IzuMina

IzuMina is the het ship between Izuku Midoriya and Mina Ashido from the My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
Izuku and Mina have only a few canon interaction with each other, but their interactions are always quite friendly. Mina likes teasing Izuku on his muttering, though she never shows actual annoyance on it. Their friendship is shown on a deeper light during the school festival arc. Izuku was impressed by Mina's dancing skills. So he asked her whether she could teach him how to dance. Mina agreed to teach him enthusiastically. Despite Izuku being bad at dancing, they had a good time together. In Izuku's fight against Gentle Criminal, he used Mina's dance steps during fighting, and also internally thanked her for his success.

Izuku and Mina were in the same team during the match against Class 1-B. Mina is shown to have concern for Izuku while asking him whether his quirk was acting strange. Izuku's team was stressed about the match, but he encouraged them greatly, and Mina was shown to have confidence in each other's powers. They were shown to fight together with co-ordination, and had good teamwork skills.

In Kirishima's flashback, Mina had a moment where she ran right into a seemingly dangerous situation to protect her friends, which is quite similar to Izuku running in to save Bakugou in the beginning of My Hero Academia. They both were scared during those situations, but still didn't hesitate to help their friends. They both are characters who have heroic personalities.

Mina and Izuku have confidence and mutual respect for each other. There are multiple instances showing their friendship. Despite having limited screen time, it's clear that their relationship is positive.

Moments

 * When Izuku was fighting against Class 1-A, Mina begged him to come back to the U.A. so that they could have classes together again. She didn't want to lose anyone anymore.

Fanon
IzuMina is a rare-pair within the My Hero Academia fandom. Fans prefer more popular pairings with Izuku and Mina, such as, IzuOcha, BakuDeku, TodoDeku, KiriMina, MinaOcha, and a few other ships. The ship is not completely without support though. Despite IzuMina's 'rare-pair' status, the ship has a decent amount of fanfictions on AO3, in fact it is even Mina's 3th most written ship on AO3. There are also people who ship IzuMina platonically, and just appreciate the friendship between the two. IzuMina, despite being a rare pair, is still a well received ship in the fandom.
