Profile

Hot-blooded and 'masculine' is his motto.
Eijirou Kirishima is a student at U.A., in class 1-A. He came 2nd in the entrance exam. He believes respect is extremely important and isn't afraid of showing his interests. Although he dislikes being seen as weak, he doesn't hesitate to point out areas where he must improve to become a better hero. He doesn't do the best in studies, landing 15th in a class of 20. He's often seen being tutored by Bakugou to boost his grades. He receives a major arc in chapters 142-146, which is animated in season 4.
He's extremely close with Bakugou Katsuki, and they're shown together frequently.
He struggles with an extreme inferiority complex but pretends to be optimistic to hide his troubles. In chapter 144 of the manga, we learn about the person he truly is, and how much he despises himself.
