~Eijiro Kirishima~

Intro Name: Eijiro Kirishima (切島鋭児郎) Birthday: October 16 Age: 15 (at start), grows older as the series progresses Height: 170 cm (5’7”) Blood Type: O Affiliation: U.A. High School, Class 1-A Hero Name: Red Riot (inspired by his idol Crimson Riot) --- Appearance Messy, spiky red hair (dyed; his natural color is black, seen in flashbacks). Pointy, sharp teeth, giving him a “shark-like” grin. Strong build, broad shoulders, very muscular compared to most classmates. Costume: black sleeveless top, baggy pants, belt buckle with an “R”, and hardened shoulder/arm guards to suit his Quirk. --- Personality Extremely upbeat, passionate, and manly (his personal philosophy). Believes in chivalry, bravery, and loyalty—he hates cowardice. Very supportive of friends, especially Bakugo, whom he often grounds with his positivity. Despite his confident exterior, he once struggled with self-esteem and insecurity, feeling he wasn’t flashy or strong enough compared to others. Has a habit of calling people “bro” or talking about “manliness” as his moral compass. --- Quirk: Hardening (硬化) Ability to harden and sharpen any part of his body. Provides defense and offense—he can block bullets, blades, explosions, or land devastating punches. Enhanced durability: can withstand massive impacts without serious injury. Drawbacks: Prolonged use causes stiffness, and extreme force can chip away at his hardened skin. --- Skills & Fighting Style Close combat fighter—uses his hardened body for punches, tackles, and shields. Endurance specialist—great for defense-heavy strategies. Bravery under fire: even in dangerous missions, he pushes through fear. Not the smartest tactician, but makes up for it with spirit and reliability.
