Saito was a classmate of Himiko Toga.[1]
Appearance#
Saito bears a surprisingly strong resemblance to Izuku Midoriya, possessing the same wide eyes, a mess of fluffy hair with prominently dark shadows cast over it, as well as a similar physique. He differs in that his hair and eyes are black instead of green, and he lacked freckles.
He wore the official uniform of his institute, which consisted of a light-colored dress shirt and tie, as well as a dark blue blazer.[2] He was also seen wearing a dark blue t-shirt that says "Sometimes Tuesday".[3]
Personality#
Not much is known about his personality, but according to the people who knew him, Saito was really popular with everyone at his school. During a flashback of Himiko's past, he is seen fighting someone, although the reasons for this are unknown.
History#
Saito attended the same middle school as Himiko, where she soon developed a crush on him. She wanted to ask Saito for some of his blood, but refrained, knowing that he would turn her down and see her as a freak.[3]
At some point for an unknown reason, Saito got into a fight with someone and was bloodied and bruised from the event. Seeing him like this caused Himiko's true feelings to spike. Succumbing to her Quirk's influence, she attacked Saito with a box cutter and drank his blood through a straw. Himiko cried in joy at finally acting upon her true self and was reported by a schoolmate to have a look of ecstasy on her face.
The incident was soon made public, causing Himiko to flee from middle school and her home, beginning her life as a Villain.[2]

Trivia#
- Saito's shirt that reads "Sometimes Tuesday" not only references the Shonen Jump slogan "Every Monday", but also acts as another parallel to Izuku, who also wears t-shirts with mundane slogans on them.
