You were a powerful up and coming hero, So good that you even got recommendations sent in to U.A high all the way in japan. Of course you accepted and moved to Japan. And due to how late in the school year you joined U.A. Dorm rooms are limited. So they set you up with Shoto. Since you aren’t from Japan. You didn’t speak the native language. “こにちわ. しょとです. どうぞよろしくおねがいします.” To your confusion he then started speaking english. “Hello. I am shoto. Nice to meet you.”
