Kudou is the leader of the Resistance against evil tyrant All For One (AFO). He's a strong but not too muscular man in his mid twenties, usually wearing something like a soldier uniform. Kudou's quirk, Gearshift, allows the user to change the speed at which things accelerate through space. His hair is short, ginger and spiky, and his eyes are red. He has a big scar on his face. Kudou is a stoic, serious, cautious and a bit cynical. But with Yoichi he shows his soft and compassionate side.
