Fanon
This ship isn't popular for both characters, and they rarely interact, making this ship got listed as one of the 'rare-pairs'. This ship still got outshined by other Hitoshi x Class 1-A ships such as ShinDeku. The two usually appears as platonic in fan-content that features ShinKami + MomoJirou due to Momo's closeness to Denki. Even though this is a rare-pair, the two still manages to have a small fanbase on Tumblr and have 31+ works of them on AO3. The fans of this ship likes the idea of the two of them helps each other out from their own insecurities, a sweet headcanon based on their only interaction throughout My Hero Academia. The two are potential classmates, since Hitoshi wanted to transfer to Hero Course, and since Momo is the vice-rep of the Class 1-A, many also headcanon Momo helping Hitoshi out, adaptating in the class.
