If you ask some fans, waifus are the heart of an anime. And for a shounen giant like My Hero Academia, there are plenty of anime waifus around. But the special thing about it is that My Hero Academia waifus are not only pretty to look at, but also well-developed in their character writing.
This is why the female characters of the series are so popular among fans. And this is also why we’ll be ranking the 20 best My Hero Academia waifus in this article.

Female Pro Heroes are some of the best characters to follow in the story. Not only are they powerful and cool, but they are also inspirational. One of the best female Pro Heroes in the series is Ryukyu who mentors Nejiro, Ochako and Tsuyu.
Strong, calm and determined, she’s not just a hell of a Hero, but also one of the best My Hero Academia waifus. Her role during the battle against Shie Hassaikai cements it clearly.
19) Mitsuki Bakugo
| Name | Mitsuki Bakugo |
| Quirk | Glycerin |
| Hair Color | Ash blonde |
| Eye Color | Red |

It was quite difficult to imagine what kind of parents Bakugo has. But when they are finally introduced, fans are left with their mouths hanging open. Not only is Bakugo’s dad a complete opposite of him, but his mother is smoking hot.

And because of this darkness, she makes her place in the waifu list of many anime fans. But Toga is not just unstable, she’s also powerful and genuinely cares for her friends.

| Name | Fuyumi Todoroki |
| Quirk | Frost |
| Hair Color | White with crimson streaks |

The history and dynamic of the Todoroki family is one of the most heartbreaking parts of the series. While all the Todoroki children bear trauma from their childhood and Endeavor’s treatment of them, none of them bears it as gracefully as Fuyumi.

| Quirk | Acid |
| Hair Color | Pink |

But the most eye-catching thing about Mina has to be her unique appearance. It’s as if she was born to be under the spotlight at all times.

It’s all thanks to her vibrantly fun personality, not to mention her Quirk making Todoroki and Bakugo all princely.
