Yoichi Shigaraki

Yoichi Shigaraki was the younger brother of All For One, as well as the first user and originator of the One For All Quirk.

He was presumed to be Quirkless and could only watch as his brother committed atrocities. When his brother decided to forcefully implant a Quirk within him, it was discovered that he really did have a Quirk, one with no other power than that it could be transferred to others. The merging of the two Quirks resulted in the creation of "One For All".

Due to being physically weak, he was unable to make effective use of his new power. So instead, he decided to pass this Quirk down to his successor, hoping one day it will grow strong enough to stop his brother.

Appearance
Yoichi was a young man with a sickly and malnourished appearance and a weak body. He had white, messy hair similar to Tomura Shigaraki, reaching to about his shoulders, and his bangs usually obscures his bright green eyes, given him a rather creepy look.

From what it can see in the flashbacks, he used to dress in simple clothes, wearing a white shirt and dark pants. He would occasionally be seen wearing a light blue jacket.

Personality
Despite his weak body, he was recognized for having a strong sense of justice, which came into direct conflict with the ambition and megalomania of his older brother. This feeling made him refuse to submit to All For One, despite his constant attempts to convince him to desist from his ridiculous idealism.

He had strong willpower to continued to oppose his extremely powerful brother, even with his weak and fragile constitution. Aside from his strained relationship with his brother, Yoichi is a friendly person, implied to have a good relationship with all his successors. He holds Izuku Midoriya in high regard, impressed by his conviction to help people in distress, and often voices his support for the younger hero.

Abilities
Mental Fortitude: Yoichi had a strong sense of justice and was willing to stand against his evil older brother, despite his own weak body and his brother amassing a large collection of powerful Quirks and loyal followers. Even after All For One forced a Quirk on him and locked him up, Yoichi still longed to rid the world of his brother's evil. Several decades later, when All For One and Tomura Shigaraki tried to steal One For All from Izuku, Yoichi and Nana resisted them in the vestuge world. Even Tomura Shigaraki was stunned by Yoichi's willpower which expelled the villains from the vestige world, thwarting their attempt to steal One For All.

Quirks
One For All (ワン・フォー・オール): When All For One forcibly implanted a power stockpiling Quirk within him, it merged with his own Quirk, which had no other power than that it could be transferred to someone else, creating One for All. Due to his sickly state, he was unable to make good use of the stockpiling power and instead decided to pass it on to other people in hopes that his new Quirk would get stronger over time.
 * Unnamed Transference Quirk: Yoichi's original Quirk allowed him to transfer his Quirk to another person. Aside from this, the Quirk itself had no other ability and appeared to lay inactive, leading to the belief that Yoichi was Quirkless.
 * Unnamed Power Stockpiling Quirk: Under the false pretense that his brother was Quirkless, All For One forcibly gave his brother a Quirk that allowed him to stockpile power. All For One stated that it was a Quirk that even Yoichi's weak body could handle.
