Futo is a young man of seemingly average height with long, blond hair, albeit styled into a beehive-like hairstyle and a roundish face. He has small, thin-laid eyes and thick eyebrows that are almost always pointed downward. He is also always seen wearing his U.A. gym uniform.
Personality#
As part of the Department of Management's business course, he focuses on all his talents on heroic businesses, such as how marketable Heroes can be, namely Izuku during the U.A. Sports Festival.[2]
He does, however, showcase a passionate side, such as rebutting against Maina's thoughts on filming the heroes battle during the Final War, as he wishes to show society how and why the heroes were able to achieve victory.[3] He also feels some regret in not having done it sooner when Japan placed all its blame on Endeavor.[4]
