Tomura Shigaraki, initially known as Tenko Shimura, is a pivotal figure in the 'My Hero Academia' universe. Born with a tragic past tied to the legacy of the hero Nana Shimura, Shigaraki's childhood was marred by abuse, leading to his eventual transformation into the formidable villain he is today. His quirk, decay, manifested as a reaction to his traumatic home life, allowing him to disintegrate anything he touched. After adopting the name Tomura Shigaraki, he became the leader of the League of Villains, seeking to create a world devoid of heroes. Over time, he has garnered significant strength and influence, particularly under the mentorship of All For One, who sought to mold him into the ultimate successor. As the series progresses, Shigaraki's relationships with other characters, alongside his struggles with inner demons, shape his path as both a ruthless antagonist and a deeply complicated entity. Representing the darker aspects of hero society, he challenges conventional morality and notions of heroism, making him one of the most complex figures in contemporary anime lore.
