The man who is Deku’s dad is Hisashi Midoriya while Inko Midoriya is his mom. When reading or watching My Hero Academia, you will be shown Deku’s mom but not the dad and this has made fans to become curious; wanting to know what happened to his father.
There have been a few speculations about Deku’s father, for instance, some say that Deku’s dad may be All for One, the nemesis that the boy has spent his whole life fighting. Could this be true? Well, your guess is as good as mine.
The Mainstay of My Hero Academia is Deku
My Hero Academia tells us the story of this young boy, Izuku or Deku, who is in a society where people have special quirks. Deku does not have one but down the line he gets to inherit one of the best quirks of all. From being an unknown quantity, Izuku goes on to become a hero for people. He has to train and work hard though.
As the story in My Hero Academia slowly rolls out, you will hear about Deku’s mother Inko Midoriya. There are her interactions with her son and others as well as her living her normal life. When you now turn your attention to look for Deku’s dad, you will not find him. All we have is the name Hisashi Midoriya but asides from that, there is not really much going on. It is said that Hisahi left his family when Deku was just four. No one’s seen him since and some say he may be dead. However majority holds the belief that he is alive, despite his absence.
It has been said that Hisashi is working in another country and that he will show up one day. Who suggested this? Well, it is Horikoshi the person that created My Hero Academia. He gave hints about this when he attended the San Diego Comic-Con Festival in 2018.
Who is Izuku Midoriya’s Father?
Hisashi is the name is the name of Deku’s father, who hasn’t been around for a long time. Claims have been made that Deku just looks like his dad, Hisashi Midoriya. The structure of their face is the same and the color of their hair, teal, is also the same. Hisashi and Inko got united in the institution of marriage. They later had a son named Deku and were raising him together.
Hisashi was available for the first four years of this task but after then, nothing much has been seen or heard about him. This will make many conclude that he is completely absent from his boy’s life but some say that instead of it being a situation of complete absence, he may be dropping in to visit occasionally.
Deku’s dad Hisashi Midoriya is said to be able to breath out fire. This is his quirk and it was Inko that dropped this nugget when she and Deku went to the quirk doctor. Of course, she didn’t really say the full extent that her husband’s power can reach but having such ability is always handy if you are to fight battles on behalf of others. The nature of Hisashi’s quirk has led to people coming up with different stories about what use it could be in the story either in the short run or long run.
Where is Deku’s Dad?
No one can really say where Deku’s dad, Hisashi Midoriya, is. The only information we were given was in the first episode of the anime when Inko took Izuku to see Dr. Tsubasa at the age of four. She said that her husband was working in the United States. She called Hisashi her husband then and continues to do so even now showing that they may still be a couple across long distance.
At no time has the storyline in My Hero Academia told us why Hisashi was transferred to America. This is a gap and it has led to many ardent fans coming up with all sorts of explanations for what is going on.
Remember that Izuku did not have any quirk when born which is abnormal in the area he grew up in? Well, some say that the fact that Deku had no quirks may have caused issues at home, making his father leave.
Moving away from that one, we have those who believe that Deku’s father Hisashi may be working as a spy for the Hero Public Safety Commission (HPSC). They think he is looking into serious criminal cases. However, one spoke in the wheel of this claim is that HPSC is known for being corrupt. So, why would the father of the hero be with them.
There are also those that believe that just maybe Deku’s father is All for One, his major enemy and the villain of My Hero Academia. For five years, the bad All for One battled All Might. In season 3, they nearly fought to the death but both survived. All for One now had to start wearing a head gear to cover his injuries. Given all these dangers and battles; if All for One were to have a family, he would surely be away from them for a long time. This is why some say Deku’s father is All for One but no confirmation yet. It would surely be a plot twist that leaves people’s mouths hanging open.
We have never met Deku’s father and My Hero Academia is now in its last Act so time is running out. But don’t panic. There is hope. Kohei Horikoshi, the person writing My Hero Academia promised that Deku’s father will be shown in future. It was in 2018 edition of San Diego Comic Con that he said this. So, all hope is not lost yet. When Deku finally meets his dad, it will be a moment of heavy emotion. Will those emotions be that of love and joy or negative? Time will tell us the answer.
Is Deku’s Dad a Villain?
Due to the fact that we still don’t really know much about Deku’s dad, it is possible that he may turn out to be one of the villains in My Hero Academia. You have to remember that he even has a quirk that can cause harm which is the ability to breath out fire. If this theory turns out to be true, it would really be something that would capture the attention of fans because Deku is the all-around good guy who is fighting evil at all cost. Going up against his dad would surely be something else with the emotional angle thrown in.
Also, you have some people say that Deku’s father could actually be All for One (this is the major villain in My Hero Academia). You have a situation where the man has been away from home for all these years. It could be that he was out there trying to steal people’s quirks and use them. If All for One were actually Hisashi Midoriya, it means that Deku has met his dad without even knowing it. The eventual revelation would be mind-blowing.
All the talks and discussions about Deku’s father are not ending any time soon. It is even possible that the author of the manga may even use some of the stuff coming out of the wild imaginations of fans to now write the most-attention captivating story about Hisashi.
