Emi Fukukado

Emi Fukukado, also known as Smile Hero: Ms. Joke (スマイルヒーロー ジョーク), is a Pro Hero and a teacher of 2nd year, Class 2 at Ketsubutsu Academy High School.

Appearance
Emi is a young woman with an athletic build and chest-length hair, which is portrayed as cyan in the manga, but sea green in the anime. Her eyes are inverted in color, meaning her pupils are light whereas her irises are dark. Her most predominant feature is her constant smile. Her hero costume consists of a bandana around her head, sleeveless tank top, thick fighting gloves with metal cuffs, and vertically striped pants which resembles part of a clown's attire. Around her waist is a belt adorned with smiles. While in active duty, her costume also appears to feature a gas mask.

Personality
Emi is cheerful, outgoing, and positive; She is also rather forward with her thoughts as she constantly flirts with Aizawa without embarrassment.

Though she has a playful and fun personality, Emi does have a more mature and focused side, especially when it comes to teaching her students, as seen through her commentary with Aizawa throughout the Hero License Exam. She appears to care deeply about her students and understands the drive many young people have to become heroes.

Emi also appears to have a general disdain for U.A's teaching methods and the elitism that comes from their prestige. The best example of this is when she criticized U.A. for failing to recognize Hitoshi Shinso's potential as a hero. She demonstrates this disdain again during the Hero License arc, when she scolds Aizawa for his condescending attitude toward hero academies, and for suggesting that U.A. students are more adept at heroics due to the school's harsher teaching methods.

Quirk
Outburst: Emi's Quirk forces others to laugh which impairs their cognitive and motor skills.
