Apparence

Shoto is a reasonably tall, rather muscular young man who is well built for his age. He has fairly long hair, although it doesn't go past his neck, and wears bangs, parted twice so as not to obscure his vision. His hair is evenly divided between two colors: white on his right side and crimson red on his left, this unusual coloring being due to his Quirk. As another result of this, he also has iridium heterochromia, which makes the iris of his left eye appear turquoise, while his right is a dark brownish gray. His eyes, in shape, are quite thin and reserved. In addition, he has a large burn scar on the left side of his face, which extends from his hairline to halfway down his cheek. He generally has a serious expression. Despite this, however, many of the girls in his class have said that he is handsome, and Mina Ashido even goes so far as to say that he is the best-looking guy in Class 1-A.

During school hours, he wears the regular U.S. men's uniform, replacing the usual brown dress shoe with pale cyan and gray lace-up sneakers.

In his original hero costume, he wears a plain white off shirt with matching pants and boots, with two gold suspenders going over his shoulders. He has what appears to be an ice-like material covering his entire left side, even his head, though it is detachable, which he wears as a way to reject the fire aspect of his Quirk.

His updated hero costume consists of a dark blue jacket with sleeves up to the elbow, its collar high and connected in the center by a gray neck, loose pants of the same color, a metal-plated combat vest and white boots, their soles and a thin line running down the center of each of them a darker pale gray. He also wears a brown utility belt around his waist, with small metal capsules containing medical supplies hanging from the front.

Later, in the review arc of the provisional hero license,his costume gains two burgundy wrist guards with metal plating, which help regulate his body temperature after his attacks, and his boots now have a set of straps.

During spring break, Shoto further improves his costume, which has visual similarities to his father's second costume. His wrist guards now have an armor-like reinforcement and come with plating from his wrist to his knuckles. His jacket now has a large blue-gray T-stripe running from his waist to his armpits, and his utility belt now holds two large canisters with his medical supplies. His suit is also a darker shade of blue than his previous suits.

Personality

Shoto originally had a cold and distant personality, which stemmed from his abusive upbringing and complicated family life. Focused and emotionless, Shoto preferred to be alone rather than hang out with other people. After the events of the U.A. Sports Festival, however, Shoto notably became more sociable and kind, even gaining a sense of humor and smiling at times, while retaining some fragments of his previous aloof attitude. After the temporary hero license course, he began to open up more to his classmates and lightened up from his usually serious behavior. Nevertheless, Shoto is still not quite used to socializing, being a bit dense when it comes to understanding certain phrases and figures of speech.

Although usually quiet and reserved, Shoto initially possessed a moderate level of arrogance, which, combined with his solitary tendencies, sometimes forced him to take the initiative regardless of the opinions of others, displaying his confidence that he could face any obstacle with his own strength. He used to be much more hostile too, to the point of making Inasa Yoarashi resent him when he was not wiser. Even in the present, Shoto seems to prefer to act alone, but only for practical purposes, as it allows him to unleash his full power without having to worry about friendly fire. Calm and collected, but brutal in battle, Shoto is firmly grounded in the ethic of heroism, wishing only to subdue his frozen opponents rather than kill them by prolonging the freeze.

Shoto had a deep distaste for his fire abilities, which he inherited from Endeavor, as they symbolized his father's malice towards him and his mother as well as what he was born to be: a tool to overcome all power, a fate he hated. As such, Shoto decided to rely solely on his freezing power and never use the other half of his Quirk in battle, going so far as to cover his left torso and arm with ice in his first hero costume to symbolize his rebellion against his father. Shoto often felt disturbed by Endeavor's mere presence and could barely contain his anger when talking to him, especially whenever the Pro Hero had mentioned the goal he had planned for his son since before he was born.

During his match with Izuku Midoriya at the U.A. Sports Festival, Izuku's speech brought back memories of his mother's words of support, and for the first time since his childhood, Shoto used his firepower in battle. After the battle, Shoto had mixed feelings about using his left side, but after reconciling with his mother, Shoto finally accepted the half he once hated and became willing to train it more. Although he was scarred by her as a young child, Shoto shows no hatred or dislike for his mother, visiting her often since the end of the Sports Festival. Shoto gets his heroic values from All Might, a trait he shares with Izuku and Bakugo, having fond memories of watching the Symbol of Peace on TV with Rei.

However, Shoto's grudge against Endeavor has not yet disappeared, even though he respects his father's ability as a hero, admitting himself that such resentment cannot disappear so easily and that he was wrong to try to bury it. Having been deprived of a normal childhood so that his father could train him to achieve his own selfish ambitions, Shoto still holds various psychological scars, which tend to reappear when others compare him to Endeavor. Because of this and Izuku's influence, Shoto now strives to become a hero, but without following the same path as his father.

Shoto remains relatively cold towards Endeavor and has made it clear that forgiveness for his past treatment of him and his mother is difficult, but has shown concern for his father's safety. Since Endeavor has tried to repair his relationship with his family, Shoto has taken a cautious but hopeful approach to development.

Capabilities

Overall Abilities: Having been trained by his father, Endeavor, at a young age, Shoto entered U.A. High School through recommendations, and was established as one of the strongest students in Class 1-A. He placed 2nd in the Quirk Apprehension Test and the U.A. Sports Festival. Shoto also has excellent control of his versatile and powerful Quirk, Half-Cold Half-Hot, which gives him incredible two-element abilities. Using the right side of his body, Shoto can dramatically reduce temperatures and freeze anything he touches, and generate ice that he can freely mold into many constructs, including ice waves that cover large areas and ice barriers. Shoto also uses his cryokinetic abilities for mobility purposes, such as stacking shards of ice behind his back to propel himself forward, icing the ground to skate on, or his signature move, creating ice tracks that he can surf on. On the left side of his body, Shoto can eloquently increase thermokinetics and release burning flames in the form of consuming streams or protective waves. Overall, Shoto has tremendous power, but due to past decisions and circumstances, such as his intentional neglect of half of his Quirk, he has yet to reach his full potential.


With the help of his friends, Shoto defeats the powerful Chimera.

In the United States,Shoto was able to easily dominate the small villains in the landslide area by himself, and later showed the elite judgment, combat awareness and athletic abilities during the United States Sports Festival. At the festival, Shoto was able to neutralize a Bad Bot-Executor, defeat his fast classmates, Hanta Sero and Tenya Ida, as well as fight to a tie with Izuku Midoriya for an extended period of time to a near draw. In his fight against Izuku, a fan claimed that Shoto was already stronger than the average Pro Hero. When he was pitted against Katsuki Bakugo in the final round of the Sports Festival, there was a chance that Shoto could have won the match using his fire powers, but due to inner turmoil, he turned off his hell, leaving it open to Katsuki's "Howitzer Impact", and losing the match. Starting with the Hosu incident, Shoto began the full embrace of his left side, as well as his pyro-cryogenic interchangeability, especially when he, Izuku and Tenya faced the Hero Killer: Stain. Following his encounter with the Hero Killer, Shoto is recognized as one of the strongest students in Class 1-A, as noted by Pixie-Bob.

While Shoto may possess complete supremacy over his cryomancy, control over his pyrokinesis was initially relatively inept, especially compared to Endeavor's. However, after the third game of the joint training battle, Shoto realized that he had neglected his left side for too long, putting him and his team at a disadvantage, and decided to achieve greater control over his pyrokinetic abilities by learning the fundamentals of Endeavor's signature "Flashfire Fist" technique. Thanks to his training, Shoto's maneuverability on his left side has improved considerably, as he can now use his pyromancy in a variety of ways, such as increasing his movement speed, launching himself into the air, and attacking with flaming punches. And while Shoto is powerful, fighting against the likes of Stain, Wolfram, Moonfish, Mr. Compress, Gang Orca, Chimera, and Tomura Shigaraki requires Shoto's effective camaraderie with multiple people in order to prevail against such formidable opponents. This was hardly the case during the climax of the Paranormal Liberation War, where he faced his brother Dabi in a flame battle that nearly resulted in Shoto being burned alive, were it not for the brief intervention of Izuku. As the Todoroki brothers resumed their full-power pyromantic confrontation, Shoto eventually lost, but Dabi chose to spare his brother, as it would have been pointless to kill him without Endeavor watching.

During the A-class mission to bring Izuku back to the United States after his departure following the events of the war, Shoto showed an even greater mastery of his cryokinetic abilities. In particular, his control over the shape of his ice has become much more refined, being able to form a massive vertical ice pillar with heaven-piercing Ice Wall, and even being able to create a smooth curved ramp without the need for a solid frame. In addition, he has shown the ability to use his signature move, Flashfreeze Heatwave, without needing to cool the air first; now he can simply put his hands together and unleash the power from both sides at once to create the same effect.

Equipment

Hero Suit: Following his winter internship at Endeavor, Shoto has improved his second hero suit. As before, his third suit is designed to optimize the use of his fire and ice sides in battle, and to minimize Shoto's Quirk by regulating his body temperature. But it has been further enhanced to accommodate his increased firepower and new abilities, and includes additional first aid equipment for emergencies.

• Temperature Resistant Vest: Shoto's blue vest is made from a special fire resistant fiber. There is a special device near the neck that senses Shoto's body temperature and supports the vest to help regulate it. The jacket of his third suit is made of a more heat-resistant material and is stiffer than before.
• Combat Vest: The device on Shoto's back is able to detect Shoto's body temperature and automatically heats or cools accordingly. Shoto requested that his original suit have a heating device.
• Utility Belt: There are metal capsules on Shoto's belt that contain water, painkillers and disinfectants, making up a first aid kit. His third suit adds four more first aid capsules, bringing the total to nine; these are held in packs on both sides.
  Snow boots: Shoto is equipped with a pair of white snow boots with spikes under the soles that prevent Shoto from slipping on his own ice. They are further enhanced with straps running across the front of the boots.
• Surge Arm Gauntlets: A further upgrade from his second costume, Shoto has replaced his wrist guards with gauntlets similar to those used by his father Endeavor. While the wrist guards in his previous suit were made from the same material as his vest, these gauntlets are made of metal and are designed to trap hot and cold air inside to help Shoto better compress his ice and fire powers.
