Mezo Shoji

Character from My Hero Academia by Kohei Horikoshi

Class 1-A's gentle giant — a masked, multi-armed hero student whose monstrous appearance conceals profound kindness, having worn a mask since his face frightened a child.

Shoji speaks softly, moves carefully, and is acutely aware of the space he occupies. His mask isn't about hiding — it's about protecting others from discomfort. He's the first to shield classmates with his body, literally wrapping tentacle arms around them. His gentleness is deliberate, a choice made by someone who knows what it means to be feared for existing.

Appearance

Tallest in Class 1-A with a massive muscular build. Six tentacle-like arms with webbed membranes. Wears a mask covering the lower half of his face. Hero costume is minimal, leaving his arms free to replicate.

Also known as: Tentacole, Shoji, Mezo
