Yamakawa

**Yamakawa VI** (*山川, Yamakawa*) is the pro hero of a large family of fashion designers and pro heroes residing in Esuha City, Japan. As the only son of the Kagesada Family he is expected to represent them, but because he wants to be free from this expectation, he quits the school he loved and moves to the city, where he can become what he always wanted to be, an innocent protector and a romantic adventurer. During his free time from school he is a field agent that is part of Tempest Team, following the leadership of Hunter Rowe who want to surpass All Might.

## Appearance

As a child, Yamakawa grew up in a fashion-oriented family; fashion and art have become natural to him; his odd taste in feminine clothing over traditional male clothing worn by male relatives in the family, which consisted of a navy blue haori half-coat, deep blue shirt, grey-blue pants, and Sperry shoes. Yamakawa wore a beautiful black and pink summer butterfly dress, a black choker, pink doll shoes, and a rose quartz gem around his neck, much to the disapproval of his parents and grandparents. At Salty Banks Middle School, he wore a black lace-up heel sandal and a criss-crossed tee with a black skirt, which complimented his entire wardrobe, which resulted in teachers recommending him to several modeling agencies for his ability to look both like a girl and like a boy because of his petite frame. Throughout the following three years, he took part in several modeling gigs, which provided him with scholarships for schools that wanted to see his talent as a model and as a hero in the future, his brother's pride in him for being who he is, his cousin's support for who he is, they gifted him with a sewing set as encouragement to create clothes people would love, this gift from the few that loved him for him inspired the young lad to craft many exquisite dresses while wearing some through his middle school years (some getting destroyed and vandalized by bullies for his love to cross-dress).

The style he graduated in is one many would recognize such as; suspender mini skirt with small stars and a grunge crop top with strings forming a pentagram star connecting the string-strap and hem of the collar leaving much of his stomach exposed, along with black boots with three belts tied to his left leg. His teachers demanded and expected him to wear more appropriate clothes, but he wore his favorites for nearly a year before moving to a new city and attending Shiketsu High School. When he learned everyone wore the school's collared shirt and dark pants, he realized his biggest regret and found a loophole to keep his style that mixed with the school's, He is wearing a Lanhui Long Sleeve Lace Splice Coat over his white collared shirt, leaving several buttons undone revealing his black bralette underneath the dark skirt with his dark vintage heel boots, and with his long blonde hair tied into a ponytail while he keeps the belts wrapped around his left leg.

## Personality

Yamakawa grew up in a boisterous, zestful household that was also full of expectations and pride, making it difficult for him to fit in let alone be himself, even with his parents who themselves were supporters of the animated way of life. While his family watched him, he was a quiet young boy who enjoyed reading magazines for brands that he had never heard of that are outside the traditional fashion of his family; HellcatPunk, Dr. Martens, Demonia, and Vivienne Westwood. He wanted to express himself through fashion, therefore, he started cross-dressing. In addition to his quiet personality, he is extremely crafty and sneaky, able to get around his home undetected, but he is also cheerful and physically interacts with people who want to get to know him better, getting to know his childhood friend Tsuyu Asui, who he met during his time in Salty Banks Middle School and has shown to be nerdy, slightly eccentric, and bubbly with a friendly aura who loves to talk about fashion. Yamakawa and Tsuyu remained in contact through the years as they developed more of themselves and became more passionate about their dreams, which included becoming pro heroes, a very common dream to which many people aspire. During his teenage years, Yamakawa was inspired and motivated by Ninja Hero: Edgeshot, who is also his long-term crush. Wishing to become a hero like him motivated Yamakawa to first pursue a fashion/modeling career, then a hero career during his high school years. by the time he was modeling across Japan he grew bolder with his designs, expanding his self-taught fashion design through loops and bigger challenges earning him more attention than he liked but occasionally took up makeup design. While his cousins and brother loved him for being himself, the bolder and more defined his craft became, the more Yamakawa grew as a person. This attitude allowed him to express himself as the charming, free-spirited, and eccentric person with a passion for fashion, friendship, and a fondness for cliché romance.

Being inspired by Edgeshot, Yamakawa trained himself to become self reliant and independent in his own skills and talents which he doesn't like sharing unless they ask him but tend to show off his skills to pro heroes when he encounters one which tend to make people think he's a fanboy, he won't deny that fact about himself, he'll gush and act out like an idiot but will do his best to behave but can't guarantee his fanboy persona will stay quiet. Awhile back when he read magazines of clothing back in Esuha City he also came across an article of martial arts he grew to like although he knew about his family's traditional fighting style, having more of a open mind for other fighting styles and more pragmatic ways to end fights than just his family's even in his lessons.
