Horikoshi Reveals The Trickiest Characters To Draw

These Characters Are Bakugo and Deku

As an onlooker, I can’t help but marvel at the remarkable skill of mangaka Horikoshi, who is poised to bring forth one of the grandest shonen series in history – My Hero Academia. This man isn’t just a gifted storyteller; he’s also an artist extraordinaire. Yet, even with his prodigious talent, there are certain characters that prove challenging for him to depict on paper.

Back when Horikoshi shared insights about his characters, he admitted that Himiko Toga was one of the trickiest for him to illustrate, particularly because of her unique hairstyle and captivating eyes. And it’s no wonder fans agree, as her design is undeniably intricate compared to others.

If I can’t save just one little girl standing in front of me, how can I become a hero who saves everyone?

Lately, Horikoshi has disclosed that Deku and Bakugo are the hardest characters for him to depict within the latest “My Hero Academia” fanbook titled “My Hero Academia Ultra Age”. Fans might find it intriguing to learn this about these popular characters.

It’s quite intriguing indeed, since these two characters appear frequently throughout the series as they are prominent figures. Notably, Horikoshi has consistently captured their appearance and facial expressions well, and managed to find an excellent equilibrium in the process.

Horikoshi Emphasizes Bakugou Especially

Horikoshi admitted that drawing both Bakugou and Deku proved challenging for him, but he seemed to focus more on Bakugou in his work.

To put it simply, Bakugou poses the greatest challenge to him, all things considered. It’s clear that this was particularly tough for him during the Final War arc, as he crafted some breathtaking artwork depicting their intense clash against All For One.

What Else Was Revealed in the My Hero Book?

New Hero Rankings, and Much More

The recently published “My Hero Academia” Fanbook offers insights into Horikoshi’s challenges in depicting characters like Deku and Bakugo, while providing additional details to fans as well.

It would be highly recommended for fans to take a look at the “Ultra Age Edition” of the “My Hero Academia Fanbook”, as an additional attraction is that it includes a fresh one-shot story written by Horikoshi.
