Nezu

The mouse-headed principal of U.A., with a Quirk for superhuman intelligence.

Principal Nezu is the headmaster of U.A. High School, the prestigious academy for superheroes in training. He is a humanoid, mouse-headed animal, one of the few non-human animals in history to develop a Quirk; his Quirk, High Spec, gives him superhuman intelligence. He was experimented on by humans before he became principal, which left a sadistic side beneath his polite manner.

Lore & Background

As the principal of U.A. High School, Nezu is responsible for the overall administration and safety of the school. He hired Shota Aizawa as a teacher and, though unsure, accepted Aizawa's request for the ability to expel and re-enroll students. All Might told him the secret of One For All, and Nezu suggested that he look for a successor by taking a teaching post at U.A. In combat his true character shows: he enjoys toying with humans, as Denki Kaminari and Mina Ashido find out.
