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. He is very polite and well-spoken, even to enemies, which is shown when he greets the students and introduces himself in a formal manner. However, like his fellow villains, he also has shown a sinister side by telling the students that they would be tortured and killed when warping them to various areas of the U.S.J.

Unforeseen Simulation Joint Arc
Kurogiri appears at the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, using his Quirk to warp himself and the villains to the area. He then appears before the escaping class of students, introducing themselves as the League of Villains and revealing that they were the ones who broke into U.A. yesterday. He goes on to say that their mission is to kill All Might and wonders why he isn't here. Katsuki Bakugo and Eijiro Kirishima attack Kurogiri, but their attacks simply go through him. He then uses his Quirk to warp most of the students to various areas of the USJ.

After doing this, Kurogiri fights Thirteen. Kurogiri uses his Quirk against Thirteen's Quirk by warping Thirteen's Black Hole against them. As Thirteen's Quirk starts turning them to dust, Kurogiri says that Thirteen's battle experience is far lower than other heroes due to them only specializing in disaster relief. Having incapacitated Thirteen, Kurogiri tries to stop Tenya Iida from escaping, knowing that Tenya's escape would put the League of Villains in jeopardy, but is intercepted by Mezo Shoji.

As Tenya reaches the exit, Kurogiri tries to attack him again, but Ochaco Uraraka, seeing a physical part of him, is able to grab him and use her Zero Gravity to make him float into the air, stopping him with the help of Hanta Sero and Rikido Sato. Kurogiri decides to inform Tomura Shigaraki on the situation, telling him that he has incapacitated Thirteen but failed to stop one of the students from escaping.

Kurogiri then uses his Quirk to protect Nomu against All Might's attack. As he himself is about to attack All Might, Katsuki strikes him and pins him down, preventing him from using his Quirk. Kurogiri is then set free when Nomu attempts to attack Katsuki.

After All Might defeats Nomu and Tomura starts to panic, Kurogiri calms him down by saying that Nomu did considerable damage to All Might and they should take the opportunity to finish the job. After Tomura regains his composure, he and Kurogiri attempt to attack All Might, but they are intercepted by Izuku Midoriya, which gives the heroes enough time to arrive at the USJ, in turn forcing Tomura and Kurogiri to stop their attack. They are then sucked into Thirteen's Black Hole and are seemingly turned into dust, but Kurogiri uses his Quirk at the last second to warp him and Tomura back to their hideout, thus saving themselves from being killed. After the mysterious voice on the monitor asks about the whereabouts of Nomu, Kurogiri regretfully reports that they do not know Nomu's coordinates due to him being thrown far away and were unable to pinpoint his location, thus being unable to retrieve him.
