Katsuki Bakugou
爆豪勝己
Katsuki Bakugo is Deku's childhood friend and rival in My Hero Academia. His explosive Quirk matches his equally explosive personality - aggressive, prideful, and driven to be the best.
Overview
Katsuki Bakugo is Izuku Midoriya's childhood friend, rival and classmate in U.A. Class 1-A in My Hero Academia. His Quirk, Explosion, lets him detonate the nitroglycerin-like sweat from his palms.
Arrogant and aggressive from the start, Bakugo bullied Izuku for being Quirkless, and his shame over his role in Izuku receiving One For All becomes a major turning point. He finishes first in the U.A. Sports Festival and takes the hero name Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight.
Bakugo's growth into a genuinely heroic figure is one of the series' central arcs. He is voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto in Japanese and Clifford Chapin in English.
