IzuOcha

IzuOcha is the het ship between Izuku Midoriya and Ochaco Uraraka from the My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
Ochaco was the first new person Izuku interacted with when he first came to U.A. High. Izuku has a great friendship and camaraderie with Ochaco; they get along very well and their discussions are always bright and friendly. Ochaco was the one that turned his once demeaning nickname "Deku" into a positive identity for him, when she said it gave her a "never gives up" vibe, and he uses it as his Hero name.

It is confirmed that Ochaco has feelings for Izuku in season 3. Her feelings are more complex than just romantic attraction. She also has a deep admiration for him, and is simultaneously trying to become a hero herself. She eventually finds herself needing to put her feelings away for the time being to stay focused. However, these feelings resurface later in the manga proving that they still exist.

On Izuku's side, much less is known. He has shown embarrassed attraction towards Ochaco multiple times. However, it is unknown if Izuku has a crush on Ochaco or if he's interested in developing a relationship with her.

Izuku focuses on the fact that Ochaco is a girl whenever he gets embarrassed around her, indicating to the audience that he isn't used to interacting with girls. He doesn't exclusively get embarrassed about or feel attraction towards Ochaco. There are other girls as well. However, whenever he has one of these moments, Ochaco is almost always present or involved in some way.

Midoriya has great respect and a very positive opinion about Uraraka. He noticed Uraraka determination and will power, and considers her a very capable person of devising strategic plans on her own. This is how he saw through Camie when she was disguised as Uraraka during the hero license exam, because he knows that the real Uraraka is skilled hero and never jump into danger without a plan.
