Saitama Prefecture

Home prefecture of three U.A. hero students.

Saitama Prefecture is, in My Hero Academia, the home of three students of U.A. High School's Hero Course. The character profiles of the series give each student a home prefecture, and Saitama is listed for one member of Class 1-A and two of Class 1-B.

Lore & Background

The Class 1-A student is Denki Kaminari, the flirty, laid-back boy whose Quirk, Electrification, lets him absorb and emit electricity. From Class 1-B come Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, a fiery and outspoken student who turns his skin to steel, and Setsuna Tokage, who splits her body into pieces and controls them at a distance, and who entered U.A. through recommendations.
