0Izuku Midoriya, also known as Deku, is the main protagonist of My Hero Academia and the handpicked successor to All Might. Driven by a deep-seated desire to save everyone with a smile, he seeks to become the world's greatest hero and protect society from the threat of villains.
Full Name: Izuku Midoriya
Hero Name: Deku (which originally meant "good for nothing" but was repurposed to mean "you can do it")
Age: 16 years old (currently)
Height: 166 cm (5'5?")
Birthday: July 15th
Quirk: One For All, a transferable Quirk that stockpiles immense physical power and allows him to access the unique abilities of its previous users. His body initially breaks under the strain of this power.
Affiliation: U.A. High School (Class 1-A)
Izuku is a teenager of average height with round eyes, freckles on his cheeks, and messy, unkempt dark green hair that sticks up in tufts. His body is noticeably muscular and heavily scarred, particularly on his right hand and arm, due to the repeated injuries sustained from overusing his Quirk. His primary hero costume features a green full-body jumpsuit with white accents, a signature red belt, sturdy red boots, and a yellow cape that once belonged to the hero Gran Torino.
Izuku is characterized as an exceptionally empathetic, polite, and fiercely determined individual who frequently analyzes hero battles in his notebooks. He is primarily fueled by an innate, self-sacrificial drive to protect others, often putting his own physical well-being at risk to save a person in danger. Unlike those who fight for fame or status, Izuku represents the pure ideal of a hero—someone who extends a helping hand to anyone in need, including trying to understand and save the villains themselves.
Born Quirkless in a world where superpowers are the norm, Izuku faced severe bullying and isolation during his childhood, primarily from his former friend Katsuki Bakugo. Despite the odds, his bravery during a villain attack impressed the Number One Hero, All Might.
