What’s a Shonen anime without some great villains to fight? My Hero Academia is a superhero-themed action series that pits heroes such as All Might and Hawks vs supervillains like Tomura Shigaraki, Stain, All For One, and more. The League of Villains, and Overhaul’s gang, have all proven worthy adversaries.

This anime gives us a whole cast of fascinating villains, some of whom actually have tragic and sympathetic backstories, such as Twice, or an oddly compelling worldview, such as Stain. One of the recent members of the League is Himiko Toga, a girl whose quirk allows her to drink someone’s blood, then morph into their likeness. She pounced on Ochaco and Tsuyu in the forest training arc, then posed as Camie in the hero license arc and nearly knocked Izuku out of action. What else should we know about her?

10 She’s powerful despite her meager rank

Many anime series use an ABCDE scale to measure how effective something is or how powerful someone is, with Naruto being a prominent example. Shonen action series also use this system to measure someone’s combat statistics. Often, “S” is for something especially powerful or difficult to define.

Himiko Toga is a C-ranked villain, which is actually quite low. Most likely, other C-rank villains are easy to capture and subdue, but not this girl! Himiko has eluded capture more than once, and she’s an effective spy and saboteur due to that quirk. Not to mention how she’s a skilled acrobat. Isn’t about time to promote her to B or even A-rank villain status?

9 She’s a stalker villain

A stalker is no laughing matter, but villains in works of fiction can be modeled after them to make them more chilling, and comedy series sometimes make sanitized yandere-typed characters. Himiko Toga has many traits of a stalker, such as obsessing over particular people and following them anywhere and everywhere.

When we first meet her, Stain is the object of Himiko’s affection, but she soon develops the exact same feelings toward Izuku Midoriya and hunts him down during the hero license exam. She also has unhealthy attitudes about friendship and love to complete the theme.

8 She’s a villainous Ochaco

Isn’t it wonderful to have a role model you can emulate? Many real-life figures can act as your role model, from a star athlete to a charitable person or a business leader. Meanwhile, in My Hero Academia, most characters see All Might as the ultimate role model.

Having a role model means imitating them, and Izuku does this with All Might, and Ochaco does that with Izuku, too! She can’t help but follow his footsteps, and when Himiko met her, she realized the similarity at once. Ochaco was disturbed, but she couldn’t deny it.

7 Her name’s hidden kanji

A Japanese name is largely phonetic, and a name can be spelled with any kanji that combine to form those sounds. A Japanese person might even give their name, then describe which Kanji are used to write it. This is a stark contrast with strictly phonetic writing systems, such as the Roman or Cyrillic alphabets.

Himiko’s name alludes to her quirk (more on that later), but giving that away would ruin the fun! So, her name appears on-screen with the katakana writing system, to hide what Himiko’s quirk is capable of. She seems to be the only character to receive this treatment so far.

6 She has a Bane Mask

Fans of DC’s Batman comics may see something familiar in Himiko’s design. It’s her mask! For combat, Himiko puts on a contraption that covers her mouth and nose, and it also features flexible tubes and needles that can draw blood from victims.

Like many heroes, Himiko is using equipment to augment her quirk, and it’s reminiscent of how Batman’s villain Bane wears an assembly like this to administer medical drugs regularly. But instead of brute force, Himiko uses this assembly to drink blood and start transforming!

5 She looks and acts like a cat

You’ve probably seen some of anime’s famed “cat girls” in some other series before, and sometimes, they are magical girls or minor villains. In the world of My Hero Academia, we get that not only in the Wild Wild Pussycats group but also with Himiko Toga.

With yellow eyes that feature slit pupils and those sharp teeth, Himiko looks a bit like a cat herself. And like a cat, she’s a loner, often operating on her own and pursuing her own interests. Even among the villains, Himiko isn’t much of a team player.

4 She’s very curious

Here’s another way Himiko emulates felines: she has a curious mind. It’s a part of her ruthless stalker ways, to find someone of interest, learn all about them, then kill them and emulate them. She simply must dig deep into other people’s souls to feel satisfied.

After all, Himiko told Izuku “I want to know everything about you,” and was pretty annoyed when Sero and the real Ochaco stepped in and drove her off. She’s a smart one, but uses those brains for evil!

3 She’s tricky to draw

Here’s an inside perspective in the world of drawing manga: some characters prove easier (or more fun) to draw than others, and that even applies to My Hero Academia’s artist, Kohei Horikoshi. Authors often develop favorites as they draw.

Some characters, despite looking cool, are a hassle to draw, such as if they have a lot of complex details or they look similar to another character but must look slightly different. Mr. Horikoshi admitted that Himiko ranks among the tougher characters for him to draw. If you ask us, though, she turns out A-Ok every time.

2 Her full name’s meaning

We mentioned earlier that Himiko’s full name is loaded with relevant meaning. So, here it is. Her first name is broken up into three kanji, one each for Hi-mi-ko. The first means “wear, put on” (like clothes), the second means “somebody” and the last is a common suffix for feminine names.

Her last name, Toga, is made up of two kanji: “migrate” and “self.” So, when you put all that together, it’s clear the Himiko can migrate to another person’s very being and put it on like clothing!

1 Censored nudity in the anime

Many anime series end up having their more gory or sexual content censored or toned down so that it can be broadcast on public TV around the world. Series such as Bleach have a lot of gory scenes that were toned down, and very skimpy clothing might be redrawn to look more modest.

Himiko Toga got this treatment, too. In the picture, she is imitating Camie, sans clothing, and her skin tones suggest that she’s wearing a skintight suit. Himiko’s quirk allows her to imitate a target’s clothes, but her own clothes stay on, so her quirk is best effective when she activates it while nude. But it’s way too R-rated to actually show that!
