Abegawa Tenchu Kai

The Abegawa Tenchu Kai is a criminal syndicate featured in My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, formally flagged by authorities as a designated villain group. Its lineage predates the arrival of Quirks entirely, and the organization kept its headquarters in the Danto Ward of Tokyo.

Reputation followed the gang's leadership, since every executive commanded a Quirk of serious power. What genuinely unsettled outsiders was something else: the group's instinct for brutality let members drop into a fight without any pause at all.

Police classification as a villain organization marked the beginning of the end. The vigilante Stendhal, otherwise known as Chizome Akaguro, forced his way into the syndicate's base and cut down the senior figures there in combat.

That clash, logged as Stendhal versus the Abegawa Tenchu Kai, belongs to the Stendhal Arc, and the syndicate has been disbanded since.

Four named bosses led the syndicate, all of them killed: Rojiya Yonenaga, Tetsu, Haruhisa, and Soji. Three further members went unnamed.

The whole roster works as an extended parody of the Avengers, leaning on their film versions. Even the name echoes Abenjazu, the Japanese rendering of Avengers. Rojiya Yonenaga mirrors Captain America, Tetsu answers to Iron Man, Haruhisa stands in for the Hulk, and Soji plays Thor, while the unnamed trio evoke the Winter Soldier, Black Widow, and Hawkeye.
