Eijiro Kirishima, also known as the Sturdy Hero: Red Riot, is a key, hot-blooded student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School in My Hero Academia. He specializes in close-combat, using his Hardening Quirk to solidify his body for defense and offense. Known for his chivalrous, "manly" personality, he is best friends with Katsuki Bakugo and admires the hero Crimson Riot.
Key Aspects of Eijiro Kirishima
Quirk - Hardening: Allows Kirishima to harden any part of his body, granting enhanced strength, durability, and resistance to impacts and heat.
Ultimate Move - Red Riot Unbreakable: A form that makes him almost entirely indestructible for 30-40 seconds.
Weaknesses: His hardened form has limited stamina (roughly 10 minutes max), and extreme, continuous damage can cause the hardening to wear off.
Appearance: Distinctive bright red, spikey hair (formerly black) and a small scar over his right eye caused when his quirk first manifested.
Hero Costume: Inspired by an Oni (demon) motif, featuring shoulder guards, a face guard, and exposed chest to show off his strength.
Personality: Boisterous, determined, and chivalrous. He highly values "manliness" and courage, frequently acting to protect others, such as when he shielded Fat Gum from Kendo Rappa.
Background: Initially insecure about his "plain" quirk, he was inspired by his idol, Crimson Riot, to adopt a confident, proactive mindset upon entering U.A. High.
Kirishima serves as a moral compass and sturdy support for his classmates, particularly Bakugo, and evolves into a dependable Pro Hero alongside mentor Fat Gum.
