My Hero Academia is set in a world where most people are born with a special power called a Quirk. Izuku Midoriya was born without one, yet he dreams of becoming a hero like All Might, the greatest of them all. The story follows Izuku at U.A. High School, Japan's most famous hero academy. The cast falls into clear groups: the students of Class 1-A, the U.A. teachers, professional heroes, and the villains of the League of Villains. This page covers 18 characters: 10 students from Class 1-A, two students from other classes, two teachers, two pro heroes and two villains. For each one you get their Quirk, personality, role in the early story and voice actors, including Brazilian dub voices where a source names them. No spoilers.
The protagonist. Izuku Midoriya was born Quirkless in a world where almost everyone has a power, but he never let go of his dream of becoming a hero. A devoted hero fan, he fills notebooks with analyses of other people's abilities. After meeting All Might, he inherits his power, One For All, which is far too strong for his untrained body at first. He enrols in U.A.'s Class 1-A. Voiced by Daiki Yamashita.
One of the strongest students in Class 1-A. His Quirk, Half-Cold Half-Hot, creates ice from his right side and fire from his left. As the son of pro hero Endeavor, he has a strained relationship with his father and at first refuses to use his fire side. Calm and reserved, he gradually opens up to Izuku and the rest of the class. Voiced by Yuki Kaji.
Izuku's classmate and one of his first friends at U.A. Her Quirk, Zero Gravity, makes anything she touches with her fingertips weightless, though overusing it makes her nauseous. Friendly, practical and determined, she trains hard to improve at hand-to-hand combat. She is the one who gives the nickname Deku a positive spin, linking it to the idea of someone who can do it. Voiced by Ayane Sakura.
Class 1-A's class representative, known for following the rules to the letter. His Quirk, Engine, gives him engines in his calves that make him extremely fast. He speaks formally, gestures constantly and takes student life very seriously. He comes from a family of heroes and soon becomes one of Izuku and Uraraka's closest friends. Voiced by Kaito Ishikawa.
Class 1-A student whose Quirk, Hardening, makes his skin as tough as rock, useful both for attacking and for shielding others. Loyal, upbeat and honest, he believes a hero should stand firm and never back down. He gets along with almost everyone in the class and is a big fan favourite. Voiced by Toshiki Masuda.
Class 1-A student with the Frog Quirk: she can do anything a frog can, such as jump high, cling to walls, swim well and use a long tongue. Calm and direct, she always says exactly what she thinks, but kindly. She asks her friends to call her Tsu, and her hero name is Froppy. Voiced by Aoi Yuki.
Class 1-A student admitted to U.A. by recommendation. Her Quirk, Creation, lets her produce non-living objects from her body, as long as she understands how they are made, which is why she studies so much and is one of the top students. Polite and responsible, she is vice representative of the class and often plans the group's strategy. Voiced by Marina Inoue.
Izuku's childhood friend and biggest rival. His Quirk, Explosion, lets him set off blasts from the sweat on his palms. Aggressive, proud and very talented, he wants to be the number one hero and refuses to fall behind anyone, least of all Izuku. Under the anger he is a hard-working student and a sharp fighter. Voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto.
Japan's greatest hero, known as the Symbol of Peace. His presence alone reassures the public and scares criminals. Early on, Izuku learns he hides a much thinner, frailer form, and the hero chooses Izuku to inherit his power, One For All. He later starts teaching at U.A. Voiced by Kenta Miyake in Japanese and Nestor Chiesse in the Brazilian dub.
Homeroom teacher of Class 1-A and a pro hero known as Eraser Head. His Quirk, Erasure, cancels someone's Quirk for as long as he keeps his eyes on them. He always looks tired, but he is strict and demanding with his students because he takes the job of hero seriously. Voiced by Junichi Suwabe.
Class 1-A student whose Quirk, Electrification, releases electricity around his body. If he pushes past his limit, his brain short-circuits and he is left dazed for a while, which his classmates love to tease him about. Laid-back and outgoing, he provides a lot of the comic relief and hangs out with Kirishima and Bakugo. In team fights he is good at hitting several enemies at once. Voiced by Tasuku Hatanaka.
Class 1-A student with a bird's head and a gloomy style. His Quirk, Dark Shadow, is a shadow creature that lives inside him, fights at his side and has its own personality. It grows weaker in light and stronger, but harder to control, in darkness. He talks in a dramatic, solemn way but is a calm and loyal classmate. Voiced by Yoshimasa Hosoya.
A U.A. student from the General Course rather than the hero course. His Quirk, Brainwashing, makes anyone who answers him follow his commands. Because his power sounds villainous, he has always been told he is not hero material, which leaves him bitter at first. He still shares Class 1-A's dream and wants to prove himself. Voiced by Wataru Hatano.
A third-year and member of the Big Three, the strongest students at U.A. His Quirk, Permeation, lets him pass through objects and people. It is hard to use, and he turned it into a fighting style through years of training. Cheerful and always smiling, he is known for bad jokes and a positive attitude. His hero name is Lemillion. Voiced by Tarusuke Shingaki.
One of Japan's top-ranked pro heroes and Shoto Todoroki's father. His Quirk, Hellflame, produces extremely powerful flames. He is ambitious and fixated on surpassing All Might, and that fixation weighs on his family, especially Shoto. One of the strongest heroes in the series, he gets a much bigger role in later seasons, including Season 5. Voiced by Tetsu Inada.
A young, high-ranking pro hero. His Quirk, Fierce Wings, gives him red wings whose feathers he can control one by one, to fly, attack or rescue many people at once. Relaxed and always quick on his feet, he is one of the most popular characters with fans. Voiced by Yuichi Nakamura.
Leader of the League of Villains and the series' main villain. His Quirk, Decay, disintegrates anything he touches with all five fingers. Early on he acts childish and impulsive, treating crime like a game, and he deeply hates All Might and hero society. Voiced by Koki Uchiyama.
A member of the League of Villains. Smiling and unpredictable, she has the Transform Quirk, which lets her take on other people's appearance and makes her dangerous at infiltration. She stays cheerful even in the most dangerous situations, which makes her hard to read. She is one of the best-known villains in the series. Voiced by Misato Fukuen.
