Tsubasa ( (つばさ) Tsubasa?) was a childhood friend of Katsuki Bakugo who helped him bully Izuku Midoriya for not having a Quirk.[1] He is also the grandson of Dr. Tsubasa, the doctor who diagnosed a young Izuku as Quirkless.[2]

Appearance[]

In the flashback, Tsubasa is a plump child with a rounded face and brown hair that is almost completely shaved. Due to his Quirk, two red and draconic wings emerged from his back.

As a child, he wore a tank top, green shorts, and sandals.

Personality[]

Not much is known about his personality, but it is known that he was a bully because as a child, he, alongside Katsuki Bakugo, often beat up and belittled Izuku Midoriya for being Quirkless.

History[]

During their childhood, Tsubasa was a friend of Katsuki. He along with Izuku and two other boys admired Katsuki for his innate sense of talent, as he was the sort of person who was good at everything he tried his hand at.

Once Katsuki developed his Quirk, Tsubasa would often join him in bullying other children, including Izuku, who was diagnosed as Quirkless.[1]

Tsubasa accompanied Katsuki when he chose to explore an off-limits area in a forest with his friends, including Izuku, who was hesitant about the idea. Katsuki ended up falling into a stream below them and Izuku went down to offer him help, an act that ended up insulting Katsuki and would strain their relationship for years to come.[3]

As the boys grew up, they parted ways. Katsuki and Izuku lost contact with Tsubasa during middle school.[4]

Abilities[]

Quirk[]

Unnamed Wing Quirk: Tsubasa's Quirk allows him to grow a pair of red, dragon-like wings from his back that allow him to fly.
