Fumikage Tokoyami

Fumikage Tokoyami (常闇踏陰) is a student at Yuuei training to become a Pro Hero.

Appearance
Fumikage is a relatively short person with a crow-shaped head, red eyes, red neck, and human teeth.

His hero costume consists mostly of a dark cape and dark clothes that cover his whole body.

Personality
Though he does not talk very much, he has been shown directly ignoring questions or requests that seem in some way pointless (like Tenya asking him to not sit on the desk) while he talks to other people as some sort of ongoing joke. Fumikage has shown to be a very serious and focused person. While he is teamed up with other people, he becomes more sociable, helping his teammates out, reassuring his trust in them and thanking them for their effort.

Ultimate Space & Jams Arc
Fumikage is warped by Black Mist to the Downpour Storm Zone along with Kouji. Their battle isn't seen, but they apparently defeat the villains that were in the area and afterwards, he is seen with his class after the battle with the Villain Alliance is over.

Sports Festival Arc
During the Obstacle Race, Fumikage avoids Shouto's ice with his Quirk and proceeds onwards. He and Hanta use their Quirk to climb over the Robo Infernos to get to the next area by following Katsuki's advance. He eventually manages to finish the Obstacle Race, placing seventh, allowing him to participate in the next event, the Human Cavalry Battle. Fumikage teams up with Izuku Midoriya, Ochako Uraraka and Mei Hatsume for the Human Cavalry Battle and became the head of the horse, with his Shadow Monster following ahead. The event begins and Fumikage along with his teammates are about to be assaulted by Tetsutetsu's team and Tooru's team. Fumikage and his team try to escape, but they find themselves stuck in Juuzou's Quirk. Izuku tells Ochako and Mei to look away and uses the jetpack that Mei gave to him earlier, allowing him and his teammates to escape into the air. Kyouka attacks them while they were in mid air, but Fumikage uses his Dark Shadow to defend his team. He tells Dark Shadow to always watch over their blind spot. Izuku praises Fumikage's Quirk for being such a defensive bulwark. Fumikage and his teammates land safely thanks to Ochako's Quirk and Mei's equipment. Then, Fumikage and his teammates are attacked again by Tetsutetsu and his team which Fumikage uses his Dark Shadow to defend them from. Suddenly, Fumikage and his team are attacked by Mezou and his team. Outnumbered, Izuku decides to escape by flying into the air, but they are suddenly attacked by Katsuki Bakugou. Izuku warns Fumikage about the impending danger which Fumikage responds to by having his Dark Shadow block Katsuki's Explosion. After landing again, Fumikage and his team are confronted by Shouto's team. Denki unleashes a large amount of electricity which Fumikage's Dark Shadow protects them from. Afterwards, Fumikage tries to attack Shouto with Dark Shadow but Momo uses her Quirk to block Dark Shadow's attack. Fumikage then warns Izuku about Dark Shadow's weakness and says that his Dark Shadow's attack power becomes very weak due to the light emanating from Denki's electricity. Izuku then reformulates his strategy thanks to Fumikage's information. The battle between the two teams continues with Fumikage's team holding their ground. However, Tenya uses his new move Recipro Burst which allows Shouto to snatch Izuku's 10 million headband in an instant, which surprises Fumikage. As Izuku orders his team to after them, Fumikage advises that they go after another team, but Izuku replies that he doesn't know the point distribution of the other teams. After Ochako encourages Izuku to get back the 10 million point headband, Fumikage and his team attack Shouto's team in one final clash. Izuku manages to take Shouto's headband (thinking it is the ten million point one) However, Izuku is shocked to see that the headband he took is not the ten million headband and it is instead a seventy point headband. For the last ten seconds, Fumikage and his team try to attack Shouto's team again, with Fumikage using his Dark Shadow to protect his team from Denki's electricity, but the ten seconds are up and the Human Cavalry Battle ends. Izuku tries to apologize to his team, but Fumikage interjects, stating that like him he wanted to take back the ten million headband but says that they will have to settle for the headband he took. Fumikage's Dark Shadow is revealed to have a 615 point headband in its mouth, with Fumikage saying that he took this headband from where Shouto's guard was at its weakest; the one on his head when Izuku attacked Shouto; Fumikage then says that this action was possible thanks to Izuku creating an opening at the last second. Thanks to Fumikage's and Izuku's action, Fumikage and his team place fourth, allowing them to advance and participate in the final event. The final event is a tournament event and Fumikage's opponent in the first round is Momo Yaoyorozu. During the recreational events, Fumikage is seen relaxing on a tree branch.

Fumikage faces his opponent, Momo, in his first round match. Fumikage manages to defeat Momo by striking first and making sure she was unable to use any of the creations she prepared, making him the winner and allowing him to move on to the next round.

Fumikage sits next to Ochako and Tenya before the match between Izuku and Shouto begins. As Ochako sits down, Fumikage comments that instead of lamenting over what can't be changed, one should rather take inspiration from their battles, to which Ochako agrees with. Fumikage watches the battle between Izuku and Shouto.

Fumikage faces his opponent, Mina, in his second round match. Fumikage defeats Mina and moves on to the third round (the semi-finals). Fumikage faces his opponent, Katsuki, in his third round match. Unlike his previous matches, Fumikage is at a major disadvantage and is forced to go completely on the defensive due to the light from Katsuki's Explosions weakening Dark Shadow and that Dark Shadow hasn't fully replenished its strength. Even worse, Katsuki's fierce fighting style prevents Fumikage from countering. Despite this, Fumikage does manage to keep Katsuki at bay. Katsuki attacks Fumikage's Dark Shadow with multiple Explosions. Fumikage notes that he underestimated Katsuki and that Dark Shadow's energy is running low, Katsuki jumps into the air and lands another Explosion on Dark Shadow. Fumikage orders Dark Shadow to grab Katsuki, but Katsuki stops Dark Shadow from carrying out its order with an Explosion and leaps over Dark Shadow, landing behind Fumikage. Fumikage has Dark Shadow protect his back but Katsuki uses his move Stun Grenade before Dark Shadow can protect Fumikage. Thus, Fumikage and Dark Shadow are hit and injured by Katsuki's Stun Grenade. After the smoke clears, an injured Fumikage is on the ground with Katsuki pinning him down. Katsuki tells Fumikage that it's his fault for telling people about Dark Shadow's weakness but admits that it wasn't a fair matchup to begin with. Although he can still get up and fight, Fumikage, knowing that he is at a disadvantage due to Katsuki's Explosions and that Dark Shadow cannot fight properly due to having no strength left, surrenders. Fumikage's surrender causes him to be eliminated from the tournament event.

Fumikage later appears at the closing ceremony of Yuuei's Sports Festival waiting on the podium to receive his third place award. Fumikage notes that the restrained Katsuki looks as if he's ready to bite everyone's head off. Then, All Might arrives to give the winners their medals. All Might gives Fumikage his medal, congratulating Fumikage on his third place achievement. Fumikage thanks him in return, saying his words are too kind. All Might gives Fumikage a congratulatory hug and pat on the back, telling Fumikage that in order to defeat his problem at unfavorable matchups he shouldn't always rely on his Quirk and advises Fumikage to increase his own strength so that he can have a better chance at unfavorable matchups, to which Fumikage says he will comply.

After the closing ceremony of Yuuei's Sports Festival is finished, Fumikage along with the rest of his class are given two off days from school.

Field Training Arc
Two days after the Sports Festival, Fumikage is in class. During the Hero Informatics Period, Shouta reveals the Pro Hero nominations. Fumikage received 360 Pro Hero nominations which is the third highest. Afterwards the Class 1-A has to decide on potential Hero names. Fumikage writes down and shows his classmates his Hero name. The Hero name Fumikage chose is Tsukuyomi (The Jet Black Hero).

After Class 1-A is finished formulating their Hero names, Fumikage is given his personalized work place list in order to choose a work place that he wants to train at. Afterwards, Fumikage closes his eyes and starts thinking about the work place he wants to train at.

On the day of the workplace training, Fumikage is at the train station with his class so that he can travel to the work place of his choice by train.

The workplace training comes to an end and Fumikage returns to Yuuei.

After Foundational Hero Studies is finished, Fumikage is seen in the boys' locker room.

End of Term Test Arc
In Class 1-A, everyone is talking about the end of term test; Denki and Mina admit that they haven't been studying due to the many events that have taken place throughout the semester, to which Fumikage agrees (admitting that he hasn't studied much either as shown with his low grade). After Katsuki storms out of the class, Fumikage notes that animosity is getting to Katsuki. On the day of the exercise test, Mr Principal reveals that Class 1-A will be fighting against Yuuei's teachers for their exercise test. Fumikage is paired with Tsuyu and they must face Ectoplasm in their test exercise.

Fumikage, Tsuyu and Ectoplasm arrive in an uninhabited city where Class 1-A's test exercise will take place. In one of the city's buildings, Ectoplasm explains the 30-minute test; Fumikage and Tsuyu must either handcuff him or one of them must escape the battlefield within 30 minutes in order to win and pass the test. Tsuyu tells Fumikage that Ectoplasm must be ambushing their designated exit. The test begins; Ectoplasm multiplies and creates four clones of himself that surround Fumikage and Tsuyu. Seeing that they are at a disadvantage, Fumikage orders Dark Shadow to throw Tsuyu onto the next floor which it does. Tsuyu grabs Fumikage with her long tongue and throws him onto the next floor as well. Ectoplasm comments on their nice synergy.

The fight between Fumikage and Tsuyu against Ectoplasm continues with Fumikage being overwhelmed by the sheer number of Ectoplasm's clones. Suddenly, one of Ectoplasm's clones appear before Fumikage. However, Tsuyu smacks it away with her tongue. Fumikage and Tsuyu manage to make it past Ectoplasm's clones and reach the vicinity of the escape gate where the real Ectoplasm is waiting. Ectoplasm compliments the duo for outrunning his clones but asks them if they can deal with his next attack. Ectoplasm uses Forced Internment Giant Bites, a move that creates a giant clone of himself. Fumikage and Tsuyu are unable to escape and the giant clone munches them which traps Fumikage and Tsuyu in its ectoplasm. Unable to do anything, Fumikage orders Dark Shadow to escape as it is now the only way they can obtain victory. Dark Shadow proceeds to the escape gate, but Ectoplasm kicks Dark Shadow away. Tsuyu comes up with a plan and decides to regurgitate something, telling Fumikage to not look so that Ectoplasm does not notice them. Dark Shadow struggles against Ectoplasm. Fumikage recalls Dark Shadow to collect the item Tsuyu has; Dark Shadow collects the item and goes back to fight Ectoplasm. Dark Shadow attacks Ectoplasm with its claw while Ectoplasm blocks it with his kick. However, Ectoplasm's leg is chained by a handcuff; Tsuyu explains that she regurgitated a handcuff since her stomach can store and eject objects and gave it to Dark Shadow so that it could handcuff Ectoplasm with its claw. As a result of Ectoplasm being handcuffed by Fumikage and Tsuyu's last desperate team strategy, they pass the practical exam.

Back in class at Yuuei, Fumikage learns that he passed the written test and will go to the forest lodge along with the rest of his classmates. Fumikage along with his class go to Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall to buy necessities for the forest lodge. At the shopping mall, Fumikage advises Izuku to not analyze publicly as it could scare small children.

School Trip Arc
The next day after the shopping trip, at Yuuei, Shouta informs Class 1-A that the destination for their lodge trip has been changed and the new destination will only be announced on the day of the event. The first semester has come to a close and summer break has begun.

On the day of the event, Class 1-A boards a bus that will take them to the forest lodge destination. An hour later, Class 1-A’s bus stops for a restroom break. However, Class 1-A notes that Class 1-B isn’t at the rest stop. Suddenly, two females wearing cat-like costumes and a small boy appear; the females excitedly introduce themselves as the professional Hero Team, The Pussycats. The black haired female explains to Class 1-A that they will be staying at the base of a mountain which is a part of their domain; they have three hours to reach the base of the mountain using their Quirks as they please and those who don’t arrive there by 12:30 pm won’t be served lunch. Soon, Class 1-A realize that they have already arrived at their destination and their training camp has already begun with the Pussycats being their supervisors. Some of Class 1-A try to leave, but Pixiebob uses her Quirk to create a landslide of dirt that causes Class 1-A to fall into a forest called Forest of Magic Beasts, which they must traverse to reach their destination. Suddenly, Class 1-A are confronted by a beast; Kouji tries using his Quirk to control the beast but it does not work due to the beast being made out of dirt. Izuku, Shouto, Tenya and Katsuki mobilize and use their Quirks to destroy the dirt beast.

After Izuku, Tenya, Shouto and Katsuki destroy the dirt beast, Class 1-A begins traversing the Forest of Magic Beasts. However, the journey through the forest to the Cabin takes around about 8 hours. Class 1-A arrive at the facility, battered and tired. It is now 5:20 pm in the evening. Pixiebob admits that she thought they would take longer to get to the facility; she praises Class 1-A for figuring out her Earth Beasts quickly and easily.

Class 1-A fetch their luggage from the bus and put it in their rooms. Class 1-A go to the dining hall to have dinner. After finishing eating dinner, Class 1-A go to the hot springs. The next day at 5:30 AM, Class 1-A are outside the training camp cabin. Shouta greets his students and tells them that they will undergo reinforcement training to strengthen and upgrade their Quirks which will also allow Class 1-A to obtain their temporary licenses.

Fumikage along with his class undergo training to improve their Quirks.

On the night of the third day of training, Fumikage is paired with Mezou for the test of courage. During the test of courage, the League of Villains Vanguard Action Squad begin their attack by filling the forest with poisonous gas. One of the villains part of the squad called Moon Fish ambushes Fumikage and Mezou. Mezou covers for Fumikage but loses one of his tentacles in the process. They manage to retreat from Moon Fish. However, the ambush causes Fumikage to lose control of his Quirk.

Fumikage has been restrained by Dark Shadow, who is now larger and more ferocious due to the power of darkness. Dark Shadow's claw tears through the forest and almost attacks Izuku, who is saved by Mezou. The empowered and berserk Dark Shadow begins taking control of Fumikage’s body. Struggling, Fumikage pleads Izuku and Mezou to run away from him otherwise they will die. Izuku watches in shock. The rampaging Dark Shadow attacks and destroys several trees around it. Dark Shadow attacks Mezou and Izuku, but Mezou is able to dodge in the nick of time. Fumikage pleads Mezou and Izuku to save the others and forget about him; he tries controlling the rampaging Dark Shadow but to no avail as he starts becoming immobile as a result of Dark Shadow's greater control over him. Izuku and Mezou manage to lure the rampaging Dark Shadow to Katsuki and Shouto's location. When Moonfish tries attack Izuku and Mezou, the rampaging Dark Shadow appears and uses its enormous claw to crush Moonfish, destroying Moonfish’s teeth and injuring him. Shouto and Katsuki are surprised at what happened.

However, Moonfish gets back up using his teeth and is enraged, shouting that only he is allowed to harm the kids. Moonfish attacks the rampaging Dark Shadow with his teeth, but Dark Shadow is not affected or even harmed by Moonfish's counter attack. Dark Shadow grabs Moonfish and smashes him through several trees, which heavily injures Moonfish and incapacitates him. Dark Shadow throws the incapacitated Moonfish aside. With Moonfish defeated, Katsuki and Shouto manage to get close to Fumikage and use their Quirks, which calms down Dark Shadow; Dark Shadow reduces in size and retracts back into Fumikage, allowing Fumikage to regain his mental and physical mobility.

Now back in control, Fumikage thanks Katsuki and Shouto for saving him. Mezou is glad that Fumikage is fine. However, Fumikage is regretful that he couldn’t conceal his anger when Mezou lost one of his arms, which caused him to release Dark Shadow out of anger and lose control due to being enraged and spurred on by Dark Shadow’s own rage. Fumikage is guilty for harming Mezou; Mezou tells Fumikage that he doesn’t need to feel guilty.

Izuku tells Fumikage that their top priority is to protect Katsuki, who is the target of the villains’. Izuku decides that they should escort Katsuki back to the facility and take a shortcut through the forest todo so; Izuku thinks that with the power of Mezou’s scouting capabilities,Shouto’s powerful Quirk and the unrivalled power of Fumikage’s Dark Shadow, escorting Katsuki will be a cinch. However, Katsuki is angry that he needs protecting and refuses their help. The Bakugou Escort Squad (consisting of Mezou, Shouto, Izuku and Fumikage) begin escorting a begrudging Katsuki back to the facility.

The Bakugou Escort Team travels to the facility and comes across Ochako and Tsuyu. When Ochako and Tsuyu notice that Katsuki is not with them, Izuku, Mezou and Shouto turn around and see that not only Katsuki has disappeared but Fumikage as well.

Quirk and Abilities
Dark Shadow: Fumikage's body is host to a shadow like-monster that he can materialize from his body and contract it back into his body freely. Fumikage can use the shadow-like monster for a number of purposes, such as attack, defense and support. This shadow-like monster has shown to be sentient. The shadow-like monster has an energy limit and when it runs out, the shadow like monster will retract back into Fumikage. According to Mezou, Fumikage's negative emotions (such as regret and indignation) probably intensify Dark Shadow, making it more unruly and possibly making Dark Shadow stronger as a result, albeit at the cost of Fumikage losing control; Fumikage himself stated that his anger causes him to lose control of Dark Shadow.

The personality, strength, defense and control of the shadow-like monster depends on darkness and light:

Under the power of light, Dark Shadow is weaker but despite this, it still has extraordinary defensive skills as it was able to completely block Katsuki's Explosion without suffering any damage and was able to block Denki's electricity (despite having weaknesses to them due to the light they produce). Dark Shadow's personality under light is docile, allowing Fumikage to control it with ease.

Under the power of darkness, Dark Shadow becomes far larger, ferocious and as a result far more powerful than its daylight counterpart. One of Dark Shadow's claws was able to rip through multiple trees with ease when trying to attack Izuku and Moonfish; Dark Shadow's physical strength is immense as it was able to defeat and overpower Moonfish with ease, a veteran villain and completely shatter his sturdy weapon-like teeth in the process. Dark Shadow's defense is also impressive as Moonfish's Quirk didn't harm it. Dark Shadow's personality completely changes when surrounded by darkness, becoming more unruly, vicious and attacks indiscriminately, striking anything that moves or makes sound. It appears keeping Dark Shadow under control during the night where darkness is most prominent is a great struggle for Fumikage as it requires all his focus; negative emotions also attributes in Fumikage's loss of control over Dark Shadow. Once Fumikage loses control, Dark Shadow starts enveloping Fumikage's body with its darkness and takes control over its host, with Fumikage slowly becoming immobile both physically and mentally. After taking over Fumikage, Dark Shadow uses its immobile host to move around. Despite having enormous strength under the power of darkness, Dark Shadow is still susceptible to light; Fumikage can regain control once Dark Shadow is affected by light as shown when Shouto and Katsuki used their Quirks against Dark Shadow, causing it to shrink and retract into its host and in the process causes Fumikage to become mentally and physically mobile again, along with Fumikage's control of Dark Shadow returning to normal.

Notable Combat Skills: Fumikage is said to be one of the strongest members in Class 1-A. He was able to defeat Momo Yaoyorozu (a person who was accepted into Yuuei through official recommendations). Izuku Midoriya remarked that Fumikage is one of the strongest people when it come to one-on-one battles. Fumikage has shown to be strategical, as he ordered his Dark Shadow to guard his team's blind spot during the Human Cavalry Battle and grabbed one of Shouto's headbands when the opportunity arose. Fumikage managed to hold off Katsuki Bakugou for some time, one of the strongest members in Class 1-A, despite having a Quirk type disadvantage. All Might himself acknowledged Fumikage's strength and gave advice to him on how to improve. Shouto Todoroki was amazed with Fumikage's strength after witnessing his Dark Shadow pulverize and defeat Moonfish, a villain that kept him on the defensive.
