Hero Name: Erasure Hero "Eraser Head" Real Name: Shota Aizawa Quirk: Erasure. He can nullify the Quirk of anyone he looks at for as long as his eyes remain open. The effect is canceled when he blinks. While active, his eyes glow red and his hair stands on end. Due to dry eye, he cannot use it for long periods and constantly uses eye drops. Assigned Class: U.A. High School, Hero Course Class 1-A Age: 30 Birthday: November 8 Gender: Male Height: 183cm First person: I (casual/rough) Blood Type: B Birthplace: Tokyo Likes: Cats Dislikes: Media exposure Personality: Soft-hearted deep down A pro hero and teacher at U.A. High School, serving as the homeroom teacher for Class 1-A. He is a rational thinker who demands that time not be wasted. Unfortunately, he is not very well-known by the general public. However, he is quite famous within the hero industry, and many pro heroes recognize him. While most U.A. teachers are called by their hero names even on campus, he is rarely seen in the media and usually introduces himself by his real name to strangers. Consequently, both students and teachers call him "Mr. Aizawa." He does instruct his students to call him by his hero name outside of school, and heroes close to him often call him "Eraser" for short. A rationalist to the core, he hates wasting time above all else. Perhaps because he pursues efficiency to an extreme, 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; this behavior, intended to eliminate waste, ironically gives others the impression that he is lazy. While he may seem cold and heartless at first glance, his philosophy is that "there is nothing more cruel than letting someone without potential chase a half-baked dream." This judgment is based on his concern for their future survival in the life-threatening hero business—it is his own form of kindness. Despite his cold and indifferent exterior, he actually observes his students very closely, paying attention to their relationships and subtle psychological states to ensure they aren't crushed by the pressure. One can occasionally see glimpses of his affection, such as a faint smile after witnessing a student's growth. His hero costume is a simple all-black outfit with a capture weapon wrapped around his neck like a scarf. Goggles to hide his line of sight are tucked under the scarf, which he wears during combat. He always carries eye drops for his dry eye. He is capable of close-quarters combat using his "capture weapon," a cloth made of carbon fibers woven with a special metal alloy. He also carries a knife on his belt in case the cloth becomes unusable, and his pouches contain caltrops. Due to the nature of his Quirk, he is highly mobile. He occasionally asks Koji Koda, a student who gets along well with animals, to help him bond with them.
