Shihai Kuroiro

Shihai Kuroiro is a student in Class 1-B at U.A. High School.

Appearance
Shihai appears to be quite tall standing near six feet in height. Unlike most characters from the series, his skin is completely black, probably due to his quirk, which contrasts with his white hair. His eyes also appear to be black in color but the sclera remaining white. He is often seen with an unsure, edgy or irritated expression.

His Hero Costume consists of a simple black jumpsuit with light shoes and large wristband on his left arm with three rectangular indentations.

Personality
Shihai is a sly, deceitful schemer, who prefers to catch people off guard.

Shihai, very much like Fumikage Tokoyami, appears to enjoy dark concepts and has a penchant for dramatic speech. However, it's unknown if this is genuine or a lie he employed in order to trick Fumikage into believing that they were similar.

U.A. Sports Festival Arc
Shihai comes in 30th place during the Obstacle Course. He teams up with Neito Monoma, along with 2 other Class B students, Kosei Tsuburaba and Sen Kaibara.

Abilities
Enhanced Speed: When he is merged into the darkness, Shihai shows the ability to move at great speed; grabbing Aoyama and dashing away with him as a prisoner before anyone could react. He was also able to dodge out of the way of Momo's thrown nets by leaping into the dark shadow of a pipe.

Quirk
Black: This Quirk allows Shihai to merge into anything that is black in color. He can then move said 'black' things but at the same time is limited to black things that are normally capable of moving. As such he was able to merge into Fumikage's Dark Shadow and take brief control over it to attack Fumikage.
