My Hero Academia: Who & Where is Deku's Father?

 Deku's father remains one of My Hero Academia's biggest mysteries.



Inko Midoriya is Izuku's adorable mother, who cares deeply for her son. On more than one occasion, fans have seen Inko cry for her son's safety, stand up for him, and make him the first version of his super suit. Inko couldn't be more proud of her son, but she does carry such guilt since he wasn't born with a quirk. Both Inko and Izuku's father have quirks, Inko can levitate small objects towards her, and his father can breathe fire, but where is Izuku's dad?


The manga has provided little information on Izuku's father. Fans know that his name is Hisashi Midoriya and that his quirk is fire breathing. It's assumed that Hishashi's fire-breathing quirk isn't as eye-catching as Dabi's flames since Inko brushed it off at Izuku's doctor's appointment as a child. Currently, Hisashi's work has taken him abroad, leaving Inko and Izuku alone. This is everything that's been revealed about Izuku's father, but what's interesting about all of this is that everything that is revealed about Hisashi was either from Inko or the creator Kohei Horikoshi.


From a story standpoint, not including Hisashi in Izuku's life meant that All Might could fill that father role, but why keep him as a character at all? Horikoshi could have made Inko a single mother or a widow. There would have been no need to include Hisashi unless he had a purpose. It can be assumed that Izuku doesn't know much about his father since he's never revealed any of the information about him, and what little he doesn't know wouldn't be enough for an identification. Kohei Horikoshi might have bigger plans for Hisashi Midoriya's character; maybe fans have already discovered this plan.


Then again, all of this could be wrong, and Shouto Todoroki might have been right. Izuku is All Might's secret love child, and Inko just isn't saying anything about it. This explains why Izuku can make All Might's vinegar stung face so well. It would certainly make those who want All Might and Inko to date happy. In the end, fans have to wait for the next chapter, or volumes, to discover who Izuku's father is and what he's been doing. He has years of parenting to catch up on, sort of like Darth Vader and his kids.

Wait, isn't Kohei Horikoshi a massive fan of Star Wars?
