Deku and Ochako first met at the entrance exam to enrol at U.A. High School. The two have since become close friends and class-mates and have developed deep admiration and respect for each other. They also appear to have feelings for one another, with Ochako being very apparent about her feelings whilst Deku is a little more subtle.
Ochaco was the first new person Izuku interacted with when he first came to U.A. High. He met her for the first time when they were both about to take the entrance exam to get into U.A. While lost in thought, Deku accidentally trips on his shoelace and begins to fall as he heads towards the auditorium. Luckily, Ochaco uses her quirk to catch him, saying that it would be a bad omen for him to fall. After Ochaco leaves, Deku gets excited that he just talked to a girl, even though he hadn't actually said anything during their exchange.
 
   
  +
They are both very similar in nature. They are kind, polite and can be easily overwhelmed. As such, the two get on very well and have developed a high amount of respect for each other. Ochako admires Deku’s determination to help others and sees it as a true quality to be a hero. She has taken great inspiration from Deku and wishes to become more like him, such as during her match with Bakugo, and uses him as a key drive for her to become a hero. This resulted in her trying to play a key role in getting him admitted into the school by giving up some of her own points she scored in the exam to Deku so he would pass. Such is her admiration, she even voted for him to be class president. Later, during the Hero Licence Exam, she is awestruck by Deku’s performance in saving a mock civilian. Deku admires how much hard work she puts in to become stronger and overcome the difficult challenges she faces. After she had been defeated by Bakugo in the tournament, he stood up for her to his long time bully and explained that Ochako giving him a difficult time in their match was of her own ability and not because he had helped her. He also praised her for her clever idea in the Cavalry Battle, but only to himself.
Just before the test Deku sees Ochaco internally preparing for the exam. He wants to thank her for catching him, but Iida talks him out of it. At the end of the exam, a giant, rampaging robot threatens the students. It is meant to be a very dangerous obstacle the students are supposed to avoid during the exam. It isn't worth any points and all of the students are told they won't get anything for destroying it. All of the students run away except Deku, who sees Ochaco helplessly on the ground about to be crushed by the robot.

Even though Deku is absolutely terrified and has no idea how to use his quirk, he heroically leaps into the air and sends a full powered smash at the robot, completely destroying it and saving Ochaco. In doing so, Deku broke both his legs and his right arm. He aimlessly begins to fall to the ground, and Ochaco is there to catch him again.
 
   
  +
They are often concerned for one another and will try to protect each other. Shortly after they first met, Deku, with little to no experience using his new found powers, chose to save her when she was stuck to the ground and about to be trampled by a giant robot during the entrance exam. Ochako then saved a falling and severely injured Deku using her powers. Deku also wished to aid her in her upcoming fight against Bakugo, as he fully understands his strength and weaknesses, but Ochako declines his help as she wishes to win on her own merit, something Deku admires. Following her defeat to Bakugo, he goes to check on her to see how she is doing and is pleasantly surprised that she is taking the loss well. However, he soon after overhears her breaking down in tears on the phone to her parents because she lost and Deku, himself, tears up at the anguish she is feeling. After her encounter with Toga, Deku finds her and the two exchange concerns for each other’s well-being before he asks her to join him as they escort Bakugo. Ochako was notably horrified when Sir Nighteye told her that Overhaul would try to kill Deku and was frustrated she could not help him. When he loses control of his Black Whip quirk Ochako leaps towards Deku and hugs him to try and calm him down. She then tells Hitoshi Shinso to brainwash him so he can regain control. After she wakes him up they share a brief moment before they are forced to continue with their joint training session.
Afterwards, Deku feels like he's pathetic, like he completely screwed up and didn't do what he needed to do in order to become a hero. However, in a video message from All Might regarding his admission to UA, he plays a tape of Ochaco going up to the teachers and asking if she could give Deku some of her points. Ochaco really appreciates that he saved her life and feels bad about Deku not earning any points during the exam. Present Mic tells her that there's no need because they both were awarded a large amount of rescue points for their heroic efforts. They both were admitted to UA for their acts of bravery.

[[File:Ochako.png|left|thumb|213x213px|Ochako blushes after she sees Deku training outside her window.]]
Izuku begins to develop a great friendship and camaraderie with Ochaco at UA. At first, it's hard for Deku to talk to her and he gets flustered around her a lot (like when she changed into her skin-tight hero suit for the first time). 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. Over time, Deku gets more comfortable interacting with Ochaco without getting flustered. Their discussions are generally very bright and friendly.
 
   
  +
It becomes apparent early on that Deku is attracted to Ochako. He sometimes can become flustered in her presence, especially when she talks to him. Just talking to her on the phone causes him to become overwhelmed at the experience. Furthermore, seeing her in a skin tight outfit caused him to blush. On numerous occasions, if she stands too close to him he will become nervous and flustered. Deku was also willing to let her call him “Deku”, even though it is not his real name, and was touched when she changed the meaning of this nickname, which was originally a derogative name given to him by Bakugo, to something positive. Explaining that, to her, it means he will never give up. This eventually leads to him choosing it as his hero name. Deku’s closeness to Ochako allowed him to see right through Toga’s attempt to impersonate her with her quirk, and deduced she was not the real Ochako. It seems that Minoru Mineta, a pervert, has picked up on how close Deku is with Ochako as he can be seen being devastated when the two shared a close moment.
Ochaco turns his once demeaning nickname "Deku" into a positive identity for him, when she said it gave her a "never gives up" vibe. This is because in Japanese, Deku really just refers to "the ability to do something." Bakugo uses this in a negative way to mean "useless, unable to do anything." Whereas Ochako sees this in a positive way, like "You can do it!". Deku gets flustered at Ochako's words and instinctively agrees to call himself Deku. However, later we see that he really takes her perspective to heart, and fully commits to making it his official hero identity.

During the sports festival arc in season 2, Ochako notes that Deku and Mei Hatsume are getting along well. She gets a bit jealous of Hatsume during the cavalry battle after seeing Hatsume getting praised by Deku instead of her. However, just before she gets jealous, internally Izuku was actually praising Ochaco for cleverly using her quirk to make everyone but herself weightless.
 
   
  +
Ochako, herself, is very fond of Deku and has developed sincere feelings for him. More so than anyone else, she tends to ask where he is if he isn’t around and thinks about him frequently. She can become flustered in his presence and even jealous when other girls take an interest in him, especially with Mei Hatsume, who has had close physical interactions with Deku that has left her irritated. When he praises Mei, instead of her, during the Cavalry Battle she becomes jealous, not aware that Deku actually was impressed with her performance. She also becomes upset when she overhears that Deku had apparently seen Camie naked as well and finds her feelings difficult to understand, not knowing why she feels so bad about it. Ochako also found herself feeling jealous of how much time Deku had spent with Melissa Shield. Later, she becomes embarrassed, but happy, when he compliments her dress. After Yoga had questioned her about her feelings regarding Deku, she starts to become more self-aware of them. Although, this realisation caused her to run away from Deku when she was alone with him at the mall. Even so, she tried to find him again whilst struggling to accept that she wanted to spend all day with him. Her feelings for Deku almost got the better of her during the Hero Licence Exam, as she struggled to deal with them, and has to snap herself back into focus to keep them under control, but fully accepts that she does have feelings for him.
After they move on to the sports festival tournament, Ochako has a fight coming up against Bakugo. Deku wants to help Ochako because he cares about her as a friend, so he comes up with a plan for how she could win the fight using her quirk. Ochako politely declines saying that in order to win, she can't be so dependent on others. She says it in a way that's very positive, endearing, and friendly. It shows that Ochako and Deku are strong and determined equals.
 
   
  +
[[File:Black whip.png|thumb|227x227px|Ochako hugs Deku to save him from losing control.]]
In the final moments of her fight with Bakugo, she's determined that she wants to win just like Deku did. While Bakugo and Uraraka had a good fight, her defeat was mentally and emotionally difficult. After the match, Bakugo asked Deku if he suggested Ochaco her plan to win the fight. Deku told the truth, that Ochaco had come up with her plan on her own, that the merit of her strategy was hers alone. Deku considers her a very capable person of devising strategic plans on her own.
 
   
  +
Numerous people have picked up on Ochako’s feelings for Deku, such as when she contacted him after his encounter with Killer Stain to check if he is well and gets teased by Gunhead regarding her love for him, causing her to become embarrassed and nervous. When she is questioned by Yuga if she has feelings for Deku she immediately blushes and accidentally lets go of the handrail she was holding on to. Toga, a villain, pinned Ochako down and quickly could tell that she was crushing on someone and she desires to be like that person. When they encountered each other again she tells Ochako that Deku trusts her a lot. Mina, one of their classmates, is a big supporter of Ochako’s feelings for Deku and teases her whenever the opportunity arrises. She blurts out to the other girls that Ochaco is in love which causes her to become embarrassed and accidentally makes herself float upside down. As she blushes over the reality she is in love she looks out the window to see Deku training and watches him. Mina also teased Ochako later on about how tightly she hugged Deku when he lost control of his Black Whip quirk and caused her to blush. Once more, Mina teased Ochaco over her All Might keychain that was gifted to her by Deku at Christmas. This time, however, after becoming slightly nervous, Ochako happily blushes at her comments. When the two shared a touching moment, after the join training programme, Mina becomes overjoyed for them.
Afterwards, Deku goes to see Ochaco, and surprisingly it seems like she's taking it pretty well. Deku really cares about her and asks her if she's okay. She says that she's totally fine and that she's taking it well, but really she feels sad and upset inside about what happened. Just before Deku is about to leave to face off against Todoroki, she very cheerfully wishes him good luck. This shows that she sometimes puts the emotions and feelings of others before herself. After Deku leaves the room, she receives a call from her parents and she begins to cry about her defeat. Just after leaving the room, Deku overhears her crying, and he wipes some tears from his face, feeling bad about what she must be experiencing. He really cares about her and wants the best for her.
 
[[File:Deku.png|left|thumb|220x220px]]
 
After the hero killer stain fight, Ochako is on the phone with Deku to check that everything's alright. She says that her heart was thumping like crazy when she heard what happened. Gunhead remarks about this, and asks if she's talking about love. Ochako blushes and denies this. Meanwhile, Deku is shaking at how good it feels to talk to a girl on the phone.
 
 
During the final exam arc, Aoyama asked Ochaco if she likes Deku. She blushed and lost her focus on the dangerous situation she was in. It is from this point onward that she starts to realize that her heart is feeling stirred up when thinking about Deku. At the end of the season when she was standing next to Deku at the mall, she recalled back to the moment where Aoyama asked her if she likes him, and she immediately ran away from Deku, flustered. After regaining her composure, she re-assures herself that everything's totally fine, in a comedic/exaggerated way. She refuses to acknowledge that she wanted to spend all day shopping with Deku or anything like that, but it's implied that, in her heart, she really wanted to spend time with him.
 
 
During the forest training camp arc, Ochaco and Tsuyu engage in a fight with Toga. After Ochaco pins Toga to the ground, she has a lot to say about her feelings for Deku:
 
[[File:G9BiR7n.jpg|thumb|250x250px]]
 
"Ochaco... You're a lovely one too. You've got the same scent as me. There's someone you're crushing on. And you're thinking you wanna be just like him. I can tell. One maiden to another. Of course you wanna be like the one you love. It's natural. So you end up decking yourself out to look like him. But after enough time, even that's not enough. You literally want to become him. There's no helping it. So what's your type? I love tattered guys reeking of blood. That's why I always carve people up in the end. Right, Ochaco? It's fun, right? A good romance is so much fun!"
 
 
When Deku and Ochaco see each other after her encounter with Toga, Deku tells Ochaco that she looks hurt. She doesn't want him to worry about her, so she says that she's okay. However, she also expresses the same towards Deku, that he also looks hurt. They both look after each other.
 
 
Just before the hero provisional license exam arc, Ochaco sees Deku standing in front of Hatsume's shop. As soon as Deku approaches the room, the door explodes open, and Hatsume is launched out of the room right on top of Deku. Ochaco witnesses Hatsume's entire body pressed up against Deku, her boobs resting on his chest and she looks up at his face. Ochaco looks very disturbed, and is horrified at the sight of Hatsume's boobs touching Deku. Later, Hatsume tries to get a feel for Deku's body for his new costume upgrade. She feels him up everywhere and describes that he's more ripped than he looks at first glance. Ochaco is very disturbed by this.
 
[[File:Ochako.png|left|thumb|247x247px]]
 
On one of the nights before the provisional license exam, Ochaco is sitting in the dorm with the other girls and she tells them that her heart has been stirred up lately. Mina blurts out to everyone that's it's because she's in love. Ochaco accidentally makes herself float out of embarrassment in front of her friends while simultaneously trying to deny that this is the case. She spins upside down in mid-air, heels literally over her head, and stares out the window in love-struck awe at Deku training outside.
 
 
Deku has an encounter with Toga during the hero provisional license exam. Using the blood that she acquired from Ochako, she impersonates her, making herself look and sound exactly like her, costume and everything. Deku catches Toga (who has the physical form of Ochaco) as she's falling. Just as disguised Toga is about to betray Deku and try to take him out of the contest, Deku sees right through Toga's disguise and says that the real Ochaco would have used her quirk if she were falling. Toga then transforms back into the form of Camie using her blood, so she can hold her cover. When Toga (disguised as Camie) sees Ochaco again, she tells her that Deku trusts her a lot.
 
 
After that round of the exam is over, Mineta and Kaminari interrogate Deku about the fact that they saw Camie (who was naked at one point) with him behind a rock and wanted to know everything about it. Ochaco witnesses this commotion and feels awful about it. She felt fine before the exam, but doesn't know why she's feeling so bad now. When the next round starts, she sees Deku grow a bright smile and assure a mock civilian that everything is going to be okay. As he's running off, saving the civilian, she's awestruck looking at him. She doesn't know why exactly. She knows that she thinks that Deku is really awesome, and her feelings are getting the best of her. However, she also feels that in order to really try as hard as he does to be the best she can be, she needs to keep her feelings for him under control.
 
[[File:Black whip.png|thumb|262x262px]]
 
Ochako's feelings later resurface for Deku in the joint training arc when she thinks about Deku spending time with Hatsume. They are on the same team as each other during the joint training. And when Deku's black whip quirk takes over and starts destroying everything, Ochaco jumps in and hugs Deku as he's painfully spinning around in mid air so she can calm him down. Later, when Deku wakes up from his trance, Ochako asks if Deku's okay, and Deku starts worrying that Ochako's injured. After the joint training, Mina teases Ochako about how passionately she was hugging Deku. Ochako gets very red and says that she got ahead of herself, but she also said that she didn't want to not act and regret it later. Deku gets very red in response to this.
 
 
On Christmas, the whole class participates in a random gift exchange in the dorms. By coincidence, Ochako receives an all might keychain from Deku. And Deku receives a bag of Mochi chips from Ochako. Deku looks ecstatic and is sweating profusely. Ochako smiles and blushes.

The BNHA fandom share a wide and varied shipping community, with many characters being shipped with alternative characters and gaining popularity. As a result, IzuOcha, although exceptionally popular, also frequently clashes with many other ship pairings that involve either Deku or Ochako.
BNHA has never had a particularly strong emphasis on romance, therefore it is noteworthy that the supposed crush of Deku and Ochako on each other is technically the first one way or another confirmation of romantic feelings between the characters of the franchise in general. At the moment, this ship remains the only pairing in a show of this kind, which especially emphasizes it against the background of other het ships with a large number of ship tease like TodoMomo.

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

Canon

Deku and Ochako first met at the entrance exam to enrol at U.A. High School. The two have since become close friends and class-mates and have developed deep admiration and respect for each other. They also appear to have feelings for one another, with Ochako being very apparent about her feelings whilst Deku is a little more subtle.

They are both very similar in nature. They are kind, polite and can be easily overwhelmed. As such, the two get on very well and have developed a high amount of respect for each other. Ochako admires Deku’s determination to help others and sees it as a true quality to be a hero. She has taken great inspiration from Deku and wishes to become more like him, such as during her match with Bakugo, and uses him as a key drive for her to become a hero. This resulted in her trying to play a key role in getting him admitted into the school by giving up some of her own points she scored in the exam to Deku so he would pass. Such is her admiration, she even voted for him to be class president. Later, during the Hero Licence Exam, she is awestruck by Deku’s performance in saving a mock civilian. Deku admires how much hard work she puts in to become stronger and overcome the difficult challenges she faces. After she had been defeated by Bakugo in the tournament, he stood up for her to his long time bully and explained that Ochako giving him a difficult time in their match was of her own ability and not because he had helped her. He also praised her for her clever idea in the Cavalry Battle, but only to himself.

Ochako irritated that Deku did not compliment her.

They are often concerned for one another and will try to protect each other. Shortly after they first met, Deku, with little to no experience using his new found powers, chose to save her when she was stuck to the ground and about to be trampled by a giant robot during the entrance exam. Ochako then saved a falling and severely injured Deku using her powers. Deku also wished to aid her in her upcoming fight against Bakugo, as he fully understands his strength and weaknesses, but Ochako declines his help as she wishes to win on her own merit, something Deku admires. Following her defeat to Bakugo, he goes to check on her to see how she is doing and is pleasantly surprised that she is taking the loss well. However, he soon after overhears her breaking down in tears on the phone to her parents because she lost and Deku, himself, tears up at the anguish she is feeling. After her encounter with Toga, Deku finds her and the two exchange concerns for each other’s well-being before he asks her to join him as they escort Bakugo. Ochako was notably horrified when Sir Nighteye told her that Overhaul would try to kill Deku and was frustrated she could not help him. When he loses control of his Black Whip quirk Ochako leaps towards Deku and hugs him to try and calm him down. She then tells Hitoshi Shinso to brainwash him so he can regain control. After she wakes him up they share a brief moment before they are forced to continue with their joint training session.

Ochako

Ochako blushes after she sees Deku training outside her window.

It becomes apparent early on that Deku is attracted to Ochako. He sometimes can become flustered in her presence, especially when she talks to him. Just talking to her on the phone causes him to become overwhelmed at the experience. Furthermore, seeing her in a skin tight outfit caused him to blush. On numerous occasions, if she stands too close to him he will become nervous and flustered. Deku was also willing to let her call him “Deku”, even though it is not his real name, and was touched when she changed the meaning of this nickname, which was originally a derogative name given to him by Bakugo, to something positive. Explaining that, to her, it means he will never give up. This eventually leads to him choosing it as his hero name. Deku’s closeness to Ochako allowed him to see right through Toga’s attempt to impersonate her with her quirk, and deduced she was not the real Ochako. It seems that Minoru Mineta, a pervert, has picked up on how close Deku is with Ochako as he can be seen being devastated when the two shared a close moment.

Ochako, herself, is very fond of Deku and has developed sincere feelings for him. More so than anyone else, she tends to ask where he is if he isn’t around and thinks about him frequently. She can become flustered in his presence and even jealous when other girls take an interest in him, especially with Mei Hatsume, who has had close physical interactions with Deku that has left her irritated. When he praises Mei, instead of her, during the Cavalry Battle she becomes jealous, not aware that Deku actually was impressed with her performance. She also becomes upset when she overhears that Deku had apparently seen Camie naked as well and finds her feelings difficult to understand, not knowing why she feels so bad about it. Ochako also found herself feeling jealous of how much time Deku had spent with Melissa Shield. Later, she becomes embarrassed, but happy, when he compliments her dress. After Yoga had questioned her about her feelings regarding Deku, she starts to become more self-aware of them. Although, this realisation caused her to run away from Deku when she was alone with him at the mall. Even so, she tried to find him again whilst struggling to accept that she wanted to spend all day with him. Her feelings for Deku almost got the better of her during the Hero Licence Exam, as she struggled to deal with them, and has to snap herself back into focus to keep them under control, but fully accepts that she does have feelings for him.

Black whip

Ochako hugs Deku to save him from losing control.

Numerous people have picked up on Ochako’s feelings for Deku, such as when she contacted him after his encounter with Killer Stain to check if he is well and gets teased by Gunhead regarding her love for him, causing her to become embarrassed and nervous. When she is questioned by Yuga if she has feelings for Deku she immediately blushes and accidentally lets go of the handrail she was holding on to. Toga, a villain, pinned Ochako down and quickly could tell that she was crushing on someone and she desires to be like that person. When they encountered each other again she tells Ochako that Deku trusts her a lot. Mina, one of their classmates, is a big supporter of Ochako’s feelings for Deku and teases her whenever the opportunity arrises. She blurts out to the other girls that Ochaco is in love which causes her to become embarrassed and accidentally makes herself float upside down. As she blushes over the reality she is in love she looks out the window to see Deku training and watches him. Mina also teased Ochako later on about how tightly she hugged Deku when he lost control of his Black Whip quirk and caused her to blush. Once more, Mina teased Ochaco over her All Might keychain that was gifted to her by Deku at Christmas. This time, however, after becoming slightly nervous, Ochako happily blushes at her comments. When the two shared a touching moment, after the join training programme, Mina becomes overjoyed for them.

On AO3, IzuOcha is the third most written ship for Izuku and the most written ship for Ochako. It is the eighth most written ship within the My Hero Academia tag.

The BNHA fandom share a wide and varied shipping community, with many characters being shipped with alternative characters and gaining popularity. As a result, IzuOcha, although exceptionally popular, also frequently clashes with many other ship pairings that involve either Deku or Ochako.

BNHA has never had a particularly strong emphasis on romance, therefore it is noteworthy that the supposed crush that both Deku and Ochako share for each other is technically the first confirmation of romantic feelings between any of the characters within the franchise. At the moment, this ship remains the only pairing within the show of this kind, which is especially emphasized against the background of other het ships that has a large number of ship teases, such as TodoMomo.
