Shihai Kuroiro

Shihai Kuroiro, also known as the Scheming Hero: Vantablack (陰謀ヒーロー ベンタブラック), is a student in Class 1-B at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

Appearance
Shihai is a tall young man with fluffy white hair and black eyes, which are long and thin in shape. His most prominent feature is his pitch black skin, its unusual color most likely due to the Quirk he possesses, and his face usually holds an unsure or irritated expression.

His hero costume consists of a simple black jumpsuit with light shoes and large wristband on his left arm with three rectangular indentations.

Personality
Shihai is a sly, deceitful schemer, who prefers to catch people off guard. He appears to enjoy dark concepts and has a penchant for dramatic speech, similar to Fumikage Tokoyami.

Shihai appears to have a crush on Kinoko Komori, as he nervously averts his eyes and stammers while speaking to her, and celebrates internally when she praises him in the Joint Training Battle. He's also seen standing jealously behind her while she talks to Fumikage.

Abilities
Enhanced Speed: When he is merged into the darkness, Shihai shows the ability to move at great speed; grabbing Yuga Aoyama and dashing away with him as a prisoner before anyone could react. He was also able to dodge out of the way of Momo Yaoyorozu’s thrown nets by leaping into the dark shadow of a pipe.

Quirk
Black: This Quirk allows Shihai to merge into anything that is black in color. He can then move said 'black' things but at the same time is limited to black things that are normally capable of moving. As such he was able to merge into Fumikage's Dark Shadow and take brief control over it to attack Fumikage.
