Kinoko Komori, hero name Shemage, attends U.A. High School’s Class 1-B as a student from Gunma Prefecture. Her Mushroom Quirk releases fungal spores from her body, rapidly sprouting diverse mushrooms on any surface—including adversaries’ skin or internal organs—for 2–3 hours. Humid conditions amplify their growth, aided by her Shroom-Shooter spray bottles that boost environmental moisture for efficient spore dispersal.
Initially shy, Kinoko concealed her eyes behind bangs during the U.A. Sports Festival, projecting reserved demeanor. Over time, her confidence grew; by the Joint Training Battle, she strategized aggressively, leveraging mushrooms to flood opponents. She famously incapacitated Fumikage Tokoyami by cultivating fungi in his throat and lungs, later expressing regret for the harsh tactic.
Her hero costume blends whimsy and function: a fly agaric-patterned dress, mushroom-cap hat, and knee-high boots. When visible, her cross-shaped pupils mirror sliced shiitake gills. Post-graduation attire adopted striped motifs and a witch-like pointed hat.
In the Paranormal Liberation War, Kinoko raided Gunga Mountain Villa, sprouting mushrooms to obstruct enemies’ airways and movements—though fire-based Quirks nullified her spores. She later helped subdue Gigantomachia by dispersing sedatives, hindered by environmental factors. During the Final War, she retreated under Dabi’s flames and Himiko Toga’s clones but persisted in aiding Pro Heroes against villains.
Playful and inventive, Kinoko peppers speech with mushroom puns and mycological terms. She dreams of becoming an idol hero, adores Gothic Lolita fashion, and demonstrates kindness—like offering Tokoyami post-battle throat lozenges. Her makeup expertise shone during Class 1-B’s school festival performance.
Eight years post-graduation, Kinoko emerged as a Pro Hero and began dating classmate Shihai Kuroiro. While official records understate her Quirk’s potential for toxic or hallucinogenic varieties, her tactical spore manipulation and environmental control cement her reputation as a strategic support specialist.
