Aizawa Is Izuku's Uncle - My Hero Academia Theory

Other than Izuku's mom, My Hero Academia fans don't know too much about Izuku's family. According to Tumblr user neubauje, we may have already met one of his relatives: his homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa.

Aizawa's primary quirk is Erasure, which allows him to temporarily disable other people's quirks. However, he also demonstrates some light telekinetic ability, which he uses when he does things like weaponize his scarf. Inko Midoriya, Izuku's mom, also possesses mild telekinetic abilities. 




Neubauje speculates this is because they're siblings. Specifically, Aizawa's father possessed powerful telekinetic abilities but deliberately sought out someone with a quirk-canceling ability in the hopes of combining those powers in his children.

In Inko's case, her powers were unimpressive because her mom's quirk-canceling ability actually inhibited her quirk development, but Aizawa inherits them both. The quirk-canceling is also why Izuku is born quirkless; her canceling genes prevent him from inheriting either her telekinetic abilities or the fire quirk his father supposedly had. 

Aizawa Is Shinso's Father - My Hero Academia Theory

Shota Aizawa may not seem like the fatherly type, but one fan theory posits that he has a son: Hitoshi Shinsou from Class 1-C. This theory arises largely from the fact they look a lot alike, and their quirks both involve controlling other people to some degree. What's more, they're seen walking together on a few occasions during the manga. While these moments could be school-related, they could also be examples of father-son bonding.




If this theory is true, it means Aizawa became a father at a very young age. Though he appears older due to how exhausted he always looks, Aizawa is 30 at the start of the series, while Shinso is 15. While it's not impossible that Aizawa was a teenage father, it adds a much more dramatic element to his life than there would if their age gap was larger. Perhaps Aizawa is actually his uncle, older brother, or cousin?
