'I have to get stronger quickly', you say. It's true. Time is not on your side—nor on your enemies'. And they won't wait for you to get stronger.Sorahiko Torino to Izuku Midoriya in "Struggling"
Sorahiko Torino (
Ever since the Hideout Raid Arc, despite being retired he continues assisting the Police Force in investigating the League of Villains.
Appearance
Gran Torino is an extremely short, elderly man that has short, spiky hair and a beard.
His hero costume consists of a full-body monochrome[3] suit along with a yellow cape, a belt with the letter "G" on it, very thick yellow gloves and boots, and a dark domino mask which resembles two diamonds.[4]
In contrast with his now-extremely short and rather shriveled appearance, he was quite tall and handsome in his younger days, having at least rivaled All Might's hero form in height. Gran Torino kept a similar appearance over his life down to his short grey hair; currently, he also wears a smaller version of the costume he wore in his younger years.

Personality
Initially, Gran Torino appeared to be a senile old man who constantly forgot and asked Izuku Midoriya's name, often calling him "Toshinori".[5] Even though he was the one who sent Izuku the internship offer, he would often fail to recall Izuku's name for more than a moment. In reality, this proves to be nothing more than a façade for messing with his newfound protégé.
Gran Torino is actually a very intelligent man with an incredibly broad perception. He proved to be a far more capable teacher to Izuku in a mere week than All Might did in almost a year. He was able to read Izuku's progress and personality, just by watching him at the U.A. Sports Festival and indirectly taught him the first step to mastering One For All with a simple parallel between Izuku and his favorite dessert (taiyaki).[6] His sharp mind is also evidenced when he was able to accurately predict All For One's strategy based solely on the media covering the aftermath of Hero Killer: Stain.[7]
As a mentor, Gran Torino appears to be very hard on his students. Every time All Might speaks about or to Gran Torino, he starts freaking out and shakes profusely because of his memories of their brutal training.[8][7] Gran Torino also never hesitates to yell, berate, or hit Izuku for his mistakes.[9][10][11] He also extends this to Toshinori who he reprimands for not visiting him on occasion and tells him to keep his focus when he fights his enemy All for One for the last time. Nevertheless, he does not hesitate to praise his students when they deserve it such as when he complimented Izuku for his gradual skill with his power and when he complimented All Might's victory over All For One.

- Enhanced Strength: Gran Torino possesses great physical strength, as he was able to knock out capable villains with quick blows. In his prime, he struck All Might so hard that the future symbol of peace vomited. This memory haunted the world's strongest hero for the rest of his life.

He was also able to fracture the pavement when he attacked a low-tier Nomu in Hosu.

In just under two days, Gran Torino taught Izuku what All Might had been trying to teach him for almost a year.

So that by the time you're past your prime... this kid... his name... will be hailed as the symbol of peace..."[13]
