I'm not trying to be a boss or anything. I'm explaining why the trivia doesn't work.

Stuff like "he wears a surgical mask like plenty of Japanese people" is just bad trivia. It's like saying that Katsuki resembles a typical Japanese delinquent because of his blonde hair and angry personality. In Overhaul's case, you're just trying to list aspects of Japanese culture he vaguely fits in (and sometimes they're not even Japanese culture, just trends Japanese people enjoy), despite that being true for every character due to, again, this being a Japanese work. I could list plenty of Japanese-specific cliches in characters like Shoto, Izuku, Tokoyami, Aizawa...

Never mind that surgical masks are common throughout East Asia, not just Japan, so it's not a specific Japan thing.
