Yu Hojo

Hojo (宝生) is one of the Eight Expendables who works for the Eight Precepts of Death.

Appearance
Hojo is a bald, muscular man with shadowed eyes. He wears a mask on his mouth area just like the rest of the Eight Precepts of Death, albeit without the signature beak-like protrusion that is found on most members.

Personality
Hojo is fairly serious and observant, although he mostly keeps his observations to himself. As a fighter, he is straightforward and brutish.

Hojo, as well as the other members of the Eight Expendables, are all hopeless people who who have lost their dignity and no longer see any purpose in continuing to live, thus they're completely devoted to the Eight Precepts of Death and are not afraid of giving away their lives for the group. This led Hojo to share a powerful friendship with the other Expendables, something that he does not expect Heroes to understand.

Hojo appears to still hold a grudge about his past, specifically the person that exploited his ability to produce gems, whom Hojo refers with contempt.

History
At some point of his life, Hojo had the job to produce gems for an unspecified individual, who planned to sell the minerals for large profits. However, the gems turned out to be worthless, leading Hojo to be discarded.

Hojo was eventually found by Chisaki in the streets, with the yakuza offering him the opportunity to become his subordinate. With nowhere else to go, Hojo accepted and became one of the Eight Expendables.

Quirk and Abilities
Crystallization (結晶): Hojo's body is capable of growing crystal-like protrusions, giving him improved offense and defense.

Chisaki
After being deemed useless in his previous job, Hojo was discarded on the streets, where he was found by Overhaul.
