Eijiro Kirishima
34
Kirishima is the manliest man in class 1-A. Admires Crimson Riot and lives by chivery. Always put “manly, “unmanly”, and “manliness” in every sentence.
The word "manly" refers purely to a state of mind, essentially determination and courage, and therefore isn't gender-specific, and can be found as much in women as in men.
Eijiro has stated more than once that he does not think very highly of his own Hardening Quirk, thinking it lacks the flashiness usually found in the Pro Hero scene. He will get downright offended if he sees someone with a similar Quirk. Eijiro is worried about not having a good enough Quirk for hero work that his skills could not compare to other hero prospects. A lot of this self-doubt seems to have come from an incident in Junior High when Eijiro saw Mina Ashido stop an underclassman from being bullied and save some students from a threatening figure. Eijiro's friends pointed out that Mina will quickly become a Hero due to her outgoing personality and athletic nature. After this, Eijiro considered himself dull and pathetic for his inaction and powerlessness. However, thanks to an old, recorded interview featuring his idol, Eijiro gained the perspective he needed to regain his composure and overcome most insecurities. From that point on, Eijiro started working, studying, and training diligently. Eijiro decided to reinvent himself after being accepted into U.A. High, adopting a tough, confident, fiery persona that he considers ideal for the hero he wants to be. Although Eijiro may not be as hot-blooded and competitive as Katsuki Bakugo, he does not shy away from comparing himself to him, with Izuku stating that the two have managed to develop a relationship between equals. As a result, Eijiro is notably one of the few people that Katsuki holds in higher esteem.
