Yuuga Aoyama

Yuuga Aoyama, also known as Shining Hero: Can't Stop Twinkling, is a character from the My Hero Academia series.
== Charactah Account ==
A vain, flamboyant and extremely eccentric young man. He mostly provides comic relief and his Quirk is very ridiculous looking, but the ability to fire laser beams still makes him pretty powerful. He also has moments showing surprising awareness.
Yuuga appears to be a vain and prideful person, thinking of himself as superior to the rest of his classmates, especially in regards to his Quirk. He exhibits extremely flamboyant mannerisms, is fond of posing and likes to grab the attention of those around him despite frequently getting ignored by his peers. His expression rarely changes from a closed smile, even while he speaks or gets hurt, and he's also prone to getting upset if interrupted or questioned. Yuuga's sentences often end with a star (☆) symbol, indicating a fancy tone. He also tends to play up his French heritage, occasionally implementing French words into his sentences.
However, this persona is shown to be mostly a facade, as Yuuga holds severe insecurities about his Quirk, and, in reality, he doesn't see himself as above anyone else. In fact, he appears to think of himself as different from everybody, due to the "defective" Quirk he was born with. Yuuga has been struggling with this since his childhood and wishes to become "normal" one day.

== Trivia ==
* Yuuga's early design was very similar to how he currently looks, aside from slightly longer, less spiky hair and different pants. His hero name was also supposed to be "Can't Stop Twinkle" instead of "Can't Stop Twinkling".
* According to Yuuga's Volume 1 profile:
** His favorite thing is himself.
** Horikoshi says he doesn't really understand this character, but he is fun to draw so that is fine by him.
* Yuuga's surname contains the kanji for "blue" (ao) and "mountain" (yama), and his first name contains "excellent, superior" (yuu) and "elegant, graceful, refined" (ga). His surname is exactly the same as Aoyama, the name of a wealthy and fashionable area of Tokyo, which is often mentioned associating with the word "elegant" (yuuga).
* Yuuga uses a rose scented fragrance to give himself a romantic tip.
* Yuuga's known U.A. academic data is as follows:
** Student No. 1 in Class 1-A.
** Ranked 14th during the Quirk Apprehension Test.
*** His 50-Meter Dash record is 5.51 seconds. His previous record was 8.25 seconds in middle school.
** Ranked 18th in Class 1-A's grades.
** Ranked in the Top 16 of the U.A. Sports Festival First-Year Stage.
* Yuuga's Japanese voice actor, Kosuke Kuwano, also voices Hiryu Rin.
* Yuuga is one of the three students attending U.A. confirmed to be a foreigner, the others being Hiryu and Pony Tsunotori.
* With his birthday taking place in late May (two days after Mashirao Ojiro's), Yuuga is the third oldest student in Class 1-A, as everyone was fifteen when they started U.A.'s school year in early April.
* Yuuga might be aware that he's just a fictional character due to his constant breaking of the fourth wall.
* Yuuga's Quirk seems to be based on Cyclops from the X-Men, who would also regularly wear red sunglasses not unlike the ones Yuuga wears as part of his hero outfit.
* Yuuga is the only member in Class 1-A to be from outside Japan.
