In the vibrant universe of "My Hero Academia: Vigilantes," we meet the character Koichi Haimawari, voiced by Shuichiro Umeda. Koichi is a quintessential college student, often described as dull and unremarkable. Despite his uninspiring exterior, he harbors a passionate dream of becoming a hero. Unfortunately, the daunting reality of a society where 80% of the population possesses extraordinary abilities known as Quirks weighs heavily on him. Many aspire to be heroes, but only a select few earn the title, leaving Koichi feeling lost and despaired over his unfulfilled ambitions.

Everything takes an unexpected turn when Koichi and his friend Kazuho Haneyama, known as Pop☆Step and voiced by Ikumi Hasegawa, cross paths with a mysterious yet formidable vigilante named Knuckleduster. Their chance encounter ignites a spark in Koichi, reigniting his ambition as Knuckleduster extends an invitation for them to join the underworld of vigilante work.

As Koichi and Pop☆Step delve deeper into their roles as vigilantes, they undertake thrilling missions, confront formidable villains, and navigate the complexities of a society where heroism exists alongside lawlessness. The dynamic duo gradually becomes more than just students; they evolve into symbols of hope in a city marred by crime and despair. With the help of Knuckleduster and their developing powers, Koichi and Pop☆Step must learn the true meaning of heroism, loyalty, and the fight for justice, all while discovering who they truly are in this exciting adventure.
