Different cultures around the world have used the relative positions of stars in the night sky in order to determine personality traits. An individual's zodiac sign coincides with one of 12 constellations, depending on when they're born. Based on this system, the stars can supposedly reveal a lot about someone's strengths, weaknesses, and overall character.
Anime series like My Hero Academia have a wide range of characters, each with unique personalities. As such, the fandom is spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing the most relatable hero. Mangaka Kohei Horikoshi has already assigned specific birthdays for several of his characters, but those dates may not necessarily correspond to their most appropriate zodiac sign.
Updated on November 29th, 2022 by Ajay Aravind: My Hero Academia's 6th season is out, but the anime remains woefully behind. The manga has already reached Chapter 374, whereas the TV storyline is currently somewhere around Chapter 285. That said, fans are more than happy to wait however long it takes for the anime adaptation. Although there are a few significant individuals yet to be introduced in My Hero Academia, the most popular characters are the same as ever.
12 Bakugo Is Intense, Impulsive, & Explosively Short-Tempered
Aries
Aries individuals are intense, impulsive, and explosively passionate. They stick to their convictions and rarely take no for an answer. There is no better match for this fiery sign than Bakugo Katsuki, especially after his actions in My Hero Academia's Season 6.
Despite his aggression and short temper, this Class 1-A student is determined to become the best hero in the world. When Bakugo is kidnapped by the League of Villains, Shigaraki and his minions mistakenly assume that they can convince Bakugo to join them. On the contrary, he blatantly refuses, displaying his unbreakable willpower and sense of gallantry in the process.
11 Deku's Perseverance Gives Him Complete Control Over One For All
Taurus
With their patience, determination, and caring personalities, Tauruses are incredible friends and even better protagonists. Deku has many classical Taurus qualities, from relying on logic during combat to jotting his observations in a hero journal. Further, his inherent trustworthiness makes Deku the ideal choice to carry One For All.
Despite his natural logic, however, Deku can be incredibly bullheaded, another feature of the Taurus sign. Deku never backs down from a fight, even if it means breaking every bone in his body. His perseverance eventually grants him complete control over his new Quirk. Deku will inevitably face Tomura Shigaraki in Season 6's culminating episodes.
10 Kaminari's Love & Loyalty Always Shine Through In His Interactions
Gemini
Symbolized by twins, the Gemini is widely considered to be two-faced. However, this sign also includes creative souls who live life in the name of excitement and friendship. Gemini individuals are both fun-loving and funny, and their quirky attitudes sync perfectly with the Denki Kaminari.
This Electrification Quirk user is more focused on socializing than on scholastic learning, explaining his terrible grades. While his playfulness and desire to appear cool distances him from his classmates, his love and loyalty always shine through in his interactions. Kaminari showcases his magnificent abilities during the Paranormal Liberation War arc.
9 Amajiki Consistently Demonstrates His Emotional Intelligence & Supportive Nature
Cancer
Cancers are by far the most emotional sign. They make decisions with their hearts before their heads. Tamaki Amajiki of Class 3-A is a character who isn't afraid to expose his sentimental side, marking him as a typical Cancer. This personality trait is often displayed in the form of social anxiety, even during the most innocent situations.
When Cancerians refuse to express their feelings, their emotions get bottled up and cause far more internal stress than necessary. However, Amajiki's dedication to Nejire and Mirio demonstrates his innately supportive nature.
8 All Might Works Extremely Hard To Earn His Moment In The Sun
Leo
Leos are some of the bravest people under the stars, and their senses of honor and justice make them stronger than others. No sign is more suited to be a hero than Leo, and there is no hero greater than All Might. Leos enjoy basking in the spotlight, but they work hard to deserve their moment in the sun.
All Might is optimistic and always smiling in the face of adversity, which is one of his defining attributes. The whole world looks up to him as a reliable leader, the symbol of peace who keeps the forces of darkness at bay. That said, All Might is just as willing to sacrifice his powers for the sake of posterity.
7 Uraraka Is Smart, Level-Headed, & Knows Exactly How To Fulfill Her Goals
Virgo
Virgos are some of the most level-headed people out there. As one of the smartest signs of the zodiac, they always take the right action to achieve their ambitions. Ochaco Uraraka is an authentic Virgo — she chooses to attend U.A., not just to become a hero but also because she wants to financially support her parents.
She wisely chooses to intern with Gunhead, hoping to strengthen her physical combat abilities. At the same time, Virgos can be very tough on themselves. They generally try to disguise their truest feelings, as seen after Bakugo defeats Uraraka during the U.A. Sports Festival.
6 Mina Doesn't Let Her Popularity Undermine Her Compassionate Attitude
Libra
Libras are pleasant, spirited, and adventurous. They might come off as superficial, but they're amazing listeners and care deeply about what others have to say. Mina Ashido is a strong example of a Libra because of her bubbly personality and enduring affection for her friends.
Beauty is only skin deep, but Mina's positivity and enthusiasm go all the way to the bone. Although she hangs out with the other "cool kids" in Class 1-A, she doesn't let her popularity undermine her compassion. More importantly, Mina knows exactly how to help the other girls navigate their romantic troubles.
5 Tokoyami Is Deeply Fascinated With Everything Dark & Mysterious
Scorpio
Scorpios are intriguing individuals, particularly because of their fascination for all things dark and mysterious. They're intensely ambitious and don't let anything block their paths toward greatness. Tokoyami's entire aesthetic carries the energy of a Scorpio. He's serious, focused, and reserved, and often talks in an archaic style just for extra dramatic flair.
His Quirk, Dark Shadow, appears to have some macabre power that Tokoyami trains to have control over. Even though he seldom steals the limelight, Tokoyami is one of the strongest students in his class. In Season 6, he manages to save his mentor, Hawks, from Dabi, albeit at great risk to his own life.
4 Mirio Encourages People To Do Their Best, Even After He Loses His Quirk
Sagittarius
The Sagittarius is well-known for having characteristics related to bravery, honesty, and kindness. Moreover, someone born under this sign tends to be lively and wild. Despite being a member of the U.A. Big Three, Mirio's robust autonomy and radical empathy set him apart from his comrades.
Mirio's constant concern for Eri's safety may not be a typical Sagittarius quality, but his zany persona and admittedly bizarre sense of humor most certainly belong to this sign. Having recently lost his Permeation Quirk, Mirio will not be participating in the events of Season 6.
3 Tenya Is Cool, Nerdy, & Formal To The Point Of Orthodoxy
Capricorn
Capricorns are cool, nerdy, and sometimes rigidly formal people. The anime trope most commonly associated with this star sign would be a glasses-wearing character, like My Hero Academia's Tenya Ida, Class 1-A's official representative.
Capricorns are also legendary for their stubbornness. Tenya renounces every ounce of common sense when he decides to go hunting for Stain. Although his orthodox personality is somewhat strict and solemn, Tenya's comical reliance on rules and regulations makes his character arc significantly more lighthearted.
2 Tsuyu Knows How To Distinguish Between Reality & Fantasy
Aquarius
Given their propensity for daydreaming, Aquarians are notoriously fickle people. At the same time, those born under this sign are methodical and systematic in their approach to life as well as friendship. There is no doubt that Class 1-A's Tsuyu Asui is an Aquarius. This doesn't mean that she's permanently detached from reality, only that she knows how to distinguish between truth and fantasy.
On one hand, Tsuyu can be painfully blunt when expressing herself; on the other, she shies away from attention and actually blushes when people compliment her. She's also adorably eccentric — Tsuyu is famous for punctuating her sentences with "ribbit" sounds, a reference to her Frog Quirk.
1 Neijire's Unbridled Optimism Is Clear To Anyone Watching The Show
Pisces
Pisces are empathetic, selfless, and often a lot wiser than their peers. Class 3-A's Neijire Hado is a great example of a free-spirited character, one who always speaks her mind no matter the consequences. The Pisces sign is blessed with a rare gift: the ability to influence another person's temperament and behavior.
Nejire's unbridled optimism is crystal clear to anyone watching the show. In fact, her cheery nature rubs off on the otherwise pessimistic Tamaki Amajiki, considerably improving his mood. Nejire is yet to showcase her prodigious talents in My Hero Academia Season 6.
