Shoto originally had a cold, aloof personality, which stemmed from his abusive upbringing and complicated family life. Focused and unemotional, Shoto preferred to keep to himself instead of hanging out with other people. Shoto became kinder to others and willing to let more people in. He even gained a sense of humor, and despite being a bit socially awkward, he's made quite a few friends during his time at U.A.
