Jurota Shishida, hero name Gevaudan, trains as a Pro Hero student in U.A. High School's Class 1-B. Born March 26th in Akita Prefecture, he stands 174 cm (5'8½") tall. His physical appearance presents a notably beastly physique, featuring shaggy brown hair covering most of his body, a pronounced jaw with protruding lower canines, and small rectangular glasses with thick lenses. His hero costume includes pants, dark brown boots with fur lining, a shirt collar without an attached shirt, and stylized goggles replacing his regular glasses. Activating his Quirk drastically increases his size, thickens his hair, and makes his fangs more prominent.
Shishida's personality blends intellectualism and formality; he speaks verbosely and employs respectful titles like "sir" and "miss," a trait attributed to his upbringing in a well-mannered, doting family. However, his Quirk's transformation induces a wild, energetic, and reckless state. He admires Pro Hero Hound Dog's unrestrained demeanor yet feels constrained by his own refined background. Shishida enjoys taking naps and hails from a wealthy family.
His Quirk, **Beast**, enables transformation into a monstrous beast-man, drastically enhancing his physical capabilities. **Enhanced Strength** allows him to send opponents crashing through walls, tear through industrial piping, and execute powerful leaps that damage surfaces. **Enhanced Speed** grants agility to evade surprise attacks and traverse terrain swiftly, even on all fours. **Enhanced Durability** lets him withstand high-impact assaults and electricity-based attacks without significant impairment. **Enhanced Senses** sharpen his hearing and smell for tracking targets and anticipating threats. While transformed, Shishida retains strategic intellect despite increased euphoria. His Ultimate Moves include **Roaring Rage**, a leaping claw strike, and **Re-Beast**, reverting to human form to dodge attacks before instantly retransforming for counteroffensives.
Shishida debuted during the U.A. Sports Festival Arc, placing 29th in the obstacle race. He later participated in the cavalry battle alongside Hiryu Rin but failed to advance. During the Forest Training Camp Arc, he assisted in security operations. His most significant showcase occurred in the Joint Training Arc, leading Class 1-B's first-round strategy against Class 1-A. He deduced opponents' tracking tactics, used Ibara Shiozaki as a decoy, initiated surprise attacks, and despite electrocution by Denki Kaminari, subdued Koji Koda and Eijiro Kirishima. This performance earned him an internship with the Lion Hero Shishido, refining his combat foresight and flurry techniques.
Later, during the Paranormal Liberation War Arc, Shishida joined the villa backup team to stall Gigantomachia. He collaborated with Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu and others to set traps, using ropes to impede the giant's advance. By the series' conclusion, he graduated from U.A. and became a professional Pro Hero.
Trivia notes indicate his hero name references the Beast of Gévaudan, a man-eating wolf from French folklore. His design bears resemblance to Marvel's Beast (Henry McCoy), and his Quirk's "Roaring Rage" move parallels Winston's "Primal Rage" from *Overwatch*. His given name incorporates the kanji for "beast" (獣), while "Shishi" (獅子) means "lion".
