Kamui Woods to the Giant Villain in "Izuku Midoriya: Origin"

Shinji Nishiya (西 (にし) () (しん) () Nishiya Shinji?),[3] also known by his hero name, Kamui Woods (シンリンカムイ Shinrin Kamui?), is the No. 7 Pro Hero and member of The Lurkers.

Appearance[]

Shinji is a young man with a rather muscular build, standing relatively shorter than other high-ranked Pro Heroes. Underneath his helmet, he has puffy red leaf-like hair, though his face has remained unseen since he has only been shown while wearing his mask. His hero costume is a dark blue bodysuit that includes a wooden belt, wooden knee pads, and wooden shoes. A small bundle of roses hangs from the left side of his belt.

After he officially became the No. 7 Pro Hero, his costume was slightly modified, and he now has two wooden rings hanging on his shoulders, which have stumps and branches protruding from them.

Gallery[]

Personality[]

Shinji is a very serious and focused person when it comes to being a hero in his hero duties; however, he easily feels down when someone takes his glory or credit. At the same time, he also appears to be rather emotional, as when he was invited by Edgeshot to be part of The Lurkers, he cried in happiness for two hours.[5]

Abilities[]

Overall Abilities: Shinji has grown to be an incredibly strong hero during his career as a hero, earning him the spot at the No. 7 ranked hero on the JP Billboard Charts and became a popular hero. His skills have led some to believe that he will be a standout hero of the next generation.

Quirk[]

Arbor ( (じゅ) (もく) Jumoku?): Shinji's Quirk allows him to enlarge and control his wooden body parts into strong tree branches. These branches are excellent for binding. Being made of wood, this Quirk is at a disadvantage against fire.

Ultimate Moves[]

  • Lacquered Chain Prison ( (せん) (せい) (ひつ) (ばく) ウルシ () (ろう) Sensei Hitsubaku Urushi Sarō?): Shinji shoots out the wood from one of his arms and surrounds the enemy with it to immobilize them. This move is first used against an unnamed enemy.

Trivia[]

Kamui Woods Prototype

Prototype design.

  • Kamui (カムイ?) means "god" or "deity" (in the Ainu language) and Shinrin (森林?) means "woods", giving Shinji's hero name the meaning "God of the Woods".
  • Shinji's surname contains the kanji for "west" (西 nishi?) and "roof" ( ya?), and his chosen name means "forest, woods" ( shin?) and "child" ( ji?).
  • Shinji had a dark childhood that was later made into a popular documentary.[3]
  • He appears on Recovery Girl's Pez Dispenser.[6]
  • Shinji's Japanese voice actor, Masamichi Kitada, also voices Juzo Honenuki, Tensei Ida, and young Gran Torino.
  • Shinji likes nature therapy.[7]
  • Shinji's second Hero Costume has an inconsistency in the anime, due to the initial upgrade being cut from his Hero Billboard Chart appearance and updated during the Endeavor Agency Arc, so he still wears his old one during World Heroes' Mission despite those events taking place after the arc.
  • Shinji is the highest ranking hero in Japan who didn't suffer any kind of notable injury during the war against the League of Villains and the Paranormal Liberation Front. Crust was killed, Endeavor was left unable to walk, Hawks' Quirk was stolen, Best Jeanist lost a lung, Mirko lost a leg, and Edgeshot sacrificed a significant amount of his life force to revive Katsuki.
