Personality[]

Compared to his hotheaded wife and son, Masaru is more of a calm person who is less prone to violence. He had shown himself unsettled by their bickering while Katsuki’s teachers were present in their home.

However, he clearly loves his family very much and gets along well with his wife, as he, too, does not approve of his son's arrogant attitude.

History[]

At some point, he met Mitsuki at a job, and she aggressively hit on him, which led to a relationship that progressed to them getting married. Sometime later, Masaru became the father of their son, Katsuki.

Synopsis[]

Hideout Raid Arc[]

Masaru tries to calm his arguing family down when Toshinori Yagi and Shota Aizawa arrive. After calming down, Mitsuki notes that Katsuki's rashness, along with his gifted abilities, has resulted in him being pampered and getting shallow praise for what he has, which has resulted in his arrogant nature. However, Mitsuki is happy that Shota sees her son for who he is instead of his gifted abilities. She once again agrees to leave Katsuki in U.A. High School's care since her son returned home unharmed thanks to the Pro Heroes and asks Shota to make her son into a fine hero.[1]

U.A. Traitor Arc[]

Class 1-A say goodbye to UA evacuees

Katsuki saying goodbye to his parents.

In the aftermath of the Paranormal Liberation War, the Bakugo's are among the civilians escorted to U.A. to reside for safety. After about a month, the Heroes begin their plan to take on the Villains, leading the students of Class 1-A to give their thanks to everyone, with them already heading back out. The students say their goodbyes to everyone, with Katsuki saying goodbye to his family members, though Mitsuki was very persistent over his cocky attitude, much to his annoyance.[2]

Final War Arc[]

As the fighting in the Final War commenced, Masaru and his wife continued to stay at the evacuation shelter. Mitsuki notices that the cumulonimbus storm has started growing over Japan and continues to expand, combined with the tropical typhoon that is beginning to pick up massive wind speeds. She comments how much Katsuki does not like the rain, wondering what he will do next, unaware of their son's near demise at the hands of Tomura Shigaraki.[3] Luckily, Katsuki survived and proceeded to battle All For One, with the fight being broadcast all over the world. Mitsuki points out the battle on the screen, and Masaru is too afraid to see, turning away, but Mitsuki tells him they have to watch the fight for their son's sake, because their kid must be out there grinning like he always does.[4] They watch in awe as Katsuki manages to hold his own against the Villain, standing up to the might of his ultimate attack with his own Explosions, and successfully defeating him.[5]

Abilities[]

Quirk[]

Acid Sweat ( (さん) () (かん) Sanka Kan?): Masaru's Quirk allows him to secrete acidic sweat with combustive properties from the palms of his hands. Unlike his son, however, he cannot forcibly secrete it, and it comes out like normal sweat. If he rubs his hands together, then he can create explosions.[6]
