Koku Hanabata, alias Trumpet, ascends as a politician and high-ranking Meta Liberation Army strategist, later commanding authority as a Paranormal Liberation Front lieutenant. A fervent advocate for unrestrained Quirk use, he condemns societal limitations as tyranny, spearheading the Hearts and Mind Party to manipulate legislation and public sentiment toward his faction’s agenda. His Quirk, Incite, electrifies allies’ physical and mental prowess through vocal commands amplified by electromagnetic waves—effects intensifying with volume but taxing recipients over time. To harness this power, he wields Detnerat’s Sevens Loud mask, its seven speakers concealed as sleek wristbands when dormant. At Deika City, he exhibits unyielding leadership, steadying Meta Liberation forces amid Curious’s demise through calculated rhetoric and psychological manipulation. While his composed demeanor sustains morale, arrogance surfaces when rivals like Spinner question his authority. Post-merger with the League of Villains, he pledges allegiance to Tomura Shigaraki, persuaded by Re-Destro’s framing of the union as Destro’s true legacy. Though his Incite Quirk could theoretically empower legions, the Paranormal Liberation War sidelines him abruptly; off-screen defeat and arrest dismantle his political foothold, dissolving the Hearts and Mind Party. Visually distinctive with swept-back black hair framing his face, yellow-tinted glasses housing purple lenses, and tailored business attire, Hanabata’s prowess prioritizes rallying strength (A-rank) and tactical cunning (B-rank), overshadowing his negligible combat skill. His arc encapsulates populist demagoguery and ideological strife, his influence dwindling post-merger yet enduring as a symbol of the series’ central conflict: collective liberation clashing with authoritarian ambition.
