My Hero Academia mouse pads for the desk

Our My Hero Academia mouse pads and desk mats carry art inspired by Kōhei Horikoshi's school for heroes, printed edge to edge on a 3 mm neoprene pad with a fabric top, a non-slip base and stitched edges. You can go as small as an 11.8″ × 15.7″ (30 × 40 cm) pad for the mouse or as large as a 23.6″ × 47.2″ (60 × 120 cm) mat that runs under keyboard, mouse and more, with six sizes in between, and each pad is printed for your order alone.

My Hero Academia ran in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 2014 to 2024, and the anime by Bones, which began in 2016, carried it all the way to the final war. It is set in a world where most people are born with a superpower called a Quirk, and it follows Izuku Midoriya, a boy born without one, as he inherits the power of the greatest hero alive and enrolls at U.A. High School.

Character pages

Two of Deku's classmates have pages of their own under My Hero Academia: Bakugo, his explosive childhood rival, and Todoroki, the student who fights with ice and fire. This page gathers everyone else, from Deku and All Might to the rest of Class 1-A, the teachers, the pro heroes and the League of Villains.

Hero green on the desk

Deku's color is green: a green bodysuit, dark green hair and, when he powers up, green sparks of energy crackling over his skin. Add his red shoes and the black of his gloves and mask, and you have a palette that is bright without being garish. On a desk, it pairs well with a black keyboard, green or white keycaps and plants, which is a real advantage for a desk that sits in a living space rather than a dedicated gaming room.

If you light the setup, a single green LED strip behind the monitor picks up the color of One For All. If you don't, the green holds its own under ordinary daylight.

Deku's costume, version by version

Deku's hero costume changes as he does. His first one is a jumpsuit his mother made for him, with a mask whose mouthguard echoes All Might's smile and two points on top like All Might's hair. Later versions add iron soles, arm braces and gloves to protect him from his own power. In the final arcs, after he leaves school to fight alone, the costume turns ragged and dark, and that dirty, worn version is known as Dark Deku.

The early costume suits a cheerful desk and a younger fan. Dark Deku is the opposite, a grim figure in black and dull green for a dark desk with low light, and a sign that the story you care about is the later one.

All Might, the Symbol of Peace

All Might is the hero everyone in the story looks up to: huge, smiling, dressed in a costume of red, white, blue and gold that could have come straight out of an American comic. Behind that image is Toshinori Yagi, a thin, injured man who can only hold his muscular form for a few hours a day. The contrast between the two forms is one of the series' most memorable images.

All Might designs bring primary colors and a lot of energy. His last fight against All For One, ending with a single punch he calls the United States of Smash, gives a desk mat a huge, glowing center. Keep the punch at the end opposite the mouse, or choose a portrait of his grin for the small pad.

Class 1-A, twenty seats

Deku's class has twenty students, and each one comes with a Quirk, a hero name and a costume of their own. Ochaco Uraraka floats things with a touch of her fingertips. Tenya Iida runs on engines built into his calves. Tsuyu Asui has the abilities of a frog, Eijiro Kirishima hardens his skin until it turns jagged and tough, Denki Kaminari throws electricity, Momo Yaoyorozu creates objects from her own body, Fumikage Tokoyami fights alongside a shadow creature called Dark Shadow, and Kyoka Jiro plugs her earphone jacks into anything.

A full class lineup is one of the widest designs a series can have. It needs XL, 15.7″ × 35.4″ (40 × 90 cm), at the least, and the keyboard will always cover a few students in the middle. If you have a favorite, look for a design where they stand at one end or along the top edge.

One Quirk per pad

The Quirks themselves make neat small designs. Uraraka's five round fingertip pads, Iida's exhaust pipes, Tokoyami's bird-like shadow, Jiro's dangling earphone jacks or Kirishima's jagged red hair and hardened fist are each recognizable on their own, without a full figure. A single Quirk motif centered on the 11.8″ × 15.7″ (30 × 40 cm) pad, slightly toward the top, stays visible while your hand rests on the mouse.

These are good choices for a shared or work desk, where a full anime illustration feels like too much. To most people, a Quirk symbol reads as an abstract shape; to a fan, it says exactly which student you would want on your team.

The teachers at U.A.

U.A.'s teachers are pro heroes too. Shota Aizawa, the tired homeroom teacher known as Eraser Head, wraps his capture weapon around his neck like a scarf and wears yellow goggles to hide his eyes when he erases a Quirk. Present Mic, with his blond pompadour and loudspeaker voice, teaches English. And Principal Nezu is a small, very intelligent animal who is happy to point out that nobody can tell whether he is a mouse, a dog or a bear.

Aizawa designs are the most muted in the series, black clothing, gray capture weapon and red eyes when his Quirk activates, and they suit a dark, practical desk. Nezu is the friendliest small-pad design the school has.

Pro heroes and the rankings

Outside the school, the pros are ranked on the Hero Billboard Chart, and the higher they climb, the bigger their costumes get. Hawks spreads a pair of huge crimson wings made of feathers he can control one by one. Mirko, the rabbit hero, fights with her legs and grins through every fight. Best Jeanist wears denim from collar to boots, and Edgeshot can fold his body as thin as paper.

Hawks in particular is a strong desk design: red feathers fanning out from the center of a long mat leave a dark gap in the middle where the keyboard sits, and the wings frame it on both sides.

The League of Villains

The villains give the series its darkest images. Tomura Shigaraki wears severed hands on his body and face and destroys anything he touches with all five fingers. Himiko Toga grins with her fangs and transforms into anyone whose blood she drinks. Dabi burns with blue flames, Twice hides under a full-face mask, and Stain, the Hero Killer, carries blades and a red scarf and inspires half the villains who follow.

Villain designs are mostly black, gray and dried red, with the occasional blue flame, and they suit a black desk, black peripherals and dim light. On a desk mat, a single villain at one end is easier to live with than a full lineup of them.

A desk for study at U.A.

For a series set in a school, My Hero Academia has a lot to offer a study desk. U.A. High's tall glass towers, the security gate known as the U.A. Barrier and the Heights Alliance dorms where Class 1-A moves in all make calm, architectural designs with no fighting in them. Deku's own habit of filling notebooks with analysis of every hero and Quirk he meets is a reminder that the series is as much about homework as heroics.

The school's motto, Plus Ultra, means going further than you think you can, and it is a good thing to have under your hands during exam season. A campus design on the TCG Mat size, 14″ × 24″ (35.5 × 61 cm), sits neatly beside a laptop and a stack of notes.

Manga pages or anime color

Horikoshi's manga art is clean, energetic and full of motion, with big sound effects and panels that burst at the edges, and he has spoken often about his love of American superhero comics. Bones' anime keeps that energy but adds a full, saturated palette and glowing effects for every Quirk.

A black-and-white manga design with screentone shading suits a minimalist desk, a white keyboard and a work setup. Anime-style designs are brighter and suit a gaming desk with RGB. Either way, the bold outlines hold up well when you look down at the mat from above.

Games and a card game

The series has its own PC games: the fighting games My Hero One's Justice, from 2018, and its 2020 sequel, and the free-to-play battle royale My Hero Ultra Rumble, from 2023. The pad suits all of them in the same way. The fabric top gives an even, controlled glide, the non-slip base keeps the mat in place during fast movement, and the stitched edges stop wear where your wrist sits.

There is also a My Hero Academia Collectible Card Game from Jasco Games. Our 14″ × 24″ (35.5 × 61 cm) size is the usual playmat size for card games, and these pads have no printed zones, so the art runs edge to edge under your cards.

Sizes for a My Hero Academia desk

Each design's product page tells you which sizes it comes in. These suit MHA art.

Setup	Size	Good for
Mouse space	S, 11.8″ × 15.7″ (30 × 40 cm)	A single Quirk motif or Nezu
Laptop or card table	TCG Mat, 14″ × 24″ (35.5 × 61 cm)	U.A. campus or a card game
Compact board	M, 11.8″ × 27.6″ (30 × 70 cm)	Hawks with his wings spread
Keyboard with mouse	XL, 15.7″ × 35.4″ (40 × 90 cm)	Class 1-A in a lineup
Deep desk	XXL, 23.6″ × 35.4″ (60 × 90 cm)	All Might's final punch
Full width	4XL, 23.6″ × 47.2″ (60 × 120 cm)	Heroes at one end, villains at the other

The L, 11.8″ × 31.5″ (30 × 80 cm), and the 3XL, 19.7″ × 39.4″ (50 × 100 cm), round out the range for desks that are long but not very deep.

Gifts for MHA fans

A My Hero Academia pad suits a teenager who started the anime at school, a fan who read the manga to its last chapter or anyone who still says Plus Ultra before an exam. If you know their favorite student, Bakugo and Todoroki have their own pages; if you don't, Deku's green or All Might's grin is a safe choice. For an unknown desk, XL is the dependable size, wide enough for a full keyboard and a mouse on most surfaces.

Each pad takes 1–3 business days to make before it ships from Turkey, and US orders generally arrive 2–5 business days after dispatch.

Keeping hero colors bright

Bright greens, reds and yellows show skin oil and dust sooner than dark designs, mostly in the patch under your wrist. A weekly wipe with a damp cloth keeps it under control. For a deeper clean, wash the pad by hand in lukewarm water with a mild soap, rinse until the water runs clear, squeeze the water out by pressing it inside a towel and let it dry lying flat. It shouldn't go in a washing machine or a dryer, and it should never be ironed.
