What Is My Hero Academia: Vigilantes?
Originally written by Hidyuki Furuhashi with illustrations from Betten Court, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is an official prequel series to My Hero Academia. It takes place five years before Izuku Midoriya and the other Class 1-A students begin their hero journeys, and instead follows a new trio of characters who go from saving their neighborhood to saving the world. Koichi Haimawari begins dressing in an All Might hoodie to become the vigilante hero “The Crawler” in his neighborhood only to be then wrapped up in a much bigger situation than he ever dreamed of.
Much like how Deku was inspired by All Might to become a hero, Koichi was also inspired by All Might to help as well. But after meeting fellow vigilante, Knuckleduster (a man who violently punches criminals), and the local idol Pop Step (a girl who also ends up wrapped in a much bigger situation), the trio become the only ones who can stand in the way of some shady dealings that eventually could lead to even bigger things happening in My Hero Academia many years later.
