Gentle Criminal

Danjuro Tobita, also known as Gentle Criminal, is a former independent villain and an Internet celebrity. Befitting his alias, Danjuro is polite and well-mannered, even while committing criminal acts. He manipulates how he wants his crimes to play out and is not afraid of facing multiple heroes, showing an unusual amount of calmness and confidence. His mannerisms may also seem slightly over-the-top and eccentric. One of his more common theatrics is pouring coffee or tea into a cup while holding the kettle over his head and spilling it everywhere. Although he means well and lacks hostility, Danjuro lacks insight into his decisions and actions, first demonstrated when he hindered a Pro Hero from saving someone despite having good intentions. Other cases are how his videos cause more discomfort instead of the inspiration he desires, not understanding the consequences he would've genuinely brought to U.A. High School by sneaking into their Culture Festival, and how he was unable to stop speaking to Izuku Midoriya when they first met, which accidentally exposed his identity. His lack of insight also demonstrates his incapability to voice a sound argument behind his intentions, like his conversation with his life counselor in high school, his failed attempt to persuade Izuku to let him sneak into the Culture Festival, and how he was unable to fool Hound Dog when he turned himself over to protect La Brava. Danjuro has little to no interest in money or objects of value. Instead, he chases after fame and reputation, which he tries to achieve through video recordings of his criminal acts. He claims that his ultimate goal is to write his name in history and inspire others who view his actions and are obsessed with achieving it, as he fears fading into obscurity after his death. He is admittedly very selfish and claims not to be afraid of trampling on the dreams of others as long as it furthers his own; however, he does have a soft spot for his fan and crime partner La Brava.
