Masaru Bakugo

Masaru Bakugo is Katsuki Bakugo's father and the husband of Mitsuki Bakugo.

Appearance
Masaru is a middle-aged man of average height and build who has short brown hair similar in style to his wife and son, a short mustache and rectangular glasses.

Personality
Compared to his hotheaded wife and son, Masaru seems to be more of a calm person who is less prone to violence. He had shown to be unsettled by their bickering while Katsuki’s teachers were present in their home.

However, he clearly loves his family very much and gets along well with his wife as he, too, does not approve of his son's arrogant attitude.

History
At some point, he met Mitsuki at a job and she aggressively hit on him which led to a relationship that progressed to them getting married. Sometime later, Masaru became the father to their son, Katsuki.

Hideout Raid Arc
Masaru tries to calm his arguing family down when Toshinori Yagi and Shota Aizawa arrive. After calming down, Mitsuki notes that Katsuki's rashness along with his gifted abilities, has resulted in him being pampered and getting shallow praise for what he has which has resulted in his arrogant nature. However, Mitsuki is happy that Shota sees her son for who he is instead of his gifted abilities. She once again agrees to leave Katsuki in U.A. High School's care since her son returned home safe and sound thanks to the Pro Heroes and asks Shota to make her son into a fine hero.

Dark Hero Arc
In the aftermath of the Paranormal Liberation War, All For One has escaped from Tartarus, and proceeded to break into several more maximum security prisons, liberating the inmates. Due to the chaos inflicted by Gigantomachia and the mass breakout of prisoners, the whole country entered a state of total chaos and anarchy. In addition, many heroes resigned and called it quits because of the massive criticism of their work, and the destruction spreading unchecked. Masaru and his wife were forced to move into the evacuation shelter at U.A. due to the widespread of destruction caused by the mass prison escapees.

U.A. Traitor Arc
Shortly afterwards, Nezu announces to the civilians that the villains will make their big move in 4 days, with Class 1-A giving their thanks to everyone at the entrance, with them all ready to head back out. The students say their goodbyes to everyone, with Katsuki saying goodbye to his family members, though Mitsuki was very persistent over his cocky attitude, much to his annoyance.

Final War Arc
With his son fighting the villains in the Final War, he and his wife continues to stay at the evacuation shelter. Mitsuki notices that the cumulonimbus storm has started growing over Japan and continues to expand, combined with the tropical typhoon that begins to pick up massive wind speeds. She comments how much Katsuki does not like the rain, wondering what he will do next, unaware of their son, Katsuki's death at the hands of Tomura Shigaraki.

He and his wife were also watching the live broadcast of the war, including the alive Katsuki going up fighting against All For One. Mitsuki tears up after seeing how bad her son is close to death in his critical injuries. Masaru is so afraid that he refuses to look anymore, turning away from the screen, but Mitsuki tells him they have to watch the fight for their son's sake, because their kid must be out there grinning like he always does.

Quirk
Acid Sweat: Masaru's Quirk allows him to secrete acidic sweat with combustive properties from the palms of his hands. Unlike his son however, he cannot forcibly secrete it, and it comes out like normal sweat. If he rubs his hands together, then he can create explosions.
