Shinya Kamihara

, also known as the , is the former No. 5 Pro Hero, and the current No. 4 Pro Hero. He is also the leader of The Lurkers.
==Appearance==
Shinya is a slim and muscular man, shorter than most of his top-class heroic peers. He has gray hair shaped into three sharp points that cover the right side of his face and dark gray eyes, and he wears a mask over his lower face, covering his nose and mouth.
Shinya's hero costume adapts the appearance of a traditional ninja. He wears a blue mask that covers his mouth, tied at the back of his head with red yarn. Shinya sports red shinobi shozoku underneath a blue robe. His arms are covered in a thin, dark cloth that tucks into his white forearm sleeves. There are red straps attached to his belt and his robe that extend outward.
Shinya has a gold mask attached to his right shoulder and sports a signature red scarf with a white patch attached to the front. Shinya finishes his costume with blue socks and yellow zori sandals.
During the Final War, after Katsuki Bakugo is fatally wounded by Tomura Shigaraki, Shinya uses his ultimate technique Zenith to turn his body into threads, and insert himself into the body to stitch his wounds and save his life. As a result, he emerges as a small piece of thread with a tiny form of his head at the end.

==Personality==
Befitting the nature of a shinobi, Shinya is a calm and focused individual. He can maintain a level head even in a crisis and consoles his teammates when they panic.
Shinya is quite intelligent and is good at analyzing situations and strategies. He could discern the nature of All For One's Warping Quirk after only seeing it in action once. Shinya is quick to take initiative to prevent conflict and brave enough to act in the worst circumstances. To assist All Might, Shinya even took on the likes of All For One.
Shinya has also proven to be very selfless. During the Final War, after Katsuki was nearly killed by Tomura, Shinya was willing to perform surgery on him using his Quirk's Zenith technique, being determined to save Katsuki's life, even if it would come at the cost of his own.
==Abilities==
Overall Abilities: Shinya was ranked 5th of Japan's Pro Heroes, before taking the spot of No. 4 after All Might's retirement. He fully mastered his Quirk, Foldabody, and very well incorporates his proficient Quirk handling into his ninja-style. Shinya flattens his body to pass through extremely tight spaces, including doors, creating secret passages. He can transform any section of his body at will, and often flattens it into multiple shapes to pierce his opponent's body. Shinya mainly uses his Quirk to strike quickly and incapacitate his opponents. He does this by folding his body into a thin blade piercing his opponent before they can even react. Shinya can almost instantly knock someone unconscious by cutting off the blood flow to their brain. Shinya is also capable of fighting in mid-air by folding his body into a drill-like shape and maneuvering around his target.
As he is ranked highly, Shinya is a very powerful hero, which has been proven in his fight against the League of Villains. During the Kamino Incident, Shinya swiftly pierced the bodies of both Kurogiri and a low-tier Nomu, cutting off the blood circulation to their brains, effectively incapacitating the villains. In Kurogiri's case, Shinya incapacitated him before the former could warp anyone away. Magne noted how she couldn't even fathom what happened because of the Ninja Hero's speed. Much later, Shinya showcased his camaraderie and mettle by tag-teaming with Endeavor to help a struggling All Might subdue the immensely powerful All For One and emerge unscathed. During the Paranormal Liberation War, Shinya singlehandedly defeated multiple Paranormal Liberation Front members, and more remarkably, Re-Destro, the former leader of the Meta Liberation Army and a greatly powerful villain, while only retaining moderate injuries against the latter.
Tactical Intellect: Shinya is very intelligent and has a strategic and analytical mind. When a horde of Nomus began to appear at the Villain's Hideout, Shinya surmised that the unexpected warping was being performed by somebody else, which was proven to be correct, in the form of All For One.
===Quirk===
: Shinya's Quirk allows him to make his body and limbs extremely thin and long, effectively allowing him to transform himself into a razor-sharp string. He can transform faster than the speed of sound.
Shinya can use his Quirk to move around quickly, slip through tight spaces, and pierce targets by folding himself into sharp shapes.
When Shinya's body is stretched too thin, it gradually affects his lifespan, to the point at which it slowly starts to fade away.
