U.A.'s cafeteria is run by a Pro Hero. The Cook Hero: Lunch Rush feeds the entire school, and when the Final War came his kitchen turned into a supply line, keeping Momo Yaoyorozu fed so she could keep manufacturing everything a floating fortress needed.

He turns up first when Class 1-A files into the Grand Mess Hall and finds the chef waiting behind the counter. The way the students eat says most of it, and Ochaco Uraraka credits him with a menu varied enough that she never tires of it. Six years before that he single-handedly turned out a full French course for ten thousand people displaced by a typhoon, which puts a number on both his speed and his volume.
During the Final War, he was posted to the crew keeping the floating U.A. Fortress airworthy, the structure built to contain Tomura Shigaraki. The assignment was to keep food moving to Momo Yaoyorozu without interruption so that she could keep producing supplies for everyone repairing and holding the structure together. His Quirk has never been disclosed.
