Shinya Kamihara, the Pro Hero Edgeshot, stands among Japan’s elite heroes with his ninja-themed prowess and strategic intellect. His physique blends a lean, muscular frame with a stature shorter than typical top-tier heroes. Distinctive gray hair forms three jagged spikes obscuring the right side of his face, while dark gray eyes peer through a mask shielding his nose and mouth, a slender mustache visible beneath. His attire fuses traditional shinobi elements with modern flair: a blue mask secured by red yarn, crimson shinobi shozoku, and a dark blue robe. Red straps cascade from his belt, complemented by a gold shoulder mask, white forearm sleeves wrapped in dark fabric, and a vivid red scarf adorned with a white patch. Yellow zori sandals and blue socks complete his ensemble.
A U.A. High alumnus, Shinya co-founded the Textile Arts Association with Tsunagu Hakamada, cementing a lifelong alliance. Rising from No. 5 to No. 4 in hero rankings post-All Might’s retirement, he commands The Lurkers—a team featuring Kamui Woods and Mt. Lady. During the Kamino Incident, they aided the Hideout Raid Team to rescue Katsuki Bakugo. In the Final War, Shinya sacrificed himself using his Zenith technique, threading his body into Bakugo’s wounds to revive him, leaving himself diminished to a thread with a miniature head.
Calm and methodical, Shinya exudes shinobi discipline, steadying allies mid-chaos and dissecting enemy tactics swiftly, such as unraveling All For One’s Warping Quirk after one encounter. His boldness shines in confrontations with All For One and selfless acts like risking his life for Bakugo.
His Foldabody Quirk lets him stretch his form into supersonic, razor-edged threads for mobility, infiltration, or precision strikes. Prolonged thinning strains his lifespan. Techniques include Fishhook Snag (threading limbs to ensnare foes), Spiral Spear Hand (piercing thrusts), Substitution Jutsu (evasive log replacement), Thousand Sheet Pierce (pressure-point strikes), and Zenith (medical sutures via extreme elongation).
