Appearance

Komari's eyes are large and navy blue, and they are usually welling up thanks to how easily her nerves fray. Her dark hair falls straight, stopping just short of her shoulders.

She dresses for work in a white blouse under a tan jacket, with a green skirt long enough to reach her ankles, a belt at the waist, and heeled shoes.

Personality

Beyond her constant state of distress, little of her character has been detailed. Her students' behavior keeps her in that state, and she is forever visibly losing the battle to rein them in. Watching those same children behave unlike themselves during the Provisional Hero License Course gave her a reason not to quit.

History

Gang Orca turns the Masegaki class loose inside the Remedial Course facility while Komari trails at the rear, hoping they will introduce themselves politely rather than charge the participants. They ignore her completely, and she thanks Gang Orca with obvious relief when he takes responsibility for them. As the kids go after Katsuki Bakugo, Camie Utsushimi, Inasa Yoarashi, and Shoto Todoroki one by one, she apologizes again for the trouble. He waves it off, predicting the four trainees will have the class transformed before the day ends.

Seated later with Present Mic and Yokumiru Mera, she is asked how the trainees might win the children over. Her answer is that the Quirk counseling children need to develop safely fell short for this group, so they shut their hearts. She apologizes to the kids too, having believed that meeting aspiring heroes would bring out their earnestness. When the participants abandon patience and decide to show off their Quirks, she cries out against it, knowing how cocky the children already are about their own powers, and Present Mic has to stop her from running into the ensuing brawl.

The giant ice slide Shoto and Inasa build astonishes her, both for the craftsmanship and for finally calming the class. That the children then volunteer to help clear it away surprises her more, and she resolves to give them a fuller education about Quirks and the people who use them heroically, bowing in thanks to the trainees and Gang Orca on her way out.

Months later, with hero society collapsed after the Paranormal Liberation War, Masegaki's students and staff shelter at U.A. and are moved into the Underground Evacuation System linking U.A. and Shiketsu. Komari warns her class to stay alert for villains; they are unworried, placing their faith in Katsuki and Shoto. Their transport segment halts and the lights die, the work of Skeptic and All For One's sleeper agents, and the group follows the livestreamed fights against All For One and Tomura Shigaraki. As the shelter's foundations collapse, Gunhead orders the civilians up to the surface, where U.A. robots wait, but outside they meet the searing heat of Dabi's Blueflames. Aboard an evacuating robot, Komari tells the students it will be fine while Tamashiro cheerfully agrees, the class watching Shoto and Tenya streak across the landscape on a tablet.
