Summary
Kyoka Jiro (耳郎響香 Jirō Kyōka) is a student at U.A. High, training to become a Pro Hero. She is known as Earphone Jack (イヤホンジャック Iyahon Jakku).
Earphone Jack has a pragmatic, unenthusiastic and rude personality which is shown a lot to those she finds irritating, in particular, her fellow classmate Chargebolt, who happens to be the most common target of her snarky comments. She also is notably prone to using her Quirk to physically punish people or to keep them in line, notably Chargebolt and Grape Juice. Despite the fact that she comes off as cold and indifferent, Earphone Jack also has a much more sensitive side, being very defensive and empathetic towards her friends and others.
Earphone Jack has a major interest in music (rock, in particular) and owns several instruments which she is able to play to some extent.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Earphone Jack: Her Quirk gives her long, flexible earlobes, resembling earphone jacks. She is able to insert her jacks into objects and amplify her own heartbeat into the object, causing havoc inside of it. She is also able to hear quiet sounds through thick objects much easier when they are inserted. The jacks are used as whips and can extend 6 meters and have a sound radius of 12 meters. With her amplification gear, the power and range of the sound are increased.
- Canceling: Earphone Jack inserts her plugs into her boots and lets out a calm sound, effectively canceling out any other sounds in the area, such as Present Mic's Voice.
- Heartbeat Fuzz: Earphone Jack's special move, which she slams her amplifiers into the ground, and lets out a single heartbeat, which releases a powerful soundwave, capable of shattering a large radius of ground
- Heartbeat Surround: Earphone Jack removes the straps on her wrists to her Amplifiers, allowing them to freely extend out to targets while attached to her jacks. She then releases a large soundwave through them to incapacitate enemies and bypass conventional defenses from a closer range while she stays further away.
