My Hero Academia: Fun Facts

1. Deku’s Origins
Deku—Izuku Midoriya—was inspired by Jack Midoriya, a character from a one-shot manga series called My Hero. Like Deku, Jack Midoriya dreams of being a superhero, though he’s a salaryman (or office worker) rather than a student.

2. Deku’s Name
The nickname “Deku” was given to him by Bakugo; its actual meaning in Japanese is “wooden puppet” or “dummy,” which makes it basically Bakugo’s way of implying that Deku was useless and easy to bully. Luckily, Deku finds a way to take the name and make it his own in the show!

3. Mina’s Alien Connections
Parts of Mina Ashido (Pinky) were directly inspired by Ridley Scott’s Alien movie series—specifically by the aliens. Like the xenomorphs in Alien, Mina has acidic blood. She was also named Ridley in early versions of the script!

4. Nice Bakugo?
MHA series creator Kohei Horikoshi originally planned for Bakugo to be a kind, genteel character. Horikoshi eventually decided that a good-natured Bakugo might be too boring for readers since Deku, the main character, is already so kind-hearted himself. Thus, cocky and abrasive (yet lovable) Bakugo was born!

5. Name Meanings
Many characters in class 1A have meaningful names. Kohei Horikoshi ensured that each character’s name is somehow a reference to either their Quirk or personality. For example:

  • Bakugo’s name means bomb (baku) and power (go).
  • Tenya Ida’s name comes from “Idaten,” a term originating from the name of the Buddhist hero Skanda, used to describe someone fast on their feet.
  • Ochaco’s last name, Ururaka, means “fine day” in Japanese (a reference to her optimism and bubbliness).
  • Denki Kaminari’s name means electric (denki) and thunder (kaminari).

6. Tsuyu and Toro
When they were first conceptualized, Tsuyu Asui and Toro Hagakure were actually boys—not girls. However, creator Kohei Horikoshi realized the majority of Class 1A were boys (fourteen boys and six girls, though it would’ve been sixteen boys and four girls if Tsuyu and Toro hadn’t been changed).

7. Ochaco’s Quirk
The Ochaco everyone knows and loves has a Zero Gravity quirk—but, originally, that wasn’t the case. Ochaco’s original quirk was Gigantification (the ability to grow to gigantic proportions), which is now the quirk of another MHA character, Mt. Lady. Kohei Horikoshi felt Gigantification was too difficult of a quirk for a hero-in-training; thus, Ochaco was given a different quirk and Gigantification was given to Mt. Lady.

8. Superman would beat All Might
In MHA, All Might is one of the world’s most powerful heroes—and his character is a reference to Superman, DC’s comic book hero. Kohei Horikoshi was asked which one would win in a fight, and he confidently replied that Superman would be the winner (largely because of his laser eyes).

9. Dragon Ball Connections
Kohei Horikoshi is a huge Dragon Ball Z fan—to the point that Goku, the protagonist of Dragon Ball, partially inspires All Might’s appearance. In fact, he also inspires aspects of All Might’s personality; both are bold and iconic characters who inspire others to be heroic.

10. Todoroki’s Character Parallels
Some MHA fans have pointed out that Shoto Todoroki heavily resembles Prince Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender. They both have fire manipulation powers, abusive fathers, and, most obviously, burn scars around their left eye.
