Izuku Midoriya (緑みどり谷や出いず久く, Midoriya Izuku ) ( Izuku Midoriya in the official Russian edition), also known as Deku (デク, Deku ) ( Deku in the official Russian edition) is the main character of the manga and anime My Hero Academia. Despite the fact that he was born without a quirk, he managed to attract the attention of the legendary hero All Might, after which Izuku Midoriya became the ninth owner of the “ One For All ” quirk and got the opportunity to enter the U.A. Academy in the hero department. Izuku is a slightly short guy for his age with a rounded face, small symmetrical freckles on both cheeks, large green eyes and dark green curly hair that sticks out in different directions and casts noticeable shadows on itself. All these characteristic features give him a very sloppy and at the same time energetic appearance. He was originally quite thin, but after training with All Might, he gained well-developed muscles. During his junior high school years, he wore a Japanese black Gakuran uniform with yellow buttons. In UA, he wears the standard men's uniform: a light gray jacket over a white shirt and dark green pants, along with a red tie that he doesn't tie properly. Additionally, Izuku always wears tall red boots with white soles. Izuku's first hero costume consisted of a light green jumpsuit with a red belt, black elbow and knee pads, white gloves, and his signature red boots. He also wore a mask with ear-like protrusions reminiscent of All Might's hairstyle and a respirator in the shape of a smile. This suit was severely damaged during his training battle with Katsuki Bakugo , resulting in Izuku being forced to have it repaired. During the Fake Disaster Zone Arc, Izuku wore a U.A. uniform, consisting of a blue tracksuit with a collar and white stripes forming the letters "UA". In addition, he wore a black respirator with knee and elbow pads. Subsequently, Izuku's heroic costume underwent some changes, which is why it began to look more durable and combat-ready. The green color has become darker, the white panels on his torso have become dark gray, his knee pads have become significantly longer and now extend to his hips, and his gloves are decorated with blue stripes. His respirator is now metal and has eight small holes. Also in this costume, Izuku does not wear his mask, although it is still present and now resembles a hood. After the battle with Shoto, the fingers on his right hand became slightly deformed and two scars appeared on either side of his hand. His right arm received several more scars from his fight with Muscle . After recovering, Izuku wears a compression sleeve on his right arm to prevent further injury. During the Hero License Exam Arc, Izuku's suit was once again modified to improve his fighting ability. He now has armored iron soles attached to Izuku's red boots to enhance his kicks. In addition to the soles, Hatsume created special support gloves for Izuku to go with his suit to perform long-range attacks. Izuku is a very timid, reserved and polite guy. At the beginning of the story, due to being bullied as a child for being born without a Quirk, he looks stiff and expressionless, especially compared to Katsuki. As a teenager, Izuku was the target of bullying, the main instigator of which was Bakugou. But despite this, he continues to consider Katsuki his friend, and after entering U.A. and defeating him in the Trial Battle, he became more confident and brave. Izuku is also diligent and strong-willed. Izuku is incredibly determined. From the moment he decided to become a hero, he writes down in his notebooks everything he learns about Heroes and their Quirks, including Yuei's students. He is very caring and will never leave someone in trouble, even if he knows that he is not strong enough to protect. When someone is in trouble, Izuku always tries to help, even though it's none of his business. Often he does this on a whim, without immediately realizing what happened.Izuku has a habit of thinking long and hard about things that interest him and muttering to himself. Izuku's heroic spirit is recognized by many, he has also earned the loyalty and gratitude of people who were previously antagonistic to him, such as Tenya Iida , Shoto Todoroki , Kota Izumi , leading him to be recognized as a true hero by Stain and Lady Nagant . Of all the heroes, it was All Might who had the greatest influence on Midoriya's life, forming most of the goals and beliefs that Izuku has followed since childhood. Many of Izuku's decisions and actions are inspired by his desire to become a hero like All Might, and as such, he has a deep respect for his idol, going so far as to collect various hero-related merchandise and emulate some of his traits. Having inherited his Quirk, Izuku has made it his main goal to live up to his idol's legacy, as he is always looking for ways to improve his use of his Quirk, realizing the enormous pressure that came with the official retirement of the No. 1 Hero. Izuku respects All Might so much that, according to the latter, it became for the guy, a certain burden that constrained him. Izuku seems to have a more brash and rough side, which mostly comes out during battle. This side makes him more like Bakugou - quite loud and unwavering, with a strong desire to win. This is because he sees Katsuki as the embodiment of what someone who strives to win should be. The hero also admitted that he doesn’t really like this side of him and tries to keep it under control. Izuku also has an empathic side, having developed a desire to understand the villains he faces and potentially save them from themselves, even when everyone else around him thinks it's impossible. At first, Tomura believed himself to be a madman who just wants to hurt others senselessly, but after learning about his tragic history and feeling pain in his heart due to their bond between One For All and All For One, it once again strengthened his belief in that a great hero is one who saves others rather than kills, and because of this, he wanted to find out how they became villains and see if there was any way to prevent the fight. After the end of the Paranormal Liberation War, Izuku dramatically changed his behavior. Suffering from the trauma of the war and seeing countless innocent people suffer, Izuku becomes colder and more distant towards society. The overwhelming stress and burden causes him to rush into battle and leave behind All Might and the other heroes watching over him to ensure no one else suffers because of him. This increasingly active, serious side of his character even caused ordinary people to notice that he did not seem like a hero. One For All (ワン・フォー・オール , Wan Fō Ōru ) : Izuku's quirk, which he received from All Might. This Quirk gives him superhuman strength, agility, and mobility by channeling power through his body. Thanks to this Quirk, Izuku increases his physical abilities (strength, speed, endurance and agility) to superhuman levels. In the early days of using One For All, Izuku caused enormous damage to himself, including breaking his limbs. Recently, Izuku's reflexes and speed have improved significantly, allowing him to hold his own against particularly strong opponents for longer. Izuku can focus his accumulated power in one part of his body or distribute it evenly throughout his body, although concentrating the power in one part of the body causes a huge strain, causing him considerable pain. Currently, Midoriya can control 45% of his Quirk's full power without breaking limbs, but his normal output is 30%. The "core" of One For All, which was hidden behind the physical strength accumulated over several generations, contains the quirks of its past owners. This gives Izuku the opportunity to use the quirks of past owners of One For All. He can even use multiple learned quirks at the same time, giving him even more options in battle. Known One For All Quirks Midoriya has gained so far: Speed switching (変へん速そく, Hensoku ) : a quirk that belonged to the second owner of One For All. This Quirk allows one to change the speed of an object the wearer touches. Fa Jin (発はっ勁けい, Hakkei ) : a quirk that belonged to the third owner of One For All. This Quirk allows Izuku to store and create kinetic energy while performing movements, which subsequently allows him to use the accumulated energy in an explosive burst of speed and power. Premonition of danger (危き機き感かん知ち, Kiki kanchi ) : a quirk owned by Hikage Shinomori , the fourth owner of One For All. The Quirk allows its user to sense threats in their surrounding area. Izuku describes its effect as a stabbing feeling in the head. Black whip (黒鞭クロムチ, Kuro Muchi ) : a quirk owned by Daigoro Banjo , the fifth owner of One For All. Allows you to create whips of dark energy and use them to grab objects at long distances, as well as pull the user towards these objects. Smoke screen (煙えん幕まく, Enmaku ) : a quirk belonging to En , the sixth owner of One For All. Allows Izuku to create a thick cloud of smoke from his body. This smoke can cover a very large area and obscure the view of opponents. Flight (浮ふ遊ゆう, Fuyū ) : a quirk owned by Nana Shimura , the seventh owner of One For All. This quirk allows Izuku to maintain his position and move in the air. General Abilities Combat Skills : Izuku has decent fighting skills and physical attributes above the average student. However, he improved his physical capabilities through training, which was enough to provide valuable assistance during his battle with the Stain . He usually relied on his fists to attack, however he decided to change his fighting style based on his kicks, which are stronger than his arms. Keen Mind : Izuku has proven to be extremely smart on many occasions. He showed deep observation and analysis skills. Typically, his intelligence helped him more than his Quirk. Izuku is able to formulate tactics to take advantage of a situation and uses his knowledge to creatively utilize other people's Quirks to their fullest, such as working with Tsuyu and Minoru to escape with them from the villains in the flood zone in USJ . Izuku also has extensive knowledge about Pro Heroes and their Quirks. Thanks to Izuku's intelligence, he figured out the mechanics of One For All, allowing him to use his Quirk more effectively in a short period of time. Gran Torino even praised Izuku's intelligence, saying that Izuku is a person who thinks before he acts. High Pain Threshold : On many occasions, Izuku has demonstrated that he can endure large amounts of pain. This is mainly due to Quirk abuse; however, he was able to move despite feeling excruciating pain. Gamma Costume (コスチュームγガンマ, Kosuchūmu Ganma ) : This is an upgrade for Izuku's second costume, which Hatsume Mei created in response to the hero's decision to change his fighting style, thereby creating the Kick Style . The new additions consist of hand braces to support Izuku's arms to prevent further damage, as well as iron soles to increase his kicking power. [4] Iron Soles (アイアンソール, Aiansōru ) : Made by Mei, iron armored soles are attached to Izuku's red boots. After a kick, the soles absorb and redistribute kinetic energy back to increase the force of the kick. [19] Support Gloves : Hatsume has given Izuku another upgrade to his suit, adding high-tech support gloves. [20] They allow Midoriya to use the compressed air created by the Full Coverage as projectiles by snapping his finger. [8] Full Cover Gauntlet (フルガントレット, Furu Gantoretto ) : Created by Melissa Shield , it was given to Izuku after she learned that he was limiting his Quirk . The gauntlet allows him to use his quirk 100% without damaging his arm. The gauntlet was later broken in Izuku Midoriya and All Might's battle against Wolfram . Speed switching (変へん速そく, Hensoku ) : a quirk that belonged to the second owner of One For All. This Quirk allows one to change the speed of an object the wearer touches. Fa Jin (発はっ勁けい, Hakkei ) : a quirk that belonged to the third owner of One For All. This Quirk allows Izuku to store and create kinetic energy while performing movements, which subsequently allows him to use the accumulated energy in an explosive burst of speed and power. Premonition of danger (危き機き感かん知ち, Kiki kanchi ) : a quirk owned by Hikage Shinomori , the fourth owner of One For All. The Quirk allows its user to sense threats in their surrounding area. Izuku describes its effect as a stabbing feeling in the head. Black whip (黒鞭クロムチ, Kuro Muchi ) : a quirk owned by Daigoro Banjo , the fifth owner of One For All. Allows you to create whips of dark energy and use them to grab objects at long distances, as well as pull the user towards these objects. Smoke screen (煙えん幕まく, Enmaku ) : a quirk belonging to En , the sixth owner of One For All. Allows Izuku to create a thick cloud of smoke from his body. This smoke can cover a very large area and obscure the view of opponents. Flight (浮ふ遊ゆう, Fuyū ) : a quirk owned by Nana Shimura , the seventh owner of One For All. This quirk allows Izuku to maintain his position and move in the air.

I always want to answer with a smile on my face... I want to become a super cool hero... That's why everyone gives their best! I'm afraid to even imagine what your circumstances are, or how strong your resolve is...

I'm going to win! I will defeat you!" [23] (Addresses Tenya Iida ) “I... I want to talk about a lot, but... that’s later! All Might also told me... getting involved in other people's affairs is one of the main qualities of a hero! " [6] (Addresses Toshinori Yagi ) “I will do everything in my power...

Moreover, their target turned out to be us, the students. I have to report this to Aizawa-sensei and the kitties! If I can save them, then I just have to do it, you know?” [25] (Izuku explains his motives to Mirio Togata) "Helping everyone with a smile on my face no matter what... And not having others worry about me... Defeating villains and saving people without any doubt... I want to become... the greatest hero."< span title=" My Hero Academia Chapter 126 "> [26] Izuku is a slightly short guy for his age with a rounded face, small symmetrical freckles on both cheeks, large green eyes and dark green curly hair sticking out in different directions and casting noticeable shadows on themselves. All these characteristic features give him a very sloppy and at the same time energetic appearance. Initially, he was quite thin, but after training with the Almighty, he acquired well-developed muscles. After the battle with Shoto, the fingers on his right hand were slightly deformed and two scars appeared on both sides of his arm. His right arm received several more scars after the fight with the Muscle. After recovery, he wears a compression sleeve on his right arm to prevent new injuries. Izuku is a very shy, reserved and polite guy. At the beginning of the story, because of the bullying in childhood for being born without a Quirk, he looks pinched and expressionless, especially against the background of Katsuki. As a teenager, he was the object of bullying, the main initiator of which was Bakugan. But despite this, he continues to consider Katsuki his friend, and after entering Yue and defeating him in the "Trial Battle", he became more confident and bolder. Izuku is also distinguished by diligence and strong will. Izuku is incredibly single-minded. From the moment he decided to become a hero, he writes down in his notebooks everything he learns about Heroes and their Quirks, including Yuey's students. He is very caring and will never leave someone in trouble, even if he knows that he is not strong enough to protect himself. When someone has problems, And Ruku always tries to help, although it's none of his business. He often does this on a whim, not immediately realizing what has happened. Of all the heroes, it was the Almighty who had the greatest impact on Midori's life and formed most of the goals and beliefs that Izuku has followed since childhood. Many of Izuku's decisions and actions are inspired by his desire to become a hero like the Almighty, and thus he deeply respects his idol, even to the point of collecting various items related to the hero and imitating some of his traits. Having inherited his quirk, Izuku set his main goal to match the legacy of his idol, as he is always looking for ways to improve his use of Quirk, realizing the enormous pressure that came after the official resignation of Hero No. 1. Izuku respects the Almighty so much that, according to the latter, it became a kind of burden for the guy that held him down. Izuku seems to have a more brash and gruff side, which mostly shows up during combat. This side makes him look more like Bakugo — quite noisy and unwavering, with a strong desire to win. This is because he sees Akatsuki as the embodiment of who someone who strives for victory should be. The hero also admitted that he doesn't really like this side of him and tries to keep it under control. Izuku also has an empathic side, having developed a desire to understand the villains he's faced and potentially save them from themselves, even when everyone else around him thinks it's unrealistic. At first, Tomura considered himself a madman who just wants to senselessly hurt others, but after learning about his tragic story and feeling pain in his heart because of their connection between One For All and All For One, it re-strengthened his belief that a great hero is someone who He saves others, not kills them, and because of that, he wanted to find out how they became villains and see if there was any way to prevent a fight. "Helping everyone with a smile on their face, no matter what… And so that others don't worry about me.… Defeat villains and save people, without any doubt… I want to become... the greatest hero." - Izuku's words. Inko Midori, the mother of the Language, was always very worried about him, even before he developed a quirk. Shota Aizawa is the homeroom teacher and a beetle.Initially, Aizawa stubbornly did not believe in Midori because of his problematic quirk, pointing out the utter uselessness of it after literally one blow. However, Izuku proved to him that there was still potential. Since Shota is Midori Yi's teacher, he still listens to his advice regarding his quirk and heroic activities in general. However, Aizawa's cold and calculating personality conflicts with the personality and mindset of the Language, which creates problems for an open relationship between them. Of all the students in Class 1-A, Midori (with the exception of Akatsuki) is the most problematic because of those moments when he does not hold back, uses his quirk, harming himself at the same time. In general, Shota refers to Izuku as a "problem child". Perhaps another reason for the disagreement in the relationship is the fanatical following of the Language of his idol Almighty, with whom Aizawa also does not get along. Izuku and Akatsuki have known each other since early childhood, but their relationship cannot be called friendly. From the moment Akatsuki found out about Midori's lack of quirks and, he began to mock and humiliate the guy, coming up with the offensive nickname "Deku", which he calls him. Izuku surprised Katsuki by trying to save him from the villain slug. Later, after the incident, Bakugo caught up with him and yelled at him for that attempt, calling him a "total loser" (most likely because of wounded pride). Yi Ruku's heroic act helped the Almighty choose an heir for One for All, thus Akatsuki is indirectly responsible for his acceptance into U.A
