TodoChako

TodoChako is the het ship between Shoto Todoroki and Ochako Uraraka from My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
While these two haven't had many interactions in the show, the times they have been together have made this ship semi-popular. The two have very contrasting personalities. Todoroki is more introverted while Uraraka is more social. One thing they have in common is that they express their true feelings quite minimally, Uraraka smiling through nearly everything while Todoroki usually frowns.

Both had comparatively difficult childhoods. Uraraka has grown up in a poor household with a strong and healthy bond with her parents, while Todoroki has always been rich, but has grown up in an abusive household. They also seem to have rather different fathers. Ochako's father has always been supportive, loving, caring, and selfless towards Ochako's dreams, and wishing for her happiness. Shoto's father has been very violent and selfish, not caring about the wishes of his wife or son.

Todoroki and Uraraka are both good friends with Iida and Midoriya, the latter befriending them first in different times and places, with Uraraka meeting both Iida and Midoriya in the Entrace Exam which took place inside U.A and with Todoroki meeting Midoriya in the Sports Festival which one took place in the Sports Festival Stadium, and then later he would be friends with Iida after spending time with Midoriya.

At the Forest Training Camp Arc, Todoroki used his fire to help Uraraka and Ashido light a wood stove so they could cook, and it took him until Uraraka told him something for him to smile (which is something he rarely does). On the second night of the camp the Vanguard Action Squad attacks the students and, after the Bakugo Escort Squad meets Uraraka and Asui in the forest, Todoroki entrusted Uraraka with the safety of the unconscious Kosei Tsuburaba, he most likely took into account that her Quirk would make it easy.

Before the provisional license exam, class 1-A holds a room contest after their move to Heights Alliance, Ochako is astonished as his classmates by the Japanese style of Shoto's room and is shocked next to Izuku when he responds which remodeled the room with worked hard. After finishing the contest, Shoto wants to go to his room, but Ochako stops him and takes him and the rest of the Bakugou Rescue Squad out of the building to talk to Tsuyu.

In the Paranormal Liberation War, both are on the Evacuation Team to evacuate and protect civilians and are the ones who show the most concern when Izuku and Katsuki leave the group to join the Heroes' battle against Tomura. When Ochako is giving his speech for the civilians to let Izuku enter U.A. after the disaster of the war, Shoto was shown listening intently to his speech along with Endeavor and Hawks.

Movies
In the first My Hero Academia: Two Heroes movie, Ochako was about to be attacked by I-Island's security bots when Shoto and Katsuki save her, and Shoto had taken the time to get by her side before the fight by All Might and Wolfram. In the second movie My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising, Ochako and Shoto were commonly shown side by side after Izuku and Katsuki ended up unconscious in their first fight against Nine and when Class 1-A was leaving Nabu Island.

Fanon
TodoChako is seen as a rarepair in the fandom, although fans appreciate their interactions and see their interactions as a more friendly-like relationship. Fans nonetheless ship them romantically. In 2018, Shoto Todoroki and Ochako Uraraka officially won Best boy and Best girl on the Crunchyroll anime award show. This made a lot of fans ship this adorable pair even more.

The creator of the Todochako/Shouchako ship was by made the tumblr user called "Frozen-Gravity" in 2016, and after that the ship shown great progress.

Official reports have shown that Shoto Todoroki and Ochako Uraraka are both born under the Zodiac Sign, Capricorn.
