His hero costume is very simplistic, having a purple shirt and mask and yellow cape, pants, boots and gloves.

Personality
He's a bit perverted, expressing his liking for breasts and also mentioning that "tentacles are sexy", but in all, he's a nice guy. He has been shown to freak out easily in momments of stress or fear, acting in an impulsive way.

Ultimate Space & Jams Arc
Minoru evacuates with his class, but after one of the villains warp everyone to different areas of the Ultimate Space and Jams, Minoru end up in the flood area along with Izuku and Tsuyu. He is then saved by Tsuyu who throws him onto the boat. Minoru thinks that the villains would never be able to kill All Might and says that he will come to save the day. Tsuyu tells him that the villains wouldn't go through all this trouble if they didn't know how to kill him and that they would torture them to death, which intern frightens Minoru. After Izuku says that they have to fight to win, Minoru is surprised and shocked at his statement.

Minoru questions Izuku's decision to fight as their opponents are villains who could kill All Might saying that his idea is self-contradicting. He then suggests that their best decision is to wait for the Heroes of Yuuei to show up. After Minoru explains his Quirk, he gets a silent reaction from Izuku and Tsuyu, causing to wail about his Quirk not being suited to combat. When one of the villains split the boat in half, Minoru uses his quirk in despair, which Izuku tells him to stop. After Izuku uses Delaware Smash on the water's surface, Minoru is grabbed by Tsuyu along with Izuku. He then begins throwing his sticky substance at the converging water. This causes the sticky substance to be converged with the villains, causing them to be stuck together by Minoru's Quirk, defeating them as they are unable to battle. Minoru then escapes with Izuku and Tsuyu, with Tsuyu telling him that he did a great job. Minoru then heads to the central plaza with Izuku and Tsuyu to try and assist Shouta, but when they arrive, he is horrified to see Shouta badly beaten due to the work of a monstrous villain. When the villains decide to retreat, Minoru is happy to hear it, hugging Tsuyu in the process, but he is pushed back by her for getting too close. When All Might appears, Minoru is estatic to see him. He is then rescued by All Might along with Izuku and Tsuyu. After the battle with the Villain Alliance is over, Minoru is seen with his class.

Sports Festival Arc
Once the Obstacle Race begins, Minoru is seen trying to get past the narrow gate. He manages to avoid having his feet frozen by Shouto. Minoru tries to attack Shouto with his Quirk, but a robot punches him and he is sent reeling back. He eventually manages to finish the race while holding onto Momo's back, much to his happiness but to Momo's disgust. He places 18th, allowing him to participate in the next event, the Human Cavalry Battle.
