Biography

Tsuyu Asui (Japanese: 蛙あ吹すい梅つ雨ゆ, Hepburn: Asui Tsuyu?) was a female human born in Japan in the era when Quirks began to develop on Earth.

Tsuyu first appears alongside the rest of Class 1-A on the first day of the term. Shortly after the start of class, Class 1-A is brought to the exercise grounds by their homeroom teacher: Shota Aizawa. He informs the class that they must all undertake a Quirk Apprehension Test and whoever comes in last place will be expelled immediately. When Tsuyu takes part in the 50-meter dash, she races against Tenya Ida, who finishes before her due to the speed of his Engine Quirk. She finishes the race in 5.58 seconds and eventually places thirteenth overall in the class. Tsuyu was then seen discussing with the rest of the class about the kind of man Shota Aizawa was in reality. Tsuyu was later paired with Fumikage Tokoyami for the combat training. After the first battle trial, All Might grants Tenya Ida the most valuable honors. Tsuyu questions this since Izuku Midoriya and Ochaco Uraraka were the victors. Momo Yaoyorozu explains why. Once training finishes, All Might gives the class some positive reinforcement. Tsuyu thanks him for this because she feels like their homeroom teacher is quite the opposite of positive. When Izuku returns to class from the nurse's office, Tsuyu introduces herself to him as 'Tsu'. She along with Ochaco and Mina are seen together watching Izuku and Katsuki talking outside of school. Tsuyu tells Ochaco that she wonders what's going on. While deciding who should be class president, Tsuyu mentions that Tenya's voting system may not work since the class had not known each other long enough. She votes for herself to be president but Izuku and Momo end up winning the honors. Later on, Shota announced to the Class that they will partake in rescue training at an outside facility. Tsuyu mentioned to Eijiro Kirishima that she's excited to show off her skills in the water. Tsuyu received her hero costume and chooses to leave her goggles behind and boards the bus. During the bus trip to the outside facility, Tsuyu tells Izuku that his Quirk reminds her of All Might. However, Eijiro argues that Izuku's Quirk injures him while All Might's does not. Eijiro goes on to say that Katsuki Bakugo and Shoto Todoroki have the most pro-worthy Quirks. Tsuyu replied that Katsuki's too angry to become a popular pro, causing him to yell at her and prove her point.

Class 1-A arrived at the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, where they meet the Space Hero: Thirteen. Thirteen explained she developed the U.S.J. with the focus on training future heroes on using their Quirks to help others. Suddenly during Thirteen's speech, real villains invade the facility through a warp gate. Shota fends off the villains on his own and leaves Thirteen to evacuate with the class. They prepare to escape, but they are cut off by the villain Kurogiri. Katsuki and Eijiro attack him, but end up dealing no damage. Kurogiri responds by warping the class to the various areas in the U.S.J. Tsuyu, Izuku, and Minoru Mineta are warped to the shipwreck zone where they are met by villains. Izuku is nearly killed by a fish-like villain underwater, but Tsuyu rescues him by kicking the assailant in the face. She uses her quick swimming skills and her tongue to swiftly bring Izuku and Minoru out of the water and onto the boat. Izuku thanks her for saving his life and she reminds him again to call her 'Tsu'. They discuss the villain's plans and Minoru mentions that the villains can't kill All Might. Tsuyu argues that the villains likely have a plan in mind and that they need to focus on surviving. The villains in the water start rushing towards the ship. Minoru panics, but Izuku encourages his allies to be heroes because it was up to them to save All Might now. Tsuyu and Izuku deduce that the villains must've collected information on the U.S.J. and gathered villains who would have advantages there. However, they also figure out that the villains likely have no idea what the students' Quirk and skills are. While Tsuyu and her allies strategize and share information on their Quirks, one of the villains uses an aquatic Quirk to cut the ship in half. Minoru starts freaking out as the ship sinks and Tsuyu questions whether the hero track is right for him. Izuku remains clam and creates a plan for them to escape. Izuku jumps from the ship and uses a Delaware Smash on the water to create a giant shockwave. On his signal, Tsuyu grabs Minoru and jumps from the ship. She grabs Izuku with her tongue while Minoru uses throws sticky spheres from his Quirk at the villains.

The aftermath of the shockwave causes the water to rush back to the middle, trapping the villains there because of Minoru's Quirk. As they escape the shipwreck zone, Tsuyu commends her allies by telling them they did an amazing job. As they leave the water, Tsuyu asks Izuku to stop muttering and second-guessing their plan as he complies. At first, they agree to escape towards the exit, but Izuku decides they should help Shota against the group of villains in the central plaza. They soon arrive there to find Shota facing off with Tomura Shigaraki, the villain's ringleader. Exhausted from fighting, Shota ends up at the mercy of Tomura and his super-powerful ally: Nomu. Tsuyu, Izuku and Minoru watch in horror as their teacher is taken down, but they notice Kurogiri tell Tomura one of the students escaped. They assume the villains plan to escape, but Tsuyu admits to Izuku that she has a sour feeling about this. Just then, Tomura suddenly decides to attack the group and nearly destroys Tsu's face. Fortunately, Shota uses his Quirk in time to stop Tomura for the time being. Izuku uses the opening to attack Tomura in order to save Tsu, but his smash attack is nullified by Nomu's swift defense of Tomura. Nomu attacks Izuku and Tsu moves to save him, but they are all rescued by the arrival of All Might. All Might grabs Shota and entrusts his unconscious body to the students. Tsuyu, Minoru, and Izuku carry him towards the exit until Izuku rushes back to support All Might. Following the battle with the League of Villains, Class 1-A meets up outside the facility and are debriefed by Detective Tsukauchi. Yuga Aoyama tells Tsuyu it's a secret where he got warped to. She ignores him and asks the detective about the condition of Shota and Thirteen.

When classes resume for Class 1-A, Mina asks Tsuyu who she believes will teach the class. Tsuyu replies she has no idea since Shota is still in the hospital recovering from his injuries. She's proven wrong when Shota greets the class covered in bandages. He uses the class time to explain that the U.A. Sports Festival is fast approaching. During lunchtime, Tsuyu's classmates express their excitement in anticipation of the festival. Tsuyu takes notice of Tenya's dancing and compliments him. The most excited person appears to be Ochaco, who proclaims to the class that she'll do her very best. Tsuyu and her others cheer her on as she yells about doing her best. Tsuyu uses the two weeks before the festival to train. She uses one of the school's indoor pools to practice by catching toy fish underwater using her tongue. When the day of the sports festival arrives, Tsuyu listens to Shoto's proclamation in Class 1-A's waiting room. Afterwards, she accompanies her class for the opening ceremony. The first event was revealed to be an Obstacle Race. When the race begins, Shoto tries to freeze everyone trailing him. Tsuyu manages to avoid the ice and eventually reaches the second leg of the race: 'The Fall'. She quickly traverses through the obstacle by balancing herself across the tightropes. Then Tsuyu carefully makes her way towards through the minefield rather than trying to jump across it. She takes notice when Izuku detonates various minds in order to propel himself into first place. Tsuyu manages to finish the Obstacle Race in thirteenth place, qualifying her for the second event: The Cavalry Battle. Tsuyu teams up with Minoru and Mezo Shoji for the Cavalry Battle. She and Minoru use their compact bodies to hide underneath Mezo's tentacles while riding on his back. When Mezo attacks Team Midoriya and Team Tetsutetsu, Tsuyu uses her tongue to try and steal their points. They are both able to avoid her, so she commends Izuku's impressive moves.

Soon after, Minoru's points are mysteriously stolen and he cries over it. Tsuyu admits she wouldn't have teamed up with him if it wasn't for his clever plan. She adds that like him, she has no idea how Minoru's points got stolen. Mezo goes into attack mode and attacks Team Midoriya and Team Todoroki. Shoto counters their assault by using Denki's lightning to shock and paralyze all teams around them. Then Shoto uses his Quirk to freeze everyone including Mezo in place. Unable to move, Team Minoru doesn't acquire enough points to move onto the finals. When the event commences, Tsuyu states he's frustrated by her failure but congratulates Mina for moving on.
