Ganma Asui is the father of Tsuyu, Samidare and Satsuki Asui and the husband of Bell Asui.
Appearance#
Ganma has a very frog-like appearance, more so than the rest of his family, as he appears to have the head of a brown toad. He is a tall, stocky, middle-aged man with black, short-cropped hair and black eyes.
He wears a plain business suit with a blue-dotted tie. In the anime, a green frog clip rests in the middle of his tie.
Personality#
Not much is known about his personality at this time. It is likely that he exhibits a caring demeanor, much like a typical good father stereotype. The reading of his name as stubborn horse could allude to his possible obstinate demeanor.
History#
At some point, he met Bell and the two married and had three children. Since Ganma and Bell often have to travel for work often. He lets his eldest child, Tsuyu, take care of her younger siblings, Samidare and Satsuki.[1]
Final War Arc#
In the aftermath of the Paranormal Liberation War, widespread chaos has destroyed society, plunging the whole country into total disarray. As the result of this, Ganma and his family were forced to move into a evacuation center for safety while his oldest daughter, Tsuyu, heads out to join the Heroes in the Final War against an army of villains led by All For One.
As he and his family stays in the evacuation center, he and his family watched the live broadcast of the war, particularly the final battle between Izuku Midoriya and Tomura Shigaraki. The Asui family watches their oldest daughter with astonishment as she and Mezo Shoji help Izuku get through "All For One's" horde of attacks to the villain while the younger siblings all cheer for her.[2]
