Hitoshi is a very stoic and straightforward person with an innate ability to spark conversation with anyone. This is showcased when he nearly tricks Izuku into talking to him not only after the Cavalry Battle[3], but during their match in the finals as well. 

Regardless of having his Quirk referred to as evil throughout his life, Hitoshi desires to become a Hero more than anything. He has a deep longing to become a Pro-Hero and disprove everyone who has doubted his heroic intent

Not only does he want to refute those who shame his abilities, but he also aspires to usurp students who walk the path towards becoming a Pro-Hero, as he wished to.

He also appears to be Quite resentful to those with Quirks more practical for becoming Pro-Heroes. He constantly berated Izuku for being blessed with a "heroic Quirk" during their match.
