Crimson Riot

Crimson Riot (紅頬権斗) is a Pro Hero and also is the idol and inspiration of Eijiro Kirishima, whose hero name, Red Riot, pays homage to the pro.

Appearance
Crimson Riot is a sturdy man with spiky red hair, jutting forewards in one place and backwards in two.

He wears a metal three-piece mask over his mouth and nose, and a crimson outfit with a long red cape, the collar very high and wide and the edges ripped.

Personality
Crimson Riot seems to be a hero with a very strong will who believes that willpower is more important than one's Quirk, stating, "As long as you have a manly spirit, it doesn't matter what kind of Quirk you have."

Crimson Riot is haunted by an incident early in his career where his momentary hesitation leads to civilian deaths. As a result of this traumatic experience, Crimson Riot became more fearful of watching innocent people die than of dying himself. Ironically, heroics fueled by this fear gave him a reputation as a fearless hero who always charged headfirst into danger without hesitation.

Vs. Hero Killer Arc
When Class 1-A selects their hero names, Eijiro Kirishima chooses the name "Red Riot". Midnight notices the similarities between Eijiro and the Pro Hero, and Eijiro states that the name pays homage. Eijiro mentions that although he was old school, Crimson Riot was a man among heroes.

Quirk
Unnamed Hardening Quirk: Crimson Riot possesses a hardening Quirk, giving his already horn-shaped hair an even greater resemblance. The hardening darkens the effected area.
