Yokumiru Mera (
Contents
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.
Synopsis
Provisional Hero License Exam Arc
Yokumiru Mera is in charge of supervising the Provisional Hero License Exam. He begins by telling to 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.[3]
When the first test begins, Mera 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.
