Hayate Hoshina

"*Here's the difference between a thug and a martial artist. It's that one goes in without any plan while the other chooses to fight in style.*"
—Hayate Hoshina

**Hayate Hoshina** (保科 颯. *Hoshina Hayate*) is a student of Class 1-E located in Kunugigaoka Junior High School, and while is a favorite of Yoshinaka Watanabe, there is a bit of an open secret that the one who teaches the entirety of Class E is a being named Korosensei, the same being that destroyed the moon. A hardworking and martial person by heart, Hayate is the successor of a long line of judo instructors, teaching new students in the art of immobilizing their opponents. Caught in the act of being in his family dojo, Hayate would be sent to Class 1-E for violating school rules. Already well known for his more unpredictable personality and despite being a hard worker, he still ended up in the ranks of Class E.

## Appearance

In his physical appearance, he has short hair that have the color of light brown, and eyes that have the color brown. In addition, he appears to be physically fit, likely due to his time in the dojo, thus his physical body has been shown to an increase in muscle. Other than that, he seems to be be standard in terms of weight and height.

In the terms of clothing, whenever Hayate is seen in a dojo, Hayate's wearing a white dojo uniform. In other times, he can be seen wearing a school uniform that is blue for the shirt, and black for the pants. Other than that, he wears the typical Kunugigaoka Junior High School uniform.

## Personality

Often seen in the dojo, Hayate is known for being a hardworking student, shown to be training hard in order to strengthen himself when he has to deal with threats involving harm. When Hayate is involved with said threats, it appears as though he is battle-hardened, being able to take down about ten of his foes in a minute.

Other than being a hardworking student (which makes him a model student for Class E), Hayate Hoshina is often a gluttonous person, though that can be justified given that he's in a dojo in which he is engaged with a very tough master of a man. That gluttonous additude can be a pain at the start, but when he starts to exercise, then that amount of calories gained would earn him more energy.

## History

Born to a judo family, at first Hayate Hoshina would look as through he is gifted when it comes to his martial prowess, and certainly, Hayate would be the next in line to inherit the family dojo. And while it does look that way, things would change when Hayate happened to meet Kentarō Ishizaka, and soon, the both of them would start to be best friends with each other.

**Fast Eater:** Because of how his training at the dojo requires him to have more energy, this meant that Hayate Hoshina is placed as the "number one eater" who can eat a lot of food very fast.
