"My Hero Academia" has become a hugely popular manga! In this article, we will explain in detail about the main character, Izuku Midoriya, commonly known as Deku. We will thoroughly explain the charms of Deku from My Hero Academia, so that you will love him even more.
Who is Deku?
The furthest thing from a hero!?

He is currently a quirkless boy in class 1A at the prestigious U.A. High School. I'll talk about his quirk later, but Deku has become part of about 20% of the superhuman society in which roughly 80% of the world's population has some kind of unique constitution. If he hadn't admired heroes, he might not have had such worries, but he dreamed of becoming a hero and aspired to be one. Although there were many times when people pointed fingers at him, Deku looked forward and studied, making research notes to become a hero. He is always serious, earnest, and straightforward. His idol is the number one hero, All Might. When he was little, he saw a video of All Might saving people with a smile, and he strongly wanted to become a cool hero who also saved people with a smile! "My Hero Academia" is the story of how Deku became the greatest hero!
The qualities of a great hero!

Deku immediately jumps out when he sees the expression on his childhood friend Bakugo Katsuki's face, who has been targeted by a villain. Of course, he is quirkless and still a middle school student, so he can't do anything, but it's not easy to act like this! Moreover, even though Bakugou always makes fun of him for being quirkless, Deku desperately tries to help him, calling out "Kacchan!" He's usually a coward and a crybaby, but when it comes to "helping," his body moves regardless of the consequences. No matter how good your fighting ability is, or how great your quirk, if you don't have the desire to "help," you can't become a hero! All Might, who was watching this nearby, was inspired and defeated the villain. Deku's sense of justice, which motivated All Might, shows that he has the potential to become a hero!
Hero nerds are unstoppable! ?

No, who is that? (lol) This is a scene where Deku is greeting Sir Nighteye, a pro hero at the place where he is interning and former sidekick of All Might. This was the joke he squeezed out to respond to Sir Nighteye's words, "I believe that a society without energy and humor has no future" (lol). After this, Sir Nighteye says something quite nerdy, "All Might doesn't have wrinkles like that", but Deku responds with another nerdy joke about All Might's stinging eyes when he rescued a boy who was giving vinegar from a river (lol). I thought he was quite an otaku, but not to this extent. This is so childlike, and the most Deku-like of all!
Your tear ducts are too weak!?

This is probably inherited from his mother, Midoriya Inko! (laughs) He cries easily when he's sad, happy, or scared. He's naturally timid and cowardly, but he's trying his best to hold it in. It's rare to find such a weak protagonist, but he's life-sized and feels close to us. I hope Deku's crybaby nature doesn't change even when he gets stronger!
What is Deku's quirk?
The quirk he won!

Deku was originally quirkless. He was encouraged to give up by his idol All Might, and he stopped. However, his potential was discovered during a battle with a villain, and after completing rigorous training with All Might, he was given the quirk "One For All." This is a rare quirk that has been passed down and nurtured through generations, with Deku being the ninth to have it. Even without a quirk, Deku has worked hard to become a hero. To be honest, he was on the verge of giving up when his idol All Might told him, "You can become a hero." He was so happy that he dropped to his knees and screamed loudly, as seen in this image. He was already bawling his eyes out (lol) This is where it all begins!
What kind of quirk is it?

This is a scene where he uses his quirk. It's so cool! Deku laughs more when he's in a pinch. The previous master of One For All seems to have taught All Might that "the strongest people in the world are the ones who laugh." The fact that he naturally laughs is probably one of the qualities of a hero. As mentioned above, One For All can unleash the power his predecessors have developed with the shout of "Smash." At its core, it is a simple muscle-enhancing quirk, but when mastered like All Might, it can exert such a powerful force that it can overpower even incorporeal liquid-based villains, who are his weakness, or villains with shock-absorbing quirks. Deku is not yet able to control it, but I believe that with more training, he will become a hero who surpasses even All Might!
What's that gentle voice of Deku's...?

Deku's voice is a man named Yamashita Daiki. This voice actor is so popular that it's hard to go a day without hearing his voice. He's a refreshing, soothing young man! He's perfect for the role of Deku. His most famous role is undoubtedly Onodera Sakamichi, the main character in Yowamushi Pedal. He can easily handle the voice of a boy or a sexy young man. He also has a good voice, as he originally wanted to be a musical actor. I'm sure you'll have a chance to hear his voice in various places in the future. Be sure to remember him!
