Main characters

Izuku Midoriya (緑谷 出久, Midoriya Izuku) / Deku (デク)

Voiced by: Daiki Yamashita (Vomic and Anime) (Japanese); Justin Briner (English)

Nicknamed Deku (デク) (an alternate spelling of his name and which means "one who can't do anything"), he is a timid but kind boy who is extremely knowledgeable about heroes and dreams to be one himself like his idol, All Might, despite lacking a Quirk due to the trait required to have one being too diluted to be passed on in his family. However, when he steps up to save his childhood acquaintance Katsuki from an evil villain, All Might bestows upon him his Quirk One For All (ワン・フォー・オール, Wan Fō Ōru), a Quirk that becomes more powerful the more people it is given to, and results in the user being able to call upon great physical strength. At first, Izuku was only able to use the full power of his strength for specific moments, resulting in him severely damaging whichever part of his body he used. However he has since learned to channel the power throughout his body rather than in short bursts, but currently can only withstand around 8% of it. He eventually managed to perfect its use in his legs, creating a kick-related fighting style unique from All Might's punching style. Despite these limitations, he makes up for it with a keen sense of strategy (having written at least thirteen notebooks on other heroes, including his peers) and an instinctive desire to save people. He initially dislikes his nickname, but starts to like it once Ochako comments that she likes his nickname, as it also means "one who never gives up". Because of this, he instantly decided to use it as his Hero name, much to his own dismay.

Katsuki Bakugō (爆豪 勝己, Bakugō Katsuki)

Voiced by: Nobuhiko Okamoto (Anime), Yūichirō Umehara (Vomic) (Japanese); Clifford Chapin (English)

Katsuki is one of Izuku's childhood acquaintances and classmates in class 1-A, whom Izuku calls Kacchan (かっちゃん). He possesses the Quirk Explosion (爆破, Bakuha), which allows his palm sweat to become nitroglycerin and explode. He has made fun of Izuku for lacking a Quirk since childhood, despite them initially being close friends, and also the one who gave him his nickname as an insult. It was only after he grew up being praised by people around him for his Quirk and achievements that he became more egotistical and thought that others, particularly Izuku, are below him. He started to bully and became truly hostile to Izuku when his attempts to reach out to Katsuki out of concern are misinterpreted by Katsuki into thinking he was looking down on him as someone in need of saving. In the beginning of the series, he thinks that he is the strongest hero, and dreams of becoming richer and more famous than All Might. He stops picking on Izuku after the latter's attempt to save him from a villain, though he truly starts reflecting on himself only after Izuku defeated him in their battle training and seeing that many students possess greater and better skills than him. However, Katsuki's aggressive and conceited behaviour draws the attention of The League of Villains, who decide to kidnap him in order to convince him to join their ranks, but he is rescued with help from Izuku and some other classmates. This incident, combined with his discovering that Izuku is All Might's chosen successor forces Bakugō to seriously reevaluate his life and goals.

Ochako Uraraka (麗日 お茶子, Uraraka Ochako) / Uravity (ウラビティ, Urabiti)

Voiced by: Ayane Sakura (Japanese); Luci Christian (English)

Ochako, spelled "Ochaco" in the anime, is Izuku's best friend. Her Quirk is Zero Gravity (無重力（ゼログラビティ）, Zero Gurabiti), which allows her to make any object she touches with her fingertips float, although she will become nauseous if she uses the ability too much. Aside from Katsuki, she also refers Izuku as "Deku" but unlike the former, she calls him with his nickname out of affection, commenting that "Deku" gives the vibe of never giving up, and eventually switches to Deku-kun (デクくん), a move that prompted him to accept the name. She comes from a family of construction workers, and because there is not much of a market for them, they are poor. Due to this, Ochako aspires to become a hero for money so she can give her parents an easy life, after her father dissuaded her from following their footsteps in order for her to achieve her own goals. Ochako originally meets Izuku prior to U.A.'s entrance exam, after she stops him from falling over when he tripped on his own foot. This caused Izuku to develop a large crush on her (as he had "talked" to a girl), to the point of blushing and stammering every time he is with her. Izuku eventually returns the favor by saving her during the entrance exam, and several other characters later deduce that Ochako returns Izuku's feelings, with her even showing signs after a class mate suspected it with her try to deny it.

Tenya Iida (飯田 天哉, Īda Ten'ya) / Ingenium (インゲニウム, Ingeniumu)

Voiced by: Kaito Ishikawa (Japanese); J. Michael Tatum (English)

The president of class 1-A, a very studious boy who seems serious and scary at first glance, although he is just being honest and strict regarding qualifications to become a hero. During the entrance exam, he repeatedly chastises Izuku for what he perceives as being disrespect. However, after he witnesses Izuku selflessly save Ochako during the exam, he comes to the (false) belief that Izuku deduced the true nature of the exam. Concluding Izuku is better than him, Tenya immediately apologizes for his behavior and befriends him, despite Izuku's repeated attempts to tell him the truth. Tenya eventually becomes the class president after Izuku, who won by vote but was too nervous to hold the position, forfeited it to him. Tenya's Quirk is Engine (エンジン, Enjin), which gives him super-speed via jet engines in his legs. He comes from a well-known family, who have been professional heroes for generations. His older brother in particular, Ingenium, inspired him to become a hero that will make his family proud. Originally using his own name as his Hero name, Tenya inherits his brother's own name after he is crippled by Stain and forced to retire.

Shōto Todoroki (轟 焦凍, Todoroki Shōto)

Voiced by: Yūki Kaji (Japanese); David Matranga (English)

A student in class 1-A. His Quirk is Fire and Ice (半冷半燃, Hanrei Hannen), which makes the left side of his body control fire and the right side ice. He is considered the strongest student in the class. He is the youngest child of Endeavor, who was said to be the second top hero after All Might. However, his father only married his mother for her Quirk, in the hopes that he could sire a child who could exceed All Might, leading to an abuse-ridden childhood as all of his older siblings were unable to meet his expectations. Shōto's mother soon became afraid that Shōto would become like his father, leading to her burning his not yet active fire side with scalding water in hopes of making his father uninterested in him. Because she was later institutionalized in a mental hospital for her actions, Shōto intends to become a top hero using only his mother's Quirk instead of his father's as his way to disavow the latter. During his fight with Izuku, Shōto finally started to try accepting his Fire Quirk as his own instead of his father's. Afterward, he decided to overcome his inner struggle by meeting his mother, in the hope that they can get through their past together. So far Shōto has used his own name as his Hero name.

Toshinori Yagi (八木 俊典, Yagi Toshinori) / All Might (オールマイト, Ōru Maito)

Voiced by: Kenta Miyake, Tesshō Genda (Vomic) (Japanese); Christopher R. Sabat (English)

The world's greatest Hero, All Might's real Quirk is unknown to the public and most people conclude that he has some strength-enhancing Quirk. He passes his quirk on to Izuku after seeing the boy's bravery. He is a teacher at U.A. High School, doing his best to allow Izuku follow in his foot steps. His One For All Quirk enables him to pass on his powers to another, which he plans on doing as five years prior a fight with a Villain left All Might terribly injured to where he can only use his Quirk for three hours a day. This time limit later decreases gradually after passing his Quirk to Izuku, until it depletes completely. The nature of his Quirk is only known by Izuku, the school principal, Recovery Girl, and a select few other Pro Heroes (with Katsuki later finding it out), and must not be revealed at any cost in order not to destroy people's symbol of peace. He is drawn in the style of American comic book superheroes rather than in the Japanese manga style of other characters, though the style changes to a more traditional manga form when he returns to his "true form". After the final confront with his archenemy "All For One", the same Villain who injured him, All Might scones to the point where he can only use his Quirk for a few seconds, and he retires from being a hero, dedicating himself solely to his duties as a teacher and to raise Izuku as his successor.

While his transferring of Quirks allowed him to lengthen his lifespan, due to his battle with All Might he lies in a hospital in a critical condition, while he teaches Shigaraki to become his ideal successor, until he reappears to save his pupil from being captured by the heroes, leading to a final confrontation with All Might, which ends with his own defeat and arrest.

The general apathy of the public only caused Stain to fall deeper into darkness until he snapped and gave up on changing the world through peaceful means. Stain gave up on his dream of being a hero, and instead became a professional hero killer, sparing only those he considered "true heroes", a list which currently consists solely of All Might and Izuku. After his arrest, Izuku admits that on some level he admires and understands Stain's passion and idealism, but disapproves of his methods. After he is defeated and imprisoned a group of young villains, inspired by a corrupted version of Stain's ideals, begin appearing. His Quirk is "Bloodcurdle" (凝血, Gyōketsu), the ability to paralyze his opponent by licking their blood from his blade, even from scratches.
