Character background and universe (Lore)

Shota Aizawa, known in hero circles as Eraser Head, is a Pro Hero and teacher at U.A. High School, where he is in charge of Class 1-A. His generally aloof demeanour, perpetually tired appearance and particularly demanding teaching methods conceal a hero who is deeply committed to the safety and progress of his pupils.

His Alter, Erasure, allows him to temporarily neutralise a person’s Alter simply by keeping his gaze fixed on them. This ability makes him a particularly dangerous opponent for fighters who rely heavily on their powers. His Alter does, however, have one major limitation: its effect ceases whenever Aizawa has to close his eyes, such as when blinking.

To compensate for the relatively non-offensive nature of his Alter, Aizawa has developed a close-quarters fighting style that relies in particular on his capture scarf, which he uses to immobilise, unbalance or throw his opponents. The combination of this equipment, his hand-to-hand combat experience and ‘Erasure’ enables him to take on several enemies simultaneously, despite lacking a directly destructive Quirk.

As *My Hero Academia* progresses, Eraser Head also becomes one of the main mentors to Izuku Midoriya and Class 1-A. Behind his stern demeanour, he proves willing to take considerable risks to protect his pupils, making him one of the most important teachers and professional heroes in the series.
