Kurogiri

.

Kurogiri is a B-rank villain and a major antagonist in the series as a whole. He is a Nomu created by Doctor Ujiko from the corpse of Oboro Shirakumo to serve and protect Tomura Shigaraki.

He is currently inactive and imprisoned in Tartarus.

Appearance
As his name implies, Kurogiri's entire body is made out of dark purple mist, save for his eyes, which are glowing yellow. He normally wears a very elegant suit with a tie and has five metal plates that go from around his collarbone to just below his eyes.

In his villain costume, he doesn't wear anything and only has three metal plates around his neck.

Personality
Kurogiri has a level-headed personality, which often serves to ground Tomura Shigaraki's immaturity. He is intensely loyal to both All For One and Tomura, having been created to watch over the latter. As a Nomu, Kurogiri is programmed to only obey commands from a select few and will remain silent towards any attempt to extract compromising information about the League from him.

Kurogiri is very polite and well-spoken, even to his enemies, sometimes introducing himself in a formal manner. However, just like his fellow villains of the League, he possesses a truly sinister nature, having no qualms in putting hero students in situations where they would be tortured or killed. At the start of the series, he was often seen tending to a bar in the League of Villains' first hideout at Kamino.

Whether or not Kurogiri has retained any parts of Oboro Shirakumo's personality remains unknown. At the very least, he seems unaware or dismissive of his previous identity, although a small part of Oboro was able to briefly manifest himself thanks to Shota Aizawa's efforts.

Abilities
Tactical Intellect: During his battle against the Space Hero: Thirteen, Kurogiri created a portal infront of himself and opened the exit behind Thirteen, turning the suction power of her Black Hole Quirk against her, resulting in her back being torn and scared. Kurogiri knew it would work because he realized that Thirteen was a rescue Hero, and thus deduced that she lacked combat experience and battle field awareness.

Quirk
Warp Gate: Kurogiri's Quirk can create and manipulate a dark fog that acts as a portal to another location. Whenever he produces a mass of the dark fog, it transports anything it comes in contact with to a location of Kurogiri's choosing. His Quirk is coordinate-based, so in order use it, he needs to know the exact location where he is supposed to open the exit portal.

He can also create multiple exit points where the things that touch his fog will emerge, as shown when he stops the fight between Tomura, Dabi and Himiko Toga and each of their hands appear in a different location.

This Quirk's usefulness and rarity makes Kurogiri an extremely vital asset to the League of Villains, as even Tomura, despite being angered with Kurogiri during the raid on U.A. High, did not dare punish him.

Warp Gate is an artificial Quirk made with a combination of several Quirks, with Oboro Shirakumo's Cloud used as the base factor. It is unknown how many Quirks besides Cloud have been used to make Warp Gate.

Trivia

 * His name contains the kanji for black (黒) and mist (霧).

Quotes

 * (To Class 1-A and Thirteen) "Greetings. We are the League of Villains. Forgive our audacity, but... today, we've come here to U.A. High School—this bastion of heroism...to end the life...of All Might, the Symbol of Peace."
