Izuku Midoriya

"Once someone told me: something you earn by luck and something you earn by being recognized are two completely different things."

- Izuku Midoriya to Killumy Todoroki, Sakuya Iida, Toshinori and Yuki.

Izuku Midoriya ( Midoriya Izuku) is the current No. 1 Pro Hero. He is Ochaco Midoriya's husband and Toshinori and Yuki's father.

Appearance
Izuku is a tall man; his round face framed by a small messy fringe of fluffy dark green hair that stands at odd angles around his head, casting strikingly dark shadows over himself. His eyes are large and somewhat circular, and his irises are the same green color as his hair, which is usually straight and very wide, giving him an innocent appearance. It has a set of four symmetrical freckles in diamond formations, one on each cheek, but despite these prominent features, it is often described by others as simple.

Although he was initially very thin, Izuku gained a variety of toned muscles after his ten months of extensive training with All Might. They are well developed and defined.

After his fight with Shoto Todoroki at his first Sport Festival, the fingers of his right hand were slightly deformed and the hand shows scars. His right arm was more damaged after his fight with Muscular, leaving several other scars all over.

Personality
Izuku is described as a shy yet polite man. Even when he is the top hero and pratically has no time in his schedule, he is still a huge All Might fan and likes to pass his small free time watching his videos, that is why he needs his wife to put him on the line and do his job.
