Kugo Sakamata

Kugo Sakamata, also known as Killer Whale Hero: Gang Orca (ギャングオルカ), is the former No. 10 and the current No. 12 Pro Hero. He is also the director of the Okuto Island Aquarium.

He serves as an antagonist in the second phase of the Provisional Hero License Exam.

Appearance
Gang Orca is a tall, well-built man whose body has the features of a killer whale, thanks to his mutant-type Quirk. He has deep white eyes that feature several rings that circle his red pupils. At times he can look extremely menacing, which is why he's ranked third in heroes that look like villains.

Gang Orca's normal hero costume consists of a white suit with a high collar. The collar reaches all the way to his chin, and it is decorated with diamond shapes that are made to look like teeth. This goes with a pink tie made to look like a tongue is coming out. He also wears a killer whale-like cape over his back.

During the Provisional License Exam, Gang Orca sported a red vest over his torso and wore metal gauntlets on his arms.

Following the Paranormal Liberation War, Gang Orca now has a scar over his left eye.

Personality
Gang Orca appears to be a calm and focused hero who treats every situation seriously. He is friendly and a good comrade towards his fellow Pro Heroes. He was relieved that Tiger was able to rescue his ally and calmed him when he was worried about her condition. Gang Orca also teased Best Jeanist on being unable to change Katsuki Bakugo's personality and reform his crude attitude.

Gang Orca can put on a menacing and ruthless persona when required. He acted like a true villain during the latter stages of the Provisional Licensing Exam and was a consistent threat to the students. He is not above calling out the students on their mistakes. Despite his hard exterior, Gang Orca admits that he enjoys seeing the students trying to make up for their mistakes.

The No. 12 Hero takes teaching aspiring heroes very seriously, as at the Remedial Course, he was very rude and belittling to the students who failed the licensing exam. Despite his harsh words and the menacing front he puts on, he does really care about the students put under his teaching and desires to help motivate them so they can become heroes with heart. As pointed out by Present Mic, Gang Orca is actually a big softie underneath who loves kids. This was shown after he encourages them and their potential following the first remedial lesson, but then stumbles and loudly demands that they don't dare fail in an angry voice.
