Daigoro Banjo (万ばん縄じょう大だい悟ご郎ろう, Banjō Daigorō^?), also known by his hero name Lariat (ラリアット, Rariatto^?) is a major character in the My Hero Academia franchise.

He is voiced by Hiroki Yasumoto (who also voiced Elfman Strauss in Fairy Tail, King in One Punch Man, Azan in Berserk, Agil in Sword Art Online, Bill Watkins in Spy x Family, and Hyo in Sakamoto Days) in Japanese and by Andrew Love in English.

Appearance[]

Daigoro is a very large, bulky, strong man. He has a wide face with a square shape, small and very light blue dull eyes, and he has no eyebrows. He is also completely bald, but he does have a small beard that prevents his head from shining.

His outfit consists of a long jacket made of dark leather with yellow pads on the shoulders, a set of gold goggles that are hi-tech, and a bandolier across the chest. Since he does not wear a shirt under the jacket, his muscular upper body is always exposed.

Personality[]

Daigoro's style is "super funky," which means he has more energy than most of the other One For All users, who tend to be more reserved and calm.

Daigoro was very proud of his Quirk and called it "the best." He would frequently "play around" with his predecessor, Hikage Shinomori, about being a recluse and mentor En, his successor, like a junior employee. Daigoro was determined, ultimately preventing All For One from stealing One For All from him, demonstrating extraordinary determination.

Biography[]

Not much is known about his early life, but at some point Daigoro became a Pro Hero known as Lariat. Eventually, he met Hikage Shinomori, who gave him One For All before he died, making Daigoro the fifth One For All user. Daigoro would continue being a hero after receiving One For All, and would eventually meet En Tayutai, who he would one day give One For All to.

All For One managed to find Daigoro, and despite Daigoro's best efforts to defeat him, he failed, and transferred One For All to En before dying.

At this point, Daigoro would become a vestige within One For All, and would eventually help Izuku Midoriya, the ninth user, to defeat Tomura Shigaraki, All For One's apprentice.
