Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia manga has been serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump since July 2014. The series follows Izuku Midoriya—an honest and courageous high school student—who strives to follow in the footsteps of his idol All Might and become the best superhero. My Hero Academia has achieved far-reaching success; financially, it is one of the best-selling manga of all time, with over 85 million copies in circulation worldwide. In terms of critical recognition, it won Best Manga at the 2017 Sugoi Japan Awards and the 2019 Harvey Awards.
Additionally, Horikoshi's work has spawned a large multimedia franchise, including light novel adaptations, manga spin-offs, related films, stage plays, and of course video game releases. Besides the upcoming Ultra Rumble, a new game collaboration with the iconic superhero-themed series Fortnite was recently announced. Three new skins inspired by fan-favorite characters Shoto Todoroki, Eijiro Kirishima, and Mina Ashido are now available for purchase in Epic Games' popular battle royale game.
