History
When Izuku was born, he had no Quirk. He always loved watching superheroes fight and wanted to be like the hero All Might. He got bullied at school by Katsuki Bakugou for wanting to be a hero one and everyone knowing he doesn't have a Quirk. Izuku and his mother went to the doctors where they told him that he couldn't have a Quirk. He couldn't have on because he had 2 joints in his toes. This means he couldn't have one at all. Though this revelation was sad for him, he still believed he could become a hero.

When Izuku was walking home one today he was attacked by a villain. All Might then shows up and saves him. Izuku then makes him sign his notebook and grabs All Might's leg while he's flying away. They land on a rooftop and Izuku asks him if he could become a hero without and individuality. He tells gim that he always wanted to be a hero and save people. Suddenly All Might changes in his skinny and sickly normal self. He then tells him how bad is messed up and that he can only be a hero 3 hours out of the day. All Might then sees a villain attacking from a distance. Izuku recognizes Katsuki Bakugou and runs into save him for the villain. He goes to grab him, but All Might gets to him first and uses Detroit Smash on the villain. Katsuki gets mad that he saved him and walks away. All Might then came to thank him and offer him the chance to become a hero.

All Might tells Izuku he's worthy to inherit his strength and that he has the power to transfer his Quirk to people. All Might then begins to train him at the Seaside Park by moving garbage around.

Trivia

 * Izuku's nickname, "Deku", was given to him by Bakugou when they were little. "Deku" is another reading of his name 出久, and Bakugou uses it to mock Izuku, as "Deku" can mean "the one who can't achieve/do anything". Later, Ochako finds the nickname very inspiring because "Deku" gives off a feeling of "I can do it".
 * Izuku's favorite food is Katsudon.
