Shoto comes from a generally wealthy family, on account that his father is the #2 hero of Japan. Although many would expect Shoto to be proud of his father, Shoto has actually grown up resenting him. This is a result of the lifetime of abuse that Shoto has endured from Endeavor, both physical and verbal. He was isolated from playing with his other siblings, as Endeavor felt as though they will never reach the same level of importance as Shoto. Shoto is meant to be Endeavor’s successor, as he has the perfect combination Endeavor’s fire and his mother’s ice.
