5
6	The main protagonist of the story. An awkward but gentle-hearted boy who enrolled into U.A. under the persuasion of his master in the hopes of controlling his incredible quirk. Despite his enrollment, Mob frequently questions if he has what it takes to be a hero. His quirk is '''Telekinesis'''.
7	----
8	* DarkIsNotEvil: His hero costume plus mask are black and he's a good hearted boy.
9	* TheDitherer: Mob's main conflict in the story is whether he wants to be a hero because he wants to or because others want him to be one.
10	* EmotionalPowers: Mob's quirk is powered by his emotions. The more they build up inside him, the stronger his telekinesis becomes.
11	* {{Foil}}: To Izuku, the deuteragonist. While both of them have powerful quirks and want to use their powers to help others, Mob was born with his quirk and doesn't want to use it as much in fear of hurting others. He also believes that everyone is equal regardless of what type of quirk they have.
12	* HatesBeingTouched: As stated above, he doesn't like it when strangers touch him on a whim. Only his master and his closest friends can do so to minor degrees.
13	* InSeriesNickname: Referred to as "Mob" by his friends and master. Bakugou calls him "Bowl for Brains".
14	* InnocentlyInsensitive: Mob openly stating how he's no different from his classmates regarding quirks strikes a nerve with Izuku who learned from experience that not all people are born on equal level.
15	* LiteralMinded: His manner of thinking is considered blunt and simplistic. Present Mic even mentions how he takes everything described to him in a literal way.
16	* MartialPacifist: Mob personally doesn't enjoy how U.A. encourages its students to hurt each other with their quirks. And while he will use his telekinesis to tranquilize a violent situation, Mob hopes that he can become a hero without resorting to using violence. Unfortunately for him, the staff does not agree with his belief.
17	* MindOverMatter: His quirk allows him to levitate and move any object or person.
18	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He has this reaction after [[spoiler:he uses his quirk to harm a villain with his own fire power. To Mob, he counts it as a failure for using his quirk to hurt someone]].
19	* SincerityMode: Mob's way of speaking involves giving short and straightforward answers.
20	* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:Mob can still go into ???% whenever he's knocked unconscious and becomes disturbingly violent towards anything he perceives as a threat]].

32	* {{Foil}}: To Mob, the protagonist. While both of them have incredible quirks and want to help others through the hero life, Izuku grew up quirkless and feels that he needs to use OFA as much as possible, even if it costs him his physical being. He also learned and accepted early on that not everyone was born on equal level.
33	* GlassCannon: He ends up breaking his bones everytime he uses OFA's impressive power.
34	* GreenEyedMonster: He often feels jealousy towards Mob for being blessed with an incredibly strong quirk and even having the opportunity to apprentice under a hero before going into U.A.
35	* HeroWithBadPublicity: [[spoiler:After the Sports Festival, Izuku has developed a bad reputation among many Hero companies deeming him as too much of a liability because of his self-destructive quirk]].
36	* MotorMouth: Can talk non-stop when it comes to analyzing a person's quirk or asking himself a variety of questions on a single subject.
37	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He feels ashamed of himself for [[spoiler:yelling at Mob despite the bowl cut boy showing concern for his well being. He also feels frustrated that he couldn't keep neither Mob or All Might's promises]].

113	* InnocentlyInsensitive: Him encouraging Izuku to go all out with his quirk in order to show the world who he is has resulted in the boy breaking his body and going to the emergency room on a daily basis.

126	* JerkassHasAPoint: Aizawa explains to Reigen that most of the kids who enter U.A. have shallow dreams of becoming big-shot heroes without realizing the consequences that come with the title. His extremist methods are meant to show them what the real world is like for heroes.

144
145	Mob's master and the Greatest Hero of Spice City. A shifty man with a silver tongue and a not-so HiddenHeartOfGold, he encourages Mob to become a hero so he can better control his quirk and offers moral support throughout his journey. It's all but stated that he's quirkless.
146	----
147	* AllLovingHero: He still has his heart of gold and offers kindness wherever he can. The biggest example is him [[spoiler:offering a job opportunity to a random teenager that tried to mug him]].

155	* GoshDangItToHeck: He doesn't like swearing in front of Mob and tries very hard to censor himself so that his pupil won't copy his vice.
156	* InformedPoverty: It's heavily implied that Reigen's family was one of the families impacted by Spice City's financial crisis. His financial situation hasn't improved in the present day given his use of coupons to pay for meals and how the Heroics Consultation Office building, which doubles as his apartment, is not in the best condition.
157	* LikesClarkKentHatesSuperman: {{Inverted}}. He's a huge All Might fan but he doesn't trust Toshinori based on his questionable training methods.
158	* PapaWolf: He becomes protective of Mob when [[spoiler:the paparazzi and random strangers begin to harass him for winning the Sports Festival]].

173	Mob's younger brother. Despite the age difference, he cares deeply for his brother and wants to protect him however he can.

174	----
175	* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Ritsu is now born with a quirk but it's currently unknown as to what exactly it is. It's implied to be some kind of emotion projection, though he can't always control it.
