Other Couples That Horikoshi Confirmed

Shindo And Nakagame Are Dating, Along With Kinoko and Shihai

During the final chapters of My Hero Academia’s main manga, Izuku Midoriya and Ochaco Uraraka’s romance was officially acknowledged, but it wasn’t the only romantic development. After the conclusion of the series, creator Horikoshi unveiled two more canon couples that fans might not be as attached to yet. One of these pairs is Shindo and Nakagame. In the Ultra Age Art book, Horikoshi hinted that these two eventually form a relationship due to their strong chemistry together.

What, I had no idea that they were dating! — Mina Ashido

In the My Hero Academia one-shot, Horikoshi confirmed that Kinoko and Shihai are in an official relationship, which was kept so discreet that even Mina Ashido, who worked alongside them, didn’t suspect anything.

A hint suggested by Horikoshi is that Mount Lady and Kamui Woods may be in a relationship. In the main storyline, it was implied that they might be dating, but neither has openly confirmed or denied this. However, given their interactions, it seems likely that there could be truth to these rumors.
