My Hero Academia features a huge cast of characters who are fleshed out in loving detail. The main story explained everyone’s Quirks and backstories, and fluff details from other sources round them out with more personal details. These characters feel much more real and likable when fans know what makes them human, from their birthdays and ages to their height and favorite foods.
Nearly every My Hero Academia character is fleshed out this way, most of all the main characters who really drive the story. Fans are eager to know everyone’s height, age, and zodiac sign, and see exactly how those details affect these characters’ behavior and personalities in the story.
10 Izuku Midoriya – Height: 5’5″, Age: 16, Zodiac Sign: Cancer
Protagonist Izuku Midoriya, also known as Deku, is the world’s last hope against an increasing tide of villainy and crime in Japan. Deku received the incredible power of One For All from All Might, and now he’s ready to use it and its built-in Quirks to save Japan – or else.
Izuku may look like an average teenager with average height and wild green hair, but he has the heart of a true Symbol of Peace who will protect and inspire everyone. This reflects in his zodiac sign, Cancer, which is all about mystical interpersonal connections, the comforts of home, and having a small circle of deeply cherished friends.
9 Ochaco Uraraka – Height: 5’1″, Age: 16, Zodiac Sign: Capricorn
Ochaco Uraraka is Deku’s lovable deredere friend and a hardworking student in class 1-A at UA. Ochaco comes from a poor background, so she is pushing herself to get stronger and become a well-paid pro hero who can financially support her parents when they need her the most.
Ochaco is a petite girl at just under 5 feet and 1 inch, but she’s much tougher than she looks. Both mentally and physically, Ochaco has the Capricorn-style grit necessary to overcome all challenges and achieve her goals. Capricorn, the sign of the sea goat, is all about stubborn persistence and a good work ethic.
8 Shoto Todoroki – Height 5’9″, Age: 16, Zodiac Sign: Capricorn
Izuku’s kuudere classmate Shoto Todoroki kept to himself at first, determined to succeed on his own and break free of his father’s grip. Then Shoto learned to embrace the power of friendship and challenged himself to start using his Quirk’s fire half, despite the emotional baggage involved.
Shoto Todoroki is one of class 1-A’s tallest boys and is often considered the most attractive, too. Shoto is a Capricorn, like Ochaco. Even if he was born with immense talent, Shoto must practice a good work ethic like Ochaco to realize his true potential.
7 Katsuki Bakugo – Height 5’7″, Age: 17, Zodiac Sign: Taurus
Deku’s childhood friend, the explosive Katsuki Bakugo, is one of class 1-A’s most powerful but also most problematic students. He has a temper to match his fierce Quirk, but in more recent story arcs, Bakugo finally made peace with Deku and accepted his role as a supporting hero, not the star.
Bakugo is class 1-A’s oldest student, and at this point in the My Hero Academia manga, he is already 17 years old. Oddly, he was born one day too late for the headstrong Aries zodiac sign, instead being born under Taurus, an earth sign centered on earthly comforts.
6 Tomura Shigaraki – Height: 5’9″, Age: 21, Zodiac Sign: Aries
The supervillain Tomura Shigaraki is Deku’s villainous counterpart, a young man with big dreams about the future. Like Deku, Tomura owes everything to his powerful mentor, and he wields multiple Quirks to defeat his enemies and bring about the future he has envisioned.
Tomura Shigaraki is a college-age character, being 21 as of the most recent MHA manga chapters, and has average height for young men his age. He was born under the fire sign Aries, a bold and decisive sign that likes to take charge and expects a lot from its teammates.
5 All Might – Height 7’3″, Age: 40s-50s, Zodiac Sign: Gemini
The incredible Symbol of Peace, All Might, has since retired as the world’s #1 pro hero. For decades, All Might kept hero society safe with his extreme strength and inspiring charisma, and now he is Deku’s most loyal supporter as the final battle against Tomura Shigaraki looms.
All Might is a tall character at 7 feet 3 inches in his muscle form, and MHA fans have worked backward to determine he’s somewhere between his mid-40s and early 50s. All Might was born under the air sign Gemini, loosely embodying that sign’s whimsical, free-spirited ways by always rushing from one crime scene to another without hesitation.
4 Endeavor – Height: 6’5″, Age: 46, Zodiac Sign: Leo
All Might’s most stubborn rival, the flaming hero Endeavor, longed to become #1 someday. He even had a Quirk marriage to conceive an ultra-talented child who could achieve his goal, demonstrating what a self-centered and egotistical hero he was. Recently, however, Endeavor made a sincere effort to atone for all this.
Endeavor is a huge man, towering over most pro heroes at almost six and a half feet, and he’s one of the older heroes, too. His birthday is August 8th, meaning he was born under the prideful and attention-seeking fire sign Leo, which suits his personality perfectly.
3 Momo Yaoyorozu – Height: 5’8″, Age: 16, Zodiac Sign: Libra
Momo Yaoyorozu is class 1-A’s smartest student by a comfortable margin, which is perfect for her remarkable Creation Quirk. Momo can replicate physical objects with her Quirk, including electronic devices, and she also has strong aptitude as a tactically gifted leader.
Momo is class 1-A’s tallest girl at 5 feet 8 inches, and she has a stable personality as a Libra. The air sign Libra is all about balance and fair justice, which is why a set of scales represents it rather than an animal. Momo is indeed a fair-minded person and stabilizing element in class 1-A as a smart, mature girl who wants what’s best for everyone.
2 Shota Aizawa – Height: 6’0″, Age: 31, Zodiac Sign: Scorpio
Deku’s tsundere homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa, is almost like My Hero Academia‘s own Batman. Going by the hero name Eraserhead, this character dresses in black, stalks the streets, and uses his wits and clever tools to capture villains before they even know what’s happening.
Shota Aizawa is slightly taller than average at exactly six feet in height, though physically, he is unremarkable. Instead, the hero Eraserhead shines with his unique Erasure Quirk and tricky fighting style, befitting his zodiac sign. Scorpio is a water sign whose members are cunning, calculating, and strike at the right moment, like a scorpion’s sting.
1 Himiko Toga – Height 5’2″, Age: 17, Zodiac Sign: Leo
Himiko Toga is a yandere villain who was fixated on Stain at first, then shifted her obsessive ways onto Deku and Ochaco instead. Himiko is a highly acrobatic villain who uses knives and her Transform Quirk to outmaneuver the heroes, and she is also a high-ranking officer of the Paranormal Liberation Front.
According to fluff lore,Himiko Toga is petite at 5 feet 2 inches, and she’s slightly older than class 1-A’s students. She was born under the fire sign Leo like Endeavor but expresses it differently. Instead of being egotistical, Himiko is a playful, twisted extrovert who likes making friends and cheering them up. Leos are all about being the center of attention, and they like having many friends.
