IidaKendo

Iikendo is the het ship between Itsuka Kendo and Tenya Iida from the My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
Itsuka and Tenya are both students at UA High School. Tenya is in Class 1-A and Itsuka is in Class 1-B. They are both the elected Class Representatives of their respective classrooms. Itsuka and Tenya are not known to share very much screentime together. During the Final Exams arc, Itsuka is seen showing concern for Tenya regarding what he, Izuku Midoriya, and Shoto Todoroki experienced with Stain. They are seen together again as their classes compete in the Joint Training exercise, but they do not share any scenes.

In the light novel School Briefs II, the girls from Class 1-A and 1-B get together for a sleepover. They end up discussing which boys in their classes would make for the best boyfriends. Tenya's name is brought up, but is quickly dismissed as being too "serious". Itsuka agrees with her classmates on this. In School Briefs V, Tenya and Itsuka share a brief scene with Neito Monoma. When the two classes come together for a Christmas party to share hot pot, Neito suggests they make a competition out of it. Tenya asks why they must do that, rather than just enjoy each other's company, and Itsuka chops Neito's neck.

Although the two do not share very many scenes together, they do have a lot in common. As both are the named Class Rep's of their respective classrooms they are both seen as very capable leaders. They are both looked upon by their other classmates for guidance, and take their roles very seriously. Although Itsuka is more laidback than Tenya is, she still appears to be serious about her classes and studies.

Fanon
IiKendo is considered a rarepair in the fandom. As the two characters hardly interact in canon, it has very few fans. The ship likely sailed as a result of both characters being class reps, and is seen as an alternative to IidaMomo. Both characters come from different classes, so that may appeal to fans as well. Iikendo currently has over 15 works on AO3.
