Fumikage Tokoyami

Fumikage Tokoyami, also known as the Jet-Black Hero: Tsukuyomi (漆黒ヒーロー ツクヨミ), is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

Appearance
Fumikage is a short young man with the head of a black bird, possibly supposed to resemble that of a crow or a raven, although while it may appear to be feathers, his head is actually covered in black hair. He has a yellow beak which is slightly hooked down at the end, thin, red eyes, one on either side of his head, and a red band wrapped around his neck, which he rarely removes. Despite the appearance of his head, however, his body is of normal human shape, with rather fair skin.

His costume consists of a robe, black, but tinted a dark purple where light hits it, that covers his entire body, only stopping halfway down his shins, and knee-high black boots. During the Joint Training Arc, it was revealed that under this cape he wears a dark t-shirt, wristbands, a pair of baggy pants, similar to the ones Katsuki Bakugo wears in his hero costume, and a utility belt with a double pin buckle.

Personality
Fumikage is reserved, serious, and focused, albeit noble and valiant as well. Though he does not talk very much, he will directly ignore questions or requests that seem in some way pointless (like Tenya asking him to not sit on the desk) while he talks to other people as some sort of ongoing joke. When Fumikage teams up with others, he becomes more sociable, helping his teammates out, reassuring his trust in them and thanking them for their effort.

Fumikage is fond of darkness and other related concepts, considering himself a "creature of the dark" and employing archaic-sounding speeches that end up painting him as slightly dramatic. Still, Fumikage is a bit insecure about his interests due to them being more on the arcane, fantastical side, and thus harder for others to understand or relate to.

Fumikage is aware of his own limits and understands when it's time to back down, surrendering when Katsuki Bakugo forced him into a difficult position to fight back. He takes any advice he gets seriously and uses it to try and improve on his Quirk and abilities. Fumikage seems to hold a certain level of belief in the concept of fate, and thinks little about fame and idolatry, but is still prideful enough to not tolerate being looked down.

Abilities
Overall Abilities: Fumikage is said to be one of the strongest members of Class 1-A. He was able to defeat Momo Yaoyorozu (a person who was accepted into U.A. through official recommendations). Izuku Midoriya remarked that Fumikage is one of the strongest people when it comes to one-on-one battles. In addition, Izuku stated that the entire Bakugo Escort Squad (consisting of himself, Shoto Todoroki, Katsuki Bakugo, Fumikage, and Mezo Shoji) working together, have the potential to take on someone of All Might's caliber. And while he can still lose control of his Quirk, Fumikage's skills allowed him to earn 5th place in the Quirk Apprehension Test, and 3rd place at the U.A. Sports Festival.

Fumikage has incredible proficiency with his Quirk: Dark Shadow, using it for both attack and defense, boosting his mobility, and even aid in rescue operations. Fumikage has proven himself to think strategically as well, such as when he ordered Dark Shadow to guard his team's blind spot during the Human Cavalry Battle and grabbed one of Shoto's headbands when the opportunity arose.

Fumikage managed to hold off Katsuki Bakugo, another one of the strongest members in Class 1-A, for some time despite having a Quirk type disadvantage and when his Dark Shadow was not at full potential. All Might himself acknowledged Fumikage's strength and gave advice to him on how to improve. Shoto Todoroki was amazed by Fumikage's strength after witnessing his Dark Shadow pulverize and defeat Moonfish, an A-Rank villain that kept both him and Bakugo on the defensive. Fumikage's skill and strength were enough to attract the attention of both Mr. Compress, who attempted to capture him after watching him demolish Moonfish, and the Pro Hero Hawks, at the time the No. 3 Pro Hero, who took Fumikage as an intern.

Thanks to his internship training he received from Hawks, Fumikage improved Dark Shadow to the point where he is able to make it travel further away from his body (though the further Dark Shadow travels, the quicker his energy drains), and develop an ability known as "Black Fallen Angel". With his body having become more muscular, Hawks stated that Fumikage has improved on his weaknesses (I.E. close-range combat). Hawks' sidekicks are also in awe of Fumikage's abilities, remarking that he still has room for growth. Fumikage was also able to nearly match Hawks in terms of speed, almost keeping pace with the now No. 2 Pro Hero whilst they were out on patrol.

During the Provisional License Arc, Fumikage used the advice given to him by All Might and the experience gained in the Final Exams Arc to create "Black Ankh", a super move which removes Fumikage's physical weaknesses. He was able to do this in just five days of intensive training, and went on to create two more super moves relating to "Black Ankh".

As shown during the joint training session between Classes A and B, Fumikage's skills have drastically improved. His newly-acquired speed and strength allowed him to take down Kinoko Komori and Shihai Kuroiro in a single blow, and was only defeated due to holding back from knocking his opponents out.

Quirk
Dark Shadow: Fumikage is the host of a sentient, shadow beast that he can materialize and contract to and from his body freely. Fumikage can utilize Dark Shadow for various purposes, including defending himself.

In spite of its versatility, Dark Shadow's energy is limited and can be drained by sunlight. When it runs out of energy, Dark Shadow retracts back into Fumikage.

According to Mezo, Fumikage's negative emotions (such as regret and indignation) probably intensify Dark Shadow, making it more unruly and possibly making it stronger as a result, albeit at the cost of Fumikage losing control; Fumikage himself stated that his anger causes him to lose control of Dark Shadow.

The personality, strength, defense, and control of the shadow-like monster depends on the lack of light on Fumikage's surroundings. During the day, Dark Shadow is weaker and smaller in size but still has considerable strength and defense and is easier to control. During the night, Dark Shadow is stronger and bigger which grants it great strength, defense, and size, powerful enough to rip out and cut down multiple trees with ease. However, Dark Shadow is more difficult to control at night, causing it to rampage based on its own free will.

Super Moves

 * Black Ankh: Fumikage's special move (previously known as Tenebrous Abyss Body (深淵闇躯). Fumikage dons and equips Dark Shadow onto himself, wearing it like a suit of armor or an exoskeleton. According to Fumikage, equipping Dark Shadow onto himself mitigates his physical weaknesses.
 * Piercing Claw of the Dusk (宵闇よりし穿つ爪): Fumikage shoots out Dark Shadow's claw which attacks at great speed.
 * Gloom of the Black Arm (黒き腕の暗々裏): Fumikage enlarges Dark Shadows arms and smashes his targets with them.
 * Black Ankh Sabbath (""): Fumikage launches a high-speed attack using momentum gained from Black Fallen Angel.
 * Black Fallen Angel (黒の堕天使): It is a technique that Fumikage devised under the tutelage of the Pro Hero Hawks. Fumikage wraps himself up in Dark Shadow's arms and allows himself to be carried by it, while Dark Shadow flies by flapping its arms as wings.
