Learn More About The Deku from My Hero Academia Drawing

"A smiling... dependable... cool hero... That's what I wanna be! That's why I'm giving it everything! For everyone!"
- Deku, My Hero Academia

Deku, the superhero alias of Izuku Midoriya, is the main protagonist of the anime and manga My Hero Academia.

Deku lives in a world where 80 percent of people manifest superpowers, called "Quirks," by age four.

He idolizes the Pro Hero All Might but has no Quirk of his own - that is, until he inherits All Might's power, "One for All."

This Quirk is unique in that it is passed on from one individual to another. Deku is the ninth holder of One for All.

Scroll down for a downloadable PDF of this tutorial.

One for All allows Deku to "harness a stockpile of powerful energy." He can run fast and punch hard.
