Shoto is a moderately tall and rather muscular young man who is well-built for his age. He has quite long hair, though it doesn't pass his neck, and wears bangs, parted twice as to not obscure his vision. His hair is evenly split between two colours white on his right side and crimson red on his left, this unusual colouring being due to his Quirk. As another result of this, the left side of his face has a burnt scar due to his mother pouring boiling water on it when shoto was young.
