Here is a look at all the beautiful female Ecchi Cosplay characters from the number hit anime Boku No Hero Academia.

It’s time to celebrate the awesome ladies of My Hero Academia. As is the case for most shonen anime, this series’s male cast is far larger than its female one. Nevertheless, plenty of powerful, fascinating women and girls who are worth paying attention to exist on the show.

Who are the best female characters in My Hero Academia? That depends on your personal preferences. If you like astoundingly creepy villains, Himiko Toga might be right up your alley. But if you prefer good-hearted, slightly nervous, and adorable heroes-in-training, you’ll probably love Ochaco Uraraka. And if you want more adult female characters, your favorite might be the 18+ hero, Midnight. 

Regardless of individual taste, all of these female characters are amazing and so are these beautiful cosplayers that have taken the opportunity to showcase their creativity with each individual producing the hottest My Hero Academia Ecchi Cosplayers that you have ever seen. 

Momo Yaoyorozu

Momo Yaoyorozu is a member of Class 1-A. She can use her fat cells to create any inanimate object as long as she understands its chemical composition – and she’s intelligent and knowledgeable enough to make just about anything.

Tsuyu Asui

Tsuyu Asui is one of the more pragmatic and down-to-earth members of Class 1-A, but she also knows how to have a good time. Her Quirk allows her to do anything a frog can do, from eating flies to regurgitating her digestive system and launching it at people as an offensive weapon.

Kyoka Jiro

Kyoka Jiro is awesome because of her punk rock sensibilities and style, and because of her Quirk, which allows her not only to hear sounds from far away, but also to use sound waves offensively. Besides her hero duties, Jiro plays the bass. No one seems to like to cosplay as Jiro so here is the only good Jiro cosplay on the internet.

Hero-in-training Mina Ashido has a spunky, cheerful personality. Her Quirk, Acid, allows her to secrete the aforementioned liquid. As she gains mastery over her Quirk, she’s able to control both the amount of acid, and its pH levels.

WHAT’S MY HERO ACADEMIA ABOUT?

In a world where most people have superpowers, middle school student Izuku Midoriya is part of 20 percent of the population born without them. But his dream is to become a superhero and to attend the premier Japanese school for aspiring superheroes, UA High. After a fateful run-in with All Might, the world’s greatest hero, he learns that his idol is dying and wants to pass on his mantle. His chosen successor, of course, is Midoriya.

This eventually leads to Midoriya inheriting All Might’s powers and attending UA High, where All Might is training the next generation of heroes. But when a group of villains show up looking for revenge, Midoriya and the other students feel compelled to grow faster into heroes or become a burden.

SO WHAT SORTS OF SUPERPOWERS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

In MHA they call superpowers “quirks.” The closest analog might be mutant abilities in the Marvel Comics, including both flashy powers and mutations like having wings, or lizard-like skin. Midoriya’s rival / friend Bakugo can create explosions in his hands, while his other classmate Tsuyu has a quirk that gives her frog-like abilities — sticking to walls and hopping long distances — and some of the physical characteristics of a frog, like a long tongue.

Quirks also all have specific names — Bakugo’s is called “Explosion” — likely because the government tracks them. So naming them seems like a good way to track and categorize them, especially if multiple people have similar quirks.

WAIT… THE GOVERNMENT TRACKS THEIR SUPERPOWERS?! DIDN’T THAT SORT OF THING LEAD TO TERRIBLE PROBLEMS AND A “CIVIL WAR” IN BOTH THE MARVEL COMICS AND MOVIES?

Yes on both accounts. Although MHA looks like present-day Japan, it’s actually set in the near future, at a time when people with quirks are accepted by society. It’s been six or seven generations since the first quirks started appearing, and while there were initial societal issues when quirks became more widespread, they’re only given a passing mention.

And again, people with quirks aren’t a persecuted minority like mutants are in the X-Men comics, but rather the majority — and they’re running things. So tracking powers and making laws about their use is more about basic law and order than systematically oppressing a group of people. It enables an accreditation system through schools where students can learn to use their quirks and earn a hero license.

THIS SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF WORLD BUILDING…

Which is why MHA doesn’t really get into it very deeply, and mentions most of this offhand. All you need to know is you need a hero license to be a hero, and you need to go to school to get the license.

THEN WHAT IS THE FOCUS OF THE SHOW?

While there is a larger struggle of heroes versus villains (people who use their quirks to break the law) in the world, the series is more focused on the personal struggles of the characters. A common aspect of all the series that run in the comic anthology magazine Weekly Shonen Jump (other famous examples being Naruto, One Piece, and Dragon Ball,) is that they all hit on three themes: friendship, struggle, and victory. Although each interprets that differently, it generally means characters struggle to achieve something, but eventually overcome those obstacles with the help of their friends.

Midoriya’s struggle is to become a hero and All Might’s successor. All Might struggles to be a good teacher, and to accept that soon he’ll no longer be able to be a hero. Some of the other students struggle with their pride, self doubt, living up to familial expectations, and even parental abuse. They might have superpowers, but they are still just kids in high school and their struggles reflect that, in addition to the larger struggle between heroes and villains.

WHY DOES ALL MIGHT LOOK SO DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER CHARACTERS?

Rather than being modeled after more traditional Japanese heroes, All Might’s design is more reminiscent of American superhero comics from the 1970s and ‘80s with strong angular features and lots of black shadows. Later in the series, the anti-hero character named Stain shows up, who looks like a combination of ‘90s Image Comics characters (e.g. Spawn and The Maxx) with clothing by way of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

These design choices are intentional, but they aren’t incongruous with the rest of the show’s aesthetic. Depending on how a person’s superpower manifests, it can sometimes cause drastic changes in appearance, which offers a lot of visual variety.

DO I NEED TO READ A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT COMIC SERIES TO GET THE WHOLE STORY?

No, but there is a spin-off comic called My Hero Academia: Vigilantes. If you catch up in the main series, and are interested in more of the world building and goings on outside a high schooler’s perspective then I’d recommend it, but it’s completely ancillary. It’s also available for free to read online in English.

OKAY, SO WHERE CAN I WATCH OR READ MY HERO ACADEMIA?

You can purchase the comic digitally or physically in pretty much any digital or physical bookstore. The entire anime series is available for streaming subtitled on Crunchyroll, with English dub on Funimation, and both on Hulu.
