Fumikage Tokoyami, a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, trains to become a Pro Hero with a striking avian appearance: a crow-like head adorned with black feathers, a sharp yellowish beak, and narrow crimson eyes. His hero costume features a sweeping black cloak concealing dark attire and a utility belt. Rigorous mentorship under Hawks enhances his physique into a more muscular build, while the Paranormal Liberation War leaves a scar on his left foot.
His Quirk, Dark Shadow, commands a sentient shadow entity that functions as both weapon and companion. Its power fluctuates with light—unleashing ferocity in darkness yet waning under brightness. The entity shapeshifts, attacks with claws, and propels mobility, though excessive distance from Tokoyami drains its energy. Emotional turmoil amplifies its strength but risks失控, exemplified when it raged uncontrollably after Moonfish wounded Mezo Shoji during the Forest Training Camp.
Stoic and introspective, Tokoyami embraces a brooding aesthetic, often expressing himself through archaic, poetic language that masks a noble dedication to teamwork. He conceals personal quirks like candlelit décor in his dorm, revealing subtle insecurities. Though respectful of authority, he defies rules he considers trivial, such as ignoring Tenya Ida’s order to vacate a desk.
Strategically adept, he ranks fifth in the Quirk Apprehension Test and third in the U.A. Sports Festival, excelling in events like the Cavalry Battle by shielding Izuku Midoriya’s team and seizing a pivotal headband from Shoto Todoroki. Training under Hawks hones his Quirk’s mobility and range, nearly rivaling the Pro Hero’s speed. He devises techniques like Black Abyss—armor forged from Dark Shadow to counter close-combat vulnerabilities—and Black Fallen Angel, using shadow wings for flight.
In the Paranormal Liberation War, his Ultimate Move Ragnarök overwhelms Re-Destro’s destructive might. During the Final War, he harnesses storm-darkness to unleash Total Release, a colossal Dark Shadow that fractures All For One’s helmet and nearly defeats him. He later rescues Hawks from Dabi’s flames, underscoring his loyalty.
Post-graduation, Tokoyami ascends to No. 17 Pro Hero, sporting grayer feathers and wrist adornments. Though near-flawless in Quirk mastery, light exposure and emotional surges remain weaknesses. His legacy epitomizes the equilibrium between harnessing inner darkness and upholding disciplined heroism.
