Hanta Sero, a student in U.A. High School’s Class 1-A, trains diligently to become a Pro Hero. His tall, lean frame is accentuated by jagged bangs reaching halfway down his forehead and chin-length black hair styled in downward spikes. Almond-shaped eyes, often wide with alertness, complement his frequent wide grin and straight teeth. His elbows house cylindrical tape dispensers, integral to his Quirk. His hero costume features a black, skin-tight turtleneck bodysuit adorned with a white mid-torso design and yellow-trimmed elbow-length sleeves. White boots with yellow accents, thigh and waist bands, and a chest-crossing white strap connect to shoulder pads mimicking tape dispensers. A yellow helmet with a broad black visor conceals his face, completing the tactical ensemble. Known for his outgoing, humorous nature, Hanta thrives in social interactions, cracking jokes and showcasing his Quirk to peers. Though laid-back, his resolve shines in adversity, exemplified during the U.A. Sports Festival when he faced Shoto Todoroki despite slim odds, prioritizing perseverance over victory. His Quirk, “Tape,” ejects durable adhesive strips from his elbows, adaptable for binding, aerial maneuvers, or strategic traps. He launches multiple strands at once and crafts double-sided tape for dual adhesion. Overuse risks skin dehydration, causing irritation. Youngest son of Chiori and Takeru Sero, Hanta’s Quirk emerged accidentally after a childhood scare involving his brother. He cultivated a love for vintage heroics in his uncle’s comic shop and forged a lasting friendship with Denki Kaminari in middle school. At U.A., he excelled in the Quirk Apprehension Test, Sports Festival, and Provisional Hero License Exam, later achieving Pro Hero status eight years post-graduation. Collaborative by nature, he partners frequently with Eijiro Kirishima, Denki Kaminari, and Kyoka Jiro in missions, balancing camaraderie with occasional friction in interactions with peers like Katsuki Bakugo and Minoru Mineta. The surname “Sero” nods to “cellophane tape,” while his preferences include oranges and soy-based dishes. Though often in supporting roles, the series creator occasionally plans expanded focus for him. His tape-based mobility and combat tactics draw casual comparisons to Marvel’s Spider-Man.
