Yawara Chatora, hero name Tiger, operates as a professional hero within the Wild, Wild Pussycats team. He possesses a tall, muscular build, short brown or black hair featuring a small forward-curling lock, and distinctively feline facial features accentuated by white eyes lacking visible pupils or irises. Prominent black zigzag markings frame his eyes, complemented by a triangular marking under his chin. His feline-themed hero costume includes a brown midriff-baring top, a large ruffled skirt, a utility belt with small pouches and a silver cat's paw print buckle, clawed white gloves, brown boots with white stripes and faux fur trim, and a helmet with cat-ear headphones. An orange, black, and yellow striped tail completes the ensemble, noted for its design outside traditional gender norms. Assigned female at birth, Yawara transitioned to male following gender-affirming surgery in Thailand, recognized as one of the series' first explicitly transgender characters. His personality blends strictness and intimidation with deep protectiveness. As an instructor during the U.A. forest training camp, he advocated intense physical conditioning, pushing students to muscle tearing to spur growth, an approach that intimidated many. This protectiveness manifested fiercely towards his teammates, particularly in his enraged reaction to Pixie-Bob's injury during the League of Villains' camp attack. His primary ability is the Quirk "Flexibility" (or "Pliabody"), granting exceptional control to stretch, bend, and flatten his body extensively. This synergizes with his enhanced physical strength, demonstrated when overpowering the villain Magne. His combat style, "Cat Combat," leverages speed and flexibility, aided by retractable claws on his gloves and the cat-ear headset for team communication. Published stats rate his power highly (A or 5/5-6) and cooperative ability highly (B or 5/6), with speed, technique, and intelligence ranging from average to above average. Yawara first appeared in the Forest Training Camp Arc, welcoming U.A. students and overseeing those with strength-enhancing Quirks. He sparred with Izuku Midoriya, critiquing his muscle control. When the League attacked, his fury over Pixie-Bob's incapacitation led him to confront Magne and Spinner. He fought alongside Mandalay, restraining Magne before Kurogiri's portal rescued the villains; this battle involved Kenji Hikiishi (Magne), another transgender character, though their identities were not a narrative focus. During the Hideout Raid Arc, Yawara joined the Kamino Ward operation to rescue Katsuki Bakugo, informing authorities about the League's hideouts and Ragdoll's kidnapping. Infiltrating a damaged warehouse, he helped subdue Nomu and locate Ragdoll. All For One appeared, revealing he stole Ragdoll's Quirk before destroying the building. Best Jeanist pushed Yawara to safety, saving his life but causing severe injuries. After All For One's defeat, Yawara returned home with Ragdoll, supporting her alongside Mandalay and Pixie-Bob as she grieved her lost Quirk and hero career. He later reappeared in the Paranormal Liberation War Arc, seen with his team at the conflict's start and during the Meta Liberation Army's "Happy Life" social media posts. His strong bond with teammates is a noted favorite thing, and he prioritizes their safety. His name combines the kanji for "tea" (茶 cha), "tiger" (虎 tora), and "soft/pliable" (柔 yawara). His hero name, Tiger, aligns with the team's feline theme, signifying a large cat unlike his teammates' small cat references.
