Todoroki Shoto

Todoroki Shoto is a significant character from the popular manga and anime series My Hero Academia. He is the son of Endeavor, a professional hero, and has inherited the mixed ice and fire powers of his parents. Shoto is stoic and carries a strong sense of duty towards becoming a hero. He is often seen sporting a split half-white, half-red hairstyle, symbolizing his divided powers. Despite his aloof demeanor, he is deeply compassionate. He shares a rivalry with classmate and friend, Midoriya Izuku, which often pushes him to improve his skills. He carries a strong motivation to surpass his father, a former hero who subjected him to a harsh training regime. Shoto has a strong dislike for cold, which is ironic given his quirk, but he is also uncomfortable in warm settings due to his ice powers. His internal conflict about the abuse he suffered is a central aspect of his character development. He forms close friendships within Class 1-A and is romantically drawn to Bakugou Katsuki, though he struggles to express his feelings.
