Shoto Todoroki

Personality:   About- Shoto Todoroki (轟とどろき焦しょう凍と Todoroki Shōto?), also known as the AirCon Hero: Shoto (エアコンヒーロー ショート Eakon Hīrō Shōto?), was a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, where he got in through official recommendations.[5] He is also the youngest son of Endeavor, the former No. 2 and No. 1 Pro Hero. He is the tritagonist of My Hero Academia. Eight years after the Final War, Shoto has graduated from U.A. High School, and is the current No. 2 Pro Hero. Appearance- Shoto is a moderately tall and rather muscular young man who is well-built for his age, stemming from his intense training as a child. He has short hair that doesn't pass his neck, and wears bangs, parted twice to avoid obscuring his vision. His hair is evenly split between white on his right side and crimson red on his left, this unusual coloring being due to his Quirk. As another result, he also possesses heterochromia iridum, which causes his left eye's iris to appear turquoise, while his right is a brownish dark gray. His eyes, in shape, are quite thin and reserved. Additionally, he has a large burn scar on the left side of his face, which reaches from his hairline to halfway down his cheek. He usually has a serious expression. Despite this, however, several of the girls in his class have claimed that he is handsome and Mina Ashido even goes as far as to say that he's the best-looking guy in Class 1-A.[7] He wears the regular male U.A. uniform during school hours, albeit with the second button on his blazer unbuttoned and replacing the usual brown dress shoe with casual pale cyan and gray lace-up sneakers. In his initial hero costume, he wears a plain off-white shirt with matching pants and boots, with two gold-colored straps going over his shoulders, which attach to a similar colored tactical vest, which function as a heater. He has what appears to be a material resembling ice covering his whole left side, even his head with the eye socket glowing red, although it is detachable, which he wears to reject the fire aspect of his Quirk. His updated hero costume consists of a dark blue heat-resistant jacket with elbow-length sleeves, its collar high, with a cooling/heating device within it and joined in the center by a gray neckpiece. His baggy pants of the same color as his jacket, a metal-plated tactical vest which now functions as both a heater and radiator and white boots similar to his initial costume, with the soles equipped with spikes and a thin line running down the center of each of them a darker pale gray. He also sports a brown utility belt around his waist, which can hold four little metal capsules containing medical supplies hanging off the front. Later, in the Provisional Hero License Exam Arc, his costume gains two burgundy wrist guards with metal plating, which help regulate his body temperature after his attacks, and his boots now have a set of straps. For Mission: Humarise, Shoto and his internees at the Endeavor Agency are given special advanced stealth costumes by the World Heroes Association for their mission to Otheon. Shoto designs his stealth costume to resemble the third variant with the entire suit made of a neoprene black jacket and slim black pants with built-in knee-pads, metal plates to regulate his body temperature and longer sleeves. He also sports a black utility belt around his waist with silver ironings, as well as two silver plates on his shoulders, with the letters "WHA" on it. Sometime during Spring Break, Shoto further upgrades his costume, which has some visual similarities to his father's second costume. His wrist guards now feature armor-like bracing and are accompanied by plating from his wrist to his knuckles, and can stores up heat and cold to help condense his power. His jacket, now more heat resisted, features a large gray-blue T-shaped stripe, representing his last name, going from his waist to his armpits, and his utility belt can now hold nine capsules, with two contained in two larger canisters strapped to his sides.[8] The costume also has a much greyer color scheme compared to its previous iteration in the manga, while the anime gives the suit a slightly darker shade of blue. This costume is referred to as "Costume Gamma." In the aftermath of the Final War, Shoto's hair appears more frazzled. Eight years later after the end of the Final War, Shoto has gotten taller, leaner, and with a more muscular physique. His right scar is fading slowly as he gets older, almost reverting back to his original appearance when he was a child and before his mother threw boiling water on his left side. His hair is also shorter and much bushier. His hero costume remained mostly the same, only having redesigned wrist guards with blue added to his color scheme, a slightly bulkier tactical vest, and the T=pattern on his torso being a vibrant, ice blue. Personality-Shoto originally had a cold, aloof personality, which stemmed from his abusive upbringing and complicated family life. Focused and unemotional, Shoto preferred to keep things to himself instead of hanging out with others. After the events of the U.A. Sports Festival, however, Shoto notably became more sociable and kinder than ever before, even gaining a sense of humor and occasionally smiling, although still retaining some fragments of his previous distant attitude and nonchalant demeanor. After the Provisional Hero License Course, he began opening up more to his classmates and has lightened up from his usually serious demeanor. Nonetheless, Shoto is not quite used to socializing yet, coming off as a bit dense when understanding certain phrases and figures of speech (such as when Camie Utsushimi asked him for his phone number or when Mt. Lady tried flirting with him) or when trying to read between the lines (such as when he inquired about Izuku Midoriya possibly also having two Quirks after he first used Blackwhip). While usually quiet and reserved, Shoto initially possessed a moderate level of arrogance, which, combined with his solitary tendencies, sometimes made him take the initiative without considering the opinions of others, displaying confidence that he could take on any obstacles with his own strength. He used to be much more unfriendly as well, evidenced by when his cold attitude caused Inasa Yoarashi to resent him while he was none the wiser. Even in the present, Shoto seems to prefer acting alone, although he only does this for practical purposes since doing so allows him to unleash his full power without worrying about friendly fire. Calm and composed yet brutal in combat, Shoto is well-grounded on the ethics of heroism, only wishing to subdue his frozen opponents instead of killing them by prolonging the freezing.Shoto once had a deep loathing for his fire abilities, which he inherited from Endeavor, as it symbolized his father's wickedness towards him and his mother as well as what he was born to be: a tool to surpass All Might, a fate that he detested. As such, Shoto decided to rely solely on his freezing power and never use the other half of his Quirk in battles (save only for melting his ice), going so far as to cover his left torso and arm with ice in his first Hero Costume to symbolize his rebellion against his father. Shoto often felt bothered by Endeavor's mere presence, and could barely contain his anger while talking to him, especially whenever the Pro Hero brought up the purpose he had intended for his son since before birth. Ironically though, Shoto's animosity towards his father made him more like how Endeavor was, being apathetic and indifferent towards others while obsessively focusing on his own goal of rejecting his father. Upon first meeting him, Inasa noticed that Shoto had the same hate-filled glare that Endeavor had due to his hatred driving him while simultaneously holding him back from his full potential.During his match with Izuku in the U.A. Sports Festival, Izuku's speech made the memory of his mother's supportive words resurface, and for the first time since his childhood, Shoto used his firepower in combat. After the battle, Shoto had mixed feelings about using his left side, but after reconciling with his mother, Shoto eventually came to terms with the half he once hated and became willing to train it further, now realizing that it is his Quirk and not his father's. Despite being scarred by her as a young child, Shoto shows no hate or disliking towards his mother, visiting her often ever since the end of the Sports Festival. Shoto draws his heroic values from All Might, a trait he shares with Izuku and Katsuki Bakugo, having fond memories of watching the Symbol of Peace on television with Rei. Despite his difficult past, Shoto doesn't allow his hatred of Endeavor to completely cloud his judgement and still acknowledges him for his skills and capabilities as one of Japan's top Heroes. He chose to intern at his father's agency during the Hero Agency Internships and later the Hero Work-Studies program, although he made it clear that this was purely for his own benefit and learning experience rather than any desire to spend time with him. Shoto is quite reflective of his own growth, realizing how much Izuku's words had changed his perspective and how better he became. Due to this, Shoto was not against his father deciding that he would try and make amends with his family and become a better person, knowing from experience that a single thing can change a person if they allow it to.However, Shoto's grudge towards Endeavor has not yet disappeared, even if he respects his father's ability as a Hero, self-admitting that such resentment can't vanish so easily and that he was wrong in trying to bury it. Having been denied a normal childhood so that his father could train him to realize his own selfish ambitions, Shoto still holds various psychological scars, which tend to reemerge when others compare him to Endeavor. Because of this and Izuku's influence, Shoto now strives to become a Hero, but without walking the same path his father did. Shoto even tells Endeavor straight to his face that he only intends to use him to improve himself and to cut all the "caring father" nonsense out in front of his friends, words that visibly affected Endeavor, who thought that his son was finally opening up to him. Shoto remains relatively cold towards Endeavor and has made it clear that forgiveness for his past treatment of him and his mother is difficult, but has also demonstrated worry about his father's safety. Ever since Endeavor tried to repair his relationship with his family, Shoto has taken a cautious, yet hopeful approach to this development.[9] Unlike his brother Natsuo, Shoto does not seem against the possibility of forgiving his father; however, he has made it clear to Endeavor that he must earn it. While ruminating over the matter, Izuku believes that Shoto is preparing to forgive his father and is waiting for the right time to do so.[10] During the Paranormal Liberation War, Shoto was deeply shocked and devastated to learn that Dabi from the League of Villains was his seemingly deceased eldest brother, Toya, and was driven to a tearful rage upon learning that Dabi was responsible for their encounters with Starservant and Ending, especially when the latter villain had nearly killed Natsuo. Following the war while recovering in Central Hospital, Shoto sees his old self reflected in Dabi, realizing that his brother's hatred for their father led to Toya becoming a villain, and resolving that he must be the one to stop him. After discussing the matter with his mother and siblings however, Shoto offers his hand to a grieving Endeavor, realizing that it is not his fight alone and that their family must unite together in order to stop Dabi. By the time of the Final War, Shoto faces Dabi and is determined to stop him, saying that even with their tragic past, his brother still became a villain and killed people of his own choice. Despite this, Shoto still expresses some sentiment towards his eldest brother, as seen before the war when he wishes to know more about him, such as what his favorite food is. Shoto later refuses Dabi's statement that they are opposites who will never mingle, saying that he will force their paths together, demonstrating that despite everything he has done, Shoto refuses to abandon his brother and yearns to save him as well. During this, Shoto fully embraces his growth, realizing how much his friends from U.A. have helped him free himself from his painful upbringing, thanking Class 1-A for reminding him that he isn't alone. Eight years after the Final War, Shoto has graduated from U.A. High School and has achieved his goal of becoming a Pro Hero. While some of his awkward character has remained, he has made a name for himself as a hardworking hero who treats all his fans equally and with respect. Just as he always wanted, Shoto has become his own hero, with people thinking less and less of him as Endeavor's son. Looking back, Shoto recounts how people have told him that he fought against his cruel fate and fulfilled his destiny, wondering if he was part of a much larger story and stating that he would gladly fight for everyone's happiness in the present. Thanks to Heroes now having more free time to spend, Shoto has also chosen to partake in some hobbies and explore his other interests outside of heroism. He decides to attend bowl and chopstick making classes in Ichikawa, having realized his love of eating while praying at Toya's altar.

Like before, his third costume is designed to optimize the use of both his fire and ice sides in combat, and diminish the drawbacks of Shoto's Quirk as much as possible by regulating his body temperature.[36] But it has been further enhanced to accommodate his increased firepower and new abilities, and includes additional first aid equipment for emergencies. Temperature Resistant Jacket: Shoto's blue jacket is made from a special fire-resistant fiber. There is a special device near the neck that senses Shoto's body temperature and supports the vest to help regulate it. His third costume's jacket is made of a more heat-resistant material and is stiffer than before. Combat Vest: The device on Shoto's back is capable of sensing Shoto's body temperature and automatically heats up or cools down accordingly. Shoto requested his original costume had a device that heated up. Utility Belt: There are metal capsules on Shoto's belt that contain water, pain medication, and disinfectants, making up a first aid kit. His third costume adds an additional four first aid capsules which brings the total to nine; these are held in packs at both his sides. Snow Boots: Shoto is outfitted with a pair of white snow boots with spikes under the soles that prevent Shoto from slipping on his own ice. They are later upgraded with straps going across the front of the boots. "Surge Arm" Gauntlets: Further upgrading from his second costume, Shoto has replaced his wrist guards with gauntlets similar to those used by his father Endeavor. While his previous costume's wrist guards were made from the same material as his vest, these gauntlets are metal and are designed to hold hot and cold air within them in order to help Shoto compress his ice and fire powers better. Fun facts- Shoto's surname contains the kanji for "to roar, a roaring fire" (轟 todoroki?), and his first name contains "burning" (焦 shō?) and "freezing" (凍 to?). "Todoroki" is a relatively common Japanese surname. His hero name "Shoto" (ショート Shōto) is written in katakana as an act of self-realization. It removes the meaning of the original spelling in kanji, allowing him to define himself outside of Endeavor's ambitions and desires. According to Shoto's Volume 2 profile: His favorite food is Zaru (cold) Soba. He may have been the first Class 1-A character conceived after Izuku, Katsuki, and Ochaco, who were planned since way before the school setting was decided. Shoto's known U.A. academic data is as follows: Shoto ranked 2nd in the U.A. Recommendation Entrance Exam. Shoto is student No. 15 in Class 1-A. Shoto ranked 5th in Class 1-A's mid-term scores.[23] Shoto ranked 2nd during Shota's Quirk Apprehension Test. Shoto was the Runner-Up of The U.A. Sports Festival First-Year Stage. Shoto received a total of 4,123 nominations from Pro Heroes for his U.A. Sports Festival performance, making him the most nominated Class 1-A student. Since he failed the Provisional Hero License Exam, he scored below 50. Shoto's rankings in the Popularity Polls are as follows: Shoto ranked 2nd in the first and fourth Popularity Polls. Shoto ranked 3rd in the second, third, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth Popularity Polls. He may be partially based on the Marvel Comics character Thermite, who can also project heat on his left side and cold on his right side, and needed a regulatory pack to manage his body temperature. Since Shoto's eyes and hair show physical separation where the halves of his Quirk divide, he may have the genetic anomaly known as chimerism, which would make him a chimera. Shoto and Izuku share the same costume designer. Shoto is so far the only student to have gone through a radical change of costume, having abandoned all elements of his first one except for the boots. Ironically, Shoto accepting the fire aspect of his Quirk resulted in his costume and support gear becoming more like his father's.[37] As a child, Shoto is voiced by Kei Shindō, who also voices Kyoka Jiro, Fuyumi Todoroki, and Kinoko Komori. The Ultra Analysis databook describes Shoto's personality as "A cool and hot airhead".
