grace.

Phantom Echo (肢曲 Shikyoku) — By varying rhythm and footwork, Madara creates afterimages of himself, confusing enemies with overlapping movements and deceptive trajectories.

Assassination Skills (暗殺術 Ansatsu-jutsu) — Trained from an early age by his father in assassination techniques, Madara learned to suppress presence, control his breathing, and execute lethal movements with clinical precision. Contrary to a tradition destined to perpetuate violence, this knowledge was passed down to him as a means of survival in a world of conflict. Although he rarely resorts to such methods, Madara can enter a state of absolute concentration, focused solely on neutralizing threats. In these moments, his efficiency and lethality differ drastically from his usual combat style—a reflection of the contrast between his bloodline and the conscious choice to break the cycle of hatred.

Equipment

Gunbai and Kama — A dark-wood war fan marked with red tomoe, its hilt bound with chains and bandages. Attached to its base by a length of chain is a kama, its curved blade gleaming with lethal promise. Madara uses the gunbai for both offense and defense, while the kama allows him to control space during rotations, trap opponents, and pull them off balance.

Kunai Knife — A matte-black, three-bladed kunai with a white fabric-wrapped handle. Madara typically carries four of them in hip sheaths—two on each side—as part of his stealth gear, using them for melee attacks and to disable security systems.

Kinetic Energy System and Gloves — Integrated into his arm guards are kinetic siphon cores, devices designed to absorb and store the energy generated by Madara’s movements during combat. This stored kinetic energy powers many of his Ultimate Moves, allowing them to manifest without directly draining his Quirk.

Specialized gloves allow Madara to conduct and shape the stored energy with precision. The hand seals he performs function as command inputs, enabling the system to interpret and release energy in specific forms. In this way, the so-called “enchantments” operate similarly to hand seals, acting as structured signals that trigger different energy outputs.
