Shinjiro Hohoemi

, also known as the villain , is the main antagonist in the OVA Laugh! As If You Are in Hell.
==Appearance==
Shinjiro is a lean, yet bulky, man with long blond hair tied in a ponytail with light green tips at the end of it. He has big blue eyes and a wide mouth, often sporting a grin, as well as disproportionately large forearms and big round hands, though his fingers are normal.
He wears a pink long sleeve v-neck shirt with white frills at the neck and at the ends of the sleeves, along with burgundy pants with a gray cutaway at the midsection and yellow buttons, as well as a belt with a yellow buckle. He wears a black mask over the top half of his face and on his head is a red cowboy hat with two large paintbrushes with blue and magenta bristles, respectively.
==Personality==
Shinjiro is a passionate artist who aspires to share his work with others, though after failing to get into an art school and receive the recognition he desired, he eventually resorted to vandalism and villainy: graffitiing walls to portray his artwork. He is not malicious, only using his Quirk to deter anyone who tries to stop him, such as the Police Force and Pro Heroes, before making a getaway.
He is recognised by Izuku Midoriya as a person who has faced rejection and is chasing after his dream however he can, even if it landed him on the wrong path. When confronted by Izuku, who reached out and empathised with him, Shinjiro understood his mistakes, believing that he was trying to prove his critics wrong but realizing that he was truly just running away from his problems.
While he has no desire to be a Hero and admits that he isn't one for fighting, Shinjiro also proves to be very brave. When a group of dangerous villains proceeded to rob the commercial building he was in, endangering innocent lives and also shooting up his artwork, Shinjiro stepped in and used his Quirk to help stop them. He is also repentant after seeing his flaws, willing to surrender himself so he could atone for his misdeeds and then continue pursuing art the right way.
