Shinji Nishiya

Shinji Nishiya, also known as the hero Kamui Woods (シンリンカムイ), is the No. 7 Pro Hero.

Appearance
Kamui Woods's' face is unknown since he has only been shown wearing his Hero Costume, a blue unitard with a wood helmet, wooden gloves that reach his biceps, a wooden belt, wooden knee pads, and wooden shoes. A small rose veil hangs from the left side of his belt.

After he officially became the No. 7 Pro Hero, his costume was slightly modified, and he now has two wooden rings hanging on his shoulder, which have stumps and branches protruding from them.

No one knows what Kamui, or Shinki Nishiya really looks like under his costume since the anime and manga have never shown what he really looks like before.
