Astro answers a call that almost anyone would have had reason to let pass. When heroes are asked to step into the last battle of the Final War, this obscure young professional raises his hand, admits out loud that nobody knows his name, and goes anyway. Eight years later, his face is on a billboard.

Appearance

Red gloves with gray plating across the knuckles cover Astro's hands. Over a white shirt whose collar carries metal eyelets, with orange fabric showing underneath, he wears a vest in deep blue that matches the color his hair spikes upward in. The eyes below it are blue and heavy-lidded. At 155 cm he reads as slight, and young.

Personality

Little of Astro's inner life has been shown. What does come through is willingness. He wants to be useful to Izuku Midoriya badly enough to push past his own obscurity, and he names that obscurity himself rather than pretending it away.

History

Astro is sheltering among the evacuees at Shiketsu High School when Shota Aizawa opens a warp gate and asks for anyone prepared to reinforce the closing fight. Deku is locked in his decisive struggle with Tomura Shigaraki at that moment. Astro steps forward, pulls a spear out of his own hands, and argues that being unknown does not disqualify him from helping. Aizawa lets him through, and he joins the assault on All For One.

He keeps working as a professional once the fighting ends. By the time eight years have gone by, his standing has climbed far enough that advertisers put him up on a billboard.
