**Akira Agakuro** (赤黒(あかぐろ)明(あきら), *Akira Akaguro*?) is a student in class 1-A of UA High school. He got in through the entrance exams and was surprisingly placed 6th place. He is the second child of the 7th best hero:Yashido Takami and the middle child of his family.

## Appearance

Akira is a relatively short, muscular young man and quite well built for someone his age. Akira's hair falls just above his eyebrows and is styled in an undercut hairdo. His hair is a really dark gray that some people mistake for black, but in blinding lights you can make out it's color. Akira wears a white bandage over his eyes, although it seems impossible for him to see through it he can defiantly do so due to the thinness of the cloth, sometimes however Akira wears a black blindfold over his eyes. Both of his eyes are shielded from the viewer's perspective but have been confirmed to be in fact very unordinary;The Left side holds a completely black sclera and up close you can make out dark veins coming from the eye. The Right side holds an ordinary eye with a gold pupil that looks majorly similar to Hawks's.

Even with his short height and bandage covering his eyes many girls throughout the school find him very attractive. Even Shoto Todoroki admits in the 20th chapter that Akira is indeed good looking.

For Akira's school attire he wears the normal UA school uniform along with black slacks and polished gray dress shoes.

Akira's hero costume consists of a black long sleeved top with a side cape running down his right side and a chain securing it across his neck. Black pants with silver thigh pads that have a white outline design and lacy front. And finally black and white duo lace up sneakers.

## Personality

Akira is an arrogant, aloof young man who appears to his classmates as a cold and heartless kind of guy. His personality arose from his childhood trauma and sociopathic before-life. After the Sports festival arc, subsequently you see the slight change in Akira's personality; Him joining in little snippets of conversation between his peers, small interjections and interactions between him and classmates and even going as far as to sit with Izuku Midoriya and his friends during lunch hours.

Out of all the people in the school the most frequent people he talks to are Hitoshi Shinso and Shouto Todoroki. However his relationship with Shouto is much more deep than the one he has with Hitoshi. It is also later on revealed that Akira has developed a school boy crush on Shouto. He appears to be somewhat flustered when talking to Shouto, stuttering sometimes when initiating conversations with the other boy and even going as far as calling him 'cute'.

Despite his cold behavior however, he seems to find a way to fit in with his classmates. Although if anyone brings up the subject about his parents or past, His mood seems to change majorly. The only person he's ever told about his traumatic past is Shouto Todoroki.

Akira is known for his last name's bloodline as to be connected to the Hero Killer: Stain's.
In the Camping arc, Akira reveals to Shouto Todoroki that he indeed does think that Stain's ideology is somewhat useful to an extent. He believes that heroes not worthy of their title should be stripped from their job but when Shouto asks if he would go as far as kill them Akira doesn't respond. Many people do think that by having this connection to the villain that he is destined to become one. Getting into UA is one of the many things that Akira did in protest of those people. Due to this uproar, Akira's father decides to tell the media and press that Akira is adopted since he doesn't look a thing like his siblings. It also boosts his ego and pride of being in the top 7 heroes of Japan; making people think he is a great man for adopting someone like Akira. This action adds on to the distaste Akira has for his father.

Akira is relatively secretive and gives little to no information when asked something about him. He gives straight forward answers and never goes into detail unless necessary. He is also seen in the early anime following some students home in the background and relatively spying on students. Though, no one seemed to know what was going on. It was confirmed in the Liberation Arc that Akira is the traitor of UA and all that spying he was doing is to get information for the league, reason being that he 'owes' the league a favor for taking him in when he was at his faults and accepting him for who he is instead of cowering away in fear like his father and friends.

Akira's family history is a whole jumbled mess. A huge incident involving him and his quirk resolves into his mother's death. Although his siblings encourage him to stand up for himself when talked down on because of his ability, Akira most of the time doesn't seem to care about other people's opinion. Stating simply that he didn't interact with the 'underclassmen' of the society. The only parent left in Akira's life is his father Yashido Takami and by the words he uses to describe his father he likes him as much as the people he calls underclassmen.

## Past

When Akira was born he had mild eating disorders; not eating anything for at least a day and barley surviving. Although the doctors and paramedics dismissed it as something minor Akira's mother couldn't help but feel the situation wasn't alright.

At the age of 7 his disorders started getting severe. He wouldn't eat anything for three to four days other than water. His parents were majorly concerned for his well being and ringed up a doctor again, this time however that doctor said that this was the doing of his quirk slowly acting up and that Akira would probably manifest his quirk pretty soon.

Three days later a huge incident known under the government and police as the 'child eater' incident that took place in Akira's home late at night. Akira, merely a small child was by himself with his mother downstairs in their living room. His father out due to hero work, his sister asleep and his brother in training at the hero commission.

     Akira and his mother appeared to be making paper cranes to sooth Akira's nerves from a fight he had with his older sibling. The air was comforting and the aura was calm, however it wasn't long until Akira suddenly stopped working on the origami and started to scream in pain. His mother, not knowing what was going on walked over to her son in worry, only for it to end in a gruesome death. Akira's quirk had now manifested and he lunged himself at his mother, devouring her flesh  while black fog-like limbs ripped from his back, arms with hands to be exact. He stopped midway though and gasped, falling backwards and screaming in agony as if this was hurting him. He looked down at his hands which appeared to be splattered with blood. He tried calling for help from anyone in the building but no one came.

Akira's father came home and saw what happened. In the flashbacks of the anime however we don't really see much as it is covered in thick fog and the whole memory seems to be blurry to Akira like he couldn't really remember much.

After the incident. Eloise Akaguro was pronounced dead by blood-loss and Akira was the one to blame. However this disturbing case was resolved within a millisecond by his father paying the police to keep this to themselves.

    When Akira was in middle school, he was bullied for being quiet and his lack of intelligence. During this time one of Akira's eyes started turning black because of the ooze that suddenly started flowing through his veins which is due to Akira consuming flesh of someone within the same genetic as him. He wore a bandage over that eye which raised curiosity from his classmates. Eventually, one classmate found out about his situation and everyone avoided him like the plague. He was dubbed a villain, cannibal and criminal.

This resulted into Akira falling into something akin to depression, around this time too he was diagnosed with APD and was a confirmed sociopath. Also, Akira's quirk started to upgrade and it's consequences getting more severe than before. Akira's quirk got so out of hand that just by mere direct eye contact with human skin he would go crazy, even if he already ate a full meal.

Akira found out though that surprisingly when looking through any thin cloth or substance like water he can disable this growing hunger and look at someone's arm or body without lashing out on them. Due to this, Akira's father bought him a bandage to put over his eyes but Akira found it somewhat uncomfortable and switched to a thin cloth blindfold.

He usually alternates between the two eyepieces. He can't use contacts because of his inked eye and he can't use glasses out of fear that they will wall off or break and his eyes would be exposed so he went with a black silk cloth that laps around his eyes twice. After the cloth was placed on his eyes his quirk calmed down and he started to clear out the sociopathic tenancies he had, however since his quirk upgraded he needed to eat human flesh at least twice a day in order to survive and protect himself from lashing out again, even with the blindfold on. He can still process and eat normal foods but he needs to consume the flesh in order for him to survive. Due to this, Akira's father fed the teenager flesh from dead people who were long forgotten and didn't have any loved ones around to care for their death.

## Family

Akira Akaguro is the middle child of Eloise Akaguro and Yashido Takami. Akira has 2 siblings who he gets along quite well with, especially Ayami Takami the youngest child and Akira's little sister. Akira's older brother Sozoshi Takami works at the hero commission as a student in training to become a hero. Sozoshi is rarely home due to the amount of training so the only person Akira can really interact with and vent to is Ayami.

Akira's mother, Eloise is the sister of Chizome Akaguro or more famously known as The Hero killer: Stain. Eloise's bloodline consists of many vicious villains and criminals but somehow she was able to pick herself up and break that cycle, becoming an underground hero. Akira's father however is the brother of one of Japan's top 3 hero's: Hawks. Akira's father himself is a Hero, a very successful one that is. Yashido Takami has dissimilar traits from his brother, it was shown that Hawks is a lighthearted and cheerful young man. However, Yashido appears cold and stuck up.

Akira's quirk is a mixture of his father's and mother's quirk. Though there was some kind of genetic fault in his mother's quirk that gave him the quirk he has. Eloise's quirk is called Cut; A quirk in which when self harm is inflicted on the body they are able to produce thick, mist-like gas that could immobilize their opponent for however long depending on their blood type: A, AB and B immobilizes them for a solid 15-20 minutes while O only does for 5. Yashido's quirk is that he can sprout tentacle-like limbs from his back that he can control with something akin to telekinesis, great for using in combat.

*Akira's family tree.*

## Quirk

Akira's quirk (known to all as Mist Limbs) Is a sort of mutation like quirk that allows him to sprout mist-like limbs from any part of his body, he can also alter the shape and size of the limb to his liking. This however comes with a huge drawback of devouring flesh in order to produce those limbs as fuel and building blocks. The reason he can't eat animal flesh is due to animal's not having the quirk genetic in their system, that said if he eats a quirkless person he wouldn't gain anything out of it. Depending on the blood type of the person/flesh he consumes, his strength varies. A, AB and B give him minimum strength and O gives him maximum.

     The impact of these limbs are about 5x stronger than the strength of an enhanced punch. He can also control their movements and can surprisingly sense people's approaches even with his eyes closed. But only when his quirk is activated. At the beginning, in the USJ attack. Akira didn't really use his quirk too much other than produce small tentacle-like stakes that emerge from his back. However in the sports festival he is seen to have pushed himself over his limits and produced a hand coming from each of the 5 tentacle tips-which are larger than his usual limbs (around 15'9). The amount of fatigue he feels after using his quirk when surpassing his limits is vital. He can't move for a day or even 2 days due to how exhausted his body is from using the quirk too long.

The danger of this quirk is that is seems to have a mind of it's own; controlling Akira's urges to cannibalize and hurt people. The blindfold is a huge help in controlling the quirk so that it doesn't get out of hand. Whenever Akira is at home he rarely takes off his blindfold, but when he does it's okay for him to do so due to his body and quirk not wanting to eat someone of the same genetic because of the harm it caused to his eye and health.

In the Liberation war arc, Akira is seen next to Dabi without his blindfold on. Apparently it was ripped during combat and at that moment it did Akira's quirk completely took over him. Controlling his body like a puppet and changing Akira's personality. When Dabi asks Akira what happened Akira responds with "My name is not Akira" Indicating that his quirk has completely wiped all of his memory for that period of time and replaced it with a desire to kill. Though it appears that Akira doesn't attack Dabi, meaning that Akira and his quirk had approved of the bond between the two and his quirk considered Dabi as family.

## History

**The League of Villains**: Akira was running home one day in the rain but then got lost and so caught up he didn't know what to do. However, Kurogiri found him in one of the alleyways sitting and sulking in the corner, the mist man took him in and started asking questions about the young man's past. Surprisingly Akira opened up somewhat to the mist-man and started warming up to him. Once Kurogiri knew the majority of his past, Kurogiri introduced Akira to the rest of the members. Shigaraki wasn't pleased at first but nevertheless, he accepted Akira when he told everyone his whole back story. Due to them taking him in and not treating him like others did when they found out about his past, he told Shigaraki that he owed him a favor. That favor then was asked by Shigaraki for Akira to spy on the students at UA and gather information.

**UA High**: The first high school that Akira applied to and his dream school for a long time. If he didn't get in then his father would put him in commission with his brother. Luckily he aced the exams and got a spot in the A class.

**Paranormal Liberation front**: After the incident regarding the favor he owed Shigaraki, Akira warmed up to the rest of the league and didn't really care if he was associating himself with villains. However once Shigaraki took over the Liberation army, he gave Akira the position in the Violet Regiment with Dabi and Geten
