Yawara Chatora, also known as the hero Tiger, serves as a professional hero and member of the Wild Wild Pussycats team. He boasts a muscular build standing 190 cm tall, characterized by short brown hair, a triangle-shaped beard, and distinctive blank white eyes with black markings around them. His standard attire is a brown variant of the Pussycats' costume, including a miniskirt, reflecting his personal expression regardless of traditional gender norms. Official materials note Chatora underwent gender-affirming surgery in Thailand, transitioning from female to male before his hero career.
Chatora projects a strict, intimidating, and macho personality, often radiating a fear-inducing aura. He approaches hero training with intense seriousness, emphasizing pushing physical limits—like urging students to "break their muscles" for greater regeneration—and physically disciplining slackers. Despite this stern exterior, he exhibits deep loyalty and protectiveness towards teammates and students, reacting with visible rage when Pixie-Bob is assaulted by Magne. His profound bond with the Pussycats drives his actions in critical missions like the Jaku Hospital evacuation and the Final War.
His combat capabilities center on his Quirk, "Pliabody" (or "Flexibility"), granting extreme bodily elasticity for bending and contorting at will. This synergizes with enhanced physical strength, demonstrated by immobilizing Magne and countering Izuku Midoriya’s 5% One For All attack. He utilizes a "Cat Combat" fighting style leveraging speed and flexibility. Official stat books rank his power as top-tier (5/6 A), with balanced proficiency in speed, technique, and cooperativeness.
Chatora participates in multiple major conflicts. During the Forest Training Camp Arc, he trains U.A. students and battles the League of Villains, confronting Magne and Spinner to protect Pixie-Bob. In the Hideout Raid Arc, he joins the operation to rescue Katsuki Bakugo and Ragdoll, surviving All For One’s warehouse-destroying assault despite severe injuries. He and the Pussycats later retire temporarily after Ragdoll’s Quirk is stolen, but return to active duty to support her reinstatement as a support secretary.
In the Paranormal Liberation War Arc, Chatora aids patient evacuations during the Jaku Hospital raid. He witnesses Pixie-Bob’s failed attempt to contain Tomura Shigaraki’s Decay Quirk and rescues her from the collapsing structure. Amid nationwide chaos post-war, the Pussycats continue hero work and train U.A.’s Class 1-A. During the Final War Arc, Chatora fights at Gunga Mountain, aiding the initial containment of All For One’s forces. He endures Twice’s clones and Dabi’s self-destructive inferno, regrouping with surviving heroes after Shoto Todoroki neutralizes the thermal threat.
His background includes early team activities depicted in *My Hero Academia: Vigilantes*, where the Pussycats assist in defending Tokyo Sky Egg against villains during Captain Celebrity’s farewell event.
