Ichimoku Samazu is a middle schooler from My Hero Academia: Vigilantes.
Appearance#
Ichimoku is a tall middle schooler with short black hair that is swept back in a pompadour and a small moustache.
He dresses himself as a typical Yankii (Japanese delinquent) and wears a pair of goggles with mufflers on either side, slit through the center as a visor, that he uses with his Quirk. He wears a plain black gakuran with black shoes and an armlet.
Personality#
Even though he looks intimidating, he is very kind and polite to his friends, and, being a fan and follower of Pop☆Step, he is willing to assist the Vigilantes in capturing distributors of Trigger.
Abilities#
Quirk#
Beams From His Eyes: Ichimoku's Quirk gives him the ability to shoot lasers from his eyes at his opponents. His eyes are blocked by a set of visor-like goggles, so it is not known if his Quirk is permanently activated.
Ultimate Moves#
- Meganetic Blaster: Ichimoku shoots a powerful beam from his eyes.
