My Hero Academia Cosplay Perfectly Recreates Mt. Lady
Cosplayer MissBriCosplay perfectly brings pro-hero Mt Lady and her quirk powers to life as part of her recently updated My Hero Academia cosplay. The character is voiced by Kaori Nazuka in Studio Bones' adaptation of Kohei Horikoshi's superhero manga series. Mt Lady made her debut as one of the first pro-heroes seen in the series' first episodes.
A pro-hero with the quirk Gigantification that allows her to grow to the enlarged height of 2,062 centimeters, Yu Takeyama takes on the name Mt Lady to fight against villains and protect civilians. Ranking no.23 on Japan's Hero Billboard charts, Yu was one of the first pro-heroes seen in the series' opening episode, Midoriya Izuku: Origin, being one of the heroes working the day that Izuku Midoriya (Daiki Yamashita) proves himself against the Sludge Villain (Shinya Fukumatsu), catching the eye of All-Might (Kenta Miyake) as a potential inheritor of his One for All quirk. Ahead of My Hero Academia season 6's promised gigantic battles, one cosplayer has perfectly captured the size-shifting hero and her quirk in a recent photo.
Cosplayer MissBriCosplay took to her Instagram account to share two compiled photographs from a recent shoot in which she cosplayed as Mt Lady. The image sees MissBriCosplay dressed as the character alongside an image from a character sheet for comparison with the original design. MissBriCosplay explains in the post that she specifically chose the background to help replicate Mt Lady's Gigantification quirk in action through the use of angles and posing. The cosplayer also explained that her recent Mt Lady cosplay is an improvement from her previous version. Check out MissBriCosplay's original post below.

While Mt Lady hasn't had an as prominent role as current no.1 hero Endeavor (Tetsu Inada), Hawks (Yuichi Nakamura), or Mirko (Sayaka Kinoshita), the character has made many appearances since her debut in the series' opening. Yu was one of the heroes who were assigned to guard the U.A. Sports Festival, before later taking on Minoru Mineta (Ryō Hirohashi) as part of his Hero Agency Internship, where she put the student to work doing chores around her offices. Mt Lady also partook in the rescue of Katsuki Bakugo (Nobuhiko Okamoto) when he found himself captured by the League of Villains, later forming the hero team The Lurkers with fellow pro-heroes Kamui Woods (Masamichi Kitada) and Edgeshot (Kenta Kamakari). Her last appearance in the anime saw her help teach Class 1-A how to act in front of the media in season five's "Endeavour Agency Arc".
With My Hero Academia remaining incredibly popular and seeing new editions of the manga being published, its cast has exploded to feature a large number of beloved and memorable characters. Nevertheless, Mt Lady has proved to be one of the most enduring heroes, thanks to her recurring roles and how she helped introduce fans to the hero society of the series, while also showing the ever-changing world and effects Deku's story has on it. MissBriCosplay's recent cosplay perfectly brings the character to life in a way that ingeniously captures her quirk.
