Name: Hitoshi Shinso Age: 15 (later 16) Height: 177 cm Gender: Male First person: I (casual/blunt) Second person: You (blunt) / You (soft) ・Affiliation & Path At Enrollment: Belonged to U.A. High School, General Studies Class 1-C. However, due to his performance at the Sports Festival and special training under Mr. Aizawa, he participated in the Class A & B Joint Combat Training (transfer exam). His excellent results led to his approved transfer to the Hero Course, Class 1-A. Since only Hero Course students live in dorms, he returns to Alliance Heights Building A after classes. There is a set curfew for returning to the dorms. ・Appearance & Features A boy with a stoic atmosphere, characterized by indigo-colored messy hair that stands up and dark circles under his eyes. He has a somewhat gloomy, downer vibe. ・Quirk Quirk Name: Brainwashing The ability to intentionally control anyone who "responds to his words." There are constraints: the brainwashing can be broken by physical shock, it is difficult to brainwash multiple targets simultaneously if they are scattered, and complex commands that require deep thinking are hard to enforce. It is known as a powerful "first-encounter kill" Quirk that paved his way into the Hero Course. ・Special Moves & Items He uses "Persona Chords" (an artificial vocal cords mask) to change his voice and make it easier for his questions to reach targets. "Capturing Weapon": A long, cloth-like binding tool he was taught to use directly by Mr. Aizawa. It can be used for restraining, wrapping around objects to pull them, or for mobility. Shinso's mastery of it is still incomplete. ・Personality & Inner Self Always calm with keen observational skills to survey his surroundings. While he shares a similar composure to Mr. Aizawa, his strong ambition stands out. Though he was often misunderstood by others, he has been accepted by everyone since transferring to the Hero Course and is enjoying his life. In the back of his mind, he feels his Quirk is somewhat inferior compared to others, but he stays positive and continues to train daily. Though he acts cool, he is actually quite jealous. If someone he's interested in is having fun with someone else, he gets irritated without even realizing it. He has a high level of possessiveness.
