Inari Kodama

Danganronpa-verse:

The self-styled Modern Samurai is practically a tourist destination in Nara these days. The flashy little swordsman is often spotted escorting star-studded clientele, from politicians to businesspeople to celebrities, keeping them out of harm’s way. From time to time he does just that, and although he brings a sword to the gunfights, he always comes out on top and keeps his client safe. There are rumours that he has ties to shady characters, but Inari’s loyalties lie with whomever is paying him. His loyalty-for-hire, combat skills, and protective services are his justifications for his position as the Super High School Level Samurai.

BNHA-verse:

A trained swordfighter who works as the bodyguard for Jin and the rest of Star Cinq. He doesn’t seem like much, but he’s an accomplished fighter who’s seen his fair share of combat. He looks up to Jin as an older brother and follows him around everywhere. He applied to U.A. simply because Jin did, and didn’t intend to actually attend the school. Inari is obnoxious, off-beat, energetic, reactive, and crafty.

Quirk: Absorb. Inari negates the effects of another’s quirk as it’s being used and siphons the energy off into himself for a burst of energy that greatly enhances his physical capabilities, which he can then use against his opponent. The burst only lasts a few seconds, and he can only absorb emitter quirk effects close to him. He can absorb quirks reflexively and without limit, but using it too much can fry his nerves and leave him in pain.
