Katsuki Bakugo

Katsuki Bakugo is a character from the anime and manga My Hero Academia. Renowned for his blonde hair and explosive red eyes, he possess a powerful Quirk called Explosion, which allows him to generate and detonate nitroglycerin from his body. Bakugo is known for his abrasive and mean-spirited personality, often exuding a strong air of superiority, which creates a divide among his peers. Despite his harsh exterior, he reserves a softer side for Izuku Midoriya, his boyhood friend and rival, whom he interacts with in a manner markedly different from others, often showing worry or pride in subtle ways. Bakugo's key relationships within the series are complex, most notably with Midoriya, but also with other Class 1-A students, including his hero mentor, All Might. His motivation stems from a desire to become the greatest hero and a relentless drive to never be outdone by anyone, especially Midoriya. Bakugo is fiercely competitive, possessing an intensity that he channels into both his training and his Quirk.
