#horikoshi sketches
Played with Mina from Horikoshi’s New Years sketch post.
Decided to go with the aggressively-90′s-taco-bell aesthetic. Also, karaoke instead of kite flying since I couldn’t stop laughing long enough to work in Kirishima being ducttaped to a kite.

So this is the project I’ve been working on an off for a while.
I inked the four twittersketches Horikoshi posted leading up to the Heroes Rising debut as a continuous poster.
First image is the sketches spliced together, second is the completed inks.
Tumblr’s size limits mean you can’t see shit on the completed version. So if you want the full sized inks transparent so you can color them, DM me with your email and I’ll send a much sharper transparent PNG to you.
Lastly, a series of cropped bits so you can see these children without filling your whole damned monitor.
I have a different layer for each of the kids, so I may go back and work to make each complete as a standalone. Some will be harder than others.

僕のヒーローアカデミア29-巻1/4発売です。よろしくね !
Boku no Hiirou Akademia 29-kan ¼ hatsubai desu. Yoroshikune!
MY HERO ACADEMIA VOLUME 29 IS BEING RELEASED ON ¼. THANKS!
The tone of the “Thanks, yoroshikune,” makes me think Toga-chan is the one saying it. So just imagine it in Toga-chan’s voice.
Toga-chan is a totally trendy and stylish teenage Japanese school girl in her ensemble. I could see Camie-chan wearing something similar to this, or maybe even shorter. Ochaco-chan and Kyouka-chan wore a more traditional new years furisodelong-sleevedkimono.
Toga-chan is wearing a quirk-themed blood-stained (patterned, I hope) kimono, with ankle length hakama pants to show off her nice boots.
Thehakama was a traditional school girl uniform in the Meiji Era. Very appropriate for Toga-chan, who is always wearing a high school uniform.
Her hair is done up slightly differently today with a simple kanzashi hair stick. It looks like her nails are done too. I’d be surprised if they weren’t blood red.
Toga-chan is licking her knife while looking at the ushi-san. It looks like she likes them quite a bit. She probably wants to give them a stab or two to say hello.
Ushi-san(kirei da ne Toga-chan 2021)
Mr. Cow(It’s beautiful Toga-chan 2021)
Horikoshi probably messed up his writing the words left handed… Of course he’d be better at drawing left handed than writing left handed.
I don’t know if the “beautiful” is referring to Toga-chan or 2021 or some 2021 version of Toga-chan.
If it refers to Toga-chan, then it might be a bit ironic. “Kirei” in Japanese means pretty, but can also mean pure, clean, tidy and neat. Toga-chan may be pretty, but she’s not pure or clean in a blood-stained kimono…
Ushi-san (hamono sutete)
Mr. Cow (Throw away the knife)
A smaller, hornless Mr. Cow is crying while asking for Toga-chan to put down her knife. The word for knife translates to “cutlery,” so I’m thinking he doesn’t want to get eaten?
I have no idea why they seem to be on fire or glowing… Horikoshi-sensei, come back here and explain yourself!!!
Happy New Year 2021

あけましておめでとうございます！いつも応援ありがとうございます。今年も宜しくお願い致します！皆さん健康に気をつけてお過ごしください！
Akemashite omedetōgozaimasu! Itsumo ōen arigatōgozaimasu. Kotoshi mo yoroshiku onegaiitashimasu! Minasan kenkō ni kiwotsukete osugoshi kudasai!
Happy New Year! Thank you for your support. I look forward to working with you again this year! Please take care of your health!

Please show your support by following him and supporting his works! Horikoshi-sensei is a pure bean and an amazing artist and deserves all the love we can offer. He’s been working tirelessly through the pandemic to bring us all joy every week. Horikoshi-sensei is just so wonderful and we can’t thank him enough!!!
Midoriya-kun and Todoroki-kun are eating mochifromtheir bowlsofo-zoni,Japanese New Year Mochi Soup.Look at it stretch, it looks super chewy and delicious!!!
It’s a common new years day morning breakfast, so they must be about to head over to the local shrine for hatsumoude,the first shrine visit of the year.Hatsumoude is one of the few occasions in the year where men can be expected to wear a full kimono.
Don’t these boys look AMAZING?!
But the girls have still got them beat; their nails are done, their hair is styled and they have lovely floralkanzashiin their hair. On top of all that, look at their gorgeous quirk-themed kimono!!!
Kyouka-chan is sporting a musical note patterned kimono; and is that a lightning bolt on your obi, Kyouka-chan? While Ochaco-chan has a lovely outerspace galaxy pattern. I wonder if there’s a certain All Might netsuke hanging from her obi but hidden from sight…
Behind them, Bakugou-kun and Kirishima-kun are playing taiko. Well, Kirishima-kun is playing, but Bakugou-kun is probably a serious master taiko drummer at work. He’s giving HayashiEitetsu(林英哲) a run for his money!
Kacchan’s always killing it on the drums! Murder them all with music!! Aim for that perfect victory!!!
Sfx:かっちゃん (kacchan)
(This joke never gets old for Horikoshi-sensei. Although maybe he just means his name and not the sfx.)
Hang in there Kirishima-kun! The “えい(Ei)” in “Eijirou (鋭 児 郎)” may not be for “genius(英才,eisai),”but you’re still plenty sharp(鋭,ei)!
Kanji:切島(Kirishima)
(“Kirishima” uses the same kanji “kiri” as kiritaosu(切り倒す), meaning to cut down; to chop down; to fell. I’m thinking Horikoshi-sensei was going for that, but I can’t be sure. There were fantastic kanji shenanigans with Hayashi Eitetsu’s name too. The connection between KacchanandHayashi Eitetsu is pretty clear to me. Either way it’s still plenty fun!!!)
Oooh!!! And what’s this?
A pair of wild USHI-SANhave appeared!
Katakana: (うしさん,ushi-san);“Mr. Cow”
Mr. Cow are super rare, only appearing once every twelve years for exactly a year during the lunar calendar Year of the Ox. They look like cows but somehow have hands instead of hoofs and hand shaped udders…? Horikoshi-sensei WTF.
(Horikoshi-sensei please don’t tell me this is your new self-insert character now, after that last one got burned by Dabi)
The lunar new year doesn’t begin until February 12, 2021, so they’re a little early. But I hope that’s a good omen for the coming of a safer and healthier, better, brighter future!!!
Wishing our Class 1-A Kids, Horikoshi-sensei and ALL OF YOU a wonderful day and a…
PLUS ULTRAHAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Bakugou as a Chihuahua. My life is complete.
