* AnimalMotifs: He has a noticeable thing for rabbits. ''Manga/OumagadokiDoubutsuen'' has a protagonist who's a large humanoid rabbit. All Might has tufts of hair that point up like rabbit ears, which led to Deku's first hero costume resembling a rabbit due to trying to emulate his hero. Then there's Miruko, whose whole powerset is literally just that she has attributes of a rabbit.

* PromotedFanboy:
** While it probably isn't surprising to hear that he was a fan of ''Shōnen Jump'' as a boy; Creator/EiichiroOda opened the question and answer section of ''Manga/OnePiece'' [[http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_77 Volume 77]], by showing off fan art Horikoshi submitted roughly ten years ago, that subsequently got featured in the 23rd Volume:
--->'''Oda:''' The same person who, as a boy, submitted this postcard, is now a widely recognized and extremely successful professional mangaka himself!! Not only that, but his work actually ended up being serialized in the Shonen Jump magazine right alongside "ONE PIECE" itself!! This news gives me ecstatic joy. You see, a bit back at the Jump new years event, he himself actually came forward and told me about this. You should've told me earlier, I would've totally rooted for you!!
** He was tabbed to make [[https://cdn.animenewsnetwork.com/thumbnails/max1000x1500/cms/interest/125127/sw_horikoshi_fixw_640_hq.jpg a poster]] for the Japanese release of ''Film/StarWarsTheLastJedi''. Mere months later, he took part in [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2018/04/11/my-hero-academia-characters-help-promoting-avengers-infinity-war-in-special-collaboration-pvs a special collaboration event]] between ''My Hero Academia'' and the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse to promote ''Academia''[='=]s third anime season and ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', complete with the ''Academia'' cast in their own version of the ''Infinity War'' poster, and trailers showing Class 1-A fanboying and fangirling over the Avengers.

* AuthorAppeal: He has a very obvious fixation on hands - several characters in ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' have Quirks that are activated via their hands (Bakugo, Uraraka, Shigaraki), Midoriya is always breaking his fingers which requires close-ups of his hands, [[InvisibleStreaker Hagakure]]'s hero outfit is literally just a pair of floating gloves and some boots, and Tomura Shigaraki even wears several disembodied hands on his person, including one over his face. In his own words, he believes that hands are the most expressive part of the body. In somewhat of a SelfDeprecation, his AuthorAvatar is him wearing a giant hand for a head.
