MHA Character Generator
Choose a number from 1 to 10 and get that many random My Hero Academia characters from a list of 138 students, pros and villains.More People & Character Generators
The MHA Character Generator picks 1 to 10 characters at random from a list of 138 named characters in My Hero Academia: the whole of Class 1-A and 1-B, the Big Three, the U.A. faculty, the top-ranked pro heroes, the League of Villains, the Shie Hassaikai, the Meta Liberation Army, and the family members and film characters who matter to the plot. Set a number, press Generate, and each character appears on its own card. It is built for fans who need a character chosen for them: for drawing challenges, "who would win" debates, cosplay decisions, fanfic prompts and quiz rounds.
What you can set and what you get
The only control is the count, from 1 to 10, with 3 as the default. Each press shuffles the full list and takes the first N, so a single batch never repeats a character; press again and the whole list is back in play. Every result is a card with the character's name. Individual character artwork is not included in this version, so each card carries the tool's own image rather than a portrait of the character. There are no filters for hero, villain or class, so if you want a villain only, generate ten and pick from the ones that come up. For a different franchise with the same setup, the Danganronpa Character Generator and Dragon Ball Character Generator work the same way.
Who is in the list
- Class 1-A (20). Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki, Ochaco Uraraka, Tenya Iida, Tsuyu Asui, Eijiro Kirishima, Denki Kaminari, Kyoka Jiro, Momo Yaoyorozu, Fumikage Tokoyami, Mina Ashido, Hanta Sero, Mezo Shoji, Minoru Mineta, Koji Koda, Rikido Sato, Toru Hagakure, Yuga Aoyama and Mashirao Ojiro.

- Other U.A. students and staff. Hitoshi Shinso, Mei Hatsume, the Big Three (Mirio, Tamaki, Nejire), Eri, and the teachers: All Might, Shota Aizawa, Present Mic, Midnight, Cementoss, Ectoplasm, Snipe, Thirteen, Power Loader, Vlad King, Hound Dog, Recovery Girl and Nezu.
- Pro heroes. Endeavor, Hawks, Best Jeanist, Edgeshot, Mirko, Gran Torino, Sir Nighteye, Fat Gum, Ryukyu, Mt. Lady, Kamui Woods, the Wild, Wild Pussycats, Star and Stripe, Lady Nagant and a dozen more, plus rival-school students Inasa Yoarashi, Camie Utsushimi, Seiji Shishikura and Yo Shindo.
- Villains. Tomura Shigaraki, All For One, Dabi, Himiko Toga, Twice, Mr. Compress, Spinner, Kurogiri, Muscular, Moonfish, Magne, Stain, Overhaul and the Hassaikai, Gentle Criminal and La Brava, Re-Destro and the MLA lieutenants, Gigantomachia, Nomu, Hood and Dr. Garaki, and the movie villains Wolfram, Nine and Flect Turn.
- Family and backstory. Inko Midoriya, the Bakugo parents, the Todoroki household including Toya, Kota Izumi, Melissa and David Shield, Nana Shimura, Yoichi Shigaraki and the Shimura family from the Shigaraki flashbacks.
Some characters appear under both a name and an alias in the series; the list uses one entry per person and mostly the name fans use (Dabi rather than Toya for the villain, but Toya Todoroki is listed separately for the family arc).
Ways people use it
- Drawing and redraw challenges. Generate one character and draw them in a costume, style or era you have never tried. Generate two and draw them swapping quirks.
- Versus debates. Two cards, one question: who wins, and under what conditions. Endeavor against Gentle Criminal is quick; Mirko against Muscular is not.
- Fanfic and roleplay prompts. Draw three characters and write a scene in which they are stuck in the same place.
- OC building. The tool does not invent original characters, but a random canon draw is a useful anchor: give your OC a mentor, rival or classmate chosen by the generator and build the backstory around that relationship.
- Quiz rounds. Generate ten and have players name each character's quirk, hero name or agency. Class 1-B entries separate the casual viewers from the readers.
Quirks, classes and the cast at a glance
My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academia in Japan) ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2014 to 2024 and has roughly 430 chapters, a seven-season anime and four films. The named cast runs to several hundred, so 138 is a curated list rather than everyone with a line of dialogue. The rule for inclusion was simple: characters that a reader of the main series or a viewer of the films would recognize by name. If you are missing someone who should be here, the other character pickers on the site may cover them, and you can browse all people & character generators for the full set, including the Random Video Game Character Generator and the Random DC Character Generator.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this an MHA OC generator?
No. It draws from 138 canon characters, not invented ones. Many people use a random canon character as the starting point for an OC (as a mentor, rival or relative), but the tool itself does not generate quirks, names or backstories.
- How many characters can I generate at once?
From 1 to 10 per press. A single batch never contains the same character twice; a new press reshuffles the whole list.
- Can I filter to only heroes or only villains?
Not in this version. There is one list and one number input. Generate a larger batch and ignore the ones you do not need.
- Does it include Class 1-B and the pro heroes, or just the main cast?
All of Class 1-A and 1-B, the Big Three, the U.A. teachers, around thirty pro heroes, the major villain groups, film-only characters and the key family members are included.
- Does it show character pictures?
Not yet. Each card shows the character's name with the tool's own image in place of a portrait. Character artwork may be added later.
