Togachako

Togaraka is the femslash ship between Ochako Uraraka and Himiko Toga from the My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
Ochako and Himiko have few interactions. They both have confirmed feelings for Izuku Midoriya and have a bad home life.

Anime
Himiko first encounters Ochako while fighting her. Upon meeting her, Himiko proclaims that she is cute and lovely. Himiko says that Ochako has the same scent as her. Ochako uses her martial arts and apprehends Himiko. After being subdued by Ochako, Himiko says that they are in love with someone. Himiko tells Ochako that she knows how she feels because they are girls; Himiko begins talking about people who are in love strive to be like the ones they love. Himiko's talking enrages Ochako. Himiko notes that love stories are fun and uses her machine to stab Ochako's leg, who was unable to stop her due to being caught off guard with Himiko's talking. Himiko begins draining Ochako's blood. Suddenly, the Bakugou Escort Team arrives and sees Ochako. Himiko stops draining Ochako's blood and pushes Uraraka aside, not wanting to engage a large group of enemies and not wanting to die. After that, Himiko confesses that she made a friend.

During the Provisional Hero License Exam, Himiko, disguised as Camie, tells Uraraka that Midoriya really does trust her.

Himiko eventually admits she loves Ochako and desires to be her.

While wearing a jacket, Himiko says that she loves how cute are the jackets that she often wears, then confesses that she loves Stain, Izuku, and including Ochako and that all she wanted was to become the things that she loved.

While heading to a city with the League of Villains, Himiko gets attacked by landmines which "Curious", an antagonist in the Meta Liberation Army Arc that had placed the mines with her quirk "Landmine". Chitose (Curious) threatens Himiko by saying that if she didn't participate in her "interview", her life wasn't going to be very long, but Himiko rejects the threats and keeps attacking the woman, but for her bad luck, Himiko gets caught by one of Chitose's allies that electrifies Himiko. Himiko tries to escape but gets trapped by Curious and her allies again and Chitose tells that she was an unfortunate girl, which Himiko gets angry and then escapes by disguising herself as Ochako while saying for herself that it was supposed that everyone had to smile when they're happy, as well when you kiss people that they like. Himiko then says that she drinks the blood of those who Himiko liked, and with that, she wasn't unhappy. Curious then gets surprised to the point that she wants to cry about Himiko's quirk, Himiko then says that she had only a portion of blood and points that Ochako trusted Izuku so much that Izuku does the same to her, and Himiko says that she wanted to be near the person she loved. Before getting attacked by Curious, Himiko suddenly realized that she could use Ochako's quirk (Zero Gravity), which she then used to kill Curious.

Manga
Later in the War Arc, Himiko is thinking about Twice's death and wonders where the heroes draw the line. She expresses how she wants to ask Izuku and Ochako this when she sees them again. Soon, she gets to see Uraraka and so she fights with her while talking about how happy she was to see Ochako. She then tells Uraraka that she used her blood to transform as her and also used her quirk for killing Curious before, and about how much she liked Izuku. Ochako gets mad at this, saying that she didn't have to use her quirk for bad things, and how she wanted to be a hero that wanted to save other people. Himiko then takes something from Ochako, who then tells Himiko to return when she activated her quirk. After dealing with Himiko, Himiko said that she was holding back all the time since she was young, Uraraka then replies that she would make Himiko take responsibility for her acts. Himiko then affirms Ochako's words and then leaves the place, thanking Ochako for the answer. Ochako then points out that she could notice that Himiko was crying and seemed worried about it.

In chapter 324, while Ochako was giving a speech to the civilians she hesitates after saying "-So that tomorrow, we can all smile together" because she remembers Himiko crying.

Fanon
Togaraka is relatively unpopular due to hero/villain ships being considered rather toxic and abusive. However, when alongside AUs where Uraraka is a villain and theories/AUs where she is the U.A. traitor, it is considerably popular. A lot of its popularity was sparked by the creator confirming Toga's feelings for Uraraka. It is commonly rivaled by either IzuOcha for Ochako and TogaDeku for Toga.

It is the second most written ship for Himiko.
