Kane Asato

**Kane Asato** (あ (あさと) 宗太 (あさと) 菅 (ケイン)  *Asato Kane*), also known as **Doctor Clock** (ドク (医師) クロコ (時計)  *Clock Doctor*), is the recurring deuteragonist of the *My Future Academia:*  manga and anime series.

## Personality

Kane 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. Kane's sentences often end with a slow hiss, indicating a sassy tone. He also tends to play up his Japanese heritage, occasionally implementing Japanese words into his sentences.

However, this persona is shown to be mostly a facade, as Kane 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. Kane has been struggling with this since his childhood and wishes to become "normal" one day.

Though he has a desire to have friends, Kane rarely has the confidence to act upon it due to his insecurities alack of social skills; he can unintentionally come off as "creepy" to others when he genuinely means well. Instead, he opts to self-isolate, seen through his eating of school meals alone rather than with the members of his class and general avoidance of most social situations. Despite this, he's been shown to be rather observant, able to pick up on Genki's crush on Haru and Kenji before he even realized it herself.

Kane does possess a compassionate side and is shown to sympathize with Genki Ito, due to the both of them having what he perceives as highly self-harmful and uncontrollable Quirks, although the way in which he displays this sympathy initially startled Genki . Genki has stated that he’s never been able to read Kane due to his unpredictable nature, although he still ended up befriending him. He is also kindhearted, as shown in the Provisional License Exam when he was willing to throw away his chance at a license to give the chance at passing.

Kane is also easily frightened by danger and prefers to hide rather than fight, though he can still help out a friend as long as he remains safe and isn't above sacrificing himself, highly contrasting his usual self-centered attitude.

## Abilities

### Quirk

**Chronopathy**: Asato's Quirk is essentially a combination of his mother and father's Quirk, allowing his to manipulate space and time. Using his Quirk, Asato is able to stop time. Simultaneously, Asato is surrounded by a temporal bubble, shielding his from the slowed down time while also protecting his from any harm until time continues as per usual. The bubble around him also covers his equipment, allowing it to move at his speed until it leaves his person. She is even capable of moving bullets and other generally fast or heavy objects as if they're just small particles in the air. Anyone that can pick up on his movements will generally only see a blur, with only other temporal Quirks being able to actually match his movements. However, Asato can only activate his Quirk for, to his, five seconds at a time, before needing to recharge his Quirk for at least another five, assuming he uses the maximum amount of time in one instance. This means that he must make the best of his time before his opposition can attack his, while also needing to carefully choose when he activates his Quirk. Also, temperature is still in effect while Asato's Quirk is active, meaning that he can't attack something shrouded in heat or when he's wet or cold, such as if Kenji Takahashi were to use his Quirk against his.
