Mashirao Ojiro, the U.A. High School Class 1-A student training as a Pro Hero under the alias Tailman, boasts a muscular physique, blond hair, and a defining hairless tail tipped with a tuft of fur—the foundation of his Quirk. Born on May 28, his hero costume initially pairs a traditional karate gi with a fur-lined collar and black boots, later evolving post-graduation into a sleeker design with inverted black-and-white coloring, white fur accents, and tactical communication headphones. Renowned for his composed humility and principled integrity, Ojiro prioritizes honor above accolades. His withdrawal from the U.A. Sports Festival tournament—after deducing Hitoshi Shinso’s Brainwashing Quirk unfairly influenced his team’s victory—stands as a testament to his unwavering ethics. Though often underestimated for his “ordinary” Quirk and understated demeanor, he channels quiet resolve into relentless martial arts training, refusing to let perceived limitations define his potential. The Tail Quirk grants Ojiro a versatile, superhumanly strong appendage, enabling crushing strikes, acrobatic propulsion, and swift aerial redirection. He synergizes this physical prowess with karate mastery, devising combat techniques such as the Tornado Tail Dance, a spinning mid-air assault, and the Swamp Smack Spin, a defensive whirlwind to scatter adversaries. Early critiques of his predictability spurred rigorous mentorship under Pro Hero Shishido, refining his tactics into fluid, strategic engagements that exploit opponents’ weaknesses. Academically, Ojiro secured 7th place in the Quirk Apprehension Test and 8th in midterms, balancing physical dominance with sharp intellect. His combat contributions span critical missions: repelling villains at U.S.J., aiding Nabu Island against the villain Nine, and outmaneuvering Class 1-B’s Sen Kaibara and Pony Tsunotori in the Joint Training Battle. During the Provisional Hero License Exam, his coordinated rescue efforts with classmates clinched his license despite formidable trials. As the No. 32 Pro Hero post-graduation, Ojiro adopts a refined appearance—shorter hair, a cross-shaped cheek scar—and a battle style emphasizing tactical precision. Spin-off media humorously nods to his “forgettable” reputation, yet narratives consistently highlight his reliability, from internships sharpening strategic insight to alliances with peers like Fumikage Tokoyami during high-stakes operations. Interpersonally, Ojiro fosters respectful camaraderie, whether advising Izuku Midoriya on countering Shinso’s Quirk, steadying classmates post-conflict, or collaborating with Toru Hagakure. His journey epitomizes quiet perseverance, merging martial discipline with incremental growth to forge an identity distinct amid peers wielding flashier powers.
