File:My Hero Academia Fukikage Tokoyami.png|Fumikage Tokoyami (My hero academia) With his Quirk "Dark Shadow" he has a natural symbiote in his body made of a type of dark energy that, although it is a completely independent being, always obeys all of Fumikage's orders. This symbiote called Dark Shadow becomes weaker the more light it is exposed to and becomes more powerful the darker it is, but with the consequence that it becomes more savage and uncontrollable.
