The students of Class 1-A are adored by countless My Hero Academia fans, but the teachers aiding them in their development also deserve recognition for their arduous work. Raising the next generation of heroes while keeping them safe from villains is no easy feat, especially with the vast array of personalities and superpowers in their midst.
Shota Aizawa (Eraserhead), Hizashi Yamada (Present Mic), Ken Ishiyama (Cementoss), Nemuri Kayama (Midnight), Toshinori Yagi (All Might), and Ectoplasm are the pros responsible for the growth of these young heroes. Naturally, they come equipped with incredible Quirks and some cosplay-worthy outfits to boot.
10 Double Present Mic (With An Ectoplasm Photobomb)
The only thing louder than one Present Mic is multiple Present Mics. @Hanari502 and @SquirrelMan238 doubled up on the Voice Quirk and, based on the Instagram caption above, presumably provided a deafening "OH YEAH!" at 2018's Katsucon.
While the Present Mic duo looks great from head to toe, they were hilariously photobombed by another Class 1-A teacher. @Mizushitsuji happened to pop by just in time to secure a spot in the middle of the photo as Ectoplasm.
9 Eraserhead and Present Mic
Present Mic is one of the best Class 1-A teachers to cosplay and the caption above provides a perfect explanation for it. "Present Mic makes consistently terrible faces. It gives me a chance to have some fun and be outrageous." When it comes to cosplay, it doesn't get much better than that.
@INeedSugar31 embodies Mic's eccentric personality and @RemyDominoCosplay makes an excellent companion in the form of a gender-bent Eraserhead.
8 All Might
@HoroVonKaida's favorite MHA hero is All Might and who can blame her? The Symbol of Peace is essentially anime's response to Superman (or Captain America, for Marvel fans). He's the ultimate teacher, especially if your name happens to be Izuku Midoriya.
The Greek cosplayer's costume is simple but effective and the wig suits the stunning gender-bent rendition of the character. The make-up is the icing on the cake that projects a fitting comic book/anime aesthetic.
7 All Might
@GealCosplay has an affinity for My Hero Academia cosplay and the evidence is all over his Instagram feed. The German engineer makes his costumes from scratch and All Might is his favorite hero.
Costume aside, one of the most impressive aspects of this All Might rendition is the makeup. It's so noteworthy that Geal often receives questions regarding his process and he's considering making a how-to video. One could only imagine the work that goes into those eyebrows.
6 Midnight
Brazilian cosplayer @Shermie_Cos makes quite a dazzling Midnight, who is ironically considered an 18+ hero yet teaches underage students at U.A. High School. As the most flirtatious and sadistic teacher, staying in character as Midnight might require more commitment than usual.
Shermie's outfit is accurate without being utterly inappropriate. She even included key details like the small flogger-style whip and the handcuffs around the wrists. Midnight's Quirk involves putting people to sleep with an aroma that spreads from her exposed skin, but hero costume regulations prevent her from wearing revealing clothing.
5 Eraserhead and Present Mic
Two teachers are better than one, so @SweetBoiCosplay and @MothBlobs brought Eraserhead and Present Mic (respectively) to life for a joint photo shoot. This isn't Alex's first run as Aizawa, but he opted for more facial hair this time and is content with the results.
Mic continues to be a cosplay favorite and Ash admits that she has the most fun at cons where she's dressed as the English teacher. Cosplaying such a goofy character is "liberating", according to the caption above. Only one question remains: Which Present Mic cosplayer is the loudest?
4 Eraserhead With Students
@NikkisCosplayPhoto is a phenomenal photographer, but this shot she captured featuring @Ashuri_Senpapi's Aizawa among nine students is a standout. Projecting Eraserhead's serious persona is a must, but his token sleeping bag makes this photo even more unique.
Despite his high expectations and stern personality, Aizawa has grown attached to the students of Class 1-A. As a result, he's become a fan favorite and one of the best teachers to cosplay.
3 Cementoss
One of the more interesting facts regarding Cementoss is that this humanoid mound of cement is a Modern Literature teacher. Ken Ishiyama's Quirk allows him to manipulate cement and his corresponding appearance makes him rather difficult to cosplay. However, some fans are drawn to the challenge of crafting such a complicated outfit.
@987_Kuma was up for the task and this Cementoss is about as excellent as it gets. One would imagine that visibility is frustratingly limited with this cosplay and the headpiece is presumably as heavy as it appears. This cosplay certainly requires a certain level of dedication and patience.
2 Ectoplasm
Ectoplasm's clothing is far from complex; he wears a trench coat with massive collars, after all. The real chore stems from making his helmet, which @LeLegacyCrafting mentions in the post above. He refers to it as a "new experience and challenge" but the end product was well worth it.
Ectoplasm's Quirk allows him to clone himself, so @KohCoz brilliantly edited Jimmy's cosplay and added two "copies" of the U.A. teacher. Koh is also responsible for the creation of the trench coat in the photo.
1 All Might
@LeonChiro is a professional cosplayer who feels a particularly strong bond with the Symbol of Peace. He notes that while he may cosplay many characters with all his heart, no one compares to All Might. He's even planning on remaking a new and improved rendition of the character.
That said, Leon's current All Might cosplay is top-tier and exudes the intensity of the famous hero. Whether he's in pristine condition like the photo on the left or in a damaged state like the picture on the right, this is one cosplay we'll never get enough of.
