Yokumiru Mera

Yokumiru Mera is a worker for the Hero Public Safety Commission.

He is currently the acting president of the HPSC following the original president's death during the Paranormal Liberation Front's attack on the Commission headquarters.

Appearance
Yokumiru is a lanky middle aged man with beige, chin length, messy hair. He is dressed in a formal black shirt with a white undershirt, his shirt is followed with equally black pants. He wears a loose tie and black shoes. He completes his look with a microphone for general speeches and commentating.

His eyes are framed with small but noticeable bags caused by lack of sleep.

Personality
Yokumiru suffers from sleep deprivation due to overworking, something that he tends to complain about frequently. This leads to him having a blasé and an unenthusiastic attitude while working. He had shown to be very disinterested during the Provisional Hero License Exam, and was only looking forward to the end of the exam where he could finally get some rest.

Despite this however, he can also be quite inspirational at times, such as when he gave a speech about the next generation of heroes having to take the mantle from their superiors at the end of the Provisional Hero License Exam. He also gave the students who failed hope at still gaining their licenses through remedial courses.

Provisional Hero License Exam Arc
Yokumiru Mera is in charge of supervising the Provisional Hero License Exam. He begins by telling all the examinees inside Takoba National Stadium how tired he is and how the Commission is understaffed. Yokumiru then explains that the exam is a free for all and how the first challenge works, only the first 100 students out of the 1540 gathered to take the exam who complete the first test will move onto the next one.

When the first test begins, Yokumiru is in charge of commenting on its development, announcing when an examiner passes. Shortly after starting, he receives the report that Inasa Yoarashi is the first examiner to pass after eliminating 120 examinees alone in an instant. Yokumiru is so shocked by this feat that he wakes up from his drowsiness.

In the end, Yokumiru shows the examinees their results and commends their effort, but reminds them that the licenses they have are only provisional and that they still a lot of work ahead of them. He also gives those who failed the second phase another chance at getting their Provisional Hero Licenses through a remedial course, unless they would rather take the exam again the following year in April.

Remedial Course Arc
Yokumiru is placed in charge of supervising the Remedial Exam alongside Gang Orca, who is acting as instructor to the examinees. The remedial takes place inside a sports center rented for the occasion, Yokumiru and Gang Orca also decide to make the test more "interesting".

Yokumiru addresses the 10 trainees and announces that he's still sleep deprived, while also introducing Camie Utsushimi, who they decided to allow take the remedial due to her being impersonated during the licensing exam, though he chalks this up to her having "foggy memories" of the event. Yokumiru then introduces Gang Orca and the remedial starts, although Present Mic (and later Seiji Shishikura) takes over to commentate. He then supervises the rest of the exam while Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki, Inasa, and Camie face the young students of Masegaki Primary School.

My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising
In need of forming heroes as soon as possible due to the increase in villainous activity, the commission creates the Hero Work Recommendation Project. Yokumiru is in charge of informing the U.A. High School of this new program, meeting with Nezu and All Might.

Paranormal Liberation War Arc
While the heroes carried out a raid on the Paranormal Liberation Front, Yokumiru Mera is in the Hero Public Safety Commission main building to participate in a meeting with Rikiya Yotsubashi. The Commission has always had an eye on him since the Deika incident, being aware of his affiliation to the PLF and planning to arrest him. Rikiya accepted the invitation, but the one who met them was not him but a double of his. The president and Yokumiru arrived and greeted the man alongside several commission agents, who quickly turned their guns on Rikiya as Heroes arrived from the outside preparing to apprehend him. However, the double unleashed his Meta Ability and retaliated on the host, damaging the building, killing and injuring several agents and heroes, before dissolving away from his injuries.

Yokumiru is one of those who ended up injured. He held the body of the president, who died in the attack.

Final War Arc
As the Heroes plan their final battle against All For One and the Paranormal Liberation Front, Nezu reveals that Yokumiru is the current HPSC president due to the death of the former president. They also get permission from him for Hitoshi Shinso to be a part of their plan due to the young man not having a Provisional Hero License.
