Shuichi Iguchi

Shuichi Iguchi, also known by his villain name Spinner (スピナー) is a villain affiliated with the League of Villains and part of its Vanguard Action Squad. He and the rest of his team serve as the main antagonists of the Forest Training Camp Arc.

Appearance
Spinner is a man with a reptile-like appearance, having green scales on his skin and a face shaped much like a lizard's. His hair is long and held backwards, with a distinctive pink color.

In reflection of his great admiration towards Stain, he wears clothes similar to his: a sleeveless shirt and dark pants, along with black shoes and metallic, spiked knee guards. He wears a mask made of a long, tattered bandage, a dark scarf and bandages wrapped around both his arms, partially covered by black wristbands. He also carries an enormous sword on his back (made out of many smaller blades tied together) and wears goggles on his forehead.

Personality
Spinner is a sinister man who takes pleasure in hurting people, such as when he stepped on Pixie-Bob's face with his arms outstretched and smiling happily as the woman laid on the ground, bleeding and unconscious due to his and Magne's attack.

Much like Dabi, Spinner also admires Stain greatly, but is devoted to the point of copying his clothing and weaponry style, and aims to follow his ideals and make his dreams come true. He is therefore more morally inclined than the rest of the League of Villains, attacking Magne to protect Izuku Midoriya (whom Stain had labeled as someone worthy of being called a hero) and questioning whether or not the League's actions truly follow Stain's ideals. He can be distracted when a girl compliments him.

Abilities
Overall Abilities: He has shown to be moderately capable at close quarters combat, using his huge makeshift sword to attack. He seems to be rather strong, lifting and swinging it with ease. He was able to fight on equal ground with Pro Hero Mandalay for a few minutes, rarely taking hits, although he was eventually subdued without being able to injure her. Spinner is also proficient at throwing knives. He also taught himself how to drive trucks by playing video games. Despite Dabi complaining about his skills, Spinner was able to pull off a difficult maneuver without losing control.

Equipment
Makeshift Sword: Spinner wields a very curious sword, which is made of several knives, daggers, kukris, hatchets and many other blades. They appear to be held together by chains and belts. The sword is about the same size as spinner himself, yet he seems to very proficient at using it with great speed. Spinner commonly carries it around on his back, wrapped in cloth as to not injure himself. This sword, however, was completely destroyed by Izuku Midoriya before it could do any major damage.
