My Hero Academia has no shortage when it comes to villains. From Shigaraki to Toga and All For One, our pros have tons to deal with, but more baddies are always in the shadows. Soon, the anime will introduce another villain when its next OVA drops, and fans just got their first look at Mr. Smiley thanks to a special promo.
The update comes courtesy of My Hero Academia‘s page on Twitter as you can see below. It was there fans were told Hironori Kondo will voice the special’s villain, and Mr. Smiley looks upsetting to say the least.

As you can tell, the baddie does have a big smile, and his teeth are crisp enough to satisfy any dentist. However, no doctor would approve of the way Mr. Smiley uses his pearly whites for evil. Looking at this colorful character design, My Hero Academia fans can tell the OVA villain must love a vibrant wardrobe, and it seems his whole schtick is about painting.
After all, the character is wearing a cowboy hat with two paintbrushes sticking from the top. The hat’s brims seem to resemble an artist’s palette as well, and when you look at Mr. Smiley closely, even his hair resembles a paintbrush thanks to his green tips.

Clearly, Mr. Smiley is going to be an interesting villain for Deku to face, but he won’t fight the baddie alone. My Hero Academia will follow Izuku as he works with Shoto and Katsuki to track their target while interning with Endeavor. And between the three, well – Deku has the best shot of leveling with Mr. Smiley and his eccentricities.
