Denki Kaminari, training as the hero Chargebolt at U.A. High School, originates from Saitama Prefecture. He is 16 years old, born June 29, standing 168 cm tall with blond hair featuring a natural black lightning-shaped streak in his bangs and golden-yellow eyes; he later bears a scar on his upper left forehead. His initial hero costume is a black jacket with white lightning patterns, black pants, and an earpiece. Evolved versions gain a yellow-rimmed lightning bolt on each shoulder, a V-neck shirt, a choker, a headset with a blue visor, and upgraded Sharpshooting Gear on his forearm. His post-graduation costume becomes more streamlined with ammunition capsules and additional white patterns. Social, energetic, and friendly, Kaminari displays casual and blunt interactions. He enjoys following trends, playing video games, listening to rock and heavy metal music, and appreciates burnt toast, hamburgers, sunflowers, and candy corn. Academically, he struggles significantly, showing disinterest in classes and experiencing anxiety during tests, requiring extensive study assistance. This contributes to perceptions of low intelligence, though he demonstrates unexpected knowledge in literature, art, and music. He exhibits flirtatious behavior toward female classmates, frequently partnering with Minoru Mineta in unsuccessful schemes, leading to habitual rejection that he handles resiliently. In combat, he initially panics under stress, risking indiscriminate quirk use, but grows more strategic and confident when allies are safe. Exceeding his quirk’s wattage limit induces a temporary state of diminished cognition, marked by giggling and thumbs-up gestures. His primary ability is the Electrification quirk, allowing electricity discharge from his body for offense or defense. Offensive uses include close-range paralysis (Human Stun Gun) and wide-area attacks (Indiscriminate Shock at 1.3 million or 2 million volts), the latter causing brain short-circuiting upon overuse. Defensively, he acts as a lightning rod to neutralize external electrical attacks. Quirk limitations involve poor directional control and collateral risk to allies, mitigated later by Support Gear. His Sharpshooting Gear includes disc-shaped pointers fired from his forearm device, enabling targeted electro-shots (Target Electro) within 10 meters and an optical visor for tracking. He also wields a communication earpiece susceptible to interference. Development occurs through key events: At the U.S.J. incident, he incapacitates multiple villains but displays combat anxiety. During the U.A. Sports Festival, he defeats a villain bot but loses to Ibara Shiozaki after her vines resist his electricity. This informs his later strategy in the Joint Training Battle, where he acts as a decoy against Ibara, enabling teammates to secure victory. At the Provisional Hero License Exam, he teams with Katsuki Bakugo and Eijiro Kirishima to subdue Seiji Shishikura using his Sharpshooting Gear for precision. On Nabu Island, he counters Nine’s lightning attacks by absorbing them and assists against Mummy. Interning with The Lurkers (Edgeshot, Kamui Woods, Mt. Lady) hones his teamwork and combat efficiency. During the Paranormal Liberation War, he sustains a forehead injury but contributes to critical battles. Eight years post-war, he graduates as the No. 44 Pro Hero, with enhanced gear and taller, leaner physique. Relationships include a friendship with Minoru Mineta over shared humorous and flirtatious tendencies. He bonds with Eijiro Kirishima through classroom proximity and mutual support. Interactions with Kyoka Jiro involve frequent teasing from her about his intellect, though they collaborate during U.S.J. and battle trials. Initial fear of Katsuki Bakugo evolves into camaraderie, recognizing Bakugo’s dedication. He respects Momo Yaoyorozu, who aids his academics and combines quirk with his for the Electromagnetic Rail Gun move.
