Biography
Tenko Shimura (Japanese: 志し村むら転てん弧こ, Hepburn: Shimura Tenko?) was a male human born in Japan in the modern age following the rise of Quirks within humanity. He was born the son of Kotaro Shimura and Nao Shimura where he had an older sister named Hana Shimura.
He eventually came to take the name of Tomura Shigaraki (死し柄が木らき弔とむら, Shigaraki Tomura?).
Alongside Kurogiri, he led a surprise League of Villains attack against U.A. where they had a Nomu accompany them. Using his ally's teleportation ability, they were able to infiltrate the training grounds of the school. This allowed them to take people hostage as they looked to eliminate any skilled heroes at the scene. Ultimately, Shigaraki had intended to draw out All-Might in the hope that Nomu would be able to defeat and kill the Number 1 Pro Hero.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Tomura Shigaraki was a slim human male with deathly pale skin, tinged yellow, and wrinkled a great deal around his eyes. As a rising supervillain, he came to be known by the epithet of the Symbol of Fear (恐怖の象徴 Kyōfu no Shōchō?).
Though distant to his allies, he was shown to care about them to a certain degree. This was shown in him prioritizing their comfort once he obtained the necessary finances. In addition, he was angered when they were injured or killed by others such as when Magne was killed by Overhaul who also destroyed one of Compress's arms.
He was the grandson of Nana Shimura who was once a wielder of the One For All Quirk.
Powers and abilities
Shigaraki was a Quirk user where his took the form of Decay (崩ほう壊かい Hōkai?) that allowed him to disintegrate whatever he touched with all five fingers. The power worked on any object touched by him whether it was organic or not. Once activated, the disintegration spread quickly and spread throughout the entire form of the target. A means of stopping it was by amputating the affected decaying part thus stopping the disintegration from spreading throughout the target.
He came to be the leader of the League of Villains (敵ヴィラン連れん合ごう, Viran Rengō?) that had been founded by his master All For One.
