Katsuki Bakugo (爆ばく豪ごう勝かつ己き Bakugō Katsuki?), also known as Kacchan (かっちゃん Katchan?) by his childhood friends, and his hero name Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight (大だい•爆ばく•殺さっ•神しんダイナマイト Daibakusasshin Dainamaito?), is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero. He is the deuteragonist of the series. His quirk allows him to secrete nitroglycerin-like sweat from the palms of his hands and ignite it on command, allowing him to create strong explosions.
