Shihai Kuroiro

Shihai Kuroiro is a student in Class 1-B at U.A. High School training to become a Pro Hero.

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 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. He appears to enjoy dark concepts and has a penchant for dramatic speech, similar to that of Fumikage Tokoyami.

Shihai also appears to have a crush on Kinoko Komori, as he nervously averted his eyes and stammered while speaking to her, and celebrated internally when she praised him.

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.
