A horse-headed thug who shook down civilians in Naruhata's backstreets until the Crawler and the staff of Hopper's Cafe put a stop to it. His punishment was a job: 650 yen an hour, dishes, lunch included. He took it, and later cheered for the hero who beat him.
Black hair falls from his head in a heavy sweep that reads as a horse's mane, sitting above brown skin. His street clothes are unremarkable: denim in blue, a tank top in white with a black jacket thrown over it, and wristbands in green. A tattoo marks his left shoulder.
His unnamed Quirk is what gives him the horse features. Whether it grants anything beyond the look, such as an actual horse's physical traits, has never been established.
Volume and menace are his whole approach. While he and his partner worked over a pair of young women, he turned on the onlookers and shouted them off rather than let anyone linger.
In Naruhata, he and the Rhino Man cornered two girls they had bumped into and demanded money, the Horse Man claiming the collision had broken his arm. When bystanders drifted over, he scared them off with a shout, and Rhino Man told the girls that nothing in the backstreets brings the police or heroes running. One of them disagreed, and called for the Crawler.
Koichi Haimawari duly arrived, delighted that someone had used his chosen name. The thugs swung at him and hit nothing while he narrated his own good mood, until Kazuho Haneyama told him to stop daydreaming mid-fight. He kept slipping their attacks to applause from passers-by, then dropped into Slap Style and opened up with repulsion blasts, finishing with Double Shooty-Go-Blam. Neither man went down, and Rhino Man had hold of Koichi's hoodie when help arrived: Ikajiro Takobe pinned the Horse Man while Kirihito Kamachi handled his partner. The two introduced themselves as Hopper's Cafe employees, Teruo Unagisawa handed out pamphlets, and Kirihito laid out the alternative to a police cell. Dishwashing paid 650 yen an hour with lunch provided. The cafe had two new hires.
He surfaces again during the Naruhata Lockdown, standing with Emperor Yotsuura, Willy Wanda, Tommy S. Gordon and his old partner Rhino Man among the reformed villains cheering the Crawler on as he fought Number 6 in Destruction Style.

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....
Horse Man is a horse-headed thug in My Hero Academia: Vigilantes who shook down civilians in Naruhata's backstreets alongside his partner Rhino Man until the Crawler stopped them.
Horse Man has an unnamed Quirk that gives him horse-like features, including a black mane of hair. Whether it grants any actual horse abilities beyond appearance has never been established.
The Crawler, Koichi Haimawari, dodged Horse Man's attacks while fighting in his Slap Style, landing repulsion blasts and finishing with Double Shooty-Go-Blam before Hopper's Cafe staff arrived to help subdue him.
After his defeat, Horse Man was given the choice of a police cell or a job, and he chose to work as a dishwasher at Hopper's Cafe for 650 yen an hour with lunch included.
Horse Man's partner was Rhino Man, and the two of them cornered and shook down two young women together before the Crawler intervened in Naruhata.
