Present Mic

Hizashi Yamada (山やま田だひざし Yamada Hizashi), also known as Voice Hero: Present Mic (プレゼント・マイク Purezento Maiku?), is the current No. 42 Pro Hero, and an English teacher at U.A. High School. At first, Hizashi was supposed to be just a fat old man that would do announcements, but Kohei Horikoshi thought it was boring, so he went for a high-tension guy instead. The word "HAGE" on his headphones means "Baldness" in Japanese, which may be a nod back to his original design as an old man. Present Mic has a radio show called "Put Your Hands Up Radio" where he broadcasts nonstop music every Friday night. The show runs from 1AM until 5AM on HERO FM. Voice (ヴォイス): Hizashi's Quirk allows him to increase the volume of his voice, giving him an ability that is similar to a sonic scream. The sound from Hizashi's Quirk is strong enough to cause people's ears to bleed from far away. The only known weakness of this Quirk is that the loud sounds do not travel well underground, making this Quirk ineffective against anything that is underground or separated from him by layers of earth.
