backstory

Sometime during his adolescent years, Shota Aizawa attended U.A. High School where he met Hizashi Yamada and Oboro Shirakumo, with whom he would make friends, and they would end up being called "the three dumbigos of Class A".[1] One day, while picking their hero names, Shota was unable to decide so Hizashi chose the name "Eraser Head" for him.[2][3] During his second year, Shota began to have doubts about his ability to become a hero, feeling even unable to save a kitten he found abandoned on a rainy day when he was on his way to U.A. The only thing he could do at that moment was to leave his umbrella to protect it and continue his walk to the high school. Once in his homeroom class, his friend Hizashi, seeing his glum mood, tries to cheer him up without much success. Suddenly, Oboro arrives through the homeroom class window, using a Cloud he created with his Quirk, making jokes about Shota and Hizashi and interrupting roll call, being admonished by the teacher. Oboro was another classmate with whom Shota maintained a good relationship. Oboro gives back Shota's umbrella, and when he is about to ask him if anything was underneath, Oboro pulled out a cat he rescued earlier from the rain, which is met with adoration from his classmates. Shota realized that it's the same kitten he left under his umbrella.[4] After finishing the roll call, the homeroom teacher reminded the students soon to participate in the Hero Work-Studies, putting special emphasis on Shota, Oboro, and Hizashi since none of them have been assigned to an agency as of yet. After this, the whole of Class 2-A did joint practical exercises with Class 2-B. In one of the exercises, Shota had problems with another student named Sensoji, who ridicules him for his uselessness and weak Quirk, before being separated by the teacher. The homeroom teacher knows that Shota has these problems because he is still uncertain about his future as a hero.

backstory (part 2)

Later, on one of the rooftops of U.A., Shota talked with Oboro and Hizashi about his personal doubts. Oboro advised him to specialize in the battler route because he believes that Shota's Erasure can be very useful in a fight. Shota doubts his partner's statements, although the conversation changes radically when he sees that Oboro feeds the kitten with human food. Then he reminds Oboro and Hizashi that bringing animals to school is against the rules. At that moment, the third-year student Nemuri Kayama appeared, joining their conversation, and ends up adopting the kitten. The next day, Shota and Oboro talked about how Hizashi finally got assigned to an agency. Nemuri appeared again and informed them that her boss, His Purple Highness, was willing to accept them in his agency.[5] Shota and Oboro accepted their offer, and thus, began their Work-Studies at Purple Revolution Agency, with Nemuri and His Purple Highness. One day, while patrolling, Shota tried to stop a villain who has just made a robbery, but the criminal has a Quirk that allows him to generate smoke, and he used it against Shota, blinding him and preventing him from using his Erasure on him. His Purple Highness came to Shota's aid before he could get hurt, but the villain managed to escape. His Purple Highness criticized Shota, not for not stopping the villain, but for acting like a hero with a gloomy face. Mr. Purple advised him that if he wants to be a hero, he must inspire confidence, and for that, he must trust his own power and smile. Back to the Purple Revolution Agency, Shota reflected on Mr. Purple's words. It was good advice, but it is impossible for him to smile if he does not do his job well as a hero, to which his friend Oboro reassured him just to keep smiling even if you screw up. Then, when they talked about what would he do against the Villain if he encounters him again, Oboro came up with the idea of lending Shota his goggles to protect his eyes from the villain's smoke.

backstory (part 3)

A few days later, while patrolling they spotted the same Villain again. This time, thanks to Oboro’s goggles, Shota was not affected by the Villain's Quirk, being able to use his Erasure on him without problems. The Robber Villain tried to attack, but Oboro suddenly appeared and knocked him out with a blow from his quarterstaff. Shota and Oboro successfully immobilized the Villain and His Purple Highness and the bystanders praised them for their work.[6] When the Work-Studies period ended, they returned to U.A., where they met with their colleague Hizashi, who pointed out to Shota that he wore the same type of goggles as Oboro, and Shota clarified that he lent them to protect his eyes. For some reason, this bothers Sensoji, who had a similar idea, wearing shades to prevent being blinded by his own Quirk Blast, and accused Shota of copying his idea. Shota preferred to ignore him. At Ground Beta, their homeroom teacher organized a battle royale in pairs. Shota and Oboro formed a team and ended up facing Sensoji and Hizashi. However, the first, letting himself be carried away by his antipathy towards Shota, decided to face both of them alone. Using his Quirk, Oboro manages to disorient Sensoji, allowing Shota to stand behind him and nullify his Blast Quirk with his Erasure. Taking advantage of the situation, Oboro knocked down Sensoji with his quarterstaff, causing him to lose his shades. Sensoji wanted to continue, but Shota stopped him, arguing that a two-on-one is not a fair fight and tried to return to him his shades. Sensoji could not stand the defeat and broke the shades before stomping out of the class. The homeroom teacher complimented Shota and Oboro for their teamwork and lecture Sensoji for his behavior.Later, Shota was hanging out with Oboro and Hizashi. Oboro talked about his plans for the future in which the three of them, after graduating from U.A. and go independent, they should start their own Hero Office.

packstory (part 4)

Oboro explained that he and Hizashi would start the combat, something for which Shota is not suitable but he would be the edge in battle thanks to his Erasure, allowing him or Hizashi the final blow. Shota asked Oboro if what he has said about him is just another way to say that he can't do anything on his own, but Oboro clarified he is suited to teamwork. Shota was not very convinced with Oboro’s plan, which made both he and Hizashi tease him and his broody act. Nemuri showed up and the conversation drifted to a topic that is none of Shota's business, so he decided to let his friends enjoy the moment, while he contemplated the sky, feeling how things were changing.[7] A week later, Shota, Oboro, and Nemuri returned along with His Purple Highness to continue with the Work-Studies. Shota is patrolling Tasomiya Ward with Oboro when they meet a group of nursery kids. Oboro creates a cloud to lend them a ride while Shota guides them and makes sure their group looks both ways before crossing. Oboro compliments Shota, saying he's a natural with kids and suggest he should work at a daycare or be a school teacher but Shota claims he has no attributes for kids to like the way he acts, but he is proven wrong when after the duo and kids say their goodbyes, one of the children say goodbye personally to Shota. Oboro says to Shota he needs to stop psyching himself out and that he can do anything if he puts his mind to it. Shota doesn't believe he's good enough to work at a daycare or be a teacher, although he considers Oboro's words, The conversation is interrupted when Shota receives a call from Nemuri, warning them to start evacuating the area immediately because a villain named Garvey is wrecking the neighborhood.

backstory (part 5)

Shota and Oboro quickly return to the nursery kids to evacuate them, but Garvey arrives much sooner than they would have expected. Mr. Purple appears and tries to buy them some time so they can put the children safe, but he is easily defeated by the villain thanks to his Stock Quirk. The attacks cause serious damage to a nearby building, which begins to crumble over the children. Oboro creates a cloud to protect them, saving their lives, but by doing so he cannot protect himself and ends up crushed by the rubble. Shota screams for Oboro with no response causing the kids to cry. It starts to rain harder and harder. With Oboro and Mr. Purple defeated, only Shota Aizawa remains to protect the children from the villain. However, Shota doesn't know what to do to stop him. He starts to doubt himself when he hears Oboro's voice through his speaker cheering him on. This gives him a boost of confidence to face the villain,[8] being able to defeat him alone after an arduous battle, where Oboro never stopped encouraging him through the communicator device.Shota is being praised for defeating the villain alone, but he that insisted his friend Oboro cheered him on during the entire fight and wants him to get treated for his wounds as soon as they can. However, he notices that something is fishy when he sees Nemuri and Hizashi are grief-stricken, and Sensoji explains that he could not hear anything from the speaker since it is completely busted, telling him it was likely he was giving himself a pep talk and imagine it was Oboro. Shota brushes Sensoji‘s comment off and looks over the fallen rubble where Oboro was knocked out, only to find out his friend in a body bag, stained with blood, and finally realizes the terrible truth: Oboro Shirakumo is dead. The body is removed, and the rain intensifies. After several minutes Nemuri tells Shota and Hizashi to take cover. Hizashi thanks her for worrying about them but replies the rain fits the mood they're in.

backstory (part 6)

While contemplating the area where Oboro died, Shota remembers all the moments he spent with him, and with Hizashi by his side, they mourn the loss of their friend.[9][1] The death of Oboro caused a strong impact on him, and until he graduated from U.A. Shota intensified his solo training, barely interacting with his classmates. His teachers were a bit worried about him. Even though his grades were above average, the only thing he put effort into was battle training. They thought he had become too complacent for his own good, an opinion that was reinforced when, in a conversation with his homeroom teacher, he declared that he would start his own Hero Agency as soon as he graduated from U.A. High School. The teacher tried to convince him not to rush but Shota replies that he wants to be an independent, underground hero, specializing in anti-villains combat. Once he graduated and acquired his diploma, Shota began his Pro Hero career as Eraser Head that will lead him to obstacles, villains, and allies along the way.[10]
