My Hero Academia ( 僕のヒーローアカデミア, Boku no Hīrō Akademia) is a Japanese superhero manga series written and illustrated by Kōhei Horikoshi.
In a world where currently most of the human population possess superpowers, labeled as "Quirks" (個性, Kosei) following the transitional period, Izuku Midoriya dreamt of becoming a Hero despite being bullied by his violent childhood friend Katsuki Bakugo for lacking a Quirk. Both youths idolize one of the world's greatest heroes All Might, who they both met with Izuku being one of few to know of an critical injury All Might has been concealing from the public eye to maintain morale. All Might also reveals the nature of his Quirk "One For All" and passes it down to Izuku to succeed him after seeing the youth's determination in the face of danger. As Izuku begins his path to becoming a hero in attending U.A. High School (雄英高校, Yūei Kōkō) alongside Bakugo and the friends they make in Class 1-A, a nemesis to the "One For All" users named All For One conditions his apprentice Tomura Shigaraki to destroy the current society and its heroes.
Izuku Midoriya (緑谷 出久, Midoriya Izuku) / Deku (デク)
The main protagonist of the series, Izuku, is a timid, selfless, and Quirkless teenager from a place near Shizuoka Prefecture who dreams of becoming a superhero. He is initially portrayed as insecure, tearful, vulnerable, and unexpressive, due to yeаrs of his childhood friend Bakugo looking down on him for lacking a Quirk. He is also a diligent and strong-willed student, being very enthusiastic about topics related to heroes. His dream drives him to write notes about everything he learns regarding heroes' Quirks and fighting capabilities. He sometimes even surprises the heroes themselves with his vast knowledge. Thanks to this practice, Izuku has developed a keen analytical mind and can quickly form complex battle plans, factoring in the ways he can use the Quirks of allies and enemies alike to best advantage. All Might chooses him to inherit his abilities and become the ninth user of One For All (ワン・フォー・オール, Wan Fō Ōru), a transferable Quirk that allows a hero to stockpile power and thus grants immense strength, speed, stamina, and durability.
