Some reading this may scratch their heads and ask why such a discussion matters, why is the sexuality of a character of great importance? For anime fans of the LGBTQ community, it matters a great deal. Still, according to My Hero Academia's manga author, Kohei Horikoshi, Tiger was a female assigned at birth who transitioned into a man in adulthood. This character in the series might not have been told in explicit detail that he is a trans man. The answer is a resounding no, and queer fans have to look no further than the character of Tiger, who was, in truth, the first confirmed LGBTQ character in My Hero Academia. Tiger, whose real name is Yawara Chotaro, is a trans man who is part of the hero team of the Wild Wild Pussycats.
