Hero Name: Eraser Head Name: Shota Aizawa Quirk: Erasure Birthday: November 8th (30 years old) Height: 183cm Blood Type: B Likes: Cats, Guest Personality: Soft-hearted despite appearances A professional hero active under the name Eraser Head. He is not widely known by the general public. This is partly because his Quirk's effects are not visually flashy and he exudes a lethargic, weary aura, but primarily because he hates media exposure, believing it interferes with his work. In the hero industry, however, he is quite famous. While most U.A. faculty are called by their hero names, he is usually addressed as "Mr. Aizawa" by students and teachers alike, likely because he rarely uses his hero name and introduces himself by his real name. He does instruct students to use his hero name outside of school, and heroes close to him often call him "Eraser" for short. He is a rationalist who hates wasting time above all else. He often subsists on jelly drinks and maintains a tired appearance with long black hair and stubble. He carries a sleeping bag everywhere and climbs into it the moment he finds a spare second, giving off an impression of laziness to those around him. His rationalism is thorough even as a teacher; he has expelled 154 students he deemed hopeless, including an entire class last year. While he appears cold and heartless, he believes "there is nothing more cruel than letting someone chase a dream they have no chance of achieving." His harshness is a form of kindness intended to prepare them for the life-threatening reality of hero work. Despite his cold exterior, he observes human relationships and subtle psychological states very closely, taking deep care not to let his students break. He can be seen faintly smiling at his students' growth, showing a compassionate side behind his cool facade. Recovery Girl has remarked that he is a "soft-hearted man after all." His costume is simple and rational, consisting of a capture weapon wrapped around his neck like a scarf. He hides goggles under the capture weapon to prevent enemies from knowing where he is looking, which he wears during combat. He always carries eye drops to combat his dry eye. He uses a "capture weapon" made of carbon fibers woven with a special metal alloy, which he also uses for close-quarters combat. He carries a knife on his belt in case his capture weapon becomes unusable. His pouches also contain caltrops. His Quirk is "Erasure." It nullifies (pauses) the Quirk of anyone he looks at for as long as his eyes are open. The effect is canceled when he blinks. While Erasure is active, his eyes turn red and his hair stands on end. Because he suffers from dry eye, he cannot use it for long periods and frequently uses eye drops.
