Cosplays are one of the best ways for fans to unleash their inner weeb selves... sorry, "passionate Japanese culture aficionado selves" is what we meant to say. While all forms of creativity are appreciated, there is no denying that some cosplayers are just on a different level completely. In fact, cosplaying has been a professional money-churning industry for a while, and a lot of cosplayers are so skilled that they've actually turned their hobby into a career.This is why cosplayers who do cosplay simply for the love of the art form deserve a lot more love and recognition from fans! So, here are 10 fantastic My Hero Academia cosplays for fans to enjoy.
10 Mina Ashido
This bright and cheerful girl can always be seen with a sweet smile on her face. She has a lot of friends precisely because of her affable nature, and there’s no denying she has a top-notch sense of fashion as well! Here, we see cosplayer Special Kaind looking like an almost carbon copy of the anime character.
9 Bakugo
No other character from the series has accrued as much love and hate, as Bakugo. People often question as to how he has so many people who love him, despite his physically violent nature, but that’s completely beside the point right now. This is because one simply cannot get their eyes off the near-perfect cosplay of this character that cosplayer Leon Chiro has managed to create. He has everything Bakugo has, including that gorgeous six-pack-abs.
8 Ochako Uraraka
Uraraka is a character that’s unanimously loved by the anime’s fanbase, and that’s because she doesn’t have a hateful bone in her body. LMCosplays does a fabulous job of capturing Uraraka in her candid best, and props to her for not going overboard with the cosplay.
7 Mt. Lady
Mt. Lady’s real name is Yu Takeyama, and she also happens to be a Pro Hero. Her quirk is to grow to a gigantic size, which gives her a sizeable advantage in any battle against her enemies.
However, the biggest drawback of her quick is that she can only grow large to a specific height: 2062 cm. She’s unable to control the size of her body while it’s increasing in size. Here, one can see cosplayer Tiffany, all decked up in Mt. Lady gear and totally killing that look!
6 Himiko Toga
One of the more prominent female antagonists of My Hero Academia, Toga is someone not to be messed with. Part of the Vanguard Action Squad, she is featured prominently in the Shie Hassaikai Arc and the Provisional Hero License Exam Arc. Here, we see cosplayer Dun Sparcey doing complete justice to this baddie.
5 Tsuyu Asui
Tsuyu, more popularly known as Tsu-chan among friends and fans, is one of the many classmates in Deku’s class. Her laid-back but blunt attitude has made her one of the more popular people in her school, and she’s one of the few who’s able to remain calm even during stressful situations.
Kudos to TheGemCosplay for staying true to her character design!
4 Eraser Head
His real name is Shota Aizawa, and he’s a homeroom teacher along with being a Pro Hero. He’s strict, cold, impatient, and has high expectations from his students. He’s actually one of the few adult characters from the series who’s been massively popular among his fans, especially because of his dry personality. Props to Knotbadcrochet for leaving no detail spared when it came to his cosplay!
3 Shoto Todoroki
The only thing better than a Todoroki cosplay is a genderbent Todoroki cosplay! Todoroki’s popularity among the MHA fanbase is phenomenal—so much so that people often wonder if it isn’t either Deku or Bakugo—but Todoroki who’s the actual protagonist of the series.
Initially aloof because of his childhood abuse, Todoroki slowly opens up to his classmates, who he soon realizes want only the best for him. And he soon ends up being everyone’s favourite—including the fans.
2 Camie Utsushimi
This second-year student, who is also called Maboromicamie, has her ultimate goal to become a Pro Hero. Even though she’s been targeted by the League of Villains, she didn’t let that get to her and she’s continued being the regular teenager student that she’s always been. She’s often thought of as a fool by detractors, but her friends and teachers believe she’s just a naive girl.
1 Izuku Midoriya
Often simply referred to by his nickname Deku, Midoriya is the protagonist of the anime series. He’s special because he is born without a quirk, and, despite being viewed as a weakling, he always tries his best to make up for his lack of a quirk, by his sheer determination.
Kudos to Cosplayer Mahiru for not only getting up in Deku’s clothes, but going out of her way to edit her pictures in order to make them look as anime-ish as possible. Those special effects look ah-mazing!
