Description
Mirio Togata, known by his hero name Lemillion, is a student in Class 3-B at U.A. High School and one of the institution's most elite students, forming part of the trio called The Big Three alongside Tamaki Amajiki and Nejire Hado. He is a tall young man with a muscular build, blonde hair, and distinctive beady blue eyes drawn in a simple style. His hero costume is made from his own hair fibers so that it stays attached when he phases through solid matter, and it prominently features the number 1000000 on the chest. He wears a helmet and a cape, which he views not as a decorative item but as a tool to protect and comfort those in need.
Mirio's backstory begins when he was a young child: he fell into a river and was rescued by a Pro Hero, an event that inspired him to become a hero himself. However, his father, who possessed the same Quirk, had given up on becoming a hero because it was too difficult to control. Undeterred, Mirio dedicated himself to years of intense training to master his Quirk, refusing to let his natural limitation break his dream. He entered U.A. High School and eventually caught the attention of All Might's former sidekick, Sir Nighteye, who personally mentored him and helped him refine his abilities to an elite level. Sir Nighteye believed Mirio had the potential to become the next symbol of peace, and Mirio was initially considered a top candidate to inherit One For All before Izuku Midoriya was chosen.
Personality-wise, Mirio is overwhelmingly optimistic, cheerful, and energetic. He often tells jokes that no one finds funny and maintains a constant smile, even in dire situations. This lighthearted exterior, however, conceals a deeply dedicated and hardworking individual. He is pragmatic, possessing an excellent understanding of hero protocols and the ability to control his emotions to see the bigger picture. His bravery is exceptional: he can face dangerous villains like Kai Chisaki (Overhaul) with a calm and cheerful demeanor, and he is willing to make immense personal sacrifices for the sake of others. Mirio's motivations are straightforward: he wants to save as many people as possible. He chose the hero name Lemillion because he acknowledges that he cannot save everyone, but he aspires to save at least one million people over his career. He believes that a world without smiles and humor has no bright future, and he carries that motto into his hero work.
Mirio plays a pivotal role in the Shie Hassaikai arc. Initially, he and Izuku encounter Eri, a young girl covered in bandages, but Mirio advises against intervening immediately because he recognizes that a rash action would allow Overhaul to escape. Later, when they learn the truth about Eri's suffering, Mirio is devastated and vows to save her. During the raid on the Shie Hassaikai, he fights alone against Overhaul and several of his subordinates, demonstrating incredible combat skill and creativity with his Quirk. In a critical moment, he throws himself in front of a Quirk-destroying bullet aimed at Eri, sacrificing his own Quirk to protect her. Even after losing his power, he continues to fight for five more minutes, protecting Eri until reinforcements arrive. This act cements his status as a selfless hero. Shortly after, his mentor Sir Nighteye dies from injuries sustained during the battle, but not before using his Quirk to see Mirio's future and reassuring him that he will become a great hero.
Following the loss of his Quirk, Mirio remains steadfast and refuses an offer from Izuku to inherit One For All, stating that he is content being Quirkless. His personality does not waver, and he continues to support his friends. Later, Eri's Rewind Quirk restores Mirio's Permeation, allowing him to rejoin the fight in the Paranormal Liberation War. He returns to action with his characteristic determination and skill.
Mirio's notable abilities stem from his Quirk, Permeation, which grants him the power to become intangible and phase through any physical matter. When intangible, he is immune to physical attacks but cannot attack others. He must also be careful not to phase through the ground and fall into the earth. Through relentless training, Mirio has gained extraordinary control, enabling him to selectively phase parts of his body while keeping others solid, allowing him to perform surprising offensive maneuvers. He can activate and deactivate his intangibility in split-second intervals, making him extremely difficult to hit and giving him an unpredictable fighting style. His super moves include Phantom Menace, a technique where he phases into the ground to attack from below. He also has impressive physical strength, agility, and tactical acumen, making him a formidable combatant even without his Quirk.
Key relationships include his close bond with Tamaki Amajiki, who he supports and draws inspiration from, and his friendly rapport with Nejire Hado. He serves as a mentor figure to Izuku Midoriya, pushing him to grow and offering encouragement. His relationship with Eri is protective and brotherly; he is the first person to give her genuine hope and faith, and he risks everything to free her from Overhaul. After her rescue, he is deeply moved when she smiles for the first time. Mirio also holds deep respect and gratitude for Sir Nighteye, whose death he mourns but chooses to honor by continuing to smile.
Throughout the series, Mirio Togata's development is marked by his journey from a child with an almost unusable Quirk to the most powerful student at U.A., then to a hero who sacrifices everything for a single child, and finally to a restored hero who continues to fight for the greater good. His unwavering optimism, grounded pragmatism, and absolute commitment to saving others define him as one of the most inspiring and heroic characters in the story.
