TodoKiri

TodoKiri is the slash ship between Eijiro Kirishima and Shoto Todoroki from the My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
Shoto and Eijiro are both members of Class 1-A at UA High School. Both help Toshinori Yagi fight the Nomu at the USJ, although they do not work directly together. Later, they both make it to the second round of the Sports Festival, with Shoto leading his own team and Eijiro joining Katsuki Bakugou's team. They move onto the third round of games, and Shoto inevitably places second in the overall festival. Their first significant interaction occurs after the attack on the forest training camp. Both Shoto and Eijiro are carrying a heavy sense of guilt for being unable to save Katsuki; Shoto because he was there, and Eijiro because he wasn't. They run into each other at the hospital on their way to visit their injured classmates, and overhear Momo Yaoyorozu explain that she put a tracking device on one of the Nomu. Shoto and Eijiro both agree that they can't simply sit by while Katsuki is kidnapped, and bring the idea of rescuing him themselves up to their classmates. While a number of their classmates disagree with their plan, Shoto and Eijiro are not bothered by this. They tell Izuku Midoriya that they will head out that evening, if he chooses to join them.

Eventually, Izuku, Momo, and Tenya Iida join Shoto and Eijiro on their mission. They stop by a clothing store on their way to seek out the League of Villains, where each member of the Bakugou Rescue Squad get into disguises. When they leave, Shoto asks Momo why she couldn't have used her Quirk to create their outfits. Eijiro mutters that Momo probably just wanted to go shopping. When the group finally track down Katsuki, Shoto uses his Ice power to launch Eijiro, Tenya, and Izuku into the air to rescue Katsuki.

After failing the Provisional Licensing Exam, Shoto apologizes to the entire class. Eijiro reassures him that they aren't in a contest with Class 1-B and he has nothing to apologize for. During the UA School Festival, Eijiro and Shoto are assigned to the Stage Crew team. During their musical performance, Shoto creates a block of ice and Eijiro uses his Hardening Quirk to chip away at the ice. When Shoto sees Enji Todoroki on television fighting a Nomu a few weeks later, Eijiro is one of the students who tries to help comfort him.

Prior to the Final War, Eijiro joins Katsuki and Tenya in Shoto's room. They help comfort him about the news of his brother being a villain, and while Eijiro does not speak his mere presence suggests that the two have become close friends.

My Hero Academia: Two Heroes
Eijiro and Shoto are both invited to the I-Island Expo, Eijiro as Katsuki's guest and Shoto as a representative for his father, the #2 Pro-Hero. They end up fighting alongside each other during the I-Island Incident. Katsuki and Eijiro got lost on their way to a party, and so they are unaware of the presence of villains. Shoto helps to defend them against the villains using a wall of ice, and together the three help to subdue the villains. They are both later seen hanging out with the rest of their class at a barbecue.

Fanon
TodoKiri is a relatively popular pairing in the My Hero Academia fandom. They are often paired in a polycule with Katsuki and Izuku, or simply paired opposite BakuDeku in fanworks. Despite its popularity on sites like AO3 and Tumblr, many would still consider the ship to be a "rarepair" as it is the least popular monogamous ship configuration out of the TodoBakuKiriDeku polycule.

Fans of this ship enjoy the idea of the two characters being opposites. While Eijiro is optimistic and loud, Shoto is more quiet and reserved. They are also both seen as being "himbos" by the fandom, although for different reasons; Eijiro is seen as stereotypical jock himbo, while Shoto is the sort of himbo that takes everything literally. This dynamic can create fun (and oftentimes humorous) scenarios between the two characters. Fans of TodoKiri like the idea of Eijiro helping Shoto to work through his childhood trauma, being a comforting presence in his life much like he is in Katsuki's life.

Eijiro and Shoto both being members of the Bakugou Rescue Squad helps to boost people's interest in them, and is likely what started their shipping in the first place. Others enjoy the fact that Eijiro is a member of the Bakusquad and Shoto is a member of the Dekusquad as pairing them together gives them a perfect excuse to bridge the two fanon cliques.

On AO3, TodoKiri currently has over 1000 works.
