Takahiro

Character

Takahiro is a winged Pro Hero who appears in the film My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, attending the I-Expo gala before Wolfram's crew takes the island hostage. His raptor build comes from his Eagle Quirk, and his design carries an odd piece of history: he was the prototype for the role that eventually went to Hawks.

Quirk: Eagle
Birthday: May 1
Height: 175 cm (5'9")
Status: Alive
Occupation: Pro Hero
First Appearance (Movie): My Hero Academia: Two Heroes

Appearance

Talons take the place of fingers on Takahiro's hands, each one tipped in long black claw. Above them sits a head shaped like a bird's, crowned with spiked brown feathers that recall the plumage of Fumikage Tokoyami, and a ruffled feather collar spills from his neck down across his chest. Broad wings extend from his back.

His hero costume pairs headphones with a vest whose collar is popped high. Baggy parachute trousers make up the lower half, marked with circles at the knees and fastened by a row of buttons running to the crotch, the uppermost two left open. A belt with an oversized buckle holds them up, and plain boots finish the outfit.

Personality

Two Heroes gives Takahiro no scenes that reveal much of his character. He turns up as an invited guest at a formal reception and spends the rest of the film among the captives, so his temperament remains essentially undocumented.

History

Takahiro is on the guest list for the reception held at the I-Expo, which puts him in the room when Wolfram and his subordinates seize control of the venue. He spends the crisis in their custody. His release comes only after Melissa Shield wrests I-Island's security system back from the villains.

His Quirk, Eagle, is responsible for the raptor traits he carries. Whatever abilities accompany that appearance are never demonstrated on screen, so the full reach of the power is unrecorded. Behind the scenes, his look derives from a character of the same name in Oumagadoki Zoo, an earlier series by Kohei Horikoshi, and he was first drafted to occupy the narrative slot that Hawks would later fill before the two were split into separate characters. His birthday, May 1, is shared with Mandalay.
