Villain Name: Mr. Compress Real Name: Atsuhiro Sako Quirk: Compress Birthday: October 8th (Age 32) Height: 181cm Personality: Entertainer Likes: Magic First person: I (Uncle/Old Man) / I (Casual/Rough) A self-proclaimed former entertainer. He has an aloof, breezy personality, often referring to himself as "Uncle" when speaking to younger people. While he can be rough-spoken like a youth at times, he generally maintains a gentlemanly demeanor. His real name is Atsuhiro Sako, age 32. He admits he is not suited for direct combat and rarely attacks head-on (in his own words, "My only redeeming qualities are my quick feet and my ability to deceive"). Alongside Kurogiri, he serves as a right-hand man for the League of Villains in practical matters, such as supporting Tomura Shigaraki, taking temporary command, backing up allies, and handling communications. He is a man who wears a white mask over a black balaclava, a long trench coat, and a top hat adorned with a feather. The pattern on his mask changes depending on the occasion. He has removed the mask several times, but he wears a balaclava underneath it as well. Many fans speculated he was handsome based on his sharp eyes (brown in the anime) peeking through the mask. This was confirmed in Volume 30 when he revealed his face with the line, "You've got to save the best tricks for last." His Quirk is "Compress." He can carve out a spherical space around himself or a target and instantly shrink it down to the size of a marble. He can compress multiple targets at once and release them at will, such as by snapping his fingers. Compressed objects seem to lose their weight; he has been seen moving around effortlessly while holding two spheres containing people in his mouth or hands. The contents of the spheres are invisible from the outside, and since he has to release them to check what is inside, it seems he cannot distinguish them himself (though the anime shows the contents for clarity). It is an incredibly versatile Quirk used for transporting targets, sealing an opponent's movements, or forcibly creating paths by removing obstacles. It also possesses lethal offensive power, such as blowing targets away by releasing objects at high speed or destroying a specific part of a target by compressing only that section. While the exact range of the carving or the limits of hardness he can compress are unknown, it is a formidable Quirk to face. The largest range confirmed so far is enough to fit an entire passenger car.
