My Hero Academia spin-off Team-Up Missions manga author Yoko Akiyama posted an illustration of Eijiro Kirishima for episode 8 of My Hero Academia Season 6 right after the broadcast on Saturday. The artist drew R-Rated Hero: Midnight for the previous episode last week. The anime is airing weekly on Saturday evenings in Japan, and it is also streamed internationally.
“It’s HeroAca anime today!” the manga creator Yoko Akiyama captioned the visual post and simply mentioned the character’s name “Kirishima-kun“. Eijiro Kirishima is a student of Class 1-A at U.A. High School with a Quirk named Hardening, which makes him the Sturdy Hero: Red Riot. The newly-posted illustration shows him climbing up with a determined look, creating an aggressive aura around him, which recreates a scene from the episode.
Toshiki Masuda who played the roles of Toranosuke Miyamura in Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches and Kiyomitsu Kashu in Token Ranbu is voicing Eijiro Kirishima.
