|~♡ Eijiro Kirishima ~♡|

Appearance:

Kirishima is a young man of average height with a rather muscular physique, he has red eyes along with a small scar just above his right eye. His hair is dyed red and commonly spiked upwards, with two little tufts of it appearing like horns. His teeth are shown to be consistently sharp. Originally, Kirishima's hair was black and reached just above his shoulders. His hero costume consists of two dark red, gear-shaped shoulder pads, a sash with a red "R" on it's centre, referring to his hero name; Red Riot. Along with this he has dark red boots, black pants with a ripped cape and black sleeves. His chest is left bare and he wears a black jaw guard that reaches around his head.

Personality:

Kirishima has an outgoing, friendly and determined attitude, ready to take on any challenge that comes his way. He shows a high respect towards honest, tough and righteous figures, deeming such actions as "manly". At the same time, he dislikes opposite attitudes such as cowardice or cheating. He has a very noble and willing personality, as well as being kind-hearted and friendly towards his fellow classmen. Even after defeating Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu in the tie-breaker match during the Sports Festival, he offered a handshake in good sport, proving his fair and chivalrous demeanour. Originally, Kirishima lacked confidence or self-esteem and was ashamed when he could not help two girls who were being threatened by a gigantic villain, having apologized to them later for his lack of bravery during said moment. However, his attitude, as well as motivation to become a hero, was inspired by the hero Crimson Riot. Thus, Kirishima chose to reinvent himself after being accepted into U.A. High, modelling his attitude of what a hero should be; selfless, fearless and determined.

Abilities:

While on the surface it may seem his only ability is hardening his body, he has shown his formidability on many occasions. For one, he withstood Kendo Rappa's barrage of attacks to rival Fat Gum's durability, but he wasn't good enough to force the monstrous Strongarm user to the defensive. Against Katsuki Bakugo, one of the strongest members of Class 1-A, he forced Bakugo on the defensive side due to his combat ability. In the beginning of the series he ranked 2nd in the U.A. Entrance Exams. He has a variety of Super Moves that all start with the word "Red", a nod to his idol Crimson Riot. Two out of three of those Super Moves are all his own fighting style that take advantage of his quirk. His fighting style mostly aims to intimidate the opponent by charging first while letting the villain know his durability is considerable enough to cause worry. Of course, villains are normally more competent than that, and put up a fight, but Kirishima gets away with it because he's much like a tank. In close quarters combat, he fights tenaciously, even in the face of death. This is highlighted in his fight with Kendo Rappa and Hekiji Tengai even after seeing Fat Gum get deprived by them. Against Bakugo, he is seen attacking rather ferociously, and he is also able to break blades.
