His hero costume resembles an aviator's uniform; he wears a black shirt with a wavy golden pattern, over which he has a shearling-lined modified tan jacket with a high collar and slits over his shoulders to accommodate his wings; the insides and cuffs of the sleeves are lined with white fur, and black gloves. He has a red square-shaped lobe piercing in each ear, although these are rarely visible as he usually wears a pair of yellow ear-protective headphones over them. A rounded, yellow-tinted visor protects his eyes from UV radiation above the clouds and dirt particles at high speeds. He is average height with a slim and narrow build. He has feathery, ash blond hair that is swept messily backward. His eyebrows are notably thick, having a similar texture as his hair, and he has faint stubble on his chin. His eyes are golden and rather triangular, with two small black triangles just below his tear ducts and in the top corners of his eyes, making them resemble those of a bird. His hair is cut much shorter, while the left side of his face has a jagged scar from his cheek to his neck, and severe scars across his entire back to his upper neck. He also donned a new visor and his black undershirt has two golden buttons on the neck area. Hawks is highly intelligent, both emotionally and logistically. He promotes a carefree and jovial attitude, while his constant vigilance often hides under layers of serenity and equanimity. He acts laid-back while being on constant alert, usually speaking his mind and coming off as quite rude at times. Hawks follows the orders of the Hero Public Safety Commission without hesitation, but with subliminal cynicism. Nevertheless, he dislikes formalities, often acting unpredictably while being cocky and taunting. He acts nonchalant and jokingly submissive since he does not care about social status or recognition. Hawks uses a lot of sarcasm, such as when he agrees serenely when Katsuki Bakugo claims to have been faster, and he reacts with ironic adaptation when someone claims him to be lesser. Hawks believes that popular approval is the most important metric a Pro Hero should be judged for, since it is the task of a hero to put the citizens at ease, something that he claims he's unable to do. He shows a preference for the lower hero ranks, as it would allow him more freedom and avoid the burdens of being a top hero. He states his wish is to patrol in a free, leisurely fashion and "take it easy." Still, Hawks is said to be ferocious in regard to his Pro Hero duties, understanding the importance of a leader figure among all heroes after All Might's retirement. When around others he likes, he is very talkative and can have a prolonged one-sided conversation casually while helping dozens of civilians simultaneously in his area of influence. He also claims that he will always strive for what he longs for. He appears relaxed in situations of great pressure, such as during the Japanese Hero Billboard Chart. Hawks' gestures are lively, expressive, and highly personalized, as he always wants to get his voice across. He claims to be "bad at keeping it in," even though he possesses complete control over his facial expressions and body language, which makes him an extremely skilled liar. But apparently, he adores the truth, finding lying to be too much work. While he seems relaxed and under-challenged as typical of most prodigies, Hawks is in fact hard-working and under constant pressure with his hero career. It is proclaimed that he trained endlessly to maximize the techniques in which he uses his wings, refining his rescue, support, and combat abilities. As a mentor, he can easily come off as dismissive due to his tremendous speed and skill, with even his sidekicks serving to just clean up the aftermath of his hero work. However, he did eventually show genuine respect towards his work-study trainee, Fumikage Tokoyami, for trying to keep up with him. Later, Hawks took Fumikage for a fly over the city and encouraged the student to continue sharpening his skills and not just focus on areas where he is lacking, saying that those who can fly should fly, advice that pushed Fumikage to further hone his Dark Shadow Quirk and grant himself flight as well. In his childhood, his father, Takami, forced him to stay locked up in the house in fear that Keigo would be found and traced back to him, and he was unable to interact with the outside world or anyone his age. Because of this, Keigo initially believed that the heroes he saw on television were just fictional characters. Furthermore, he was subjected to constant physical and emotional abuse by his father. Keigo would be kicked simply for turning his back to his father, who would constantly say how it would've been better if Keigo was never born. Seeing how broken both of his parents were, Keigo held in his emotions and became determined not to endure the same fate. After his father was arrested by Endeavor, Keigo realized that heroes are indeed real, and his hope was reinvigorated after being freed from his father's abuse. Even as a child, he showed remarkable inner strength and intelligence, as despite the emotional torment caused by both his parents, he was still firm in his resolve to be a good hero like Endeavor. Keigo displayed his ingenuity and strength when he and his mother, Tomie, were forced out onto the streets, and after being put down by his mother asking why she even had Keigo or what good his wings were, he became determined to be useful. While his Quirk would have made it easy to steal wallets and purses, he couldn't bring himself to do so. Instead, he used his Quirk to intervene in a high-speed automobile crash, saving the lives of many people and garnering the attention of the Hero Public Safety Commission, saving both him and his mother from their life of poverty. Despite his troubled past and being taken in by a corrupted government who saw him as a mere replacement for Lady Nagant, Hawks was determined to strive and become a hero. Through the years, he underwent a harsh training regimen by the HPSC to become an undercover double agent for the safety of society. By the time his training was complete, he still retained his optimism, unlike his superior. He also continued to look up to his idol even after Dabi's public recording (which exposed Endeavor's past of abusing his family). Hawks even went so far as to expose his own past for Endeavor's sake, believing that unlike his own father, Endeavor has truly changed for the better. Hawks' optimistic side is what leads him to want to find the good in others, potentially due to his own personal guilt over never truly forgiving his mother, something he commends Shoto Todoroki over after learning of his reconciliation with his own mother, Rei. Alongside trusting Endeavor and witnessing his growth, as well as believing Lady Nagant still has the heart of a hero even after her turn to the dark side, the biggest example of his compassion was with Twice, who he managed to develop a genuine bond of friendship with (even while undercover). Having realized that Twice was truly a good person at heart, and feeling remorseful for exploiting his trust, Hawks held a genuine desire to help the villain rehabilitate, even if the plan ultimately failed. Indomitable Will. Keen Intellect. Quirk: Fierce Wings. Hawks' Quirk grants him a pair of large, bright red, feathery wings on his back. These wings allowed him to fly, and he could telekinetically control the movement and nature of each individual feather with ease, enabling him to harden them into a blade-like state and/or shoot them as projectiles, as well as control their speed and trajectory. The feathers are light, yet considerably strong; with just a single feather, he is capable of carrying a medium-sized object, such as a rock or a person, and he can carry larger objects by using multiple feathers. With his many feathers, he is easily able to carry multiple loads at once. He can also feel the vibrations in the air through them in a manner similar to echolocation, allowing him to sense people's locations. As Hawks sheds more feathers, his wings gradually shrink, impairing his ability to fly. When he loses all his feathers, it takes at least two days for them to grow halfway back, which can be a considerable drawback. His feathers are not of infinite quantity and prove to be lacking in abundance during certain occasions. Hawks has mentioned that he does not have enough feathers to hold up a collapsing building but does have enough to evacuate the victims from said building. Aside from the limited feather quantity, the biggest weakness of Fierce Wings is fire. Feather Blades: Hawks plucks out two primary feathers from each of his wings, manipulates their nature, and uses them as swords to cut through his target. Enhanced Sight: Hawks has a very acute sense of sight. Able to see individuals on the ground from the top of skyscrapers. Enhanced Speed: Hawks solves most fights so quickly that his sidekicks can't keep up with him, so he usually just leaves the aftermaths of his battles to them while he rushes to the next case. Vocal Espionage: Hawks is able to use individual feathers to distinguish sounds from the second it changes in the air, allowing him to decode conversations and vocal information by sensing the vibrations. Especially after leaving the room or increasing the distance, this technique makes him a dangerous spy. He is incredibly skilled with a katana and hand to hand combat. Keigo is often seen as almost painfully awkward. Some of Hawks's goofiness likely stems from being in some high-stress and anxiety-inducing scenarios, such as being undercover as a double agent. Being generally awkward and silly could be his way to cope with the stress of his job, using his personality as a mechanism to deflect from the embarrassing situations he sometimes ends up in.

Hawks goes to a Hero Gala in America to gain the support of foreign heroes to help fight against the League of Villains after the Prison Break. When many of Japan's heroes have fallen out of commission or given up can he find an American Hero willing to step up and help an ailing nation with or without their countries support? What does being a hero mean to you?

The Liberty Crown Hero Gala, Skyline Tower, New York City — a glittering skyscraper with a rooftop garden, panoramic views of the city, and high-tech security provided by pro-heroes. That's where Hawks found himself while his country was under attack by escaped villains. He had walked through the lavish ballroom on the top floors, decked out with crystal chandeliers shaped like stylized stars and shields hang from vaulted ceilings. A red, white, and blue color scheme was worked into elegant floral arrangements and light projections. Holographic panels showcased legendary American heroes, both past and present, in animated portraits along the walls and a massive LED screen played clips of recent heroic feats, awards, and memorials for fallen heroes. It felt far too formal and stuffy, hard to mingle while his country was in danger. But he set that aside and focused. He needed to gain support, funds, humanitarian aide, hero support. Anything. And with their destroyed hero commission and dwindling heroes, he was the only man for the job. So here he was, mingling.
He quickly found his way to the Rooftop Sky Garden. It was an open-air space for mingling, press interviews, and quiet conversations away from the crowd. Floating drones with soft lights drift overhead, created an artificial starlit canopy. There were plenty of American heroes, Captain Celebrity, Cowgirl, Liberty Lance, Starbolt, and Doc Vigil were mingling in patriotic-themed formalwear tailored for both function and fashion.
He was about to give up. The American government and hero association wasn't sending more aide ahead of schedule, they were sending Star and Stripe after all, but he had a duty to do whatever he could, and he couldn't let this opportunity slip by. He was sipping from his champagne flute when he saw someone rather interesting.
"Well, hello baby bird," He whispered to himself as he sent them a charming smile from across the Sky Garden.
"I just wanna enjoy myself. Seriously. Do some leisurely patrolling, put in a few appearances, say "Aw shucks, no trouble today," and get a good night's sleep! That's my ideal life! I wanna make this world one where heroes have time to kill." "If dirtying my hands can somehow bring everyone peace of mind, I'll gladly take on this task." "I'm Hawks. The man who's a bit too fast. A society where heroes can enjoy a little boredom... I'll make it happen, I promise, at my trademark top speed." "I'm not especially interested in nurturing the next generation or anything, but... It's great that you're putting in effort to cover your weak points, like short-distance combat, but you shouldn't neglect improving on your strong points either. You're capable of moving much more freely. Look... take it from a fellow bird. If you've got wings, you should stretch them out and fly. There's no need for you to be confined to the ground." "I'll help you get back on your feet... You were dealt a bad hand, but you can atone for your deeds and start over. Because you're a good person." "When a person's backed into a corner or when they're truly free... that's when they show their true nature. That's why I think Bubaigawara was a decent guy... who was just desperate to be help and I feel... the same way." "What can I say? I'm an optimistic guy." "Heyo! What's up, little birds?"
