Fuji Fukiyose

A bandana holds Fuji's untidy black hair up off his forehead, and a permanent shadow sits across his eyes. His skin is dark. He treats his middle school uniform casually, leaving the jacket hanging open over a sweatshirt.

Fuji laughs easily and jokes constantly, and whatever he feels tends to reach his face immediately. The clowning covers real ambition, though. He has set his sights on the Hero Course at U.A. High School and is entirely serious about getting in.

Fuji visits U.A.'s Prospective Students Day with Raito Sanda. Their first stop is the Support Course, where Raito falls into a long conversation with Mei Hatsume about the gear she had developed to use at the U.A. Sports Festival, until Fuji hauls him away. Hunting for the Hero Course, the two stumble into Business Course students instead and nearly get talked around before escaping and finding the right department.

The Hero Course runs an immersive lesson for visitors: a game of tag pairing each prospective student with a current one who has to take their headband, with Quirks permitted on both sides. Fuji draws Tsuyu Asui and is tagged almost at once.

Afterwards he goes off to buy drinks and returns to find Raito missing, so he sits down on the ground to wait. Raito eventually turns up and admits he spent the time in a practice debate run by the Business Course, and that he now intends to apply there rather than to the Hero Course. Fuji is thrown at first, then congratulates his friend for settling on a direction, and the two resolve to ace their entrance exams.
