Our My Hero Academia Inspired Workouts Database is one of the biggest mini-databases on the entire site, and it is getting another awesome character today: Mashirao Ojiro!
The Martial Arts Hero, with his Quirk: Tail, is lean and toned, agile and all around awesome.
With the amount of incredible My Hero Academia characters it is hard to prioritize all of them ahead of the endless requests we get daily, but I decided it has been far long enough and it’s time to bring Ojiro into our Anime Workouts Database.
We will be building this one out around bodyweight training, so don’t worry if you don’t have weights to work with; we’re sticking to calisthenics training.
Mashirao Ojiro Stats:
Real Name: Mashirao Ojiro
Height: 5’6 1/2
Weight: N/A
Anime: My Hero Academia
Powers: Yes
Mashirao Ojiro is right around average height compared to male anime characters we’ve seen at SHJ.
That range is a much shorter range compared to male superheroes and celebrities, but it is slowly growing as we bring in more characters.
Wolverine was the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, prior to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming in at 5’2, (and Gimli even shorter) – but Damian Wayne (Robin) is only 5’4. Goku isn’t that tall either, though, standing only 5’7, with Miles Morales only an inch above him.
One Punch Man falls in at 5’9 right there with Ryu, Nightwing at 5’10, and then Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.
We’ve had Superman and Eddie Brock’s Venom at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, and Carnage at 6’1. Thor and Cyborg are towering over them at 6’6, Thanos and King right there with them at 6’7, Bane at 6’8, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5, and Black Manta at 6’4.
Ronan and Sagat are 7’5, and Doomsday came in at 8’10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.
But, don’t worry if you’re not the same height or weight range.
We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

Mashirao Ojiro Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero.**
Every hero needs to still have a good diet.
Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.
You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.
You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.
Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.
It’s all about sustainability.
AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.
Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!
Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

Mashirao Ojiro Workout Routine Research
We’ve made it to “the fun part”.
And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.
To learn more about Mashirao Ojiro we’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page, starting with his brief bio section here:
Mashirao Ojiro, also known as the Martial Arts Hero: Tailman, is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.
We’re used to getting super short bio sections for MHA characters at this point, but we’ll be breaking it down a bit more as we work our way into discussing what we will be building this workout around.
For example, here is how they describe his appearance:
Mashirao is a young man of muscular build and has short blond hair swept to the front of his head. He has thin eyes with no lower eyelashes. Unlike the other students in his class, he wears pale gray sneakers with his school uniform instead of the brown dress shoes worn by everyone else, and the bottom button of his blazer he leaves casually undone. Due to his Quirk, he also has a tail, which is completely hairless, save for the tip.
Mashirao Ojiro’s muscular build will be part of what we’re aiming for with this one.
When they move down into his abilities section they begin by giving us an extremely long section about his overall abilities before even making their way into his Quirk.
Here’s how they break it down:
Overall Abilities: Mashirao has proven himself to be a highly capable combatant in terms of physical abilities. His skills allowed him to earn 7th place in the Quirk Apprehension Test. Mashirao uses his Quirk, Tail, to either deliver direct attacks or assist his movements in battle. His fighting style involves combining his prehensile tail with his knowledge of martial arts to engage enemies in close-range combat, performing fast and acrobatic techniques. Tail plays a vital role in Mashirao’s speed and mobility, as he can boost himself in the air by slapping his tail on the ground with sufficient force, giving him a method to bypass obstacles on the ground. However, Ectoplasm noted that, in spite of the tailed hero’s combat efficiency, Mashirao fights predictably, as tailed humans like him tend to move in a pattern that can be easily exploited. To eliminate this factor, Mashirao improved the fundamentals of his movements to become less predictable in combat.
At the U.S.J., Mashirao was more than capable of singlehandedly defeating multiple low-tier members of the League of Villains. During the third match of the Joint Training Battle, Mashirao temporarily held his own against Sen Kaibara but was nearly overwhelmed by the latter’s onslaught, had it not been for the timely arrival of Tenya Ida. Even after receiving minor injuries from his bout with Sen, Mashirao was able to successfully ambush Pony Tsunotori, the fastest student in Class 1-B, before Juzo Honenuki arrived to liquefy the ground underneath the pair and Mezo Shoji. But after Mezo freed himself, Mashirao, and Pony from the softened ground, Mashirao was blindsided and swiftly captured by the restrained Pony. His abilities eventually garnered the attention of Shishido, giving Mashirao the opportunity to intern under the No. 13 Pro Hero, and improve on his flurry of attacks and the ability to read ahead of situations.
On Nabu Island, Mashirao had the mettle to be the first of his class to take on the powerful villain, Chimera, before being aided by Fumikage Tokoyami. After Fumikage left, Mashirao, despite the odds, was able to ward off Chojuro for an extended period of time until Fumikage returned with reinforcements, at which point, the Martial Arts Hero was soundly surmounted by the beastly villain. The next day, Mashirao, along with Kyoka Jiro, acted as the fourth line of defense against Nine, and effectively ambushed him before he subdued the two with his Hydra Quirk. Soon after, Mashirao and Kyoka aided Mezo against the powerful foe, forcing Nine into using the full power of his Air Wall Quirk to defeat the trio of students.
Mashirao Ojiro is “The Martial Arts Hero”, but what we’ll be mainly training around is his acrobatic abilities, speed, strength and aesthetic (minus the tail).
When we keep moving into his abilities the next big point I want to discuss is his actual Quirk: Tail.
Here’s what his Fandom page discusses:
Tail: Mashirao’s Quirk is that he has a long, powerful, sturdy tail. His tail effectively functions as a third arm that he can use to grab things. Furthermore, it’s long and strong enough to break objects made of metal, wrap around enemies, and support Mashirao’s body weight.
He is incredibly adept at using his tail, combining it with his knowledge of martial arts to engage enemies in close-range combat, performing fast and acrobatic moves. His tail can also be used to increase his speed and mobility by whipping it down against the ground so as to use it like a springboard.
Since we won’t be growing a tail any time soon (hopefully), we won’t necessarily be using this information all that much within our build – but it is only fair to break down Mashirao’s full background.
That means the goals for our Mashirao Ojiro Inspired Workout are:
- Mashirao Ojiro’s Lean and Toned Physique
- Mashirao Ojiro’s Acrobatic Abilities
- Mashirao Ojiro’s Strength, Speed & Endurance
As I mentioned earlier, this one is going to fall within our calisthenics workouts – making it match perfectly with Ojiro’s acrobatic skills.
Ojiro’s abilities will also give us a good excuse to bring in some of our gymnast training that we’ve researched here at SHJ.
That might step up the difficulty of this routine a bit, but you can cut sections out and scale it down a bit if you need – and, alternatively, you can even choose to start with one of our Beginner Workouts (the Beginner Ninja Workout being the calisthenics variation).

Mashirao Ojiro Workout Routine
Training Volume:
3-5 days per week
Explanation:
For this one we’re going to be working around 3 days of high volume calisthenics and acrobat training, mixing in what we’ve learned from research on actual Olympic level gymnasts and even acrobats, and then we’ll also have a day devoted to hero endurance and one final day for you to test your skills either weekly or biweekly on a Class 1-A Circuit Test (which will also be sticking to calisthenics and endurance work).
The Superhero Academy now comes with an Upgrade Your Workout Tool that allows Academy members to turn any SHJ workout into a 4-8 week fully planned regime detailing exact weights to lift and including reverse & traditional pyramid training, straight sets, super sets, progressive overload and more.
