#KNHA actors AU

[zer0-10]

Okay, everyone has these cool ideas, now it's time for one of my own! Anyway, Actor AUs are one of my most favourite jams. (eg : our characters are just actors acting in the setting of the world. so for this, it would be the KNHA world)

So my question is, how is your character personality different from their real person? Are there any special effects used for them (like maybe how Makoto probably has takes hours to be painted blue or Kabane has to have sfx make up to look like a zombie)

[imminent-soup]

Hnnnngggh actor au *clenches fist*

@zer0-10 put this into my head and I dropped everything just so I could make a couple of sketches.

I just think it would be really funny for kabane’s actor to be a total asshole. How he hasn’t been fired already? No one knows,,

[murasaki-naga]

made this in 5 minutes while my schoolwork loaded

no actual effort involved, i just wanted to spite @korissideblog

dont ask i havent woken up yet, not for real anyway

[nicosbrainrot]

knha actors AU got my brain going so here's a hypothetical interview with ikuto's actor

-From an interview with Kosuke Shimoda-

Shimoda, thank you for being here.

Thank you for having me, I'm super excited to talk about the show.

So, you wanna tell us a little bit about Kimi No Hero Academia?

Oh yeah! It's a slice of life that takes place at a school for superpowered kids training to be heros.

Slice of life? With superpowers?

Yeah, it's really interesting to see such a complex world with characters that all have these crazy abilities and just get episodes about high school drama. It's weird but I honestly love it. It's like a lighthearted spin on your typical teen action shows.

Sounds great, and what about the character you're playing?

I'm playing Ikuto Maekawa, he's this kind of reserved kid who you honestly wouldn't think much about until they give you a bit more sight into his character. He's just a really anxious person, has a lot of self doubt, which isn't great when you're aspiring to be a superhero, y'know? I really liked his character cause, in a way, I kinda related to his feelings of inadequacy, like he's not really supposed to be here- this kind of imposter syndrome- it really struck a chord with me. Honestly, I think it's something a lot of people can relate to. I'm really glad I got the part, but it's a pretty different role than I'm used to.

Different in what ways?

Usually I play the more laid back and friendly characters, someone for people to bounce off of. Ikuto is probably the most uptight character I've ever played, I really have to get into a mindset while in-character.

Can you describe that mindset to us?

Ah, well, I basically have to stress myself out. His whole thing is that he acts all calm and collected but he's actually super worried all the time, so there's layers to it. I can't just act calm, but I can't be visibly stressed either, I have to look just ever so slightly like I'm hiding something, and so the easiest thing to do is to just actually stress myself out.

And how do you do that?

Honestly, I just think about all the stuff I normally try not to think about while filming. Everyone watching, the pressure to get it right, not just to get the scene done but to do it well. Not to mention all the people on set who are like- we've got some big names here, and it's a bit overwhelming if I let it be. I'm normally not a nervous person, I'd say, but I kind of have to pull out all this anxious energy in order to get his character right, it's like the opposite of what I normally have to do. [laughing]

Speaking of big names, how are you getting along with your castmates?

Oh, everyone is just great. I mean, if I'm being really honest, I kinda didn't like Hoshizawa's actor at first. Yuno, if you're seeing this, I'm sorry. [laughing] I can say this now cause we're friends, but when we first met I thought they were a bit much. Like, he's as close as you can get to a stereotypical theater kid, it's um- yeah. But at some point after filming he ask if I wanted to go out to lunch some time and I figured, y'know, I'm gonna be spending a lot of time with this bastard, I might as well get to know them, and I was really surprised by how much his energy was different one on one compared to while with the rest of the crew.

So you get along well now?

We- yeah, we get along well I'd say. [laughing] As well as we can. The other person I'm probably closest with is Shishio, she's a sweetheart, I love him. Oh, but don't tell her anything unless you want literally the entire cast finding out, I learned that the hard way.

Oh? You wanna tell us about that?

Uh, no. [laughing] But uh, besides that, I actually really admire Ramos. I know it's... hard- to come out as trans as an actor. I have a lot of respect for him, and I feel like we can kind of relate in a way, and I love what she's doing with her character. Aito was probably my favorite from the manga. I would have auditioned for him but I just- I know I couldn't pull off that role. He's doing it really well though and I love working with her. I mess around with him sometimes, I feel like I have to, to make up for the hell she gives my character, you'll see in the first season, they have a really interesting dynamic.

You mess around with him? How?

I'll steal her props sometimes, specifically the horns because he forgets about them all the time anyway. She doesn't- she doesn't even fucking notice [laughing] until at least halfway through a scene. I don't know if he's figured out it's me yet, so- I mean, I'd say I'm sorry but I'm not. This is my cosmic justice for Aito being a little shit. [laughing]

We'll look forward to seeing their dynamic on screen.

I hope so.

Do you have any final words before we wrap things up?

Yeah, watch the show! It's gonna be great, I promise. Kimi No Hero Academia, it's coming out this summer.

[plutoeater]

Why don’t you come into the water?

Of course Hina would be a siren.

(Feel free to interact with this post if you wish! Hina has literally no friends thus far 💀)

Also! Long time no see! Me and art block are in a war and I am losing badly 🤣

[beetrootbot]

Actor au? Actor au!

The actor for Yori doesn't look very friendly at all- she doesn't talk or smile much either, so its pretty jarring to see her face fall whenever the cameras are off! She's not actually as mean as she seems, she's very cooperative, she just looks really mad all that time outside of acting. She's an ex-boxer who's career ended prematurely due to her hemophobia. Despite this, she had amassed a fair few fans and ended up switching career paths into acting! God knows how she got casted for Yori though,,,

In order to look the part, she has to have scars done with makeup which can take a while, especially when more skin is showing. She also wears black contacts and gels her hair to better match Yori's appearance. She already has knuckle scars from being bad at boxing in her youth, so she doesn't need makeup for those C:

Because of her hemophobia, and the fact that Yori is almost exclusively around injuries in any given scene, whenever her face goes pale after "taking an injury" it's not just good acting, it's also the fact that the actor is desperately trying not to puke at the sight of fake blood. Fight scenes also come very natural to her, although she has had to be stopped from just DECKING a fellow actor in the face during the filming of certain scenes. Another unfortunate thing is that Yori never swears, but her actor does a LOT. Some of the only bloopers she has playing Yori are during intense moments where she just starts cursing

tldr: she looks like this off set

[you-may-call-me-meme]

ahaha,,,, cursed actor au,,,

Moas actor is super sweet & shy compared to the role she plays!! She often surprises people with how effortlessly someone like her can play a character with such a strong personality, despite being so meek herself--

She constantly apologizes to her fellow actors on set, since she gets really into her role sometimes and worries she'll scare someone...

A popular actress appearing in a few teen drama/romance movies & series!! Got casted in knha due to her popularity in a previous protagonist role.

Moa was SUPER out of her comfort zone but it's a pleasant shock how well she portrays the character

Her hair isn't naturally curly, so throughout production she had her hair permed for her role :)

Her personal Instagram became popular since she posts pictures of her and Makoto's actor on their dates!! Fans seem to enjoy that the character's actors are a couple irl too

Konekomaru's actor is SUPER popular on social media, and is very stuck up and stubborn-- he's unfortunately very hard to work with

Gives the hair & makeup staff hell-- he's super picky about how he's made up for filming so it takes him nearly as long as actors that go through more dramatic appearance changes do to get ready

A successful online influencer and model that starred in a few commercials/advertisements before knha--Konekomaru is technically his first big role!!

Starts social media beef with the other actors on a regular basis COUGH Mao and Amorette COUGH

Can't see in the contacts he has to wear for Konekomaru!! constantly stumbles and trips over stuff on set cos he can't see shit

He technically wears a wig with the cat ears built in, but it's styled/modeled roughly after his own hairstyle. His cat tail is CGI

[korissideblog]

ACTOR AU

[honestly when is it the best time for a Kori Post if not 20 minutes after everyone's already done with a trend <3]

So!! bullet points!!!

- a couple things were changed between the manga and the show in relation to Aito <3 there was a bit of backlash but most people actually liked it!

- he originally started with just tv commercials, but got his big break as a side character in a popular family sitcom.

- Ramos came out as genderfluid in the taping of her last show, (as Ramos puts it: “there was just one episode where my character wore a skirt as a joke and… you know I realized that- that I actually really liked the skirt and the makeup and- and you know- gender is a lot more than just presentation but… that was just kinda my first baby step into the whole “gender” thing”) and there was alot of heat.

- he said that if he was gonna play Aito, She would have to be canonically genderfluid

- (the show runners weren’t going to cave but the rest of the cast kept calling him by his preferred pronouns, and just decided that giving him what he wants is easier than recasting)

- Aito's mother is played by Ramos' actual mother! it's why their chemistry is so strong!

- despite being a bit of an airhead, Ramos is a HUGE advocate for scientific/political literacy

- Ramos actually doesn’t need to spend too much time in the makeup chair, but will literally sit there and put on mascara (that he doesn’t need) for an hour just so he can talk to the “5 hour makeup kids“

- Ramos is a vicious gossip. she’s just such an easy person to talk to! Wouldn’t you like to spill your deepest secrets to Shishio Ramos? And if she accidentally forgets to keep those secrets secret? Well! Accidents happen!

- speaking of accidents- if a cool prop or set piece goes missing, you should probably talk to Ramos 💀 it’s all an accident!!! He just forgets things are in his hand and now he’s!! walking away with the key to jetsam’s smoke machine!!!!!

- I can’t decide if Ramos and Ikuto’s actor are bestys or mortal enemies and now I’m thinking it’s <3 both

- most of aito’s friendships on the show work as well as they do bc Ramos is just such a sweetheart <3

-but like over half the bloopers exist bc Ramos is a goofball who’ll forget his lines and just react like he think Aito would (always ends terribly)

-the rest of the bloopers are bc this boy Cannot Sit Still For Even A Second Or He Will Die. he’ll just think he’s out of frame and start dancing, either distracting his coworkers or messing up the shot

- surprisingly has the mouth of a sailor- but only around the cast members he’s actually friends with

-hopes that knha never ends, but when it does, he wants to become a horror actor!

[ayume-hikkido]

POV: you're watching ayume's actor chase someone down before filming

She's thinks it's absolutely hilarious. Whoever she's chasing? Not so much.

bonus:

Holding a phone in your mouth is surprising easy!

[kiyomi-mizumi-1y]

Actor AU? HMM..

Was discussing with @tano-hoshiz-1y about the dynamic with these two behind the scenes, and this came out lmao

Boni’s actress is named Camila Tanaka, and is almost the complete opposite of Boni. That’s just all I can think of. Boni’s a sweet/demonic chaos child and her actress probably will death stare at you for absolutely no reason?

(So sorry that I changed Boni’s colors but I kinda deleted all my characters (lol cried myself to sleep) and now I gotta remake EVERYTHING)

[gamergirlshelby]

Alright Actor AU as the last big post of the day (well night technically for me but thats whatever).

Since I technically have three people to go over I will be going over all of this stuff in the read more.

Alright first off is Tokiya.

Tokiya is played by two different people depending on which form they're in. First there is the actor who plays base Tokiya and old Tokiya. They usually have to dye and spike their hair to get the grey part the way it is in the show. They also has to put in contacts to make his eyes the accurate color. Tokiya also needs to put a lot of concealer to help hide any wrinkles due to the lack of change his physical form makes when aging in canon.

Personality wise base Tokiya's actor is very different, being extremely extroverted and talkative to the rest of the cast members, which contrasts his character. Tokiya's actor also references... so many memes... oh man why did I decide on this. Probably one of the most active with the fanbase.

Then there is the actor for young Tokiya. He doesn't need to do much in terms of makeup since his iris is naturally black and usually wears a wig since the baseball cap had usually blocked the dyed part of the wig.

Similarly to the actor for Tokiya's base form he is very talkative, and is probably one of, if not the youngest actor on set.

Third I wanted to point out Inazumata's actor.

Ina's actor doesn't have a lot of work to do when it comes to costumes since she just needs to dye her hair grey.

Aesthetic wise the two are also completely different, with Ina's actor being a fan of pastel colors while Ina the character has more of a biker theme. Personality wise they are similar however, with Ina's actor being more calm while the character is extremely hyper and talkative.

Lastly I want to point out all three are all related, with base Tokiya's actor and Ina's actor applying for the job without each other's knowledge. Young Tokiya's actor had actually gotten the job later on since it had been harder to find a roll for since it was hard to find an actor that had looked like base Tokiya's actor. It's just these three however, with the actors for Tokiya's parents being unrelated to these three.

I think it’s fun if they just had a shared TikTok account, but god it’ll be so chaotic. 8′D

A More Organized Actor AU post-

(From Left to Right)

All For One/??? Shigaraki - Takahiro Miyazaki

- Has been in the industry for a WHILE. His parents have been in showbiz (mother an idol, father a director) and he met his wife through a film when they were both child actors. Unfortunately, she died a little while after Michiko turned 3.

- Doing quite well for himself as a single father and as an actor. He wasn't gonna force his children into the industry but is overjoyed at being able to act alongside them (even if he IS the villain).

- 11/10 very good dad! Love love LOVES his children to bits and is always cheering them on in the background.

- Takahiro is the same actor for AFO as the one in BnHA, so he and Toshinori go back! He may have been Toshi's wingman with Sato's actor!

- Has some directing experience and has directed a few of the eps of KnHA

- Best part about being in this show: Getting the chance to act with his children!

- Will ALWAYS apologize whenever he hurts someone for a scene.

- While he wears heels/platforms to give himself the extra foot, he's genuinely kind of tall and imposing irl. Once you get to know him though, he's an absolute softie.

-Would 100% punch his character in the face

-Any scenes where AFO shows a more "empathetic" side isn't really acting at all.

-Is happy to assist other actors and give them tips!

-There is one thing he has in common with his character and that’s the fact he’s almost always in a suit—

Michiko Shigaraki - Kaori Miyazaki

-Her first big break! While she's acted before, she's mainly done side characters, so this is her first role as a major character.

-Plenty of her scenes have been ab-libbed, she's her character without the daddy issues.

-Was studying to be a chef if acting didn't work out. Michiko's culinary prowess was adapted because Kaori wouldn't stop making treats for everyone.

-Part of the "5 minutes on Makeup" Squad! The most she has to have done is covering her freckles and adding the spade (even then the changing card suits are primarily added post production)

-I stand by my earlier statement, she can drink everyone under the table. Takahiro has no idea where she got it from.

-Best Part about working with KnHA: Meeting and Befriending her fellow actors!

-Can keep a straight face even with shenanigans happening but the second the director says “CUT!” she will burst into laughter.

Tomura Shigaraki/Tenko Shimura - Masaru Miyazaki

-another BnHA migrate! He wasn’t supposed to appear in KnHA but when he found out it was his sister’s first big role, he HAD to ask if he could at least cameo. Then people liked this version of Tomura so much he ended up appearing more through the season.

-He doesn’t appear much though since he’s also still filming BnHA + his side career as a musician.

-Looks up to Miss Me’s actress as a singer and lost his shit when he first saw her on set

-KnHA Tomura is another case of character like the actor, and a ton of the additional details is adapted from Masaru himself. For example, he has his own makeup line so any product he uses in scenes are from his own.

-Kinda looks like a Kpop Star! Coincidentally, he studied in Korea for a few years and is fluent in the language.

-has made faces behind the camera trying to get the actors to break character.

-best part about working in KnHA: Less time on the makeup chair because he doesn’t need to look so crusty! No joke, he cried when he realized this.

-The Cast’s cool older bro and he helps out a lot with makeup.

[murasaki-naga]

the only person sturdy enough to play someone as giddy as naga in that much makeup must be someone actually giddy irl

her patience would have to be unlimited

[nicosbrainrot]

:)) :)) hey. so. How diligently does ikuto do schoolwork? can he focus easily?

gatortopia pulling the uno reverse card on me yet again <3

in short, ikuto does his work extremely diligently, he won't miss a deadline even if he's dying.

his inferiority complex definately affects how he views his grades, especially since they're something that is actually measured in a way he can see & therefor feels like he has more control over them than a lot of other things in his life, so he puts an obsessive amount of effort into getting as good a grade as possible, because "perfection" (100%) is actually obtainable in this situation.

in terms of focus, he usually doesn't have too hard of a time as long as he starts it soon enough & understands the material, if he ends up getting dragged around by his friends for too long & starts his work too late he starts stressing about having enough time to finish it while still getting enough sleep (this boy is always tired) & that ends up just making it harder to do his work which then takes longer & stresses him out more until he's spiralling, he'll still get it done but would definately rather avoid all that so he always tries to head straight to his dorm after school to finish whatever he couldn't do in class before doing anything recreational. if he's working with or around other people he can still focus pretty well, he's used to having someone around when doing his schoolwork (kichiro) so he's good at keeping himself focused on his own work & helping them focus on theirs, & if he understands the material himself he can explain things really well to other people if they need help.

so he's way too uptight about his own work & getting a good grade but is actually a pretty good study partner.

[jetsam-kisa]

JSFDKJSDCKSJFKSDCJ here is a quick cursed Actor AU Jetsam from @zer0-10 ‘s fun AU!

He’s a child star who is trying to make his transition from squeaky clean baby media to more serious, artsy stuff. He’s happy playing Jetsam because he gets to stretch his anxiety/dramatic acting muscles. He has really good PR and is polite enough to his costars but he has a bit of an earned reputation of being a diva.

There are a million edits of him wearing flower crowns online

When the KNHA Show ends he’ll move even further to weird, indie projects. Kind of like Daniel Radcliffe
