Minoru Mineta

Minoru Mineta (峰田実, Mineta Minoru) is one of the protagonists of Boku no Hero Academia.

Appearance
Minoru is very tiny and has hair shaped like a grape fruit.

Personality
He's a bit perverted and cowardly, but in all a nice guy.

Rescue Trial Arc
Minoru evacuates with his class, but after one of the villains warp everyone to different areas of the Ultimate Space and Jams, Minoru end up in the flood area along with Izuku and Tsuyu. He is then saved by Tsuyu who throws him onto the boat. Minoru thinks that the villains would never be able to kill All Might and says that he will come to save the day. Tsuyu tells him that the villains wouldn't go through all this trouble if they didn't know how to kill him and that they would torture them to death, which frightens Minoru. After Izuku says that they have to fight to win, Minoru is surprised and shocked at his statement.

Minoru questions Izuku's decision to fight as their opponents are villains who could kill All Might saying that his idea is self-contradicting. He then suggests that their best decision is to wait for the Heroes of Yuuei to show up. After Minoru explains his Quirk, he gets a silent reaction from Izuku and Tsuyu, causing to wail about his Quirk not being suited to combat. When one of the villains split the boat in half, Minoru throws the grapes on his head in despair, which Izuku tells him to stop. After Izuku uses Delaware Smash on the water's surface, Minoru is grabbed by Tsuyu along with Izuku. He then begins throwing his sticky substance at the converging water. This causes the sticky substance to be converged with the villains, causing them to be stuck together by Minoru's Quirk, defeating them as they are unable to battle. Minoru then escapes with Izuku and Tsuyu, with Tsuyu telling him that he did a great job.

Quirk
Minoru's Quirk allows him to take the grapes off his head. These grapes are a super sticky substance (similar to super glue) which stick to anything and can stay sticky for as long as a whole day. Minoru is the only one immune to the grapes' stickyness and when he uses them, they simply bounce like a ball. If a grape is removed, a new will grow back to replace the one used.

A drawback to this Quirk is if Minoru uses too many of these grapes, he will start bleeding.
