Rikido Sato

, also known as the , is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.
==Appearance==
Rikido is a tall, very muscular young man with a broad build. His brown hair is short and spiked upwards away from his head. He has relatively tiny, square-shaped eyes with small black pupils and a pair of bushy eyebrows just above. Rikido bears huge, thick lips, slightly darker than the rest of his skin, and a notably large, round nose.
Rikido's hero costume consists of a yellow full-body suit covering his body, the only exceptions being the holes around his mouth, eyes, and hair. He wears white gloves, boots, and a utility belt around his waist, storing small quantities of sugar inside its pouches.
==Personality==
Rikido is interested in sweets and baking, a valuable skill due to his Quirk.
He is surprisingly talented at making sweets conquering his classmates with his food. The fact that this overly optimistic reaction caught Rikido off guard suggests that he doesn't think much of his abilities as a confectioner. Nevertheless, every week in the dorms, Rikido bakes sweets and shares them with his classmates, which he calls "Sugar Time". To create a gourmet night, he pairs his sweets with Momo Yaoyorozu’s tea. He can cook other food, too, as shown during the Christmas party.
==Abilities==
Overall Abilities: Thanks to his Quirk, Sugar Rush, Rikido is a straightforward fighter who takes advantage of the temporarily augmented physical might granted by his power to punch his way through obstacles and enemies. During the U.S.J. Incident, thanks to Ochaco Uraraka running interference against Kurogiri, Rikido and Hanta Sero were able to successfully subdue the villain even further. His abilities eventually garnered the attention of the Lion Hero: Shishido, allowing Rikido to intern under the No. 13 Pro Hero and improve his flurry of attacks and the ability to read ahead of situations.
Gastronomic Talents: Rikido excels in baking and preparing cakes and other sweets. This talent was developed due to his Quirk needing sugar to be activated and store-bought sweets being more expensive.
===Quirk===
: Rikido's Quirk allows him to increase his strength five-fold for three minutes. To activate his Quirk, he needs to consume 10 grams of sugar. When converting sugar into strength, his cognitive functions gradually drop, making him sleepy afterward. For every additional 10 grams of sugar he ingests, he extends the time of increased strength by another three minutes.
As part of his training, Rikido engaged in weightlifting while consuming large amounts of sweets to increase the augmented physical strength his Quirk granted.
===Ultimate Moves===
*: Rikido consumes sugar to increase his power and unleashes a flurry of punches.
===Stats===
==Equipment==
Utility Belt: Rikido's Hero costume has a utility belt; presumably filled with sugar cubes and/or other sweets.
