Bristle
CharacterHair turned rigid on command. Bristle belongs to Tsuyoshi, a Transformation Quirk from the Team-Up Missions spinoff that hardens its owner's hair dramatically. Beyond that single description the ability remains almost entirely unexplored, since Tsuyoshi has never been shown putting it to work.
Overview
Bristle, written in Japanese as Gōmō, is the Quirk belonging to Tsuyoshi. It carries a Transformation classification and a close-range designation.
The power comes from My Hero Academia: Team-Up Missions, debuting in Chapter 3.2 of that spinoff. Wiki categories list it under Quirks and Team-Up Missions Original Quirks.
Mechanics
The recorded effect is a single line: the user's hair can be hardened to a considerable degree.
Everything past that is blank. Tsuyoshi has never been depicted using the ability in any situation, so its range of application, its limits, and its practical strength all remain unknown.
Notable Users
Tsuyoshi is the only person shown with Bristle.
The closest comparison in the franchise is the unnamed hardening power carried by Crimson Riot, which works along similar lines.
