Itsuka Kendo is one of the popular characters in the My Hero Academia series, which is interesting if we know more about her. Thanks to her intelligence and decision-making as a leader, she managed to win the sparring match against class 1-A. This time, Dunia Games wants to talk more about interesting facts about Itsuka Kendo. Take a look at the article below!

1. Her Name is Inspired by a Martial Art of the Same Name

Kendo is not just a name, but also a name of traditional martial art from Japan. In a Kendo match, two participants will fight using wooden swords. Each of them can earn points by hitting one of the opponent's four areas, namely the head, torso, waist, and throat.

2. Place and Date of Birth

Based on the My Hero Academia Databook, Itsuka Kendo was born on September 9 in Chiba, Japan. Ibara Shiozaki, who is her classmate, was born the day before, September 8, while another classmate, Yuyu Haya, was born the day after, September 10.

Besides Kendo, there are also several other characters born in Chiba such as senior students like Mirio Togata and Tamaki Amajiki. In addition, there are also students from class 1-A who were also born in Chiba, they are Eijiro Kirishima and Ashido Mina.

3. Popular Among Horikoshi's Staff

The author of My Hero Academia, Horikoshi, once explained that Itsuka Kendo is quite popular among his staff. Even though Kendo did not get too much attention during the story, she unexpectedly became popular.

This is because of Kendo's kind nature. In stark contrast to her classmate, Monoma the sly, Kendo is always kind. Even though she is a woman, she is also a good leader and can always be relied on.

4. Ranked Fifth on the U.A Entrance Exam

The U.A. Entrance Exam is not easy because there are many dangerous things that students have to go through. Even so, Itsuka Kendo managed to get through it so well as she was ranked fifth out of all the participating students.

Being able to be ranked fifth among many potential talented future heroes is certainly a great achievement. Kendo is in fifth place with 25 villain points and 40 save points (65 points in total). Meanwhile, Bakugo was in first place with 77 points.

5. Her Favorite Two Things

Kendo is a bit of a tomboy, although on the other hand she also looks feminine. Based on Horikoshi's explanation, her two favorite things are black coffee and motorcycles. In the anime, Kendo may never be shown enjoying black coffee or seen riding a motorbike, but if we look at her character, it makes quite a bit of sense, maybe in the future.

6. Her Blood Type

Based on the My Hero Academia Databook, Itsuka Kendo has an O blood type. Maybe this is not certain, but many believe in the theory about blood type that can influence a person's character as in Japan and South Korea.

Those with O blood type are usually associated with strong-minded, athletic, friendly people. Uniquely, all of these characteristics fit with her.

7. Inspiration for Her Quirk

Kendo's Big Fist quirk gives her the ability to lengthen and enlarge both of her arms. It doubles her strength in battle. There are two characters from Marvel who may be Horikoshi's inspiration in making this quirk.

First is Mr. Fantastic who can stretch his body, and the second is Kamala Khan who has the same power as Kendo, which is increasing the size of her hands when in battle.

8. The Big Sister for Class 1-B

If you notice, Kendo plays the "big sister" part in class 1-B. She keeps them from fighting with each other, encourages them to continue to develop, and guides them when they are confused.

Not infrequently we also see Kendo punishing Monoma for being rude to class 1-A students. Class 1-B is lucky to have someone like Kendo who continues to take care of them so that they can continue to grow and develop further.
