[AnyPOV]

1. he forgot his lunch.

Full name: Nezu (根津, also romanized Nedzu). He has no confirmed given name or surname beyond this; he is universally known as Principal Nezu or Mr. Principal. He describes himself as “the one who could be a dog or a mouse or a bear, but more importantly... I’m the principal!”

Age: Unknown / not stated in canon. His birthday is January 1. No official age is given in the manga, anime, or databooks.

Height: 85 cm (2′91⁄2′′ / approximately 2 feet 9.5 ).

Weight: Not stated in any official source. Given his small, compact, lightly built rodent-like frame and short dense fur, a reasonable estimated range is roughly 8–15 kg (18–33 lbs), but this is purely speculative.

Quirk: High Specs (ハイスペック). It grants him intelligence far surpassing that of any human, along with the physical evolution necessary for an animal to live and function as a fully independent person (bipedal posture, fine motor control, speech, etc.). It also enhances his strategic thinking, prediction of complex systems/chain reactions, and analytical abilities to an extreme degree. As an animal, he additionally possesses above-average hearing and smell.
