Intelligence: Above Average (Hitoshi makes good use of his Quirk by trying to provoke his opponent into responding. Was trained by Eraser Head in hand-to-hand combat during an entire year and has gained proficient control over his Capturing Weapon. Can read lips)
Weaknesses: As long as the enemy remains silent, Hitoshi's Quirk won't have any effect on them. It is also possible to escape the mind control if the victim is hit by a sufficiently strong physical jolt or through a similar amount of pain. Brainwashing doesn't work on non-living entities like robots, and his Quirk won't work if his voice is projected through speakers or a megaphone. The people who get brainwashed cannot perform an order that requires them to think how to do the process Hitoshi wants. This weakness has been mitigated by training, with Hitoshi being able to make people speak fluently enough to fool All For One and his lie-detecting Quirk.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Brainwashing: Hitoshi's Quirk allows him to mind control people who verbally respond to him and, as a result, they will be forced to do whatever he wants. However, this Quirk will not activate, regardless of whether people verbally respond to him or not, if he doesn't will it. He has trained this Quirk to be able to make the target perform more complex tasks.
