Shut up... You're all freaking nuts... Calling yourselves 'heroes' or 'villains' and going around killing each other like idiots. Talking about your Quirks all the time... all just to show off. Idiots.Kota Izumi to Izuku Midoriya in "Day Two"
Kota Izumi (
Contents
Appearance
Kota is a small boy with short spiky black hair who stands at a height comparable to Minoru Mineta. His style of clothing consists of a short-sleeved collared shirt with buttons, and dark shorts. In the colder months, he is seen wearing a sweatshirt with a hood. He also wears a red hat with two golden spike-shaped horns on the front.
He used to wear black boots, but after Izuku Midoriya saved him from the villain, Muscular, he starts wearing red hightop sneakers that are very similar to Izuku's own.

Personality
Prior to the death of his parents, Kota was a very happy boy who loved his parents.
After the deaths of his parents, Kota became a reserved, cold, and grumpy misanthrope who hates being around those who desire to become heroes. So much so, that he punched Izuku in the groin the moment they met. Kota also doesn't seem to be a fan of indecency. This is shown when he stops Minoru from peeping on the girl's hot spring by throwing him from the top of the wall.[1]

Kota detested anything hero-related.
Due to the premature deaths of both his parents, Kota had a cynical and jaded view of heroes. He believed that his parents abandoned him by choosing to work as Pro Heroes.
Kota detested not only heroes but villains, Quirks, and the current superhuman society in general as well. Kota views heroes and villains killing one another with their "corny powers" as just shows of strength for popularity's sake. To Kota, this conflict is what caused misery in the world.
Since being rescued by Izuku, Kota understands why heroes exist. Kota recognizes that Izuku risked his life and took a significant injury in a fight for someone he didn't know at all. Izuku showed him what it's like to be a real hero.
Kota has slowly begun to open himself up to others, though he is still rather indifferent and prideful since he became very embarrassed when it was revealed he chose red shoes just like Izuku.
