Togaru Kamakiri

Togaru Kamakiri, also known as Jack Mantis (ジャックマンティス), is a student in Class 1-B at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

Appearance
Togaru is a tall, slender young man with pale yellow-green skin (grey-ish blue in the manga) and a bright, fluffy green mohawk. His dark green eyes are pointed downwards to the center of his face, and two hooked blades jut out from either of his cheeks. He has no visible nose, and the shape of his head resembles that of praying mantis with mandibles.

His hero costume consists of a large dark green cloak, plain black trousers and boots. He has a mask around his eyes and a zig-zag pattern on his shirt.

Personality
Togaru is a hot-blooded person who appears rather aggressive in terms of behavior, akin to Katsuki Bakugo, albeit not to the same extent as the latter. He also seems to have a passion for fighting against his enemies, demonstrated by his desire to battle Class 1-A in the Joint Training Arc.

He is gym buddies with Tetsutetsu and sees Katsuki as a personal rival.

Abilities
Togaru's reflexes are impressive enough for Katsuki Bakugo to comment on during an altercation they had in which Togaru was able to block a point-blank explosion from Katsuki.

Quirk
Razor Sharp: Togaru's Quirk allows him to produce large blades from any part of his body.

These blades are sharp and strong enough to cut through pipes made of steel and iron, and durable enough to withstand a point-blank explosion.
