All aspiring Pro-Heroes inMy Hero Academiadream of making their mark in the world, and aside from doing so through Villain takedowns, establishing their own hero agency is another path to doing so as well. As the anime’s story follows Midoriya Izuku andClass 1-A’s journey to becoming the best Heroes, they inevitably visit hero agencies to gain practical work experience.
There are hero agencies up and down Japan that reflect the Heroes that found them. From high-ranking Heroes such as Endeavour to Pro-Hero teams like the Wild, Wild Pussycats, here are the best hero agencies in the show.
10Fourth Kind Agency
Introduced during theHero Agency Internships Arc, the Fourth Kind Agency is the Hero Office of Pro-Hero Fourth Kind. Although it is unknown what ranking Fourth Kind had on the Hero Billboard Chart, it’s shown that Fourth Kind is extremely disciplined, with high standards for his staff.
He doesn’t mince words with his interns, Kirishima and Tetsutetsu, and it can be assumed that there’s high approval for the agency’s client service ratings since Fourth Kind prioritised treating their clients well and appearing dignified before them. Fourth Kind’s agency was one of many involved during the face-off against the Paranormal Liberation Front, though it’s unknown if it remained operational during the Final War.
9Ryukyu Agency
The hero agency owned by the high-ranking Dragoon Hero: Ryukyu, the Ryukyu Agency is noticeable from the massive billboard plastered with Ryukyu promoting her fashion line on the face of the building. We do get a glimpse of the interior of Ryukyu’s agency, which is covered in blood-red wallpaper and murals of Chinese dragons.
As one of the Top 10 Heroes in Japan, the Ryukyu Agency has a good reputation, attracting stellar interns in Froppy, Uravity, andNejire Hado. The agency was also involved in a major, high-stakes investigation and eventual raid into the criminal organisation, the Shie Hassaikai, contributing massively to taking it down for good.
8Pussycats Agency
This utterly adorable, cat-themed, and totally on-brand agency is home to thePro-Heroteam Wild, Wild Pussycats. We were given a brief look inside the hero agency, where everything from the chairs and walls to even the potted plants is cat-themed.
Although the agency seems quite small and cosy, the Wild, Wild Pussycats actually own vast training grounds that they used to host UA’s Hero Course students for their summer training camp, giving them access to their hot springs and dorms. However, they were attacked by the League of Villains, and one of their members, Ragdoll, was kidnapped and lost her Quirk to All For One.
7Fat Gum Agency
Owned by the friendly and jovial Pro-Hero Fat Gum, and in his case, we actually know that it’s located in Esuha City. Due to his personality and record, Fat Gum is quite popular in his local area and was the former No. 58 Pro-Hero, eventually shooting up to be the No. 11 Pro-Hero eight years after the Final War.
Fat Gum was able to take in some of the most promising Hero Course students into his agency for Work Studies, taking the timid but talented Amajiki Tamaki and the manly Kirishima under his guidance. He and his Work Studies students were heavily involved with the Shie Hassaikai Raid and were active during the Final War. And since he eventually became the No. 11 Pro-Hero, it could be inferred that his agency only went from strength to strength.
6Team Idaten
Once owned and run by Tensei Iida (known by his hero name Ingenium), Team Idaten is a well-known hero agency with a stellar reputation for teamwork and coordination in Villain takedowns. Since Tenya mentioned that he came from a hero family, it might be that previous Pro-Hero members of the Iida family ran Team Idaten.
Witha large team of sidekicksunder his belt, the Team Idaten agency was involved in the events of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, with sidekicks like Enigma and Onemu Shinya standing out. Tensei was eventually taken out of action after being left permanently disabled by the Hero Killer Stain, but his younger brother Tenya chose to take on the mantle as the new Ingenium.
5Nighteye Agency
The Nighteye Agency is run by the Pro-Hero Nighteye, who was once the sidekick and right-hand man to All Might. Despite leaving due to a disagreement with his former boss and friend, Nighteye remains a huge fan of All Might and decorates his agency with All Might merchandise.
Perhaps from the prestige he gained as All Might’s sidekick and his subsequent Pro-Hero career, Nighteye not only had the efficient Centipeder and Bubble Girl as sidekicks but also hadOne For Alluser Midoriya Izuku and Lemillion as interns. Although Nighteye succeeded in bringing down the Shie Hassaikai, he died from his injuries, and his agency was thereafter passed on to Centipeder.
4Genius Office
The Genius Office belongs to the current No. 5 Pro-Hero Best Jeanist and reflects his penchant for style and elegance. Best Jeanist’s agency was first shown during Bakugo’s internship, where Jeanist had his sidekicks wear tight-fitting jeans and sport fashionable haircuts.
In addition to his ranking, Jeanist is a popular and well-liked hero who attempted to soften Bakugo’s image and personality. He was severely injured by All For One during the Kamino Ward incident, and his agency was left in limbo after he was seemingly killed by Hawks. However, Jeanist returned to action and participated in the final battle against All For One, and still being a top-ranking hero duringThe Epilogue, signifies his agency as one of the best.
3Hawks Agency
Young, handsome, and vibrant, the Pro-Hero Hawks broke records when he was barely out of being a teenager, being the youngest Hero to reach top rankings and establish his own agency at 18.
Although we never get a full look inside the agency or Hawks' sidekicks, Hawks invited Tokoyami Fumikage into the agency as an intern after watching his impressive performance at the UA Sports Festival. By the time we got to the Final War, Hawks had his Fierce Wings Quirk stolen by All For One and retired from hero work to become the President of the HSPC. It’s unknown if he passed his agency on to someone else or closed it entirely.
2Endeavor Agency
Although a controversial figure in the show, Endeavor is the long-time Number Two Hero and, as such, has a hero agency to reflect his status. The Endeavor Agency dominates the skyline with a single tower, with a high-tech gym and extensive office space inside and has a formidable reputation for reducing crimes.
Endeavor is shown to hire a veritable army of sidekicks, with Burnin' and Kido being notable members of the agency. Midoriya, Bakugo, and Endeavor’s son Shouto served as trainees at the agency during the Work Studies programme. The Endeavour agency was later extremely active during the Final War, and after Endeavor retired due to his injuries, it isn’t known what happened to his agency thereafter.
1Might Tower
Owned by the Symbol of Peace, All Might, Might Tower is a grand, luxurious, and high-tech skyscraper that was All Might’s base of operations. Might Tower was never animated in the anime, but it was featured in the Vigilantes manga (and could be animated soon).
The agency had a special, gigantic door called the Might Gate, which was only accessible to All Might and was a safe haven for the former Number One Hero to get some downtime. Although we never see if All Might had an army of sidekicks like Endeavor did, his well-deserved rank, experience, and sheer power mark Might Tower as the best hero agency there was.
