Needle Star

A jagged, zig-zagging hairline tops his short hair, above sharp eyes and a pointed nose. He drapes a black jacket over his shoulders atop a white shirt, wears matching dark slacks, and pins safety pins through his ears, a look that reads like a relaxed take on the Blizzard Group's uniform. A spiked morning star hangs ready at his side.

Rank means a great deal to him; he pressed Sekingar to promise a promotion in exchange for joining the raid. His short fuse, the very thing that got him thrown out of the Blizzard Group after repeated arguments, pairs with real confidence in his own skill. He is not cruel, though. He pulled Mizuki clear of a Rhino Wrestler attack when Tatsumaki and Sweet Mask could not be bothered, and he had the sense to warn his allies about that monster's power before charging ahead.

Though only B-Class, he handles his weapon with real skill, hurling the heavy spiked ball and bending its path in midair to strike several foes at once, feats that demand considerable strength and speed. He treats the chain as if it were part of his own body, and his finishing technique, Violence Star, whips the ball through a target in a star-shaped flurry. Its spikes retract, letting allies handle it safely; Captain Mizuki once used it as a shot-put.

Recruited to the Monster Association raid's support team, he opened by crushing monster heads, silenced an Evil Eggs player who dared him to throw, and mowed down a drilling attacker that burst from the ground. When Rhino Wrestler charged the second wave, Needle Star shed his cape and unleashed Violence Star, only for the monster to bat it aside and rate the blow twenty-five out of a hundred, still higher than most of his teammates managed. He used the same weapon to yank Mizuki out of harm's way before Atomic Samurai finished the creature. A later attempt on Nyan saw him cut down at once. During the Psychic Sisters arc he stood among the heroes at the A-City headquarters as Tatsumaki fought Apollo below, moved by the Blizzard Group's refusal to give up.
