Mustafa Private Middle School
CharacterMustafa Private Middle School put Eijiro Kirishima and Mina Ashido in the same classroom years before U.A. did. The private junior high gives two of Class 1-A's loudest personalities a shared history, and its name hides one of the series' running Star Wars jokes.
Overview
Written 私立結田府中学校 and read as Shiritsu Musutafu Chūgakkō, the school turns up in Chapter 144 of the manga and Episode 72 of the anime. It is a private institution, and the series surfaces it only through the history of two graduates.
Role
Kirishima and Ashido studied here, then both won places at U.A. High School, which makes them classmates twice over. The pair are listed as former students, and the campus itself never becomes a setting the story spends time in.
The name carries a double reference. Musutafu points to Mustafar, the volcanic planet from the Star Wars films, a habit of naming that recurs across the series. That same Japanese reading belongs to Musutafu, the city hosting nearly all of the story, so the school and the setting share both their pronunciation and their source.
Notable Members
Eijiro Kirishima and Mina Ashido are the two named students, both former. No staff members are identified.
