U.A. High School#
Class 1-A#
As the vice class representative, Momo serves as one of Class 1-A's official leaders, second only to Tenya Ida. The class highly respects Momo for her intelligence and friendly demeanor, and are willing to follow her lead or provide her emotional support. Most of the class also tends to be overwhelmed by her rich background, but does not hold it against her.
Shoto Todoroki#
Shoto and Momo are considered close friends, both holding admiration, trust, respect, and care for the other.
Momo and Shoto both are students who got into U.A. High School through official recommendations, and both have powerful Quirks. They cemented themselves as top of the class early on, with Momo scoring first and Shoto second in the Quirk Apprehension Test. During the Battle Trial, both of them commented on Katsuki Bakugo's skillful use of his Explosion Quirk. During them evaluation of his fighting style they both voiced thoughts that mirrored each other, showing they share a somewhat similar thought process when it comes to certain things.
When Momo's confidence was crushed due to her loss to Fumikage Tokoyami in the Sports Festival, followed by her shallow Internship with Uwabami, Momo begins to struggle in comparing herself to others, one of those being Shoto. She believes that he's always a step ahead of her; not having self-confidence in herself. However, as the same time, she admires Shoto's brimming self-confidence as a Hero, and considers him to be the most capable student in their class.[1]
For his part, Shoto has respect for Momo's observation skills and natural leadership, evidenced as he was the one to vote for her during the Class President election, as he thinks that she is perfectly fit for the role of being a leader. He later chooses Momo for his team during the Cavalry Battle in the U.A. Sports Festival, having noted her prowess earlier during the Obstacle Race and relying on her a fair bit, but she feels she was only following his orders and not doing anything of her own merit.
During the practical end-of-term test, Momo is paired with Shoto against Eraser Head, due to them both being over-reliant on their Quirks.[2] He quickly comes up with a plan of action, and Momo goes along even though she knows it has flaws. Throughout the exam, her low self-confidence causes her to panic and be indecisive, with Shota noting that she was relying on Shoto far too much. However, Momo regains her confidence once Shoto, who was captured by Eraser Head, realizes his poor communication and how she forwent expressing her own opinions due to her self-doubt, seeing that that she needs to be encouraged. Shoto reveals he had voted for her to be class president and holds faith in her abilities, saying that she's better at formulating plans than he is; this inspires Momo and gives her the confidence needed to not only free Shoto but also outwit and capture Eraser Head with his help, proving that they make a great team and work flawlessly together.[3]
After the exam they become notably closer, with Shoto having a lasting impact on Momo, as he is always there to encourage her when she begins to doubt herself once more. Shoto also helped Momo learn that people have different skills that can occasionally complement each other, and they both help each other grow through their problems.
When Wolfram and his gang invaded I-Island, during the I-Island Incident, when Shoto decides to stay behind and hold off the villains with Katsuki so everyone and the others can escape. Momo calls out his name in worry, and he reassures her that he'll be fine and she needs to keep her eyes on the goal without worrying about him before he disappears from view. His short message refocuses Momo, as she holds faith that he will be okay and refocuses on saving I-Island with the rest of the group.[4] After the Incident is resolved, they can be seen eating together.
Shoto also asks Momo to help him, along with Izuku and Tenya, to rescue Katsuki without needing to fight when the latter is captured by the League of Villains. Momo agrees to help due to the trust and faith she holds in Shoto.
Shoto is someone Momo finds confidence in and someone she looks to in times of crisis. During the Provisional Hero License Exam, Momo thinks about what Shoto would do (as well as Tenya and Izuku) in order to calm herself and come up with a proper strategy to save her friends. Later, she is happy to see that Shoto was the first one to pass the first phase of the exam and approaches him to converse with a smile. When Shoto ultimately fails the exam, she can be seem looking at him in worry.
When Endeavor's fight against Hood is being broadcast, upon Shoto entering the common room filled with his classmates and seeing his injured father on screen, Momo is the first and only one to turn around and calls his name in worry, as a means to check on him as he is filled with tense anticipation watching his father's battle. She is also seen among the group of students comforting him after they witness Endeavor's victory.
After Shoto completes the Remedial Courses, Momo congratulates him along with Tenya, and Shoto smiles softly at both of them with thanks.
Following the Paranormal liberation War, Momo visits Shoto in the hospital after his battle with Dabi and attempts to comfort him alongside her classmates. She also stays by his side as long as possible, before leaving to give him and his family privacy for their conversation.
Before the battle to bring Izuku back to U.A., Shoto and Momo are seen effortlessly coordinating to immobilize and capture the villain that Katsuki defeated.
Kyoka Jiro#
Momo and Kyoka are best friends. Along with Denki Kaminari, the two battle against the League of Villains at the U.S.J. proving that they work well together. Kyoka was later one of the classmates to ask Momo for tutoring for the end of term test, and she happily accepted.
When the class split went shopping for the training camp, they pair up and go off shopping together. Kyoka has also proven to be somewhat defensive of her, as during the summer training camp, she punches Hanta Sero for comparing Momo's Quirk ability to convert lipids at an atomic level into many different objects to defecation. Momo later joins Kyoka's band, playing the keyboard during the School Festival and they pull off a wonderful performance with the teamwork of all of Class 1-A.
Before Wolfram and his gang invaded I-Island. Ochaco, Momo, and Kyoka came late before meeting everyone. When Momo and Kyoka meet up with their group, Kyoka was seen hiding behind Momo as she was feeling shy. When Wolfram invaded the Island, at the on 138th floor the server room when facing against the I-Island Security Bots Momo created a cannon for Kyoka to use against the bots while Momo created soft ammo for Kyoka to use. During the fight with Wolfram they both cheered for Izuku and All Might alongside the rest of the present Class A members when the duo was about to defeat Wolfram.[5]
When Nine invaded Nabu Island on the search for Katsuma Shimano's Cell Activation Quirk. The two were paired up to together as reinforcements and to aid their inquired classmates. After Nine and his gang retreated, both Momo and Denki were helping with emergency supplies. Kyoka watched as both her and Denki were overusing their Quirks, worried for them.[6]
Denki Kaminari#
Denki and Momo seem to be pretty good friends. They battle against the League of Villains at the U.S.J. alongside Kyoka Jiro, and combine their quirks in order to defeat many of the enemies. They also both join Shoto Todoroki's team in the Cavalry Battle during the Sports Festival and win the event. Later Momo tutors Denki for the end of terms exam alongside several other classmates.
During the U.A. School Festival, they're both part of the Class 1-A band. Before the Wild, Wild Pussycats visit to the dorms, they were talking and laughing together. At the beginning of the battle against the Paranormal Liberation Front at the Gunga Mountain Villa, Momo reassures Kyoka that Denki will be fine.
After the U.A floating fortress is evacuated in the Final War, Denki leans on Momo for support and confides her about his worries about Izuku Midoriya. Then they join the battle against All For One and combine their quirks to create an Electromagnetic Rail Gun.
Minoru Mineta#
Momo despises Minoru's perverted behavior towards her and her female classmates, and she often gets frustrated and saddened whenever she falls for his shenanigans. She was especially embarrassed during the U.A. Sports Festival when Minoru attached himself to her back using his Quirk in order to ride her through the Obstacle Race and finish on time, as well as when he and Denki tricked her and the girls into wearing cheerleader outfits.
Momo sits behind Minoru in their class and is usually seen rebuking him with angered or disgusted looks when he goes on about perverted things. Despite this, she did show to be happy for him when he passed his Final Exam battle against Midnight, and they are shown getting along om some occasions, like during 1-A's Christmas party.
Momo is shown to be ashamed of Minoru's behavior and how it reflects on her and her classmates. During the training camp, she apologized to Itsuka and the girls from Class 1-B for his attempt to peep on them in the hot springs (his attempt was foiled thanks to help from the 1-A girls), proving that Momo feels accountable for Minoru's actions.
Izuku Midoriya#
Izuku didn't leave the best first impression on Momo in their first few days of school. During the review of his performance in his Battle Trial match, she criticized the damage he caused to the building and his body when trying to defeat Katsuki, as well as overall recklessness and lack of foresight. When both were voted as the class representatives, Momo was disappointed that she was outvoted by the top spot, and her reaction towards how Izuku acted towards the news lightly implied she wasn't that ecstatic about someone with his skittish demeanor filling the role. However, their partnership does not last long due to him stepping down from the position in favor of Tenya taking his place.
Despite these issues, Momo did not seem to harbor any genuine ire towards Izuku back then. She later counts him out of winning the training race following the Hosu Incident, but she's proven wrong and is amazed by his new mastery of his Quirk.[7]
Both students also didn't demonstrate any issues working together on a team, as proven during the I-Island Incident, and later when Izuku, along with Tenya and Momo, would later join Shoto and Eijiro to rescue Katsuki.
Afterward, Momo and Izuku seem to be on friendly terms with each other. Though a genius and expert tactician in her own right she has been shown to look to Izuku for leadership and to follow his plans, showing a level of good respect and confidence in him. She later looks to his declaration in saving Katsuki from the League of Villains as a source of inspiration when fighting Saiko Intelli and her classmates in the Provisional License Exam, which she used to later calm herself down and concoct a plan to pass the exam for both her and her friends. The feeling is mutual for Izuku, as he reveals in his first conversation with Gentle Criminal that he's fortunate to have Momo as his friend.
She later shows concern for him after he left U.A. to track down Tomura Shigaraki and All For One, trying to secure his safety, and later comforting him after his nightmare.
Ochaco Uraraka#
While they do not interact too much, Ochaco and Momo are good friends, like the rest of the girls in Class 1-A.
While Momo feels down after being tricked by Denki and Minoru, Ochaco comforts Momo on the matter.
The pair are seen talking with the other girls about various topics. Soon the subject turns into questions about Ochaco's love life, but Momo respects her privacy and tells the other girls to stop trying to pry into it. Ochaco's greatly appreciative of this but is then left to wonder about her feelings.
After the eight-year timeskip, Momo and Ochaco's friendship is implied to have grown stronger, since she, along with Tenya Ida and Tsuyu Asui joined one of her Quirk counseling tours.
Tenya Ida#
Momo and Tenya are classmates and friends; they often work together to watch over and guide their class as the class vice representative and representative of 1-A respectively. She was a bit annoyed that he got to be the class president despite her getting more votes than him, but she didn't have much issue with him afterwards. They've been seen working together to manage activities such as during preparations of the U.A. School Festival. They both respect each other's leadership and insight and discuss matters related to their class or hero matters from time to time, as they did in Class 1-A's hero office.[8] Momo seems to find confidence in him and trust his judgement, during the Provisional Hero License Exam, she thought of what he'd do (along with Shoto and Izuku) when she was stuck.
Momo explained how Tenya had the best performance during his Battle Trial match. They also went on to work together during the U.A. Sports Festival's Cavalry Battle, wherein Momo complimented his participation. When Tenya opposed plans to save Katsuki from the League of Villains, he was surprised when Momo agreed to help the plan; having a bit of disappointment of her. In turn, Momo was surprised when Tenya punched Izuku during their disagreement.
Overall, they're good friends who work hard to watch over their classmates.
Mina Ashido#
Mina and Momo are great friends and are constantly seen together outside of class hours.
Mina, alongside Kaminari confesses that she hadn’t studied at all for their Final Exams. Momo then drops into the mix, and offers her tutelage to the two, which cheers her up. She and Kaminari later seen arriving at the gate of Momo’s house with Mashirao, Hanta and Kyoka, and shocked by the now apparent size of Momo’s wealth. After the exam, she gladly thanks Momo for her help.
After deciding that live music would be a good fit for 1-A’s contribution to the U.A Festival, Momo offers herself for adding synth sounds to the music, revealing that she had experience as well as interest in piano, which could easily be translated into keyboard. Mina mopes at this, as she’d originally planned for Momo to partake in the dance she was choreographing and was upset to lose her. She then tells Momo she's okay of her leaving the dance squad because she’s so cute, though she remains amusingly saddened.
After the Paranormal Liberation War, Mina, Momo, Kirishima and Shoji go to visit Shoto in the hospital. Momo hugs Mina in an attempt to comfort her as they break down in tears, still mourning the death of Midnight.
Toru Hagakure#
The two girls are close, when the students of Class 1-A where sent to the The Beast's Forest. Momo helped defeat one of Pixie-Bob's Earth Beast by using a cannon when Toru was distracting one of them. When the students of Class 1-A were doing their Ultimate Move Training, the night before the Provisional Hero License Exam, Toru asked how her Ultimate move was going. Momo told her that there was a move that she wants to do but her body wasn't ready for it. Later during the Joint Training Battle, Momo and Toru were grouped together in the 2nd round of battle, but despite their efforts in teamwork during times such as cornering Shihai Kuroiro, in the end they were both ultimately captured by Itsuka Kendo.
Class 1-B#
Itsuka Kendo#
Momo gets along with her, in spite of them being from different classrooms.
Itsuka and Momo intern together under Uwabami. Although they're treated like Uwabami's entourage during their time together, Momo always tries to find a lesson in everything. Itsuka appears to feel sorry for Momo, seeing that she's clearly in denial.[9]
Months later after their internship with Uwabami, she and Itsuka continued to be treated as a pair by fans. However, Itsuka didn't like being lumped in with Momo because she feels Momo has a better Quirk and better grades. Itsuka has always wanted the chance to fight Momo head to head, and the latter accepts her friend's challenge.[10]
Despite Momo losing the second round of the Joint Training Battle, Itsuka is unsatisfied and believes that Momo surpassed her. Later, Momo is accompanied by Itsuka to the Nurse's office. This shows that despite their rivalry, they are friends and care of each other.
Yosetsu Awase#
They may not interact on a regular basis, but Yosetsu has worked with Momo in real battle when the Vanguard Action Squad attacks the Forest Training Camp. The pair were attacked by a powerful Nomu and Momo was injured, forcing Yosetsu to do everything he could to save her life, even protecting her with his own body.[11] Yosetsu develops a small crush on her,[12] but it is unknown if Momo is aware of it.
Setsuna Tokage#
Momo and Setsuna worked together during their second hero work-studies with the Pro-Hero Majestic. [13] They were also invited by the World Heroes Association to go to Singapore and participate in stopping a terrorist anti-Quirk group known as Humarise, in order to defuse any further Trigger Bombs before they go off. After a threat by the Humarise leader Flect Turn, stating that the trigger bombs all around the world will go off in two hours, Momo uses her quirk to create numerous sensors so that Setsuna could use her own quirk to split herself up and spread them around the city to locate the bombs. Once they discover them, they alongside the Singapore Hero Big Red Dot battle the Humarise agents stationed there.[14]
Class 1-H#
Mei Hatsume#
Momo helped Mei during the Final War by providing her and the Support Course students with machine parts. She even encouraged Mei to call her Momoyao which is what her friends call her. She later protects Mei when U.A. was attacked by Himiko Toga's Twice Doubles.
Pro Heroes#
Uwabami#
Momo trained under Uwabami for her internship but was disheartened by the fact that they didn't do any Hero work, instead being selected solely to be in a hair product commercial. Momo repeatedly tried to convince herself that there was something she could learn from the experience, but her internship with Uwabami ultimately proved to be a shallow experience and only worsened her doubts about herself.
