No, Deku, also known as Izuku Midoriya, the protagonist of 'My Hero Academia' doesn't have a biological sibling. He's an only child, raised by his loving mother, Inko Midoriya. However, the bonds he forms with other heroes could be interpreted as brotherly, especially his complicated relationship with Katsuki Bakugo, his childhood friend and rival.

In 'My Hero Academia', Shigaraki Tomura, also known as Tenko Shimura, is not Izuku Midoriya's (Deku's) brother. They don't share any blood relationship. However, they share an intense and complicated relationship towards each other due to their opposing views and goals. Shigaraki, being AFO's successor and Deku, having inherited OFA, have become rivals. Even though they are not brothers, they, ironically, have parallel and mirrored narrative arcs in the story.

Hisashi Midoriya is Deku's (Izuku Midoriya) father, at least according to 'My Hero Academia'. At the same time, we hear very little about him, never mention him or show him in series. They say he is overseas at work and has a quirk that lets him breathe fire. This is all we know about. There are a lot of fans who are curious to see what Hisashi looks like!

Midoriya Izuku, or Deku as he's affectionately (and sometimes mockingly) called, is the heart and soul of 'My Hero Academia'. At first glance, he's this scrawny, nerdy kid who worships heroes like All Might but has no quirk of his own—until destiny literally punches him in the face. All Might sees something in him: that stubborn, selfless bravery where he rushes into danger even when he's terrified. The moment he inherits One For All, you can feel the story shift from 'can he?' to 'how far will he go?'
What's fascinating is how his growth isn't just about power. Early on, he breaks his bones constantly because he hasn't learned control, but it mirrors his emotional journey—learning to trust himself. The way he analyzes villains' quirks mid-fight? Pure genius. He turns his 'weakness' (being quirkless) into strength by outthinking opponents. Plus, his dynamic with Bakugo is one of the most complex rivalries in anime—full of resentment, grudging respect, and shared history. Honestly, Deku makes you root for the underdog even when he's technically overpowered.
