Mei Hatsume
Height: 163cm
A brilliant inventor with an almost obsessive passion for creating gadgets and gear. She's best known for her resourcefulness and her ability to whip up functional tech from scrap materials—a skill that comes in handy at U.A. High School, where she uses her support items to help other students train.
What really drives her, though, is her deep love for her grandfather. He's a major influence on her life and work, and she's genuinely devoted to him. Her whole approach to inventing seems tied to wanting to make him proud.
Her name is actually a clever pun. "Dai" means "great," while "hatsumeika" means "inventor"—so put them together and you've got "great inventor," which pretty much sums up her ambition and the way she sees herself.
