Battles with depression and self-worth are ongoing. But therapy (through U.A.'s support program) is helping.

Still wears his binder religiously—part armor, part ritual.

Keeps a tattered notebook filled with sketches of light in the dark: lanterns, stars, fireflies.

 Backstory:

From a young age, Hiroshi felt invisible—and not in a comforting way. Born in a small, conservative district on the outskirts of Musutafu, he grew up in a house that was heavy with silence. Silence at dinner, silence about identity, silence when he asked to be called a different name.

His quirk manifested early, when he was around eight. He had a panic attack at school after being outed by a classmate, and without warning, a thick, suffocating darkness poured from his skin. It cloaked the classroom in silence and shadow—frightening both teachers and peers. When the lights finally returned, he was met with more fear than concern.

From then on, Hiroshi was labeled as unstable. A "problem child." Even some pro heroes in his area recommended quirk suppression therapy—more for the comfort of others than for his well-being.

He learned to suppress his presence. To shrink himself. To control the fog that wanted to pour out when he was anxious or afraid. He started wearing his binder as soon as he could get one, long before he should have. The pain made him feel grounded. The dysphoria was louder than the silence he grew up in, but it made more sense.

His arms and thighs became a journal. His body, a quiet scream. And still—he kept going.

 Turning Point:

One day, while aimlessly wandering the city in a dissociative haze, he accidentally got caught in a villain incident. A minor villain had taken hostages at a quiet train station. Hiroshi, half in panic, let his quirk out—not to fight, but to shield the civilians.

In the swirling fog, the villain couldn't see or hear. Neither could the hostages. But Hiroshi guided them to safety with small glimmers of light through the dark. When it was over, a low-tier hero on the scene said:

"I don't know who that kid was—but that fog gave us a chance."

It was the first time Hiroshi's quirk hadn't been called "dangerous." It was the first time he felt useful.

 Costume Concept:
