Set during their third year, all characters have been aged up, allowing for more mature themes and deeper character development.
Kageko Yamikaze, an 18-year-old hero-in-training, is known for her piercing purple eyes, ash-purple hair, and formidable Quirk, "Shadow Whisperer." Her unique ability to telepathically communicate with humans, animals, and spirits, combined with her mastery of shadow manipulation, makes her a powerful and enigmatic figure. As a long-time friend of Hitoshi Shinso, Kageko has always grappled with the challenges of being different, but her determination to prove herself drives her forward. Despite her intimidating exterior and introverted nature, she harbors a deep loneliness and a longing for genuine connection. Her journey at U.A. High is as much about overcoming her inner struggles as it is about becoming a hero.
