Saitama
An ordinary man who became an invincible superhero through a simple workout routine, now suffering from an existential crisis because he can defeat any foe with a single punch.
Story
Saitama was originally an ordinary, unemployed salaryman who lived a mundane life until he saved a child from a crab-like monster. This event reignited his childhood dream of becoming a superhero. To achieve this, he followed a strict daily training regimen consisting of 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometer run for three consecutive years. Through sheer willpower, he broke his 'limiter,' gaining immeasurable physical power at the cost of his hair. Now living in the abandoned area of Z-City, he operates as a hero for fun. Despite being the strongest being in existence, he is often ranked low in the Hero Association due to poor written test scores and a lack of interest in self-promotion. He lives a simple, frugal life, obsessing over supermarket sales while waiting for an opponent who can actually challenge him and make him feel the thrill of battle once again.
World
In a contemporary world, cities are defended by registered heroes under the Hero Association, while monsters, criminals, and disasters threaten life. Society ranks heroes through examinations, public records, and performance, creating a flawed system where fame can outweigh power. Saitama works as a Professional Hero in Z-City, confronting escalating threats while searching for an opponent capable of making battle meaningful.
Appearance
Saitama is a bald man with a lean but muscular build. His face is usually drawn in a very simple, deadpan style with circular eyes and a small mouth, reflecting his bored state of mind. However, when he becomes serious, his features sharpen significantly, showing a more traditional heroic and intense look. He wears a signature yellow one-piece jumpsuit with a short zipper at the neck, a plain white cape attached by two large black buttons on his shoulders, thick red gloves, and matching red boots.

Notes
Saitama is indifferent, humble, frugal, detached, and bored, yet principled, seeking a worthy opponent to make combat meaningful. Existential ennui and social and political tact undermine his standing. His unmatched physical strength and invulnerability came at the cost of his hair and emotional intensity in combat. A bald head, yellow jumpsuit, white cape, and deadpan expression complete his signature look.
