His eyes are sharp and bright red in color.During his time in Aldera Junior High School, similar to Izuku, he wore a plain black gakuran uniform with yellow buttons, accompanied by brown loafers. While at home, he wears a green jinbei over a white shirt and gray sweatpants.

Personality

Katsuki is a crude, arrogant, short-tempered, and aggressive person, especially at the beginning of the series. Katsuki tends to come off as unheroic; this problematic behavior going all the way back to his early childhood days when he was known to bully a young, Quirkless, Izuku Midoriya. He showed to be extremely arrogant and condescending to those around him, often bragging of his Explosion Quirk's power, and even boasting that he would take on his entire middle school class. He showed open hostility towards Izuku, mainly because of his former Quirkless status, and would frequently put down his dream of becoming a Hero, despite lacking a Quirk, and also gave him the insulting nickname "Deku" (meaning useless and unable to achieve anything). He even threatened Izuku not to apply to U.A. High School and became angry upon both of them passing the Entrance Exam, wanting to be the only person from his middle school to make it there.Katsuki often has difficulty accepting his mistakes and learning from his shortcomings, and will fiercely deny them whenever they are pointed out by others, regardless of who does it. Katsuki has a more vulnerable side, having been led to tears due to damaged pride a few times.

Quirk

Explosion (爆ばく破は, Bakuha?): Katsuki's Quirk allows him to secrete nitroglycerin-like sweat from the palms of his hands and ignite it on command, allowing him to create strong explosions. The more Katsuki sweats, the stronger his explosions become. If Katsuki overuses this power, his forearms will start to ache.

Quirkless

Quirkless people are those who possess absolutely no Quirk, particularly unique features, or anything that would put them under the classification of being superhuman. As of now, they exist as a minority in the world, currently making up approximately 20% of the global population.Before the rising phenomenon of Quirks (previously known as Meta Abilities), Quirkless people were considered ordinary, and far outnumbered those with Quirks (previously known as Metas). However, after generations passed by and superpowers came to be accepted, people possessing Quirks now make up the majority of the human population.Society reacts differently to Quirkless people. In the case of Izuku Midoriya, for example, he was the subject of mockery and prejudice, whereas with Melissa Shield, although she had a good relationship with people with Quirks, she used to be seen with pity for being Quirkless. Commonly, anyone who does not possess a Quirk is considered to be weak and worthless, or that their circumstances are incredibly unfortunate and rare.
