Personality
During the U.A. Sports Festival, Kinoko has her eyes hidden by her front bangs and wears a sullen expression,
suggesting that she is very shy.

However, Kinoko arrives at the Joint Training Battle alongside her classmates with a big smile, contrasting with her
demeanor during the Sports Festival. When her teammate Shihai Kuroiro's plan fails, she excitedly initiates her part
of the plan using her Mushroom Quirk, suggesting that her confidence has increased greatly, or at least that she is
more comfortable around mushrooms.[1]

She enjoys using her Quirk which stems from her gleeful liking for mushrooms. She remembers the scientific name
of all the mushrooms she can spawn and happily adds endearing honorifics to them. She also likes to make
mushroom puns during a battle.

However, she possesses a kind side as seen when she apologized to Fumikage Tokoyami for using too much of her
Quirk on him and telling him to take necessary medicine to better himself.[2]

Abilities
Overall Abilities: While not being the combat-type, Kinoko possesses incredible proficiency over her Quirk abilities.
She is able to produce spores that can generate hordes of mushrooms in various, unexpected areas to surprise and
overwhelm her opponents, as well as provide a smokescreen to simultaneously obscure her opponents' line of view
and conceal the presence of both herself and her allies, especially Shihai Kuroiro, who excels in espionage. Kinoko
has access to at least 2 spray bottles that she uses to increase an area's humidity levels, allowing her spores to
scatter more easily. She is able to completely cover a terrain with mushrooms in a few minutes through this method,
however, in order to prevent her teammates from being affected, they must be sterilized with an antifungal spray
first.

During the second round of the Joint Training Battle, Neito Monoma stated that even though Kinoko has very low
combat abilities, she is an opponent worth fearing. Even though she was subdued by Fumikage Tokoyami, he
overall failed to render Kinoko unconscious, giving the restrained fungus-producing heroine the opportunity to
implement mushrooms in the latter's throat and lungs, effectively incapacitating the Jet-Black Hero through
asphyxiation.

Quirk
Mushroom (キノコ Kinoko ? ):[3] Kinoko's Quirk allows her to spread various
types of fungus spores from her body. The spores will quickly grow into full-
grown mushrooms once they make contact with a solid surface. The
mushrooms can grow from various surfaces, including Kinoko's
surroundings, her own body, and even her opponent's body. They only last
for 2-3 hours.[4] The spores spread better in a humid environment.

Trivia
Kinoko's surname contains the kanji for "small" (小 ko ? ) and "forest" (森 mori ? ), while her given name contains
the kanji for "hope" (希 ki ? ), a possessive particle similar to "my," or the addition of an apostrophe "s" on the
end of a name (乃 no ? ) and "child" (子 ko ? ).
Her given name is homophonous with the Japanese word for "mushroom" (キノコ kinoko ? ), which is also
the name and spelling of her Quirk.

Kinoko's hero name, "Shemage", sounds similar to shimeji, a type of mushroom that is often used for cooking.
"Shemage" also means "female mage", alluding to how her costume makes her look like a witch.
Originally, her hero name was supposed to be "Gnocchi Nyokonyoko," but that was changed due to
being too hard to pronounce.[5]
According to Kinoko's Volume 21 profile:
Her favorite foods are mushroom cuisine and edible mushrooms.
She dreams of becoming an Idol Hero.
