Life sucks, then you die. That was the lesson Echiiro learned growing up– one taught through a poor draw in life. Echiiro father’s dreamt of being famous but, unfortunately, did not hold any talent or quirk that would lead to such fame. Therefore, Echiiro's father planned to marry someone with a powerful or potential quirk to create strong kids. He placed his sights on a member of the Panya family, one who, in his eyes, led to kids with powerful quirks.

Admittedly, Echiiro’s father was a bit too heavy-handed when it came to discipline—that was especially true when it came to Echiiro. Growing up, Echiiro was an emotional kid, and well, unfortunately, his father didn’t like that about him. In his father’s opinion, men weren’t supposed to be emotional- after all, emotion was a weakness. Echiiro’s household was often the host of many arguments between his mother and father about how he should be raised, arguments that increasingly got physical. From these arguments and fights, Echiiro learned two or three things about his life. One that he was a failure, two that life sucked, and three it was pointless.

He only really found comfort in comics, mangas, and his grandparents.

Echiiro’s father raised him to become a hero. As soon as he could walk, Echiiro father started to train him. Regarding his training, Echiiro’s father was remorseless and cruel in his tactics, with his training being more like a boot camp for adults rather than kids. He barely had any time to be a kid, and for that reason, did not really have a good relationship with his siblings. Occasionally, his father would get busy, and his grandfather would take care of him– the time he spent with his grandfather was actually one of the few moments he got to be a kid.

Echiiro was a troublemaker in school. There were multiple times he got in trouble for bullying other students, especially students with quirks he “deemed useless.” And when he wasn’t being a bully, Echiiro got into fights with other students whose quirks he’d deemed “impressive.” One teacher even remarked that “Echiiro is a kid with a chip on his shoulder, one whose mindset revolves ‘might make right’- it’s almost like he has something to prove.” Despite his notorious reputation for being a bully, Echiiro did not get into physical fights with students who had “lesser quirks,” merely mocking, taunting, or verbally bullying them.

In one such occasion, Echiiro mocked a student who wanted to become a hero stating “Ha, don’t make me laugh! In this world on those with strong quirks can become a hero and make a change, someone with a second rate quirk likes yours would be lucky to work as a janitor!”

After an incident where he accidentally burned his mother during a training session, Echiiro’s bullying tendencies decreased slightly. The only time he got into fights was when bullies were physically hurting someone else or when someone provoked him. He mainly kept to himself but still maintained that “a person’s quirk determined their place and position within life.” Albeit with an odd and often twisted sense of chivalry. This change in attitude persisted during the entrance exam for U.A. During the exam, it was noted that Echiiro excelled in combat and that his quirk was incredibly dangerous, if not outright deadly.

That said, Echiiro was allowed entry into the hero courses at U.A. after someone saw the potential within his quirk and his “warped sense of honor.”
