Biography
Shōta Aizawa (相あい澤ざわ消しょう太た Aizawa Shōta?) was a male human born in the modern age following the rise of Quirks in the planetary population.
During his adolescent years, he attended U.A. High School where he met Hizashi Yamada and Oboro Shirakumo where the three became close friends and would end up being called 'the three dumbigos of Class A'. One day, they came to pick hero names for themselves though Shota was unable to decide one for himself with Hizashi suggesting 'Eraser Head'. In his second year, he began to have doubts about his ability to become a hero where he felt unable to save a kitten that he found abandoned on a rainy day when he was on his way to U.A. The only thing he could do for the animal was leave his umbrella to offer it shelter as he continued towards his school. Once in his classroom, his friend Hizashi came to notice his low mood and went about trying to cheer him up though did not have much success.
He came to operate as an underground pro-hero who went by the name of Eraser Head (イレイザー・ヘッド Ireizā Heddo?).
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Aizawa was a slender tall man who stood at 183 cm where he had messy shoulder-length, black hair, black stubble on his cheeks, chin and upper lip, and half-closed, black eyes. His hero costume consists of a worn out, black jumpsuit that he tucks into his mid-shin, black boots, a utility belt, and his light grey weapon wrapped around his neck like a scarf that hides his yellow goggles under it. He often appears in a yellow sleeping bag that he naps in sometimes in the middle of class. Since he is an underground hero, his appearance is not well-known to the public, but he is recognized by his worn-out, black hero costume, his bandage-like weapon, and his yellow goggles. After the USJ attack, he taught his class while his face was bandaged only showing his eyes and a bit of his nose, and both his arms were bandaged and in slings. When his bandages were finally removed, a crescent scar was revealed under his right eye. As a Pro-Hero, he came to operate under the hero name Eraserhead (イレイザーヘッド, Ireizā Heddo).
Driven by logic, Aizawa tended to be a cold, apathetic, and impatient individual who exerted very little energy in most situations. Instead, he had a preference towards taking naps in his sleeping bag instead.
On the surface, he was a very stern and reserved person who had lofty expectations of his students. As a teacher, he liked to use rational thinking to avoid wasting time. A very stern and reserved man, he had lofty expectations of his students. He tended to give his students enough space for them to make their own decisions. However, Aizawa had little tolerance for disobedient behaviour. Moreover, he was known to expel students he deemed unworthy for not having enough potential to be heroes. However, this high expulsion rate was only on paper and that he actually re-enrolled any students he 'expelled'. Shota did this so they could experience 'death' once as this gave them an experience that drove them to push even higher.
Despite his apathetic traits, Shota genuinely cared about his students and would go to great lengths to protect them.
Powers and abilities
He had keen observation and evaluation skills that allowed him to easily evaluate his student's personalities and their mental state.
Shota Aizawa was a human who gained a Quirk (個こ性せい Kosei?, lit. "Individuality") that was a superpower which in his case manifested in the ability Erasure (Kanji: 抹消 Romaji: Masshō). This power allowed him to nullify another person's Quirk by looking at the user. When Aizawa used his Quirk, his hair flew vertically in the air and his eyes turned red until he blinked whereupon his hair and eyes returned back to normal. As a pro-hero, his fighting style fixed on detaining after erasing the opponent's Quirk.
This combined with his incredible combat prowess and ingenuity made him one of the most formidable teachers and Pro Heroes at U.A. High. His usual battle tactic consisted of cancelling an opponent's Quirk and then using his Capturing Weapon in conjunction with his high agility to easily defeat or restrain his adversaries.
His Quirk was not suited for long fights nor against a large group. However, Aizawa balanced that by wearing goggles which hid his line of sight to make it harder for opponents to know whose Quirk he was erasing thus rendering it difficult for them to work together. He also carried with him a small green case of eye drops which he used to treat the dry eye caused by keeping his eyes open too long.
To capture villains, he used a special-made, bandage-like weapon made of a steel wire alloy woven with carbon nanofibres. This became the basis for his own unique style of fighting that was called Binding Cloth (操そう縛ばく布ふ Sōbakufu?).
