6 Kinoko Komori
The Fungus Queen

Kinoko Komoro was a pleasant surprise in her standout role in My Hero Academia. She appeared for the first time in the third episode of season two of the series but got a chance to truly shine during the Joint Training battle, showing her energetic personality and powerful quirk.
While initially coming off as shy during her battle alongside her classmates, she is portrayed as adorably unhinged when it comes to mushrooms.

5 Toru Hagakure
The Invisible Girl

Toru is the unseen heart of class 1A, who elevates the meaning of "background character". She is gifted with the simple quirk of invisibility by refracting light around her body and redirecting the light in several ways.
While Toru may be hard to see, she has no problems standing out, is always willing to help out, and makes herself available to her friends. Possessing an energetic personality, Toru never fails to brighten up the room. Her impact on the series is considerably increased during the betrayal of Yuga Aoyama, where she becomes the glue that keeps her friends together.
4 Izuku Midoriya
The Hope Of The Future
- First Appearance: Season 1, Episode 1
Midoriya is perhaps one of the best main characters of the last decade. Originating as a quirkless young man in a world quickly changing to a quirk-dominated landscape, Midoriya overcame insurmountable odds and retained his pure and noble demeanor.
Midoriya displayed immense empathy and morality when it came to being a hero, and no matter the cost, he never hesitated to put his life on the line for the greater good. Midoriya's growth over the many seasons of My Hero Academia had a significant emotional and memorable impact on the series that will not soon be forgotten.

Tsuyu, also known as Froppy, is an aquatic hero with amphibian-like traits comparable to frogs or toads.

1 Koji Koda
A Pure Light Of Kindness
- First Appearance: Season 1, Episode 5
Koji Koda is one of the more undistinguished young heroes in My Hero Academia who uses a quirk that allows him to commune with animals. In most of the episodes in which Koda appears, it's clear that he is a very sheltered young man who doesn't trust many with his inner thoughts and embodies the inner child of most fans who watch the series.
A kind soul who prioritizes life, Koda seeks to be a hero to save and protect. While being soft-spoken and having an even softer heart, it appeared that Koda was not cut out for the violent life of heroes, but he was determined to prove that concept wrong and give his all.
