Denki Kaminari

Denki Kaminari, also known as Stun Gun Hero: Chargebolt, is a character from the My Hero Academia series.
== Charactah Account ==
A somewhat dim-witted young boy who often tries to show off and look cool in front of the girls. His Quirk, "Electrification", allows him to discharge electricity from his body. While this is extremely powerful, there is a limit to how much electricity he can release at once; going over this limit short-circuits his own brain, temporarily turning him into a giggling idiot.
Denki is somewhat flirtatious towards the girls of his class (and even the ones from other classes), trying to pass himself off as a smooth talker. He is not very lucky with his approaches though, frequently getting ignored or outright rejected by everyone, although he does seem to have a steady friendship with Mina Ashido and, occasionally, Kyoka Jiro. He is also slightly mischievous, joining in pranks occasionally. Overall, it appears that Denki has an interest in looking cool in front of others, but has a shallow understanding of how to do so.

== Trivia ==
* In the preliminary stages of the series, Denki's design was radically different from his current one. He looked far more villainous, with longer, spikier hair. Also, he was not yet known as Denki Kaminari, but rather as a random electricity Quirk user.
** This original design also shares a lot of similarities with Present Mic, who was also conceived as a completely different character from what he is currently.
* According to Denki's Volume 3 profile:
** His favorite food is hamburgers.
** His favorite things are anything that's currently trending.
** His role is to tie Class 1-A together with his personality, just like Eijiro.
** Horikoshi thinks he's fun to draw but has trouble drawing his hair with consistency.
* Denki's known U.A. data is as follows:
** Student No. 7 in Class 1-A.
** Ranked 16th during Shota Aizawa's Quirk Apprehension Test.
** Ranked 20th in Class 1-A's grades.
** Ranked in the Top 16 of the U.A. Sports Festival First-Year Stage.
*** Denki received a total of 272 nominations from Pro Heroes for his U.A. Sports Festival performance, making him the fifth most nominated Class 1-A student.
* Denki's rankings in the Popularity Polls are as follows:
** In the First Popularity Poll, Denki ranked 10th.
** In the Second Popularity Poll, Denki ranked 11th.
** In the Third Popularity Poll, Denki ranked 8th.
** In the Fourth Popularity Poll, Denki ranked 16th.
** In the Fifth Popularity Poll, Denki ranked 14th.
* Denki's surname contains the kanji for "above, hair" (kami), "sound, to ring" (nari), and his first name contains "electricity" (den) and "spirit" (ki).
** When written as one word, the kanji in Denki's first name translates to "electrical, electricity" (denki).
** Denki's surname is pronounced the same way as the Japanese word for "thunder" (kaminari).
* The black, lightning-shaped streak on Denki's hair is apparently natural.
* Denki and Kyouka share the same costume designer.
