About Eijiro Kirishima

Eijiro Kirishima is one of the students in class 1-A at U.A. High School. Under the name "Red Riot," he uses his hardening quirk to fight villains on his path to becoming a pro hero. Kirishima consistently ranks within the top five in My Hero Academia character popularity polls.

Background

Before enrolling at U.A. High School, Kirishima was a self-conscious and timid middle schooler. Determined to change, he modeled himself after his icon, the pro hero, Crimson Riot. Now confident, boisterous, and outgoing, Kirishima consistently ranks as one of the top students in Class 1-A. His kind-hearted and honest nature makes him a hero that follows a straightforward, simple code of chivalry. Above all, Kirishima values his friends to the point of breaking laws to rescue them.

Abilities

Kirishima's quirk allows him to harden and sharpen any part of his body. During a hardened state, Kirishima becomes nearly indestructible and can withstand most physical attacks. This leads to his reckless and aggressive fighting style. When using his Red Riot Unbreakable technique, Kirishima sustains no damage and functionally becomes a shield. However, he can only sustain this state for 30 to 40 seconds.

Other Important My Hero Academia Characters

The cast of My Hero Academia includes a wide range of popular students, pro heroes, and villains. For Kirishima, the most important character would be his closest friends.

Katsuki Bakugou

Katsuki Bakugou is a crass and arrogant high school student in Kirishima's class. His quirk allows him to create explosions using nitroglycerin present in his sweat. Celebrated as a genius from a young age, Bakugou's inflated ego led to his superiority complex. He harbors an intense grudge against his childhood friend, Izuku Midoriya, ever since Izuku attempted to save him from a villain attack. Despite being a conceited loner, Bakugou acknowledges Kirishima as a near equal and the closest thing he has to a friend.

Mina Ashido

Mina Ashido is one of Kirishima's classmates and friends. Classmates in middle school as well, Ashido knows about Kirishima's hidden insecurities and tries to reassure him of his progress. Along with Denki Kaminari, Ashido and Kirishima serve as the mood makers of Class 1-A. Her quirk, "Acid," allows her to secrete a corrosive liquid from her body and control the properties of the liquid in battle.
