ShoJirou

ShoJirou is the het ship between Mezo Shoji and Kyoka Jirou from the My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
Mezo and Kyoka are both members of Class 1-A at UA High School. They have similar special abilities, both able to enhance their hearing using their respective Quirks. Alongside Kouji Kouda, they are often times put into "reconnaissance" roles when performing missions. They have been shown to use their abilities together on multiple occasions. While attending the summer training camp, Mezo and Kyoka use their hearing to find the location of the mud monsters. While performing a practice mission in the winter semester, they are seen using their Quirks (alongside Kouji) to assess the area damage.

While performing their Provisional Licensing Exam, Mezo and Kyoka find themselves trapped with Momo Yaoyorozu and Tsuyu Asui by the students of Seiai Academy. The Seiai students, already knowing of Kyoka's Quirk, play loud music while her Earphone Jack is plugged into the wall. She is hurt from the sound, but Mezo carries on trying to assess the situation with his tentacle ears. Eventually, Kyoka, Mezo, Momo, and Tsuyu come together to defeat the students of Seiai. All four of them successfully pass the exam.

During their Work studies, Kyoka and Mezo both choose to work under Gang Orca. They are recruited by him onto his baseball team, playing against Shishido and other UA students. While Kyoka and Mezo both due their best, lasting much longer than many of the other students, Kyoka ultimately grows uneasy with how seriously everyone is taking the game. Mezo tells her she shouldn't need to keep playing, and suggests that she fake a faint. Kyoka does so, and Mezo kneels down to check on her to really sell the moment.

During the Paranormal Liberation War, Kyoka and Mezo work together on reconnaissance and search techniques. They help Momo anticipate the arrival of Gigantomachia so that she can carry out her plan.

Fanon
As with most ships that involve Mezo, ShoJirou is considered a rarepair in the fandom. It is currently more popular as a platonic ship than a romantic one, but even then it is not well known by the fandom. The ship likely sailed as a result of Kyoka and Mezo working together at the same agency. As Mezo is a character without much screentime, Kyoka is one of the characters he shares the most interactions with. They are rivalled by TokoShoji for Mezo, and KamiJirou and MomoJirou for Kyoka.

There are currently 10 romantic works for this pairing and over 20 platonic works for this pairing on AO3.
