TamaDeku is the slash ship between Izuku Midoriya and Tamaki Amajiki from the My Hero Academia fandom.
Canon[]
Izuku hasn't interacted with Tamaki as much as with Mirio. However, they seem to be on good terms. Izuku and Tamaki met when the Big Three appeared before the Class 1-A students. Although they did not interact or speak due to Tamaki's shyness towards the students. When Mirio challenges the Class 1-A students to a fight, Tamaki is in the corner watching the fight. Tamaki is seen listening as Izuku gathers some of his classmates together to form a strategy to counter Mirio. Later, they are taken down, despite their determination.
They meet again when Sir Nighteye makes a meeting where Izuku, Tamaki and other Heroes met to talk about the Yakuza. Tamaki was shot by a Quirk-Destroying Drug. When Fat Gum reveals this, Izuku shows a worried face. And Mirio asks Tamaki if he's okay. During the operation against the Shie Hassaikai and the rescue of Eri, Izuku was shocked when Tamaki wanted to stay behind to fight three of the eight bullets. Tamaki asked Izuku to take care of Mirio because he could act recklessly. After Izuku fights Chisaki, Tamaki along with other Heroes watch Eri's Quirk spiral out of control and start hurting Izuku.
During the filler chapter of Season 5, the students of Class 1-A are in a training exercise. Tamaki and Nejire acted as villains against Class 1-A while Mirio acted as Civilian in danger for the practice. Izuku, despite having the opportunity to hit Tamaki and knowing that he was only acting like a villain, refused to hit him. Instead, he hugged him and asked him to surrender (being the only one who did not try to hurt Tamaki). When Tamaki asked Izuku why he didn't hit him, Izuku replies that he didn't dare hurt him.
