Kinoko Komori

Kinoko Komori is a student at U.A. High School training to become a Pro Hero.

Appearance
Kinoko is a short girl with light colored hair styled in a bob cut that reaches slightly below her shoulders. Her blunt bangs completely cover her eyes, hiding most of her face. She has a very wide mouth compared to her narrow face. Her head is somewhat shaped like a mushroom because of her hair. Her pupils are of the shape of cross sliced mushrooms.

Her Hero Costume consists of a hat and dress with a pattern and a turtleneck. She wears a belt around her waist. She wears shoes with frilly socks that also have a fly agaric pattern. Altogether, her costume bears much resemblance to that of a mushroom as a reference to her Quirk.

Personality
During the U.A. Sports Festival, Kinoko has her eyes hidden by her front bangs and has a sullen expression, suggesting her to be very shy.

Kinoko arrives at the Joint Training Exercise alongside her classmates with a big smile, contrasting with her demeanor during the Sports Festival. When her teammate Shihai Kuroiro's plan fails, she excitedly initiates her part of the plan using her Mushroom Quirk, suggesting that her confidence has increased greatly.

She enjoys using her Quirk which stems from her gleeful liking for mushrooms. She remembers the species-name of all the mushrooms she can spawn and happily adds endearing honorifics to them.

U.A. Sports Festival Arc
Kinoko finishes the Obstacle Race at 34th place. She teams up with Itsuka Kendo, Reiko Yanagi, and Setsuna Tokage for the Cavalry Battle, and doesn't object once Itsuka suggests for their team to allow Team Tetsutetsu to participate in the 1 vs. 1 battles in their place.

Forest Training Camp Arc
Kinoko is seen with Yui Kodai, Setsuna, Pony Tsunotori, and Reiko when Classes A and B are heading out for the school trip. On the second day of the training camp, she listens along with the rest of her class as their homeroom teacher explains that they will be training their Quirks.

Quirk
Mushroom (キノコ): Kinoko is able to spray a solution made from her cells, which allows her to grow mushrooms from various surfaces including her surroundings, her own body, and even her opponent's body. They only last for a few hours. They grow better in a humid environment.

Equipment
Squirt Guns: Kinoko possesses a pair of spray bottles that look like guns that have mushroom-shaped objects where the hammer would be. She uses them to spread her mushroom spores more efficiently.
