Masaru Bakugo

Masaru Bakugo is Katsuki Bakugo's father and the husband of Mitsuki Bakugo.

Appearance
Masaru is a middle-aged man of average height and build who has short brown hair similar in style to his wife and son, a short mustache and rectangular glasses.

Personality
Compared to his hotheaded wife and son, Masaru seems to be more of a calm person who is less prone to violence. He had shown to be unsettled by their bickering while Katsuki’s teachers were present in their home.

However, he clearly loves his family very much and gets along well with his wife as he, too, does not approve of his son's arrogant attitude.

History
At some point, he met Mitsuki at a job and she aggressively hit on him which led to a relationship that progressed to them getting married. Sometime later, Masaru became the father to their son, Katsuki.

Hideout Raid Arc
Masaru tries to calm his arguing family down when Toshinori Yagi and Shota Aizawa arrive. After calming down, Mitsuki notes that Katsuki's rashness along with his gifted abilities, has resulted in him being pampered and getting shallow praise for what he has which has resulted in his arrogant nature. However, Mitsuki is happy that Shota sees her son for who he is instead of his gifted abilities. She once again agrees to leave Katsuki in U.A. High School's care since her son returned home safe and sound thanks to the Pro Heroes and asks Shota to make her son into a fine hero.

U.A. Traitor Arc
In the aftermath of the Paranormal Liberation War, the Bakugo's are among the civilians escorted to U.A. to reside for safety. After about a month, the Heroes begin their plan to take on the Villains, leading the students of Class 1-A to give their thanks to everyone, with them all ready to head back out. The students say their goodbyes to everyone, with Katsuki saying goodbye to his family members, though Mitsuki was very persistent over his cocky attitude, much to his annoyance.

Final War Arc
As the fighting in the Final War commenced, Masaru and his wife continued to stay at the evacuation shelter. Mitsuki notices that the cumulonimbus storm has started growing over Japan and continues to expand, combined with the tropical typhoon that begins to pick up massive wind speeds. She comments how much Katsuki does not like the rain, wondering what he will do next, unaware of their son's near demise at the hands of Tomura Shigaraki. Luckily Katsuki survived and proceeded to battle All For One, with the fight being broadcast all over the world. Mitsuki points out the battle on the screen, and Masaru is too afraid to see, turning away, but Mitsuki tells him they have to watch the fight for their son's sake, because their kid must be out there grinning like he always does.

Quirk
Acid Sweat: Masaru's Quirk allows him to secrete acidic sweat with combustive properties from the palms of his hands. Unlike his son however, he cannot forcibly secrete it, and it comes out like normal sweat. If he rubs his hands together, then he can create explosions.

Trivia

 * He likes classical music.
 * Masaru's own name means "victory."
 * Masaru shares the same kanji as his son, being "勝" (Katsu).
