Daigo is one of Wolfram's masked hires in Two Heroes, a brawler who turns into a gorilla-like monster and thoroughly enjoys the work. He shrugs off explosions, punches through Shoto's ice, and compliments the U.A. students on their form right up until Katsuki puts him down.
Daigo's eyes never open. They are small and black, set close together above a hooked nose and beneath notably tiny eyebrows. His head is round and runs into a thick neck with almost no boundary between the two, and his skin carries a light tan. He keeps his dark hair cropped very short and rounded on top, with two bands of it visible around the back of his skull. Middle age has settled on him.
On the job he matches the rest of Wolfram's crew: black combat gear, a full-face mask, and a pale X patterned across the front of it.
Loyal to Wolfram and happy in his work, Daigo likes a fight and says so, handing out credit to opponents who handle themselves well. He rates his own skills highly too, and while he resents being written off, that same self-regard is what led him to misjudge Katsuki Bakugo.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
His unnamed Quirk swells him into a gorilla-like beast of considerable size, and everything about him scales with it. He broke apart the 80th floor of the Central Tower, flung the debris as shrapnel, and forced his way through Shoto Todoroki's ice on strength alone. Explosions rolled off him. He kept pace with Katsuki's boosted movement well enough to deny him a clean hit, and absorbed several blasts before anything landed.
The infiltration itself went smoothly. Wolfram's men slipped onto I-Island, restrained the guards, seized the Central Tower control room, and turned the island's own security against everyone on it, residents and tourists and Pro Heroes alike. When U.A. students began climbing, Daigo and Nobu were sent after them and found Katsuki and Eijiro Kirishima on the 80th floor. A surprise attack from Shoto froze both villains solid; Nobu broke them out, and Daigo shifted into his beast form, smashed through the follow-up ice, and sent Eijiro into a distant wall. His duel with Katsuki ended with Howitzer Impact.
