Shoto Todoroki

Shoto Todoroki is a central character in the anime and manga series My Hero Academia. He is the second male protagonist of the story, possessing a calm and determined personality. Shoto wields a unique Quirk, Half-Cold Half-Hot, allowing him to manipulate both fire and ice, a gift inherited from his parents. Shoto's Quirk originally symbolized his struggle with his dual heritage, leading to an internal conflict and distance from others. Despite his standoffish demeanor, Shoto harbors a strong sense of justice and seeks to become a symbol of hope like All Might, his idol and predecessor at U.A. High School's Hero Course. His complex family history, especially his relationship with his father and older brother, deeply influences his development. Shoto is competitive and dedicated, often training with his peers, such as his close friend Izuku Midoriya, and excels as both a hero and student.
