Ochako is Izuku's best friend. Her Quirk, Zero Gravity, enables her to make any object she touches with her fingertips float, though excessive use causes her nausea. Besides Katsuki, she also calls Izuku "Deku," but unlike him, she uses the nickname affectionately, noting that "Deku" conveys a sense of never giving up. She eventually switches to calling him Deku-kun, a change that leads him to accept the name. Coming from a family of construction workers, her household is poor due to the lack of a strong market for their trade. Consequently, Ochako aspires to become a hero for financial reasons, aiming to provide her parents with an easy life. Ochako first meets Izuku before the Yuuei entrance exam when she prevents him from falling after he trips over his own foot. This incident causes Izuku to develop a significant crush on her, as he had "talked" to a girl, resulting in him blushing and stammering whenever he is with her. Izuku later returns the favor by saving her during the entrance exam, and Yuuga subsequently deduces that Ochako reciprocates Izuku's feelings, despite her attempts to deny it.
