Three young men on snowmobiles who worship criminals and play at being one, the K3 Gang harass mountain residents without ever managing real harm. Their run ends when they introduce themselves as villains to the wrong stranger, a hero student named Eijiro Kirishima.
The trio appears in My Hero Academia: Team-Up Missions as a study in ambition outrunning talent. All three dress to a stereotypical punk template, all three ride snowmobiles, and all three treat established criminals as models worth copying, Stain above all.
Their crimes stay firmly at the nuisance end of the scale. They frighten the people living on a mountain and make themselves a problem, but nothing they do causes serious damage, and to their credit they know exactly how weak they are.
Roaming the mountainside, the gang crossed paths with Eijiro Kirishima and cheerfully announced themselves as villains, which held up right until they discovered he was training to be a hero. They ran. Eijiro gave chase, and a snowstorm cut visibility so badly that all three snowmobiles wrecked.
With the storm now threatening to kill everyone present, Eijiro salvaged the blades from the ruined machines, improvised skis, and carried all three down the slope on his back. The rescue landed harder than any lecture could have. Impressed by his spirit, they declared that heroes were their new models, and then they were arrested.
The gang runs three deep under an unnamed leader, and none of the members are identified by name. The group is defined by what it shares rather than by any individual: the snowmobiles, the punk styling, and the admiration for Stain that gave them the idea in the first place.
All of them were taken into custody after the encounter with Eijiro Kirishima.

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....
The K3 Gang is a trio of small time wannabe villains from My Hero Academia: Team-Up Missions who ride snowmobiles through the mountains and model themselves after Stain, the Hero Killer.
Eijiro Kirishima defeated the K3 Gang after they mistakenly announced themselves as villains to him, not realizing he was a hero student.
The K3 Gang consists of three members riding snowmobiles, none of whom are given individual names in the story.
After a snowstorm wrecked their snowmobiles, Eijiro Kirishima rescued all three members of the K3 Gang by carrying them down the mountain, and the group was arrested soon after.
No, the K3 Gang's crimes stayed at the level of frightening mountain residents, and the group never managed to cause serious damage before being caught.
