IidaOcha

IidaOcha is the het ship between Tenya Iida and Ochako Uraraka from the My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
Iida and Uraraka met during the U.A. Entrance Exam and became good friends partially thanks to Izuku. Tenya and Ochako have different personalities, yet they get along very well despite that. They both care about each other and when one of them gets harmed, their thoughts are preoccupied by that. They trust each other and work together very well, having each other's back in battles.

Tenya, along with Izuku praises Ochako's motive to become a hero, even if it is about money. After the two voted Izuku to become their class's president and were having lunch together, Ochako could tell from their shared conversation that Tenya is from a wealthy family and asks him if it is so. Even though Tenya tries to hide that part of himself, he does confirm Ochako's question as he explains his family's heroic reputation and how it was his brother who inspired him to become a hero. Just as the love Ochako has for her family inspired her to become one as well. Soon after the school's students were informed that there has been a security breech, Tenya notice that the said breech were the press corps and asks Ochako to help him float in order to clam the large number of panicked students. Tenya and Ochako's combined teamwork later led to Tenya becoming their class's president.

The next day, Tenya, Ochako and the rest of their class were brought to the Unforeseen Simulation Join for field experience training, but their class gets interrupted by an army of supervillains. Tenya and Ochako were able to stay together with Thirteen next to the exit, while the rest of their classmates were scattered all around the simulation, along with a supervillain making sure that their group doesn't escape. Because Iida's Quirk makes him the fastest in their small group, Ochako gives Iida her support for when Thirteen creates a window for him to fetch help from. Even though Iida's role as class president had him not wanting to leave Ochako and the others to the villains, he agrees to do it when Ochako remind him of his actions at the cafeteria. As Iida made his way to the exit, Ochako helped to ensure that the shadow villain doesn't stop her friend from leaving. Iida later returned with the teachers as promised and even though they got the villains to retreat, Iida, Ochako and the rest of class 1-A were still shaken from the incident.

Fanon
IidaOcha is relatively small compared to other ships, such as IzuOcha or Kacchako. Yet, it's still one of the most popular ships for Iida. It is often liked by those who ship TodoDeku, as they are both part of the Dekusquad. Works of these two often portray them as friends to lovers, spending so much time together both with and without Izuku that they end up developing romantic feelings for each other.

Variations

 * Dekusquad refers to the ship between Izuku Midoriya, Tenya Iida, Ochako Uraraka, Tsuyu Asui and Shoto Todoroki
 * IiTsuChako refers to the ship between Tenya Iida, Tsuyu Asui and Ochako Uraraka

Trivia

 * Although potentially a translation error, Ochako is the only student to call Tenya by his first name in the English dub, doing so frequently. Similarly, Tenya refers to Ochako as 'Uraraka-kun' in Japanese, instead of the more respectful 'Uraraka-san' used by others like Izuku, both of these showcasing their closeness to each other.
