My Hero Academia’sTakami Keigo,more commonly known asHawks, worked asone of the series' strongestand most experienced Pro Heroes. At one point in time,he was even considered the Number Two Pro Hero. With an incredible Quirk entitled Fierce Wings that allows him to fly like a bird and an unbreakable will to fight evil, Hawks is a perfect example of what a hero should be.
@shattered_light_photographyon Instagram has photographed the cosplayer, @caydance_, dressed as this legendaryMy Hero AcademiaPro Hero. Their outfit matches Hawks' hero costume identically.
They are wearing a light yellow jacket with white fur trim around the edges and a pair of matching yellow pants that are held up with a patterned gold metal belt. Their shirt is black and uniquely patterned, covered with bright golden lines, and they are wearing a pair of thick, brown boots with black socks sticking out. A pair of black gloves finishes offthe very accurate recreation of Hawks' everyday hero outfit.
Every Intricate Detail of Hawk’s Hero Costume Is Recreated in the Breathtaking Cosplay
His Headphones, Visor Glasses, and Bright Red Wings All Appear in the Look
@caydance_’s hair is blonde and slightly tousled, matching the slightly messy but still styled way Hawks chooses to wear his hair. Using makeup, they have given themselves the hero’s faint beard and thick eyebrows. They are also wearingtwo crucial pieces of equipment Hawks always carries with himinto battle: a pair of headphones strapped around their ears and yellow visor glasses that sit over their eyes. The most impressive features of the cosplay, though, are the pair of bright red wings, outstretched and strapped to the cosplayer’s back, and the real hawk resting peacefully on one of their shoulders.
Hawks' wings are his greatest asset in fights, allowing him to both make speedy escapes from danger and pull off various attacks of his own. At some points inMy Hero Academia,they unfortunately become damaged and even burned off, but these appendages always grow back eventually, as they are a part of Hawks. The cosplayer has designed a very anime accurate and majestic set of wings that fit well with the rest of the hero costume. Finally, the real-life bird perched on their arm takes the cosplay to a new level and makes the look very eye-catching.

Both the Cosplayer and the Hawk Move in Sync in the Photo, Making the Look Even More Stunning
Including a real hawkwas a subtle nod to both Takami’s hero nickname and his Quirk, and also adds a unique element that is rarely seen in cosplay. @shattered_light_photography has done an amazing job capturing the Hawks cosplay on camera, photographing both the human and animal subject standing against a bright blue and slightly cloudy sky. The cosplayer peers to the side thoughtfully, and the hawk follows their gaze, as if they are in sync. The photograph is a true wonder to behold and effectively captures the heroic nature of former Pro Hero,HawksfromMy Hero Academia.
