Appearance
Izuku is a 14 year old boy with Green eyes and black wrinkled hair. He is very skinny, wears a black jacket with yellow buttons and has black pants. Izuku usually wears oversized red shoes.

Personality
He is a very timid person that gets scared a lot. Because he's been bullied since childhood, Izuku's used to back up a lot and not express himself in front of Katsuki.

He's very diligent, strong willed and a bit of a dreamer, and because he loves Heroes, he knows everything about them and writes down in his notebooks all he knows about heroes.

He will always go rescue someone in danger, even if he knows he's not strong enough.

Past
When Izuku was born, he had no Quirk. He always loved watching superheroes fight and wanted to be like the hero All Might. He was bullied at school by Katsuki Bakugou for wanting to be a hero and everyone knowing he doesn't have Quirk. Izuku and his mother went to the doctors where they told him that he couldn't have a Quirk. He couldn't have on because he had 2 joints in his toes. This means he couldn't have one at all. Though this revelation was sad for him, he still believed he could become a hero.

Entrance Exam Arc
During school one day, it is revealed by Katsuki Bakugou that Izuku wishes to attend the prestigious "Yuuei" high school. His fellow students scoff at him and dismiss his ambitions as ridiculous. However, Izuku holds to his dreams and despite the mocking, he convicts himself to enter the school.

The same day, as Izuku walks home, a villain fleeing the scene of a crime encounters him. This villain had apparently escaped All Might earlier that day at 12:02 AM. The villain decides that to avoid detection, he should take over Izuku's body. Just as Izuku falls into despair, All Might shows up and saves him. Stunned, Izuku asks for an autograph, but All Might leaves before he can ask the questions he has burning in the back of his mind. So in an effort to get All Might to stay, he latches on to All Might's leg and hangs on while All Might launches himself into the air. After a quick strugglet hey land safely on a rooftop. Izuku asks him if he could become a hero without an individuality. He tells All Might that he always wanted to be a hero and save people.

All Might then sees a villain attacking from a distance. Izuku recognizes Katsuki Bakugou and runs into save him for the villain. He goes to grab him, but All Might gets to him first and uses Detroit Smash on the villain. Katsuki gets mad that he saved him and walks away. All Might then came to thank him and offer him the chance to become a hero. All Might tells Izuku he's worthy to inherit his strength and that he has the power to transfer his Quirk to people. All Might then begins to train him at the Seaside Park by moving garbage around. After 10 months of training, the day of the entrance exam arrives. At six o'clock in the morning -- the last possible second -- Izuku moves the final piece of garbage.

Trivia

 * Izuku's nickname, "Deku", was given to him by Bakugou when they were little. "Deku" is another reading of his name 出久, and Bakugou uses it to mock Izuku, as "Deku" can mean "the one who can't achieve/do anything". Later, Ochako finds the nickname very inspiring because "Deku" gives off a feeling of "I can do it".
 * He's student no.18 in the 1-A class.
 * He ranked 7th during the Entrance Exam and last for the ability test.
 * Izuku's favorite food is Katsudon.
