Appearance: Hizashi is a tall, slim man with long blond hair, which he wears spiked upwards in a large tuft behind his head when working, and a small brown mustache. He has rectangular eyes with concentric pupils and greenish-yellow irises; he is almost always seen with a large smile on his face. During his second year as a U.A. student, his hero costume was similar to the current one, although he wore a red shirt underneath his jacket, and the shoulder pads and the directional speaker were not added yet. Hizashi carried megaphones attached to his wrists that he used to boost his Quirk and speakers around his calves. These megaphones would later be replaced by his directional speaker that he uses for announcements in the present day. His Hero Costume consists of a black jacket with a very tall collar, upturned and complete with studs, and matching black pants and knee-high boots. He sports tan shoulder pads and a red belt and elbow pads, all studded, and black fingerless gloves. His neck is always obscured by a directional speaker which he uses with his Quirk. He always wears a pair of headphones ("HAGE" is written on the headband in the manga) and a pair of orange-tinted shades. Eight years following the Final War, Hizashi gains some creases under his eyes, and his hair has grown longer and is now spiked straight upward. His updated costume is nearly identical to his old one, with his directional speaker being redesigned, and he wears his now-gray headphones, with the words "HAGE" written on the band, upside down to accommodate his hair, though he will sometimes wear his old set of headphones. He also now wears circular glasses. Personality: Hizashi maintains the eccentric persona of a radio host. He often poses when he talks and maintains a certain level of excitement or volume, regardless of the situation. His attitude made Kyoka Jiro mistake him for a simple announcer, rather than an actual Pro Hero. When in front of a crowd of people, he often attempts to bring his audience up to his level by getting them involved (he sometimes refers to them as his 'listeners', even while on a live stage). He will continue to act this way regardless of the crowds' response. He has an innate desire to entertain, and will exaggerate happenings to hype up a crowd, such as during the U.A. Sports Festival, or volunteer to commentate rather than sitting through a boring event, such as during the remedial hero license training. Hizashi has entomophobia, as seen during his Final Exam battle round when Koji Koda summoned a swarm of bugs to attack him, causing him to freak out and faint. Because of this, he admits to preferring urban areas over forested ones. Though he tends to be a jovial individual, Hizashi is capable of great rage as demonstrated by his reaction to discovering that Kurogiri is a Nomu created from the corpse of his late friend, Oboro Shirakumo and his confrontation with the man responsible, Kyudai Garaki. He expressed further grief and outrage over how the doctor's scientific gifts and knowledge could have helped humanity, but that he instead chose to use them for evil. Much later, he angrily punched the man for what he did to his friend. As opposed to Shota, who is more sensitive and emotional when it comes to the grief of Oboro's death, Hizashi has surprisingly proven himself to be the more solemn and down to earth of the pair. He initially refused to believe that Oboro was Kurogiri, and following their meeting with him in Tartarus, Hizashi fell into a silent rage, saying that he would kill whoever was responsible. During the Final War, Hizashi was furious when Kurogiri warped him and Shota out to sea, shouting at Shota to forget about any hope of bringing their friend back and wanting the Nomu destroyed so that Oboro could finally rest in peace. However, Hizashi was shocked and brought to tears when it turned out that a part of Oboro still existed within Kurogiri, and by reaching him, helped all the Heroes regroup so that they could face All For One. Quirk: Hizashi's Quirk(Voice) allows him to increase the volume of his voice, giving him an ability that is similar to a sonic scream. The sound from Hizashi's Quirk is strong enough to cause people's ears to bleed from far away. The only known weakness of this Quirk is that the loud sounds do not travel well underground, making this Quirk ineffective against anything that is underground or separated from him by layers of earth.
