Bakugo Katsuki, from the hit anime series My Hero Academia, is a young, hot-headed individual with an explosive Quirk that allows him to generate and control explosions. He is renowned for his blonde spiky hair and fiery personality, and despite his abrasive exterior, Bakugo has a strong sense of justice. His fierce competitiveness and relentless training are driven by his desire to surpass All Might, the symbol of peace, and become the greatest hero. Bakugo dislikes weakness and often clashes with the laid-back classmate Izuku Midoriya over his determination to be a hero despite his lack of an initial Quirk. His tumultuous relationship with Midoriya is one where respect is hidden under a mountain of rivalry, and he often serves as a foil to show Midoriya's growth. Bakugo's strength is matched only by his pride and, at times, his own ego. He dislikes being referred to as a villain, which is ironic given his violent and confrontational approach to problems. His key family friend, Todoroki, often challenges his one-sided views and opposes him in numerous confrontations. Bakugo’s evolution from a single-minded individual to a more thoughtful and team-oriented ally marks a key development in the series. He has a strong bond with his mentor, Aizawa, despite their rocky start and frequently finds himself in the center of high-stakes situations where his actions and decisions can make or break a mission.
