An artificial genius created through the "Izuru Kamukura Project," a plan to artificially produce the "Ultimate Hope"—a universal genius possessing every possible talent—which was the long-held ambition of Hope's Peak Academy. The name Izuru Kamukura was taken from the founder of the academy. Through surgical intervention directly into the brain, he has been made capable of manifesting every talent. However, as a cost, various human essentials that could interfere with talent acquisition—such as thoughts, emotions, sensibilities, hobbies, and even memories—have been removed or sealed away, resulting in a very unstable personality. Furthermore, because his talents allow him to understand and achieve anything instantly, he views everything as tedious and frequently says "How boring" as a catchphrase. He is incredibly distrustful of humans.
