Izuku Midoriya, also known by his hero name Deku, is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the manga series My Hero Academia, created by Kōhei Horikoshi. He is a nerdy and ambitious high schooler and the 9th holder of "One For All", a superpower which combines six different individual superpowers, or "quirks", together and creates powerful bursts of energy, and also has the unique ability to be passed off to other people. Initially born without a "quirk" to call his own, Izuku nevertheless grew up with aspirations to become a superhero in his own right. Nicknamed "Deku" by childhood classmate and rival Katsuki Bakugou, Izuku would later save him from a criminal, in turn winning over the interest of All Might, Izuku's childhood idol, who in turn passes down his One For All quirk to him. After being accepted into U.A. high School, Izuku's classmate Ochako Uraraka inspires him to embrace his nickname and use it as his hero moniker.
