# Talk:Ochaco Uraraka


### Ochaco Uraraka
I have listed this article for peer review because I have anticipated getting the article to WP:Featured article status.  Although on 17 March 2025, I believed the article met the criteria for FA status per Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia/Assessment#Quality assessments, SchroCat and Gog the Mild disagreed and pointed out issues with the article in Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ochaco Uraraka/archive1.  I then created a list of issues to address in Talk:Ochaco Uraraka/to do and addressed those issues.  I also considered Gog the Mild's GAN/FAC checklist.  The Guild of Copy Editors is currently helping copyedit this article.  My goal is to promote this as an WP:FAC, but I am willing to have this become a WP:GAN before it becomes an FAC.  If we decide to do a GAN, I will need to submit another peer review to ask for what items we need to get this to become an FAC.
Thank you, Z. Patterson (talk) 04:30, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi there. First of all, it would be better to tone down the in-universe information like abilities of infobox unless it is related with how the media and creators refer to the character. For example, Naruto Uzumaki's techniques have a heavy mention in the appearances section from his article due to its impact in the story but there are some he uses that are barely explored due to its lack of importance such as variation of Rasengan or when he uses chakra from the tailed beasts. Some years ago I wrote Yuta Okkotsu because he was the main focus of the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie which resulted in little focus about what exactly are his abilities besides Rika's curse. His Domain Expansion is only mentioned in reception due to how third party sources comparing it with Archer Emiya's moves Fate stay Night. Remember to tone down the role in the plot the most notable actions just like Thorfinn (Vinland Saga) or supporting characters like Askeladd who have less screentime. A copyedit might be needed considering some sentences start in a similar fashion while:
"Comic Book Resources also compared her to characters such as Winry Rockbell in Fullmetal Alchemist, Ruby Hoshino in Oshi no Ko, Petra Ral in Attack on Titan, Usagi Tsukino in Sailor Moon, Misa Amane in Death Note, Yuki Cross in Vampire Knight, Tohru Honda in Fruits Basket, Asuna Yuki in Sword Art Online, Atsuko Kagari in Little Witch Academia, Sakura Haruno and Hinata Hyuga in Naruto,[143][144] Yotsuba Nakano in The Quintessential Quintuplets,[145] Princess Shuna in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime,[146] and Nobara Kugisaki in Jujutsu Kaisen". might come as an overkill.
There is no need to rush closing peer reviews like you did with Gunbaster. If you want more feedback, the fastest way is exploring the most recent peer reviews and offer feedback to other articles in exchange to feedback. Good work.Tintor2 (talk) 00:43, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

@Tintor2: I addressed these issues at Special:Diff/1284354973 and Special:Diff/1284358280.  If everything seems good, I plan to submit a WP:GAN before asking for feedback for an WP:FAC. Z. Patterson (talk) 02:43, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
Sure. I just suggest removing the abilities section and move any notable skill to appearances as it might come across as fancruft. Tintor2 (talk) 14:17, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
@Tintor2:  Done Z. Patterson (talk) 01:58, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Although my goal is for the article to become a featured article, per Gog the Mild's suggestions in Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ochaco Uraraka/archive1 and Talk:Ochaco Uraraka/to do, I am requesting a WP:GAN before I seek WP:FAC for the article again.  I have made the corrections noted in these pages and in Wikipedia:Peer review/Ochaco Uraraka/archive1 to increase the quality of the article as much as possible.  This article may require a peer review during its status as a good article to see what we need to do to get it to featured article status.  As FAC has higher standards than GAN and may require WP:FAM, this is the reason for the intermediate GAN. Z. Patterson (talk) 21:34, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Article contains a lot of Valnet sources. This could be potentially quick failed. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 02:13, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
+ the reception section contains mostly trivia information. This needs to be rewritten from scratch. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 02:22, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
I recommend removing small reviews and focus primarily on articles that focus on her. There are some articles useful here but some minor reviews of a volume don't help. Also, I recommend searching in Google Scholars to see if there is more content. I'm pretty sure there is considering I found similar content while working for Lenalee Lee. Tintor2 (talk) 11:33, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
@Boneless Pizza! and Tintor2: I removed all Comic Book Resources sources because sources after 2016 are generally unreliable per WP:VALNET and replaced them with more reliable sources or removed CBR sources entirely.  In my opinion, the replacement sources contribute to WP:SIGCOV and are not trivia. Z. Patterson (talk) 10:48, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
Nice work finding other articles especially two scholars. Guess I'll review it if BP agrees. Tintor2 (talk) 12:27, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
@Tintor2: I understand.  Thank you. Z. Patterson (talk) 01:56, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
What nakes POMEgrante and Anime corner reliable? I know there are still existing valnet sources, but this article 100% will never be FA because of that. Not to discourage the author, but I'm just giving out early feedback. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 02:55, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
@Boneless Pizza! and Tintor2: Nothing was specifically mentioned against using POMEgranate and Anime Corner as sources in the article because they have editorial processes.  POMEgranate Magazine does not allow content created by artificial intelligence, but the page also says any "thoughtful, sincere human" can write it.  However, after checking the page about Ali Blecman, it does not mention her credentials and instead gives an anecdote.  For this reason, I removed POMEgranate Magazine.  Anime Corner has an editorial policy and mentions credentials in its team.
My plan for this article's status as a good article is to go through all of the Valnet sources and attempt to replace them with something of higher quality or remove them entirely if I am not able to find a better source in any language.  I primarily intend to find Japanese language sources that have WP:SIGCOV first, then sources in other languages, to attempt to replace Game Rant and Screen Rant sources, as Game Rant and Screen Rant are marginally reliable.  I figured that removing Comic Book Resources sources would be the step to get it to WP:GA status, and repeating this process for Game Rant and Screen Rant to get it to WP:FA during its time as a GA would be a sufficient plan.

### Driveby comments
A character article with an awards and nominations section? The popularity section seems to have that info already, but that section just lists what is she ranked at the poll. If we saw this at FAC also, this article will be failed immediately. I'm not sure if I am too strict for this one at GA, but the ranking or lists should be combined together in a single sentence to shorten it like for ex like what was written in Jill Valentine (You should follow this or other FA articles so that you have some guidance about structure of the article supposed to be) "Several journalists have named Ochada as of the most popular character in Gravity". 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 02:06, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

While the popularity section need to be toned down, at least the critical reception uses several sources focused on the character and her relationships so when it comes notability I see no problems with this. Tintor2 (talk) 02:12, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
I didn't mentioned about notability here though. Additionally, Collider is also a Valnet source. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 02:18, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
"Writers for the Anime UK News and ComicBook.com also praised the character.[94][95]" Ummm what did she praised to the character?
"Anime! Anime! stated that Ochaco is bright and not hypocritical.[96]" This is not an reception lol
"Jacki Jing and Lynzee Loveridge of Anime News Network stated that Ochaco's quirk, combined with her knowledge of martial arts she learnt from Gunhead, make her formidable in combat, and her quirk is useful for rescuing people. They said that she focuses on growing herself how she prefers" Personal opinion and not a reception.
Overall, I'm afraid to say that this character is not FA-able only GA (but the issues above should be dealth also since I don't believe that those are really "reception") due to the lack of content that focuses the character. As per WP:BEFORE, most of the info are trivial. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 02:15, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
@Boneless Pizza! and Tintor2: I made the changes noted so far. Z. Patterson (talk) 14:43, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
Comment - I originally combined the sentences for the awards the character won when I made the changes, but the sentence is now two sentences for readability and flow.  I am pinging the editor for awareness. @SamuelLovesFilms: Z. Patterson (talk) 22:43, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
per WP:VG talkpage. Go on and use Valnet sources that mainly talks about Ochada and not passing mentions. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 11:36, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
It's still early but if an agreement is not formed, I will try asking for a third opinion similar to when I had problem with the Vinland Saga (TV series) review.Tintor2 (talk) 22:13, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
@Tintor2: I think we have an agreement now. Z. Patterson (talk) 08:18, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
Okay, let's give it a shot:
The lead seems good but the emphasis of main protagonist is redudant. Only Deku seems to handle that title.
Mix all the lead inuniverse info together in the first paragraph rather than dividing it into another paragraph.
Creation
Explain who is Kōhei Horikoshi and the series since it's the first mention
Avoid repeating the same words like "In an interview"
Characterization and themes
I don't see the point of a birthdate of a fictional character in Wikipedia unless it's important for her.
Appearances
I'd consider trimming the in-universe information a bit as some events feel disconnected.
Give a brief sentence about what she does in the movies.
That's all. If it's possible about the reception, I would consider first having a paragraph about her, and then focus on her relationships. Remember to ping me. Tintor2 (talk) 11:34, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
@Tintor2: I made the changes you listed. Z. Patterson (talk) 03:06, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
Passing. While it needs polish for FA quality, it seems suitable for GA. Tintor2 (talk) 11:36, 8 May 2025 (UTC)


### Ochaco Uraraka
Previous peer review

I have listed this article for peer review because the article is currently a WP:GA, and I was wondering what I should do to have it be an WP:FAC.  User:Tintor2 did the first peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review/Ochaco Uraraka/archive1 and reviewing the WP:GAN at Talk:Ochaco Uraraka/GA1.  I know the criteria for WP:FAC are that the article must be thorough, fully follow the WP:MOS, and have high-quality sources.  I wonder how else I need to polish this article before I can have an FAC.
Thank you, Z. Patterson (talk) 01:46, 12 June 2025 (UTC)


#### Comments from Jaguar
I'll list some comments below upon my first read-through:

"Born into a poor working-class household" - linking poverty is perhaps a WP:OVERLINK, I would remove it
"She is one of Izuku Midoriya's closest friends" - it would be beneficial to explain who Midoriya is, for manga Luddites like me
"quirk is Zero Gravity (無重力, Zero Gurabiti)," - I have never seen the small font Japanese text before, what is it?
"Her character has received praise for her development and personality" - 'development' here links to character arc, I would simply replace it with what it links to
"Originally, he was going to create the character who would become" - would sound better as Originally, he intended to create the character who would become
"he remarked that his tendency to draw thick hips," - hips overlink
"Ayane Sakura said she was happy to have received the role of Ochaco and that her desire to portray Ochaco was strong" - rephrase to Sakura was happy to have received the role of Ochaco and said her desire to portray Ochaco was strong
"Sakura stated that in the first season of the series, she thought Ochaco was a character with a strong core" - would cut down to Sakura thought Ochaco was a character with a strong core in the first season
" Additionally, she said that from the first season, she regarded Ochaco as a hero instead of a heroine." - would cut to She also regarded Ochaco as a hero instead of a heroine, particularly in the first season
"remember much because she could not see the script well" - script is another overlink
"Luci Christian stated that she had not read the manga, she was surprised to learn that Ochaco was strong" - an over-reliance on 'stated' comes across as clunky and can be better substituted for words like 'said', 'affirmed', or another synonyms
"such as in the speech she gave to plead for Izuku's return in the sixth season, where she cannot be hampered by her voice." - what does this mean?
"and it would resonate for so many people trying to figure things out when they are young." - informal text
"She enters the aeroplane by being shot through a harpoon" - sounds like she was shot through by a harpoon! Not She enters the aeroplane by being propelled by a harpoon?
"Ochaco understands Izuku Midoriya well,[20] was Izuku's first friend,[2] is positive to Izuku, and trusts him." - very choppy! This can easily be condensed into one sentence
These are all of my recommendations so far. Overall, it's a well-written article, certainly deserving of its GA status though it will need a brush up before submitting to FAC. Though seemingly minor, I would be wary of overlinks and repeated usages of loaded terms like 'stated', as it often disrupts the flow of the prose and comes across as rather choppy. You've done a good job with this article. ♦ JAGUAR  09:28, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

@Jaguar: The small text above 無重力 is ゼログラビティ (Zero Gurabiti), furigana.  This appears in the original My Hero Academia and in supplementary works.  The katakana reading appears in the Japanese Wikipedia article because if the furigana had been absent, it would have been read as むじゅうりょく (Mujūryoku), the standard readings based on what appears in the list of jōyō kanji.  I created a list of things to address in Talk:Ochaco Uraraka/to do.  Thank you most sincerely. Z. Patterson (talk) 22:02, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
@Jaguar: I am wondering if I should provide an alternative spelling to Ochaco's name, Ochako, as that spelling is used in the Viz Media English translation of the My Hero Academia manga, similar to how alternative spellings are used in articles such as honour, rigour, metre, and jewellery. Z. Patterson (talk) 22:15, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
I addressed the points that you addressed. Z. Patterson (talk) 02:54, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
I was WP:BOLD and decided to add the note about alternative spelling for thoroughness. Thoroughness is a criterion of WP:FAC.  Z. Patterson (talk) 21:27, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

As Arconning pointed out in Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ochaco Uraraka/archive2, the following images exist on the article, have proper licences, and pass an FAC test.  These images should not be changed without broad consensus.

File:Ochako Uraraka.png - Fair use
File:Ochaco Uraraka concept sketch.jpg - Fair use

The second FAC was not successful because the feedback I received was to make the prose more clear and avoid assuming in-universe knowledge.  After copyediting the article for these kinds of text, this article may need another peer review from someone who (or a group of users that) is not in WP:A&M or the last two reviewers.  Tasks can be found in Talk:Ochaco Uraraka/to do.

### Ochaco Uraraka
Previous peer review

I have listed this article for peer review based on the feedback I received from Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ochaco Uraraka/archive2 back in July 2025 was to have it reviewed for general readability.  The comments I received from SchroCat and AirshipJungleman29 in Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ochaco Uraraka/archive1 and Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ochaco Uraraka/archive2, respectively, included concerns that the article was written in an "in-universe" style and that parts may confuse a general reader.  Although I had the article copy edited and reviewed before the GAN and the second FAC, AirshipJungleman29 said that it would have been helpful if I had checked it for general readability.  That is, general readability is when a person not familiar with My Hero Academia had not come across this before.  In response to AirshipJungleman29's comments, I withdrew the second FAC and endeavoured to make it more readable to a general audience.  I am seeking further input from someone who is not in Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga as to what I can do to make this more readable.  I also submitted a request in Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests for someone in the GOCE to copy edit the article for general readability.
Please note that whoever performs this peer review should not be the previous two reviewers (User:Tintor2 and User:Jaguar in Wikipedia:Peer review/Ochaco Uraraka/archive1 and Wikipedia:Peer review/Ochaco Uraraka/archive2, respectively), nor should the reviewer be a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga.  I have this provision in place in response to the statement I made in the second FAC, where I said that I would "request a peer review from someone, or a group of users, who is not in Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga, and who are not the reviewers of the previous two peer reviews."
Thank you, Z. Patterson (talk) 22:37, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

One comment that might help. Don't let a peer Review be defined by a single user. Try getting as many editors you trust by either asking on projects, talk pages or exchanging feedback with other nominators. Tintor2 (talk) 22:56, 19 September 2025 (UTC)
"In My Hero Academia" There are some parts that need explanation from a more outofuniverse point:

Since it's a description of her role in the series explain more things like who is Midoriya and Class 1A
How much of the section covers the "UA Sports Festival"?
"She works with fellow student Tsuyu Asui, professional hero Ryukyu, and professional hero Sea Rescue Hero Selkie to stop drug smugglers flying an aeroplane.[33][34] Using her powers and tools, she enters the aeroplane and knocks the pilot out. Realising that the drug could contaminate the ocean if the aeroplane crashes, she negates weight from the aeroplane and lands it with help from Ryukyu and student hero Nejire Hado" This feels random when beginning. Try adding a starting point. "Some time after"
there are some parts that feel like a premise of the series rather than Ochaco's character

"Throughout My Hero Academia, Ochaco and Himiko Toga, an antagonist, have fought each other" Fiction should always be written in present tense and there is no need to mention the clones unless they mentioned far later or have a major impact on Ochako.
Is the cosplay image important?
The merchanidse section feels like a refbomb that doesn't stand out. Unless there is context about a person trying it or developers I don't see much of its point.
Once again. Don't take my single opinion enough for the entire peer review and ask for Aoba or other users' opinion in regards to what needs to be revised by either asking editors or exchanging more feedback.Tintor2 (talk) 17:45, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

@Tintor2: I made some of the changes you pointed out so far.  I will endeavour to find time to research the UA Sports Festival and find a way to make the merchandise section work, in a similar way to how Allen Walker's article is structured.  Thank you for your suggestions so far.  I will seek input from other users before I resubmit this article for FAC. Z. Patterson (talk) 21:24, 20 September 2025 (UTC)
@Tintor2: I attempted to describe the UA Sports Festival and expand the Merchandise section.  Thank you for what you suggested so far.
I will be notifying Aoba47 per your suggestion, and Z1720, Lee Vilenski, and David Fuchs, three users who are highly involved in good articles and featured articles and who appear not to be in WP:A&M, to see if they would be willing to review the article and determine what we should address before I resubmit this for an FAC. I believe it is a good idea to do this. Z. Patterson (talk) 22:57, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
Hi! Sorry, I simply do not have the time to do a review on this article at this time. Apologies. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:29, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
@Lee Vilenski: I understand.  Thank you most sincerely. Z. Patterson (talk) 17:58, 27 September 2025 (UTC)


#### Aoba47
Just to be clear, I have not read or watched anything related to My Hero Academia, so I would be approaching this article as a complete outsider. My comments are below:

I would recommend having the lead's second sentence be an brief overview of My Hero Academia's basic premise. For instance, this part In My Hero Academia, where most characters have superpowers called quirks is useful information, but it is currently buried in the middle of the paragraph. I think that it would be a better idea to more clearly define the broader story before going into information about this specific character. This would be the most useful for readers like myself who know nothing about this topic. I would be very mindful of this throughout the article as a whole.
I am a bit confused by this sentence: Ochaco aspires to become a hero to support her parents as she protects and saves others' lives. You say that she aspires to become a hero, but I would think that by protecting and saving other people, that she would already be considered a hero. Is there a reason that she would not already be considered a hero?
I would suggest removing the part on the "Deku" nickname. It has nothing to do with this character, and it reads more like a trivial detail to me. The lead should be used to do an overview of the article, so I would avoid details like this one.
I believe that this part, which allows her to nullify the effects of gravity and make any object weightless by touching it with the extended pads on her fingertips, could be condensed into something like the following which allows her to nullify the effects of gravity and make any object weightless by touching it or even further with something like which allows her to make any object weightless by touching it.
The lead does not really cover much from the "Concept and creation" section. The only information included from that part are the voice actors. Is there anything else that can be included for the lead?
This part has been offered sounds off, particularly the "offered" word choice. I think that something like has been made available or has been released would read better.
For File:Ochako Uraraka.png, I would include the name of the artist in the caption if it is known. See Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) and Iron Man as examples of this. I would also have the WP:ALT text for a bit more descriptive, such as describing what she is doing in the photo or her outfit. Again, the two articles linked in this comment could be used as examples for this
I would avoid just repeating the person's name for the WP:ALT text without any additional information or context.
It is encouraged to keep non-free media usage to a minimal and only for instances in which it illustrates something that cannot be conveyed through the prose alone. What are the rationales for File:Ochaco Uraraka concept sketch.jpg and File:Ochaco Uraraka.jpg? Neither seem particularly necessary. There would need to be a stronger justification for their inclusion.
My Hero Academia should be in italics for the citation titles per MOS:CONFORMTITLE.
What is a "student hero"?
Is there any further information on the character's development? The current section seems quite short, even more so considering that a good deal of the first paragraph is on a different character (Yu Takeyama). This section also reads quite choppy as it jumps around a fair amount. For instance, the part on the English translation for the character's name and Horikoshi's art style and preferences come off as very random.
Currently, the character's first appearance is only brought up in the infobox. I think that it would be useful to have when and where the character first appear in both the lead and in the "Concept and creation" section, as this context would be helpful to provide a frame of reference for readers who are unfamiliar with this character.
Yu Takeyama is linked, so I am guessing that she ended up being a character, so I would briefly clarify this if possible. The link is a bit confusing now, as the current wording makes it sound like this is a character who was rejected and never actually made.
What is meant by "suspicious" for Horikoshi's art style?
I would avoid overlinking. An example of this is the Pretty link, which is just unnecessary.
I hope that this is a helpful start. I will continue reading through the article once all of these comments have been addressed. Best of luck with the peer review! Aoba47 (talk) 01:46, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

@Aoba47: This is a helpful start.  I added these tasks to Talk:Ochaco Uraraka/to do and will address them accordingly.  Thank you most sincerely. Z. Patterson (talk) 20:41, 25 September 2025 (UTC)
For your third point, I removed the information about the nickname "Deku" from the lead.  I am not sure if this also applies to the body of the article proper. Z. Patterson (talk) 20:59, 25 September 2025 (UTC)
I have not read up to that part yet, but I will keep an eye out for it when I get there. Aoba47 (talk) 03:01, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
@Aoba47: I attempted to address the points you pointed out.  Along with the inclusion of a nickname in the body of the article, I am wondering what else I might need to do for Concept and creation.  I expanded on this section and attempted to have it flow in a way that it did not look like it was jumping around. Z. Patterson (talk) 01:18, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
For the lead, it may be better to have the overview part about My Hero Academia and quirks be its own sentence. I see what you are doing with combining this with information about Ochaco's quirk, but I am not sure if it entirely works. If you do want to keep this structure, I would instead recommend the following: In My Hero Academia, most characters have superpowers called quirks, like Ochaco who can nullify the effects of gravity and make any object weightless. I do not think that it is entirely necessary to include the name of Ochaco's quirk in the lead.
This sentence, Originally, Horikoshi planned to have a character who could change her size, Yu Takeyama or Mount Lady, fill the role that Ochaco would fill in the series., would need to be revised, as it is not written particularly well, particularly with the repetition with "fill" in the latter half. I honestly think that the entire second paragraph should be rewritten.
I would revise the following sentence, Kōhei Horikoshi, the author of the manga series My Hero Academia, created a fictional universe where most characters have superpowers called quirks., to something like For the manga series My Hero Academia, author and illustrator Kōhei Horikoshi created a fictional universe where most characters have superpowers called quirks. I think that the current structure seems a bit off with how the information is placed, but it could just be me.
How would a superhero with the power to change their size be considered "problematic"? It is a fairly common superhero power, so there has already been precedent for it in other stories.
What is a "professional hero"?
This part, instead, and he favoured the name he gave Ochaco, does not really make much sense to me. I would assume that he would like Ochaco's name because he is the one that made the character and gave her this name in the first place.
I think that I understand what you are saying with the second paragraph of the "Concept and creation" section, in that Horikoshi's design for Ochaco could be taken as sexualizing the character. However, I believe that this paragraph as a whole would benefit from further revisions.
I have been asked about this above, so I have jumped ahead in the article, and no, I do not think that the "Deku" nickname needs to be mentioned in the article at all. It is not really about this character, and it reads more like a trivial detail about the story, rather than about anything significant or important. I would recommend removing it.
I am uncertain about this image caption: Ayane Sakura (left) and Luci Christian (right) voiced Ochaco in the Japanese and English dubs, respectively. I am guessing that the anime was originally in Japanese. A dub is for when the original audio is replaced with something else, so I do not believe that Japanese dub makes sense in this context.
For this part, the school in the series, UA High School, I think there could be a better way to present this information.
The following, combat, behaviour, wiser, intelligence, and technique are clear examples of overlinking. These links should be removed.
The information in the "Voice actresses" subsection goes more into detail about the character and the overall story, and it seems to assume that readers would already be familiar with My Hero Academia. I found this part to be quite confusing. Characters like Himiko Toga and events like the 20th episode of the seventh season are brought up before the reader has even had a chance to read about this character's storylines.
The second paragraph of the "Voice actresses" subsection seems both overly wordy and also very unclear, at least to me.
Sorry, but I do think that this article would take significant work to be ready for a FAC, as I am running into a number of issues even after going through just the lead and the first section. I am going to stop my review here, as I unfortunately do not have the time to go through this article as thoroughly as I would like, but apologies again, as I do not believe that this is ready for a FAC. Best of luck with it, and I hope that you have a great rest of your weekend and a wonderful start to your week! Aoba47 (talk) 19:08, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

@Aoba47: They are on the to-do list.  Thank you for reviewing. Z. Patterson (talk) 00:06, 6 October 2025 (UTC)


#### Comments from TechnoSquirrel69
As promised after a request, here's a prose review! I am also not familiar with the series this character is from, which I hope is an asset for assessing in-universe style. 

The parenthetical Japanese in the opening sentence looks like it's crowding the text a little. Not required, but consider moving this to a footnote (see {{Nihongo foot}}, for example).
In My Hero Academia, most → In My Hero Academia, most
quirks, like Ochaco who can nullify → quirks; Ochaco can nullify
"suffer from severe nausea" The adjective strikes me as unnecessary, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.
"poor working-class household" These two mean similar things in this context, so can we find a word that combines their meanings? If you'd like to keep both, put a comma between adjacent adjectives (ha).
The "She first appears ..." sentence is running on. I might split the information about the character's first appearance into its own sentence or move it to another sentence.
I also wonder if this could be rephrased out of active voice so it doesn't sound like the in-universe character ("She") is doing something in the real world ("first appears").
Izuku Midoriya who → Izuku Midoriya, who
There quite a few issues with commas in general that need ironing out, so I'll stop mentioning them. This essay is a nice place to start if you'd like more information about where they should or should not be.
"would adversely affect the portrayal as the main heroine" It's unclear without context why this have any adverse effects. It also has questionable relevance to the subject of the article, since this is discussing a cut (partially cut?) character. I would rephrase or omit that information so it doesn't act as a red herring in the lead. That sentence is also running on with too much information packed together.
"Kindness, honesty, determination ..." is very stilted. Standing on its own this almost feels like a neutral point of view violation. Please think about whether this information is warranted here or if it could be said some other way.
Watch out for excessive links in § Merchandise, particularly things like bags and wallets.
This lengthy list is also not very readable. You could group some of them together (such as keys, clothing, and bags becoming accessories, for example) and go into detail about what specific items you're referring to in a footnote if it's warranted.
"Cosplayers have acted as Ochaco." sticks out as something that doesn't quite fit in a section titled "Merchandise".
Use the |script-title= parameter for Japanese titles in the references.
These comments focus on the lead and occasionally touch on other sections. Like Aoba above, I also feel like the prose needs a fair bit of revising before another FAC. I think the best way for you to understand what's needed would be to do a thorough reading of existing character FAs, paying close attention to how information is presented to the reader, as well as various stylistic things that define the prose of Wikipedia's best work. Aoba already linked some good ones in his closing comment, and I think both were written by Thebiguglyalien, an experienced writer in this area. Please let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:40, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

@TechnoSquirrel69: Thank you most sincerely.  In the coming days, I plan to make the changes. Z. Patterson (talk) 12:21, 11 October 2025 (UTC)
