Sorahiko Torino

Gran Torino (グラントリノ Gurantorino) is a retired Pro Hero and a former teacher at Yuuei.

Appearance
Gran Torino is an extremely short, elderly man. His hero costume consists of a full body suit along with a cape, a belt with the letter "G" on it, and a dark coloured mask.

Personality
Gran Torino is a very forgetful man, repeatedly asking Izuku what his name was despite being the one who nominated him for work experience training, and failing to remember it even after being told what it was, calling the boy "Toshinori".

Despite his eccentric antics, Gran Torino is an intimidating man, as All Might was terrified over the idea of he once again taking his hero name in order to teach Izuku.

Past
At some point in the past, Gran Torino was part of the Yuuei Staff, All Might's homeroom teacher, and a close friend of his predecessor.

Field Training Arc
In his apartment, Gran Torino is on the floor with what is seemingly blood everywhere. Izuku Midoriya, the person Gran Torino nominated for, enters and is horrified to find the elderly retired Pro Hero on the floor seemingly dead. Gran Torino suddenly gets up, explaining to the boy that he was carrying a plate of sausages with ketchup on them but fell and got ketchup everywhere. Gran Torino asks the boy his name to which Izuku tells him his name. However, Gran Torino does not recall nominating him. He suddenly remembers, calling Izuku "Toshinori" in the process. As Izuku tries to leave the apartment to speak to All Might, Gran Torino asks Izuku to fight him with One For All, saying that he wants to see how well Izuku can handle One For All, wanting him to put his Hero costume on and fight him. Gran Torino once again forgets who Izuku is. Thinking that Gran Torino is playing games with him, Izuku declares to the elderly Hero that he needs to learn how to control his power as soon as possible since All Might is running out of time, telling the elderly Hero that he doesn't have time to be fooling around. Izuku tries to leave, but Gran Torino jumps and leaps in front of Izuku at an incredible speed, stopping Izuku from leaving. Gran Torino tells Izuku that since Izuku has a goal to learn how to control his power, then he has all the more reason to stay. The elderly Hero asks Izuku to use One For All and fight him.

Powers and Abilities
While nothing is known about the full extent of his strength, All Might, a world famous Hero, was intimidated by him. Despite being an elderly man, Gran Torino has incredible speed and agility, being able to jump and leap in front of Izuku within a matter of seconds.
