Togaru Kamakiri

Togaru Kamakiri, also known as Jack Mantis (ジャックマンティス), is a student in Class 1-B at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

Appearance
Togaru is a tall, slender young man with pale yellow-green skin (grey-ish blue in the manga) and a bright, fluffy green mohawk. His dark green eyes are pointed downwards to the center of his face, and two hooked blades jut out from either of his cheeks. He has no visible nose, and the shape of his head resembles that of an insect with mandibles.

His hero costume consists of a large, dark cloak and plain black trousers and boots. He has a mask around his eyes and a zig-zag pattern on his shirt.

Personality
Togaru is a hot-blooded person who appears rather aggressive in terms of behavior, akin to Katsuki Bakugo, albeit not to the same extent as the latter. He also seems to have a passion for fighting against his enemies, demonstrated by his desire to battle Class 1-A in the Joint Training Arc.

Abilities
Togaru also seems to have quick reflexes which were even commented on by Katsuki Bakugo during an altercation that they had in which Togaru was able to block a point-blank explosion from Katsuki.

Quirk
Razor Sharp (刃鋭): Togaru's Quirk allows him to produce large blades from any part of his body.

These blades appear to be sharp enough to cut through metal pipes (which are commonly made up of steel or iron), and durable enough to withstand a point-blank explosion.
