PERSONALITY

Neito appears calm, serene and intelligent. Among the students of Class 1-B, he is the most fervent in wanting to bring down the popularity of Class 1-A. He can also be unpleasant, sarcastic and vocal when he is around the rival class. It seems that he is jealous of Class 1-A's popularity but he is also worried, because whenever they have problems, they will also endanger the rest of the school. When he hears that Class 1-A fails in some way, he will usually scoff loudly and passive-aggressively ask how they could possibly fail since they are meant to be the top class. Most of the time when this happens, Kendo manages to restrain Neito before he gets out of control, apologizing on his behalf to whoever he was insulting. He has been shown to have somewhat of a superiority complex, as he takes any opportunity he can to mock and challenge anyone in Class 1-A. This even extends to making fun of himself to make fun of the students of Class 1-A, such as when he mocks the five who had to take extra lessons during the School Trip arc, saying that it's strange that so many of them have failed, this being the only one failed from class 1-B. When he teases too much, his classmate 1-B Itsuka Kendo hits him on the neck to make him calm down. People have cited him as mentally unstable, but it's more than likely a joke about his obsession with surpassing Class 1-A. little threatened and intimidated by Class 1-A due to his abilities, this is shown when he sighs in relief after knowing that he does not have to face them in the Provisional Licensing Exam. He switches back to his usual dismissive perspective, but is possibly using this as a cover-up to reveal his true emotions.

PERSONALITY

Despite his dismissive and competitive attitude towards Class 1-A, he has been shown to demonstrate compassion and understanding towards his classmates in Class 1-B. She tends to approach them with an encouraging attitude and never puts them down, only giving them constructive criticism when they need it, an example of this is when she tries to comfort Setsuna Tokage after she and her team lost against class 1-A in Team training. She also appears to be relatively confident in Class 1-B's abilities and is seen boasting about Kinoko Komori's Quirk to the rival class, saying that they should not have underestimated her and that she is someone to fear. It is also shown that Neito is able to put aside his disdainful front outside the classroom, as seen when he explained the nature of his Quirk to Shota, Izuku, and Eri. His way of speaking is similar to that of Seiji Shishikura, as he tends to use more eloquent words than are strictly necessary, especially when he addresses the students of Class 1-A. This is seen most prominently in the Joint Training Arc.

APPEARANCE

Neito is a fairly tall young man with straight blonde hair, which becomes shorter as he lowers his head, in a style that is parted to the left, with his bangs hanging over his right eye. His irises are periwinkle violet, his pupils are white and his eyes are shaped so that they lean towards the far sides of his face, usually remaining half closed, this, along with his characteristic smile and head tilt, Giving him a rather contemptuous look. His hero costume is a black double-breasted tuxedo with two long trains that reach almost to his ankles. Three watches hang from one of two belts around his waist, presumably to help him keep track of his Quirk's time limit, and leaves the collar of his shirt turned upside down, a blue and black dotted tie around his neck. Both his coat and pants are black, with the exception of the cuffs of his sleeves and the inside sides of his tails, and his shoes are white with a simple design.

SKILLS

General Skills: Neito may not possess hand-to-hand combat skills, but he makes up for it with the competent handling he has of his Quirk. Neito possesses essentially the same advantages and disadvantages of the original Don user that he copied from. Furthermore, his ability to switch between Quirks makes him a more versatile and unpredictable opponent to fight in group battles, where he has more opportunities to copy various Quirks, whether from friends or enemies. In the UA Sports Festival Cavalry Battle, he copied Gifts from Katsuki Bakugo and Eijiro Kirishima and seamlessly used the copied Gifts to take the highly capable Katsuki by surprise, twice. During the Joint Training Battle, Carefree Mind had enough nerve to take on Izuku Midoriya, one of Class 1-A's most powerful students, but before he could, Izuku's Quirk went awry. After taming Izuku's Quirk, Neito was still able to take him by surprise, knocking the former down, and attempting to copy his Quirk. Unfortunately, Neito's efforts proved futile as he realized that he could not copy One For All, a stack-type Quirk, resulting in the tuxedo-wearing student being subdued by Neito's close combat skills. Ochaco Uraraka.

SKILLS

Sharp Intellect: Neito is shown to be a very intelligent individual, along with a strategic and analytical mind. He formulated a strategy for Class 1-B during the first stage of the Sports Festival, which involved the students of said class purposely placing low in the Obstacle Course, correctly guessing that it was only the preliminary round and none of them would be cut. of the Sports Festival. This tactic was employed so that Class 1-B could observe the other students and then have the advantage of learning their quirks, all while keeping their own powers hidden. During the combat portion of the Festival, Neito was easily able to see Ochaco's true strategy when he fought Katsuki, something that many of the audience members, including the current Pro Heroes, did not notice until much later.

SKILLS

Neito's cunning was further displayed during the final round of the joint training battle. Neito had Hitoshi Shinso use his "Artificial Vocal Cords: Personal Cords" to imitate Ochaco's scream to successfully catch an unsuspecting scout Izuku. He explained that Class 1-B knows not to underestimate a powerful combatant like Izuku, so Neito planned for his team to defeat Izuku's teammates before facing the latter. As part of his provocations, Neito claimed that Izuku's teammates were in trouble and then asked how Katsuki can smile after being the cause of All Might's retirement causing Izuku to finally snap, consequently leading to One For There to be left without control. After Ochaco subdued him, Neito explained that while he uses the clocks on his hero costume to keep track of the time limits for his copied Quirks, he keeps 3 clocks visible to trick his opponents into believing that the number of clocks represents the maximum number of Gifts you can copy. Furthermore despite being captured, Neito knew that Izuku was pursuing Hitoshi and through a delayed reaction, he was able to hinder Izuku with Twin Impact, which Neito had copied from Nirengeki Shoda.

DON/QUIRK

Copy (コピー Kopī?): His Quirk allows him to duplicate and use another person's Quirk after coming into physical contact with the user. He is currently capable of maintaining four Quirks at once and can maintain any copied power for ten minutes. After the time limit runs out, you lose the copied Gift until it once again touches the original user. You gain full access to the Gift you copied and can use it however you want. However he cannot simultaneously use multiple Gifts, only one at a time. He cannot effectively use copied Quirks that require previously stored energy, such as One For All and Rewind. He is also limited by his own physical body; he would not have the physical strength to handle powerful Gifts that stress the user.

EQUIPMENT

Stopwatches: Neito wears three watches on his belt that he uses to record the time that has passed since he copied a specific Quirk, letting him know when its use has run out. Neito also appears to use these to trick his opponents into assuming that the limit of the Gifts copied from him is only three when it appears to be four at a minimum.
