Don't let yourself be motivated by personal grudges. We heroes don't have the authority to make arrests or dole out punishment. It's only because of advances in Quirk regulation that we can use our Quirks at all. But vigilantism is strictly against the rules. And if you're caught going off on your own, that's considered a major crime.
Masaki Mizushima (水島正規,Mizushima Masaki?),[1] also known as Normal Hero: Manual (ノーマルヒーロー マニュアル,Nōmaru Hīrō Manyuaru?), is the current No. 222Pro Hero.[3] He is based out of Hosu City.
Masaki is a man with messy brown hair and black eyes. His hero costume consists of a blue and white, skin-tight, long-sleeved shirt that tucks into his orange gloves. He wears dark pants, white boots, and sports a signature helmet that features a fish-like fin and blue visor.
Personality[]
Manual has a very kind, attentive and ordinary personality. He has an inspiring attitude, as he wants to become a role model for all modern heroes and can complete any tasks simply. In the extras, it is revealed that Manual chose Tenya Ida because he feels similar to Tenya.[1] He also has a very keen mind and could figure out the reason that Tenya chose his office was to find Hero Killer: Stain.[4]
Abilities[]
Quirk[]
Unnamed Water Quirk: Masaki's Quirk allows him to control pre-existing water. This power has a weakness to air pressure, which causes him to lose some control of the water which he is manipulating.[5]
Kohei Horikoshi states that he likes drawing Manual despite him being a side character.
Manual's profile implies that his hero name is secretly self-deprecating.
His surname, Mizushima, is comprised of the kanji for "water" (水,mizu?) and "island" (島,shima?). His first name, Masaki, means "correct/justice" (正,masa?) and "standard/measure" (規,ki?), which can also be collectively read as the term for "normal/regular" (正規,seiki?).
Masaki shares his Japanese and English voice actors with other characters.
