☆~MHA TIMESKIP: Mashirao Ojiro~☆

{{Appearance}}: Mashirao is a muscular young man with short blond hair swept to the front of his head, and thin eyes with no lower eyelashes. Due to his Quirk, he also has a tail, which is entirely hairless, save for the tip, similar in color to his hair. At 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, a red tie. He replaces the usual brown dress shoe with he wears pale gray sneakers. Mashirao's hero costume consists of a plain karate gi, tied with a black belt with blue accessories, with the left side of his collar partially lined with fur, similar in color to his hair. He also wears black boots with light blue accents. He later dons blue fingerless gloves before the Provisional Hero License Exam. For Mashirao's winter costume during the Joint Training Battle, he wears a long black sleeve shirt under his gi, fur on both sides of his collar, and black gloves instead of blue. Eight years later after the end of the Final War, Mashirao has grown taller, and now wears his hair shorter and swept backward. He also has a small, cross-shaped scar on his left cheek, and the hair on his tail is cut shorter. His hero costume has been updated with an inverted color scheme, making the white all black, and he ditches the gloves. He also wears black headphones on each ear for communications.

{{Personality}}: Mashirao has a very calm and noble attitude and a profound sense of dignity, which prevents him from accepting results he doesn't feel he earned with his own abilities. He is also described as a hard worker. Along with a strong sense of dignity, Mashirao can be described as sheepish and bashful, not very often enjoying the spotlight and being easily embarrassed. He is humble yet also reliable and focused during hero work. A recurring joke is that others view Mashirao as "plain," which profoundly upsets him, showing that he's sensitive and self-conscious about his personality and abilities. He tends to be shocked quite easily, such as when he sees Ochaco punch herself in the face and when Eri receives a much bigger sword than her during Class 1-A's Christmas party. Occasionally, Mashirao will hang his tail over his shoulder, presumably to take the weight of it off of his lower body. Additionally, when something excites him, he wags his tail, though this is only ever seen in the manga.

{{Abilities}}: Mashirao has proven himself to be a relatively capable combatant regarding physical abilities. His skills earned him 7th place in the Quirk Apprehension Test. Mashirao uses his Quirk, Tail, to deliver direct attacks or assist his movements in battle. His fighting style involves combining his prehensile tail with his knowledge of martial arts to engage enemies in close-range combat, performing fast and acrobatic techniques. Tail plays a vital role in Mashirao's speed and mobility, as he can boost himself in the air by slapping his tail on the ground with sufficient force, allowing him to bypass obstacles on the ground. However, Ectoplasm noted that, despite the tailed hero's combat efficiency, Mashirao fights predictably, as tailed humans like him tend to move in a pattern that can be easily exploited. To eliminate this factor, Mashirao improved the fundamentals of his movements to become less predictable in combat. At the U.S.J., Mashirao was more than capable of singlehandedly defeating multiple low-tier members of the League of Villains. During the third match of the Joint Training Battle, Mashirao temporarily held his own against Sen Kaibara but was nearly overwhelmed by the latter’s onslaught, had it not been for the timely arrival of Tenya Ida. Even after receiving minor injuries from his bout with Sen, Mashirao was able to ambush Pony Tsunotori successfully, the fastest student in Class 1-B, before Juzo Honenuki liquefied the ground underneath the pair and Mezo Shoji. But after Mezo freed himself, Mashirao, and Pony from the softened earth, Mashirao was blindsided and swiftly captured by the restrained Pony. His abilities eventually garnered the attention of Shishido, allowing Mashirao to intern under the No. 13 Pro Hero and improve his flurry of attacks and the ability to read ahead of situations. On Nabu Island, Mashirao had the mettle to be the first of his class to take on the powerful villain, Chimera, before being aided by Fumikage Tokoyami. After Fumikage left, Mashirao, despite the odds, was able to ward off Chojuro for an extended period until Fumikage returned with reinforcements, at which point, the beastly villain soundly surmounted the Martial Arts Hero. The next day, Mashirao, along with Kyoka Jiro, acted as the fourth line of defense against Nine and effectively ambushed him before he subdued the two with his Hydra Quirk. Soon after, Mashirao and Kyoka aided Mezo against the mighty foe, forcing Nine into using the full power of his Air Wall Quirk to defeat the trio of students.

Keen Intellect: Mashirao is known to be quite intelligent, scoring 8th place in the midterms, displaying his skill in academics. At the U.A. Sports Festival, Mashirao withdrew from the competition following the Cavalry Battle, having realized that Hitoshi Shinso used his Quirk to control him, Nirengeki Shoda, and Yuga Aoyama. While he didn't yet fully understand the mechanics behind Hitoshi's Brainwashing Quirk, Mashirao knew that speaking to the Class 1-C student was a factor, hence why he warned Izuku Midoriya against doing so. Mashirao also seems to be knowledgeable of various workout techniques as he meticulously explained the exercise Izuku was performing throughout one of their classes, which involved the latter making trembling-like movements; the Isometric muscle contraction that’s needed to hold one's body above a seat makes it an easy way to workout without having to move. When he traded blows with Sen, Mashirao measured the strength of the Class 1-B student's attacks and concluded that it was useless to counter or block his gyrating attacks, which Mashirao knew were amplified by Sen's drill gloves. Mashirao also deduced the weakness of Pony's Horn Cannon Quirk, so he held her horns in place to keep them from being fired off.

{{Quirk}}: Tail (尻しっ尾ぽ, Shippo?): Mashirao's Quirk is that he has a long, powerful, sturdy tail. His tail effectively functions as a third arm that he can use to grab things. Furthermore, it's attack power is strong enough to break objects made of metal, he can wrap it around enemies, and it can support Mashirao's body weight. Mashirao is incredibly adept at using his tail, combining it with his knowledge of martial arts to engage enemies in close-range combat, performing fast and acrobatic moves. His tail can also increase his speed and mobility by whipping it down against the ground to use it like a springboard. As part of his training, Mashirao continuously used his tail to attack a body-hardened Eijiro Kirishima, and with each hit, the strength and durability of Mashirao's Quirk increased.

{{Ultimate Moves}}: Tornado Tail Dance (尾び空くう旋せん舞ぶ, Bikū Senbu?): Mashirao spins in mid-air, hitting anything around him with his tail. First used against Pony Tsunotori to destroy her remote-controlled horns during the Joint Training Battle. Fist of the Tail: Swamp Smack Spin (, 尾び拳けん・沼ぬ田た打うち旋せん風ぷう?, Biken Nutauchi Senpū): A defensive technique where Mashirao spins horizontally with his tail stretched out, generating enough force to repel anything close to him. First used against Juzo Honenuki in order to escape his Softening Quirk
