Appearance

Horns push upward out of his brow and fangs sit behind his lip, framing a face topped with dark blond hair that spikes outward. Muscle carries the rest of the look. His wardrobe stays minimal: black shirt, spiked bracelets, nothing else worth noting.

Personality

The material gives him no dialogue and no established temperament. He answered Tomura Shigaraki's recruitment call and threw himself at trained professionals once the fighting turned against his side, and that willingness is essentially the whole record of who he is.

History

Tomura Shigaraki gathered him alongside dozens of other low-ranking Villains for the strike against the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, which makes him a minor antagonist of that arc. He was part of the mob that flooded the facility.

When U.A. staff arrived as reinforcements, Yashamaru joined the charge to meet them. Present Mic's Voice Quirk left him briefly stunned, and Ectoplasm's clones finished the job and put him down. He was arrested afterward and remains imprisoned. He exists only in the anime, and his Villain name appears nowhere in the story itself, surfacing instead in the game My Hero Academia: The Strongest Hero.
