Melissa (voiced in Japanese by Mirai Shida and in English by Erica Mendez) is one of the main characters in the first movie in the My Hero Academia franchise, Two Heroes.

She is the daughter of Professor David Shield and is also an inventor herself, offering her assistance and inventions to Izuku and the others throughout the course of the movie. She is seen again later in the manga.

Melissa has tealy-blue eyes that she wears frameless glasses over, and wavy golden yellow hair. Her main outfit consists of a white button-up shirt with an orangey-yellow gingham collar bow and matching trim on the sleeves, a dark pink fitted vest, an off-white pair of capri jeans, long dark pink gingham socks, and brown slouch boots. She also wears a thin brown strap watch.

Hitoshi (voiced in Japanese by Wataru Hatano and in English by Jarrod Greene) is one of the secondary characters in the anime/manga My Hero Academia.

He is a student at UA with the others, and is currently waiting to transfer from general studies into the main hero course, as he’s developed his brainwashing quirk much further, determined to use it only for good.

Hitoshi has purple spiked back hair, and similarly colored eyes. He wears the UA sports uniform (the design changes between long and short sleeved, but it was tricky to find a decent long-sleeved one), a mask piece to help regulate his quirk, a scarf similar to Eraserhead’s, and solid soled green and white boots.

Dabi (voiced by Hiro Shimono and Jason Liebrecht) is a member of the League of Villains in the anime and manga series My Hero Academia.  Dabi’s Quirk allows him to wield blue flames.  His intense dislike for Pro Heroes and tendency toward destruction make him a powerful foe.  There are plenty of Dabi costume sets available for purchase if you’re looking for an easy way to recreate his look.  Depending on which point in the story you prefer, you may need to add either a white or black wig and boots.  You can also DIY his costume with a black frock coat, scoop neck t-shirt, black pants, and a silver belt.  For the burnt remnants of his skin, use purple body paint to cover large portions of your face, neck, and arms.  Then use a black body crayon to create the illusion of folds and wrinkles.  Lastly, use a small brush and metallic silver body paint to add the staples.

Momo Yaoyorozu is a character in the hit anime, My Hero Academia. She got into Class 1-A at U.A. High School through official recommendations. Her enthusiastic dedication to becoming a Pro-Hero makes her a natural leader. Although she acts kind and polite, Momo can be brutally honest, but only to help her classmates improve. Her Quirk is Creation, which gives her the ability to create any object from her fat cells by knowing its molecular structure.

Minoru Mineta is a character in the hit anime, My Hero Academia. He attends UA High School as a student of Class 1-A in training to become a Pro-Hero. While timid, Minoru is known as the class creep, often ogling the girls. He freaks out in moments of stress and fear, though he is also surprisingly intelligent. This DIY costume lends itself to some craftiness. For the bottoms, stick the dots around the waistband of the shorts, and then hot glue a piece of ribbon underneath. You may find you’ll need hot glue for the dots as well. Use hot glue to affix three balls down the top of the balaclava, and use the rest as props.

All-Might is a main character in the hit anime, My Hero Academia. His real name is Toshinori Yagi. After sustaining permanent damage from One For All, his declining health reduced him to a very skinny man. The effects of his wounds make it difficult to sustain his muscular, empowered form for long durations of time. Due to the devastating impact on his heroic abilities, All-Might passes the Quirk to Deku. However, he must keep the secret that this is All-Might’s true form. Use the black eyeshadow to give your eyes a sunken appearance, and size up on the clothes to make this outfit extra baggy.

All-Might is a main character in the hit anime, My Hero Academia. He is a famous Pro-Hero, even better known as the  Number 1 hero, who saves people with a smile. For that reason, Deku looks up to All-Might as a role model, and he wants to save people as well. His desire to do right as a hero convinces All-Might to pass along his One for All Quirk to him. He is also a teacher at U.A High School, where he must maintain his muscular form to conceal his secret. His design is meant to resemble American comic book heroes, so use the black face paint to draw the lines on his face.
