Yawara Chatora

Yawara Chatora, also known as the hero Tora, is a Pro-Hero and member of the Wild, Wild Pussycats.

Appearance
Yawara is a tall, muscular man with short brown hair and a small triangle shaped beard. He has blank white eyes with black markings surrounding them. Tora wears a brown version of the Pussycat's hero costume.

Personality
Yawara is a very macho, strict and intimidating man who almost always has a fear-inducing aura surrounding him. At the same time, he maintains the same level of goofy eccentrics as his teammates.

Tora appears to take the duty of training U.A. High students very seriously. Almost everyone he encountered among the students was immediately intimidated by his presence. He's unafraid to push his students, in fact, he invites them to break their muscles so they can grow back stronger. Tora doesn't tolerate any slacking off, and is willing to physically punish students who aren't "Plus Ultra".

Tora also has a caring side. He is very adamant about protecting both the students and his teammates. He became enraged at the site of Pixie-Bob's assault at the hands of Magne.

Forest Training Camp Arc
Students from U.A. High travel to the Pussycat's reserve to train over the summer. Tora and the Wild, Wild Pussycats introduce themselves to Class 1-B on the second day of camp. While the girls introduce themselves by explaining their quirks, Tora says that he has the ability to defeat and dismantle anyone in a fight.

Tora instructs all power up and strength type students to train with him and already has Izuku Midoriya stretching repeatedly. Tora confronts Izuku and asks him to attack. Izuku tries to land a 5% Detroit Smash, but Tora is easily able to avoid and counter. Tora sends Izuku flying into a tree and notes that his muscles aren't ripping apart yet, thus not getting stronger. He continues training and encouraging Izuku, while Kota Izumi silently watches them from behind a tree.

The next day, Tora catches Izuku talking his teacher Shota Aizawa. He confronts Izuku and says he's not going beyond. That night, Tora and the others notice the mountain has been set on fire. He's caught off guard when Pixie-Bob is attacked by Magne and Spinner. Izuku tries to rush to her side, but Tora cuts him off and stands off with the villains.

Once Kenji threatens to kill Pixie-Bob, he says that he will not let him. After Shuichi interrupts them and introduces himself, Yawara angrily reprimands him for scarring Ryuko's face.

Both Yawara and Mandalay fight Kenji and Shuichi respectively. Kenji sees that Shuichi is having trouble dealing with Shino and uses her Quirk to pull Shino towards her. Suddenly, Yawara punches Kenji which frees Shino from Kenji's grasp. Yawara then punches Kenji again, but this time Kenji is able to block Yawara's attack. While getting up, Shino informs Yawara that she is unable to communicate with Ragdoll, which she considers strange since she normally answers her immediately. Yawara continues fighting Kenji and holds his own. Yawara is able to immobilize Kenji by wrapping his arms around the villain. Yawara and Shino plan to take in Kenji and Shuichi, but Kurogiri appears and rescues the two villains.

Hideout Raid Arc
Two days later, Yawara joins the Police Force and a large number of Pro Heroes in the rescue operation of Katsuki Bakugo. Yawara states that his teammate Tomoko was kidnapped by the Vanguard Action Squad and that he will rescue her; he notes that the League of Villains have a number of hideouts instead of one.

Yawara, Mt. Lady, Best Jeanist, and Gang Orca infiltrate the partially destroyed warehouse and apprehend all the Nomus while Yawara rescues Tomoko. Hakamata informs Naomasa Tsukauchi that the warehouse has been cleared.

Yawara attempts to speak to Tomoko but she is unresponsive. Suddenly, All For One appears in the shadows and apologizes to Yawara, explaining that he stole Ragdoll's Quirk. Before the Pro Heroes can act, All For One destroys the warehouse while damaging the surrounding area. Hakamata reacts quickly and manipulates his fellow Pro Heroes clothes, causing Yawara to be reeled back, allowing him to survive All For One's attack. However, Yawara is still heavily injured by the attack.

After Edgeshot and Endeavor appear, Yawara rescues the trapped civilian whom All Might is protecting in order to alleviate his burden.

After All Might defeats All For One, Yawara returns home, where he, Ryuko, and Shino comfort Tomoko.
