Nezu

Nedzu, also known as Mr. Principal is a Hero and the principal of Yuuei Academy. He is the extreme rare case of an animal who manifested a Quirk.

Appearance
He has the face of a bear, with a large scar going across his right eye, nearly to his neck. He has the nose and tail of a mouse, along with dog paws for hands.

He is most often seen wearing an elegant suit with large shoes.

Personality
As befitting his role as Principal of the Academy of Heroes, Nedzu is an eccentric, polite, and persistent educator.

He can be very long winded at times when explaining or educating. Nedzu composed an entire lecture on his educational theories concerning the balance between hero and instructor, which he would happily speak of over tea in an attempt to keep All Might still. His dedication to educating goes as far as assessing villains, especially young ones, and wondering if they could be put on the right path if they were taught, although he admits the naivety of the idea.

He is not above putting himself on the front lines, as he was seen with the other heroes coming to Class A-1's rescue, with his focus being the protection of the students. He understands strategies between hero conflicts enough to participate in the debriefing after the invasion.

He is quite self-aware of his odd appearance and introduces himself by pointing that fact out.

Because he was abused and mistreated by humans in the past, Nedzu's true character reveals itself; that he enjoys "toying" with humans whenever he is in combat.

History
In the past, Nedzu was abused and mistreated by humans.

Unforeseen Simulation Joint Arc
When reports arrive at Yuuei seeking information about All Might's teaching position, upon the arrival of the Police Force they withdraw. Shortly afterwards, Nedzu along with various teachers investigate a hole in the schools gate. Questioning if an ordinary reporter caused the hole or if an element of evil has penetrated the ground. Nedzu suggests perhaps it was a declaration of war.

Combat Exam Arc
Before Class 1-A's end of term test exercise begins, Mr. Principal jumps out of Shouta's scarf and reveals to Class 1-A that they will not be having a battle simulation against robots for their test exercise. Mr. Principal explains that the recent surge of villains has caused the school to increase their training methods; Mr. Principal says that from now on, Yuuei students will be having battle simulations similar to real life battles, starting with Class 1-A. Mr. Principal reveals that Class 1-A's test exercise will be forming pairs and facing one of Yuuei's teachers in combat, shocking Class 1-A. Mr. Principal states that Class 1-A's pairs and the teachers they will fight has been decided. Mr. Principal was assigned to face off against Denki and Mina in combat for the test.

Mr. Principal, Denki, and Mina arrive in an uninhabited city where Class 1-A's test exercise will take place. In the city, Mr. Principal explains the 30 minute test; Denki and Mina must either handcuff him or one of them must escape the battlefield within 30 minutes in order to win and pass the test. The test begins.

Nedzu commandeers a wrecking ball and uses it to block off the roads leading to the escape gate, causing trouble for Denki and Mina. While using the wrecking ball, Nedzu drinks a cup of tea, noting that making decisions are rudimentary for him. Nedzu sees that Denki and Mina have not noticed his strategy and begins laughing maniacally.

Mr Principal's intellect and strategy prevent Denki and Mina from passing through the escape gate or handcuffing him, causing them to fail the practical test.

School Trip Arc
Mr Principal along with Shouta and Vlad King appear in Yuuei's public apology broadcast where they apologize to society for their shortcomings. However, society still criticizes Yuuei for being unable to protect the students and criticize their security measures for not ensuring the safety of the students.

Quirk and Abilities
High Spec: Nedzu's Quirk grants him superior intelligence that surpasses humans. Because he is an animal, Nedzu's Quirk enabled him to live within society like a normal person.

End of Term Test Arc
