Yawara Chatora

Yawara Chatora (茶虎柔), also know by his hero name Tora (虎), is a Pro Hero and a member of the hero team, Pussycats.

Appearance
Tora is a tall, muscular man with dark hair and blank white eyes. Around his eyes there are black markings that connect to his hair, and he also sports a triangle-shaped beard.

Like the other members of his team, he wears a cat-themed hero costume consisting of a brown marching band uniform-looking top along with a large ruffled skirt with a tail, an orange belt with pockets and a silver buckle resembling a cat paw with blue pads, large white cat gloves with claws and boots with vertical stripes and white fur lining. In his head he wears an accessory with cat ear-like protrusions.

Personality
Tora is a very strict, intimidating man who takes his duty of training the U.A. students very seriously, to the point of encouraging them to stretch their muscles until they rip apart, and showing no hesitation in punching them during training. He is also very protective towards his fellow Pussycat members as he become very angry when Pixie-bob was hurt.

School Trip Arc
Tora first appears when the Pussycats first introduce their entire team and Quirks, consisting of Mandalay, Pixie-bob, Ragdoll, and himself, to Class 1-B. Tora asks all power-up type students to come with him. Tiger then sees Izuku stretching and asks the boy to attack him; Izuku uses 5% Detroit Smash but Tora is able to dodge his move effortlessly. Tora retaliates by punching Izuku and notes that his muscles are not yet ripping apart enough. He continues training and encouraging Izuku, while Kouta silently watches them behind a tree.

Later that day, Tora stands between the students and Kenji and Shuichi after Ryuko has been attacked. Once Kenji threatens to kill Pixie-bob, he says that he will not let him. After Shuichi interrupts them and introduces himself, Tora angrily reprimands him for scarring Ryuko's face.

Both Tora and Shino fight Kenji and Shuichi respectively. Kenji sees that Shuichi is having trouble dealing with Shino and uses his Quirk to pull Shino towards him. Suddenly, Tora punches Kenji which frees Shino from Kenji's grasp. Tiger punches Kenji again, but this time Kenji is able to block Tora's attack. While getting up, Shino informs Tora that she is unable to communicate with Ragdoll, which she considers strange since she normally answers her immediately. Tora continues fighting Kenji and holds his own. Tora is able to immobilize Kenji by wrapping his arms around the villain. Tora and Shino plan to take in Kenji and Shuichi, but Kurogiri appears and rescues Shuichi and Kenji from Tiger and Shino.

Hideout Raid Arc
Two days later, Tora joins the Police Force and a large number of Pro Heroes in the rescue operation of Katsuki. Tora states that his teammate Ragdoll was kidnapped by the Vanguard Action Squad and will rescue her; he notes that the League of Villains have a number of hideouts instead of one.

Mt. Lady, Tora, Best Jeanist, and Gang Orca infiltrate the partially destroyed warehouse and apprehend all the Nomus while Tora rescues Ragdoll. Hakamata informs Naomasa that the warehouse has been cleared.

Tora attempts to speak to Ragdoll but she is unresponsive. Suddenly, All For One appears in the shadows and apologizes to Tora, explaining that he stole Ragdoll's Quirk. Before the Pro Heroes can act, All For One destroys the warehouse while damaging the surrounding area.

Best Jeanist reacts quickly and manipulates his fellow Pro Heroes clothes, causing Tora to be reeled back, allowing him to survive All For One's attack. However, Tora was still heavily injured by the attack.

After Edgeshot and Endeavor appear, Tora rescues the trapped civilian All Might was protecting in order to alleviate his burden.

After All Might defeats All For One, Tora returns home with Ragdoll and he along with Pixie-bob and Mandalay comfort her.
