Koji Koda/Synopsis

History
Since childhood, Koji Koda has been a shy person, and always loved animals, due to his Anivoice Quirk he inherited from his mother. At one point, his mother told him that one day, he would get horns that would allow his Quirk to reach more animals from even further away. She also suggested that he follow in his father's footsteps by becoming a man who stands up for those he cares about and gets angry when someone laughs at them, as she had faced persecution due to being a heteromorph.

In spite of his nature, Koji manages to get accepted to U.A. High School, to the great joy of his mother, who congratulates him.

However, before the lesson begins, a black portal opens up and dozens of villains come through it. Shota orders Thirteen to evacuate Class 1-A and try alerting the rest of the school while he runs to deal with the villains. However, Kurogiri appears and uses his Quirk to teleport most of the Class 1-A students to different areas of the USJ. Koji is teleported along with Fumikage to the Downpour Zone, where a group of Villains are waiting to ambush them.

Due to the situation, Fumikage explains to Koji the weaknesses of his quirk. Since that moment, the two face the villains until Present Mic comes to their aid, defeating all of them.

Vs. Hero Killer Arc
Two days after the Sports Festival, Koji is seen in class. During the Hero Informatics period, during which the students have to decide on potential Hero names, Koji writes down and shows his Hero name: "Petting Hero Anima".

After Class 1-A is finished formulating their Hero names, Koji is given a list of 40 work places in order to choose a work place that he wants to train at. On the day of the work place training, Koji is at the train station with his class so that he can travel to the work place of his choice by train.

Final Exams Arc
Koji is paired with Kyoka and they must face Present Mic within 30 minutes in order to win and pass the test. The test begins.

Present Mic uses his Voice Quirk to keep Kyoka and Koji off guard. Annoyed by Present Mic's loud voice, Kyoka tells Koji to command the nearby animals to attack, but Koji is unable to due to Present Mic's voice being too loud, in addition to it likely having already scared off the wildlife.

Kyoka and Koji manage to get a little closer to the escape gate, but Kyoka notes that Present Mic will be at the escape gate and that no matter what option of victory they choose, a standoff is inevitable. Present Mic uses his loud voice again; Kyoka notes that they cannot get any closer as long as Present Mic is using his Quirk. Kyoka sees an ant and comes up with an idea; she asks Koji if he can control bugs, but his terrified reaction indicates that he is afraid of bugs. Present Mic uses his loud voice once again; Kyoka tries to counteract with her Earphone Jack, but the sound of her heartbeat doesn't do anything against Present Mic.

Present Mic continues using his loud voice against Kyoka and Koji, who are unable to handle it. Out of options, Kyoka asks Koji if he can control insects, which he confirms. Kyoka uses her Earphone Jacks to break a rock, which reveals dozens of insects, much to Koji's terror. Kyoka tells Koji that she understands his phobia, but using the insects to attack Present Mic is the only plan she can think of because their opponent is too strong. Kyoka encourages Koji to follow through with her plan.

After seeing Kyoka's bleeding ears, Koji is ashamed that he is running away from this fight and realizes that he can only continue being at U.A. by overcoming his fear. Koji musters up his courage and though trembling with fear, he uses his Anima Quirk and commands the insects to attack Present Mic while Kyoka is annoyed since he picked that moment to talk. At the escape gate, Present Mic sees that time is nearly up. Suddenly, dozens of crawling insects emerge from the ground near his left leg and he realizes that the insects traveled to him by moving underground, where sound is ineffective. Present Mic is paralyzed in fear when the insects swarm onto his leg and cause him to faint in horror, allowing Koji to run through the escape gate while carrying an injured Kyoka in his arms.

Back in class,, Koji learns that he passed the written test and will go with his classmates to the forest lodge, which is a boot camp. Koji, along with his class, goes to Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall to buy necessities for the forest lodge.

The first semester comes to a close and summer break has begun. On the day of the event, Class 1-A boards a bus that will take them to the forest lodge destination.

An hour later, Class 1-A’s bus stops for a restroom break. There, they meet Pixie-Bob and Mandalay, two members of the Wild, Wild Pussycats, who challenge the students to reach base camp past the forest in three hours. Then, the students are forcibly thrown into the Beast's Forest by Pixie-Bob's Quirk. Minoru goes into the forest to find a place to piss, when suddenly, he is confronted by a beast. Koji tries using his Quirk to control the beast, but it does not work due to the beast being made out of dirt. Izuku, Shoto, Tenya, and Katsuki mobilize and use their Quirks to destroy the clay beast.

The forest soon fills with more clay monsters, and students use their quirk to destroy them. Koji commands birds to distract the beasts so that they can be destroyed by his classmates. After several hours, Class 1-A manages to cross the forest and arrives at the base camp exhausted and battered, where they can finally rest and eat.

The next day at 5:30 AM, Class 1-A are seen outside the training camp cabin. Shota greets his students and tells them that they will undergo reinforcement training to strengthen and upgrade their Quirks. In order to increase the reach of his Anivoice, Koji is doing vocal exercises to build up his vocal cords. It’s also good for helping him become less shy.

After another day of intense training, Koji prepares to participate in a courage test organized by the Pussycats. However, the Vanguard Action Squad of the League of Villains invades that night, attacking the students and teachers. Koji and his classmates take refuge in the main building, where they are protected by Vlad King, until the villains leave after having fulfilled their goal of kidnapping Katsuki.

When Class 1-A arrives at their dorm, Shota scolds them for disobeying the rules and allowing five students to rescue Bakugo. He then says that he would have expelled everyone but Katsuki, Toru and Kyoka (due to them being captured and hospitalized, respectively) from the school, if it weren't for All Might's sudden retirement and asks them to stick to the rules from now on.

Afterwards, the class moves in and decorates their room, then Mina suggests that they make a room showcasing competition. As they enter Koji's room, Mina and Ochaco start to fawn over his pet bunny and play with it. The next day, Shota announces that Class 1-A will be working on developing their own special moves, much to the class' excitement.

The class visits the Gym Gamma, where Cementoss creates a training ground for the class with Ectoplasm using his Quirk to create villains for the class to practice their moves on. In preparation for the Provisional Hero License Exam, Koji decides to upgrade his hero costume, adding new elements, such as a mask that covers his entire face, with holes above over his mouth so his voice still can be heard when he's using his Quirk.

On the day the Hero Qualification Exam starts, Class 1-A arrives at the test location, along with several other classes from other hero schools. Shortly after the exam starts, the first part of the exam involves thinning out the amount of people who can succeed by playing a game, where people put three marks on their body and are given six balls to throw at the other examinee's marks. Those whose marks have been hit are disqualified.

As the exam starts, the students of the other schools focus entirely on U.A. Thanks to their training and costume upgrades, Class 1-A manages to avoid being hit by the balls. Yo Shindo tells his fellow classmates that he will shatter their solid defense, and uses his Vibrate Quirk on the ground, unleashing a powerful earthquake that completely shatters the ground and and causing members of class 1-A to disperse.

After Class 1-A gets scattered after the customary crushing of U.A., Koji has to manage to not be eliminated by participants from the other schools.

At Heights Alliance, Class 1-A along with Koji finally decide to accept Mina's idea of carrying out a dance performance for the U.A. School Festival. Then Minoru reminds them all that dancing requires music, so the whole class looks at Kyoka. She believes that his music is nothing special and not very heroic-like, but Koji, along with Denki, encourages her to lead the band and play in the festival, saying that music can help put smiles on people's faces.

Class 1-A students are divided into three groups, Band team, Dance team and Staging team. Koji is part of the staging team with Shoto, Eijiro and Hanta. During the following weeks, the various teams practice their respective functions. On the appointed day, the Class 1-A performance ends up being a huge success.

Hitoshi Shinso from Class 1-C is added to Class 1-A's team.

When the match starts, Koji uses his Quirk to send pigeons to explore and find the B team members. The pigeons return to inform him that Ibara is alone, probing over wide range with her Vines Quirk. Class A heads towards her position, but they are ambushed by Jurota, who smashes both Eijiro and Tsuyu through nearby pipes. He reveals that his team knew Koji would find them with his Quirk and used Ibara as bait. Kosei Tsuburaba follows up by trapping Koji inside an Air Prison.

A confrontation between both teams takes place, and Tsuyu captures Kosei with her tongue, taking him back to the jail to eliminate him from the match, being persecuted by Jurota. Koji and Eijiro block his path.

Jurota retreats, carrying Koji while muffling his ability to speak, and the two Class 1-A students are put in their jail, eliminating them from the match.

Despite this setback, Class 1-A wins the set 4-2. When Shota Aizawa asks his students what they learned from the battle, Koji responds that he needs to be able to give better instructions to insects, so Shota tells him to keep thinking about his weaknesses.

After his round, Koji remains watching the rest of the matches. The Joint Training Battle end with Class 1-A victory. Despite the fierce competition and the result, the exercise ends on good terms between both classes, and later Class 1-B visits Class 1-A's dormitories for socializing and dinner.

My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising
During fall, the Hero Public Safety Commission devises the Hero Work Recommendation Project, to help to train the new generation of Heroes due All Might retirement. Weeks go by, and shortly after winter begins, after the Hero Interview Training, Class 1-A is sent to Nabu Island, a remote place in southern Japan. The Pro Heroes who protected the island are about to retire, so the students will take care of the place, performing duties as real heroes acting like their own "Hero Office", until the arrival of new Pro Heroes.

Because Nabu Island is quite isolated from the rest of the country, and therefore far from any villain activity, there has been no notable incident since the last thirty years. For this reason, their work on the island involve mostly minor deeds. Koji is sent to retrieve pets that were lost on the island.

The next day, while Koji and several class 1-A students wait in the office waiting for a request, a neighbor and Fumikage arrive to report that the island is being attacked by a group of villains. Tenya quickly organizes the class to face this crisis. Koji teams up with Ochaco to assist in the evacuation of civilians on the beach, which was under attack by villain Chimera.

While several of his companions face the villain; Koji, Ochaco, Tsuyu and Mezo manage to evacuate all the civilians from the place. Then, they see a gigantic hologram of Deku asking for help, which was created using the Quirk of a girl named Mahoro. Koji and the other four run to the place of origin of the hologram, finding Izuku and Katsuki defeated, Mahoro and her younger brother Katsuma, and the villain Nine and Slice.

Nine orders Slice to get the kids, but as she tries to approach them, Koda uses his Anivoice Quirk to calls forth a huge flock of crows to block her path. Mezo then rushes in and carries the kids off while Ochaco taps Deku and Katsuki and Tsuyu carries them together with her tongue. Because her leader is suffering from his illness, Slice doesn't pursue them and decides to retreat so Nine can recover.

At night, the students retreat to a factory to heal their wounds and provide first aid to the inhabitants of the island. Koji helps in the kitchens preparing meals for the refugees. Later, they have a meeting where they discover that the objective of the villain leader, Nine, is to steal the Cell Activation Quirk from Katsuma. With this information, they devise a plan to approach them in front and keep civilians safe. The plan is to lure the villains to the furthest corner of the island where ancient castle ruins are. Rikido, Koji and Toru will lead the island's citizens and livestock into a cave to hide. Meanwhile, the rest of the Class 1-A will fight the villains.

Because of the powers unleashed by Nine during the confrontation, he causes a cave-in, trapping Koji, Rikido, and Toru along with the civilians in the cave. Rikido uses his enormous strength to prevent the rocks from falling on the civilians, while ordering his companions to take them to the bottom. Although the entrance is sealed, Rikido makes sure that no one else is injured. After this, everyone remains locked up until a few hours later several pro heroes arrive on the island and get them out of there, providing first aid.

During the time they remained in the cave, Koji's classmates managed to defeat Nine and his allies. The students recover from their injuries and help with reconstruction tasks before returning to the U.A. High School.

Koji remains at U.A., being one of the five students of Class 1-A not to participate in the international operation organized by the World Heroes Association against Humarise, an anti-Quirk cult led by Flect Turn that had recently carried out a terrorist attack, causing thousands of deaths by detonating a Trigger Bomb in a city. While the five of them are at Heights Alliance, they watch Flect Turn declaring that his organization had placed Trigger Bombs in 25 cities around the world, which in two hours would explode causing great mortality. The heroes located in these cities, including their classmates, do their best to prevent the catastrophic destruction.

Luckily for all, Izuku's group is able to assault the main Humarise headquarters, defeat Flect Turn and defuse the bombs worldwide, saving the world. Once the crisis has been averted, the classmates who were deployed during their Work-Study return back to Heights Alliance and celebrate their victory.

Paranormal Liberation War Arc
Winter break is over, and so is the Hero Work-Studies. The students return to U.A. to continue their studies and show their progress. Koji, who worked with Wash, shows off his improved communication skills and control over animals. Later at night, Koji helps his classmates to organize a Work-Study/Brainstorm/Hot Pot party to energize everyone for the new term. Some time later, the Mission: Humarise takes place although Koji does not participate in it.

The months go by until it's late March. Thanks to the police investigation and its spy Hawks, the Hero Public Safety Commission has found out the plans of the Paranormal Liberation Front and its allies. With this information the Commission organized a large force of Pro Heroes, divided in several teams to take down the villain organization.

A team of heroes has the mission of storming the main headquarters of the Paranormal Liberation Front, while another team lead by Endeavor will do the same at the Jaku General Hospital, where the Nomu are created. Finally, a third team, made up mainly of students and lead by Burnin, will be in charge of evacuating the residents of a city near the hospital and taking them to a safe place, with Koji in the last one. When everything is ready, the operation starts and Burnin signals the students to start evacuating the citizens.

The evacuation of the city proceeds without any problem. Koji collaborates with Manga, and uses his Quirk to evacuate all the animals in the city while his classmates take care of the citizens. Suddenly, the Jaku General Hospital and the entire area around it begin to falling apart, and the disintegration spreads rapidly until it reaches the city itself.

Izuku and Shoto try to stop the destruction but they fail, so Burnin quickly orders the students to run away from the unstoppable destruction, evacuating everyone. Koji and Manga use their Quirks to command the animals to flee. As Izuku, Katsuki, and the heroes continued fighting Tomura Shigaraki, Koji continued helping with the evacuation. In the aftermath of the Paranormal Liberation War, Koji continues to help Manga in rescuing any civilians caught by Gigantomachia's rampage. After the War ended, Koji and the rest of Class 1-A resettled back at Heights Alliance when they receive a letter from Izuku explaining his origins as being Quirkless and how he must leave U.A. High after being targeted by All For One.

Tartarus Escapees Arc
A few days after Izuku left U.A., Koji is seen at a meeting with Class 1-A. He and his classmates deduce that Izuku is now working with Endeavor and his team, and also All Might. A few days later, impatient with their response, Class 1-A pushed forward using Endeavor's U.A. Alumni status to confront him and learning the truth. Convinced of Class 1-A resolve to find Izuku, Endeavor decides to hand the students his GPS satellite phone that can pinpoint Izuku’s location. Many of them, like Koji and Hanta, say that they want to help him even though their relationship has been so far school-based.

Once Principal Nezu gives Class 1-A permission to bring back Izuku to U.A., Koji dispatches with his class to search for Izuku while at the same time, apprehending any prison escapees along the way. After a month of trailing in Izuku's whereabouts, Koji and Class 1-A finally arrived on the scene to defeat the villain Dictator. When Izuku refuses to yield, he demands everyone to get out of his way, which means they'll have to fight.

Koji uses his Quirk to summon a large flock of birds to distract Izuku and make it difficult for him to escape. He declares loudly to Izuku that Nezu has allowed him to return to U.A., so there is no need for him to run away. Izuku fought against his former classmates until he is physically and mentally pushed to the brink where Tenya catches up to him.

Koji regroups with the rest of the class and then listens to Katsuki apologizing to Izuku before he collapses from shock and exhaustion. Once Izuku is secured, they escorted him safely back to a heavily fortified U.A. High where they are confronted by angry protesting civilians. They are aware that Tomura is after Izuku and fear them being in danger, leading Ochaco to give a pleading speech toward the crowd on why he needs their help and deserves to stay and rest, with the civilians eventually agreeing. Izuku is escorted inside, where he and the other boys of the class quickly give him a wash. After finishing the bath, Izuku finally passes out from exhaustion, and Koji joins the rest of the class in declaring they'll do whatever they can to bring back the world and make it better.

U.A. Traitor Arc
Two days later, Class 1-A learn that during this time, Tomura had fought American No. 1 Hero, Star and Stripe, and while she was killed during the battle with Tomura successfully stealing her Quirk, New Order, thanks to her actions, the Quirk acted like a virus within his body, destroying several of his Quirks and delaying his procedure by about a week. All Might informs all this to the class, telling them that this is now their perfect time to prepare for the inevitable all-out war. The class reveals over the past month they had been training with the Wild, Wild Pussycats in order to keep up with Izuku in the incoming conflict, and are now about to head out to continue their training.

The class proceed to train amongst themselves in the courtyards outside. Shortly after this, Koji alongside the rest of the class discover the news that Izuku has captured the Aoyamas and revealing Yuga to be the traitor who isolated the class at the U.S.J. and revealed the location of their training camp. Once the Aoyamas are restrained, he and the other class refuse to back down from the news despite Nezu's request, all in stunned and tears of Yuga's betrayal. He listens to Yuga's desperation that drove him to despair and then Izuku pleading to let Yuga help them, leading the class to realize Yuga may be the only one able to deceive All For One.

Shota then appears on a tablet screen, taking full responsibility and reveals that he has an idea. He listened to Shota's plan after the Aoyama Family's ears have been covered. Naomasa then has the Aoyama Family escorted back to their HQ, telling everyone not to say a word to anyone else about the plan while he and the rest of the class look on sullenly.

Back at Heights Alliance, Koji takes a breather, before getting ready to gear back up, as he and everyone, with fire and rage in their eyes over the betrayal, prepares to bring All For One down once and for all. He joins up with their "Search Squad" to head out to hunt down the villains.

Later that night, he and his classmates return to Heights Alliance for a break after coming up empty from their search. All Might, Naomasa, and Nezu then arrive, informing them all about their secret finalized plans for the upcoming Second War.

The next day, Nezu announces to the civilians that Tomura will make his big move in 4 days, with Class 1-A moving outside of the U.A. barrier to began prioritizing their safety. He says his goodbyes before moving out of Heights Alliance and into its upgraded makeshift fortress called "Troy".

Final War Arc
Shortly before the start of the final battle, Koji and Mezo approach Shota and All Might about being deployed to help defend Central Hospital, which they are surprised to learn they know about. They reveal that several of the mutant refugees had told them about a "call to action" from Spinner and the Paranormal Liberation Front in which the heteromorphs are told to march on the Hospital in order to free Kurogiri, as retribution for their suffering. They insist on needing to be involved, and Shota allows them to go, with Present Mic as the lead watching over them.

As the fighting across all the battlefields begin, a team of heteromorphs, led by a now gigantified Spinner, attempt their storm on the Hospital. During the battle, Present Mic announces Dabi's defeat at Shoto's hand, just as Mezo saves Koji from an attack by Spinner's giant swords. Spinner calls their words "information warfare" and commands the army to get Kurogiri back so they can destroy the status quo. Koji and Mezo remain steadfast to fight the army.

Unfortunately, the heteromorph army, comprising of the Paranormal Liberation Front, and ordinary civilians who advocated for their actions, outnumber the Heroes and the Police Force from 15,000 to 200, overrunning their defences and overwhelming the heroes. Koji is able to save Present Mic from a flying soldier attempting to charge at him by commanding crows to save him, telling him he and Mezo got separated while fighting. The army proceeds to push the Heores down to create a path for Spinner towards the Hospital, and eventually, Koji was too attacked and is dogpiled to the ground. He asks why they're all doing this, while a heteromorph, recognizing he grew up in the city, calls him a traitor. A Liberation soldier preaches to the crowd that their actions are retribution for "The 6/6 Incident", a time where heteromorphs were brutally massacred just because they looked different. Mezo manages to stand up against Spinner after his mask was ripped, exposing his mouth.

Koji watches as Mezo is able to free himself of the heteromorphs' grasp, with his mask ripped off and his mouth exposed, asking Spinner and the army what their intention is for attacking the innocents at the Hospital. Mezo begins to battle Spinner, who uses his new Quirks to smash him across the skyscraper. Koji calls out to Mezo after he's tossed through a building, while the Liberation soldier continues to command the heteromorphs to strike back at their oppressors and that the blood spilled today will benefit their future, which angers Koji. He recalls back to sometime during their days at U.A., when Mezo showed them his arms, mouth, and scars, and how even despite all the pain he suffered growing up, he wants to fight for a better future for everyone.

The Liberation soldier continues to insult Mezo, telling him won't give any alternatives and they will not give in to his naivety. Koji, now enraged, demands him to never laugh at his classmate, as he starts to undergo a transformation that sprouts out horns from his head. The horns are a newly awakened ability that allows him to command a greater number of animals. With this new power, he unleashes his Ultimate Move Hitchcock Birds to overwhelm the Liberation soldier with thousands of birds, knocking him off the building.

While Present Mic heads into Central Hospital after Spinner, Mezo and Koji continue to try to hold off the rampaging heteromorph army. Koji was stil holding down the Paranormal Liberation solider who insulted Mezo. One of the people in the crowd is about to kill Mezo by attacking from behind until he is suddenly stopped by a fellow member, causing most of the fighting to stop as everyone looks on in surprise. The heteromorph army who entered the hospital are all emerging outside after hesitating to raid the hospital. He stares at the people standing in front of the Hospital's entrance, saying he thinks they're using their anger the wrong way.

The Liberation warrior held down by Koji calls out to them to not stop and follow their leader, to let everyone know of the abuse they've endured. The man responds that he still hates how he has been beaten up for no reason, but also worries if he's being indecisive, stating that he got excited over the "call to action" and since the world turned on them they had to turn in upside down. He thought the time was finally right with their leader, but now wonders if the entire world is truly their enemy, and that he doesn't want to hurt the people in the hospital and breaks down crying in shame. His actions and speech moves all the civilians in the army to halt their advance, causing other Liberation soldiers to cry out why they're not marching forward.

Mezo understands the feelings that gathered them all together weren't wrong, as the ones who've hurt them haven't been dragged into the light yet. After a Hero apologizes to the warrior for not realizing their struggles, Mezo believes that they are all a bright shining example, so they must use this light to change the people who inflict harm, until they feel ashamed of all their cruelty. Rock Lock looks on, noticing how all movement and passion from the army has ceased, thinking about all they could do to defend themselves was fight, and calls out for reinforcements to move toward the hospital to stop Spinner from awakening Kurogiri.
