Midoriya Izuku was just a regular middle school student in a world where people with superpowers known as Quirks are the norm. However, he dreams of one day becoming a Hero, despite being bullied by his classmates for not having a Quirk. After being the only one to try and save his childhood friend Katsuki from a Villain, All Might, the world's greatest Hero transfers his own quirk, One For All, to Midoriya. The story follows Midoriya's entrance into Yuuei High School, a Hero Academy that aims to train and raise their students into great heroes.

Endeavor
A Hero with immense flame powers who is a legend at Yuuei High School. His crime stopping record has never been surpassed, but despite that, he is considered only the second among all heroes, the first being All Might. He raised his son, Shouto Todoroki with the sole purpose of making of him a hero to surpass All Might, to the point of choosing to marry Shouto's mother only because of her Quirk, in order to have his child inherit her powers as well. He constantly pushed his son to train to become stronger ever since he was 5 years old and even sent his own wife to a mental hospital after she injured Shouto out of fear of Endeavor's influence, leading Shouto to hate him.

Fumikage Tokoyami
Age: 15 Birthday: October 30 Height: 158 cm (5'2") Affiliation: U.A. Quirk: Dark Shadow A very serious-minded student in class 1-A whose head resembles that of a crow's. His Quirk, "Dark Shadow" gives him control of a sentient shadow that has a variety of uses, from attacking to defense to support. Within a dark environment, his shadow becomes more powerful but harder to control. Vice versa, if he is in a environment with a lot of light, it becomes easier to control but far weaker.

Ochako Uraraka
Age: 15 Birthday: December 27 Blood Type: B Height: 156 cm (5'1") Affiliation: U.A. Quirk: Zero Gravity Ochako is Izuku's best friend. Her Quirk is Zero Gravity 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 to Izuku as "Deku" but unlike the former, she calls him this nickname out of affection, commenting that "Deku" gives the vibe of never giving up. She eventually switches to Deku-kun 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. Ochako originally meets Izuku prior to Yuuei's entrance exam, after she stops him from falling over after 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 Yuuga later deduces that Ochako returns Izuku's feelings, despite her attempts to deny this. (Source: Wikipedia)

Izuku Midoriya
Age: 14-16 Birthday: July 15 Blood type: O Height: 166 cm (5'5") Affiliation: U.A. Quirk: One For All Izuku Midoriya is the main protagonist of Boku no Hero Academia. Though originally born without a Quirk, he manages to catch the attention of the legendary hero All Might and has since become his close pupil and a student at UA. Izuku is a very timid and polite boy. Due to being bullied since childhood for being born without a Quirk, he is initially portrayed as insecure, being more reserved and not self expressive, especially in front of Katsuki. However, after being accepted into UA and facing Katsuki during Battle Training, he has gradually become more confident and brave. Izuku is also very diligent and strong willed. Since he greatly admires Heroes and has always aimed to be one, he has a habit of writing down in his notebooks all he knows about heroes and their quirks, including other UA students. He is a very caring person, and will never hesitate to rescue someone in danger, even if he knows he's not strong enough. When someone has a personal problem, Izuku will always try to help, even if it's not his business. Izuku also has the tendency to overthink with anything that grabs his attention, which makes him start mumbling to himself a lot. (Source: Boku no Hero Academia Wiki)

Shouta Aizawa
Age: 30 Birthday: November 8 Height: 183 cm (6'0") Affiliation: U.A. Quirk: Erasure The homeroom teacher for class 1-A. He always looks extremely tired but hates to waste time. He is a Hero known as Eraserhead whose Quirk Erasure is to nullify others' Quirks so long as they remain in his line of sight. If he blinks, his Quirk deactivates, so he always wears goggles to prevent enemies from figuring out whose quirk he is nullifying, effectively creating confusion. Continued use of his Quirk gives him dry eye, which makes him unable to use it for some time after. He is a person moved primarily by logic, as he tries not to fuss about his appearance. He tends to be blunt and rather flatlined when it comes to his ideals and explanations about things. When he has a particular belief, he will state it without holding anything back. He often comes off as cold and apathetic, showing very little energy and sometimes letting his own students resolve certain issues by themselves. In spite of his apathetic traits, Shota does seem to genuinely care about his students, and will go to great lengths to protect them from danger. He did not hesitate to react to the Villains presence both at the USJ, and at the Field Trip lodge. He also has expressed his belief in his students on multiple occasions (Source: Wikipedia, Boku no Hero Academia Wikia)
