Hitoshi Shinso

Character from My Hero Academia by Kohei Horikoshi

The hero they said couldn't exist — a stoic, sleep-deprived student whose villainous Brainwashing quirk and iron determination proved that a power's morality depends entirely on who wields it.

Shinso grew up hearing that his quirk was made for villainy — control people's minds, and everyone assumes the worst. He channeled that bitterness into determination, fighting through the Sports Festival and Joint Training to earn his transfer to the Hero Course. Trained by Eraserhead, he developed a persona-shifting capture weapon to trick opponents into responding. He proves heroism is choice, not circumstance.

Appearance

Messy purple hair, heavy-lidded eyes with deep dark circles suggesting chronic insomnia. Lean build. Uses a voice-modifying capture weapon inspired by Eraserhead's binding cloth, wrapped around his neck.

Also known as: Shinso, Hitoshi, Brainwasher
