Eijiro Kirishima coloring pages: 25+ free printable PDF designs featuring Kirishima across hero costume pages, combat and power poses, expression and personality pages, his Unbreakable form, and a page with his dog. Every page is free to download as a PDF or color in the browser, with no account required.
Eijiro Kirishima is a Class 1-A student at U.A. High School in My Hero Academia by Kōhei Horikoshi, serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump since July 7, 2014. His Quirk is Hardening, which turns his skin into a sharp, rock-like surface. His hero name is Red Riot.
These pages suit My Hero Academia fans of all ages, readers who follow Kirishima specifically for his arc in the Shie Hassaikai raid, and younger children attracted to his bright red hair and expressive, enthusiastic personality.
The coloring range here covers two very different modes: the warm, vivid red and dark navy of his regular hero costume, and the near-monochromatic deep grey of his Unbreakable form, where his entire body becomes a mass of jagged stone.

What’s Inside Eijiro Kirishima Coloring Pages
The set covers hero costume combat pages, personality and expression pages, and two specialty pages.
Hero Costume and Combat Pages
Nine pages show Kirishima in his Red Riot hero costume in various power, action, and standing poses: Kirishima Red Riot, Kirishima Power, Kirishima is Strong, Kirishima Attacks, Eijiro Kirishima Power, Cool Eijiro Kirishima, Awesome Kirishima, Amazing Kirishima, and Kirishima Standing.
Coloring the hero costume: Kirishima’s Red Riot costume has three distinct color elements that work together. The base is a dark navy or charcoal bodysuit. Over this sit scale-like hardened armor panels on the chest, shoulders, and arms in dark grey with slightly warm undertones, designed to look like his Quirk is partially activated on the surface. The accent color running through the gauntlets, knee guards, and belt details is the same vivid red as his hair.
The grey armor panels have jagged, angular edges. On power pose pages where the hardening is more pronounced, the grey darkens, and the edges become sharper. A slightly warm grey rather than a pure neutral grey keeps the armor reading as a living material (hardened skin) rather than metal.
Coloring Kirishima Unbreakable: the Unbreakable page is different from all other pages in the set. Red Riot Unbreakable is Kirishima’s awakened hardening state, where his entire body transforms into a massively thickened rock-like form. The whole figure becomes deep charcoal-grey to near-black, significantly darker than the partial hardening of his regular costume. The form is visibly bulkier and more angular, with thick jagged protrusions at the fists and shoulders. There is very little red remaining in this form. It is the most challenging page in the set because the entire figure sits in a narrow dark grey range, requiring variation in value (lighter on raised surfaces, darker in the recesses) to give the form its three-dimensional quality.
Expression and Personality Pages
Eight pages focus on Kirishima’s expressions and personality: Smiling Eijiro Kirishima, Kirishima Smiling, Kirishima is Shy, Happy Eijiro Kirishima, Funny Kirishima, Cute Kirishima, Adorable Kirishima, and Printable Eijiro Kirishima.
Coloring expression pages: the hair and skin palette stays constant across all expression pages. What changes is the emotional register of the face. The smiling and happy pages show Kirishima at his most characteristic: a wide grin, sharp teeth, and energetic. The shy page is notable because it depicts a less confident Kirishima, an expression more associated with his pre-U.A. personality. The same vivid red hair reads differently against a softer, more uncertain facial expression.
Skin and hair consistency: Kirishima’s skin is a warm medium tan throughout all pages. His eyes are dark and slightly reddish-brown, with sharp, angular shapes matching his character design. The hair on every page is the same vivid, fully saturated red, maintaining consistency across the set even when the expressions vary widely.
Kirishima and Dog, and Remaining Pages
The Kirishima and Dog page shows Kirishima with a dog companion, out of hero costume or in casual attire. The dog should use warm animal tones: a medium tan, brown, or cream coat, depending on the breed shown, with dark eyes.
The remaining print variant pages (Printable Kirishima, Free Printable Kirishima, Free Printable Eijiro Kirishima, Eijiro Kirishima Image, eijiro-kirishima) present Kirishima in various compositions suited to straightforward coloring.

What These Pages Do
Kirishima’s red hair is not natural. In flashbacks shown throughout My Hero Academia, middle school Kirishima has his original black hair. He dyed it red when he decided to become a hero, deliberately constructing the look of the person he wanted to be. The red did not come first, and then the hero persona. The decision to become a hero came first, and the red followed.
This is worth knowing when you choose how to color the hair. It is not a natural anime-red that happens to be his birth color. It is a dye job: a vivid, high-saturation red he chose intentionally. The right approach is a strong, fully saturated red closer to a pure primary red than to rust or dark crimson. The brightness is the point. It is the visual declaration of the character he decided to become.
Kirishima’s Quirk works the same way his character does: the harder he pushes, the tougher he gets. He is not the most talented student in Class 1-A. His hero name, Red Riot, pays tribute to Crimson Riot, a pro hero whose mantra was never to give up. Kirishima built his entire identity around exactly that.
The AAP notes that characters who demonstrate persistence and self-improvement rather than innate superiority provide children with more actionable models of growth, particularly when the character’s design choices, such as a chosen hair color, visually reinforce their identity and values.
Art therapy practitioners note that expressive character pages covering a wide range from confident to shy offer older children and teenagers a framework to explore emotional expression through coloring, particularly when the same character appears across both confident and vulnerable states.
How to Color Kirishima Coloring Pages
The red hair needs to be fully saturated. Kirishima’s red is a bold, vivid red because it is a deliberate dye job. Muting it toward orange, rust, or dark wine loses the intentional brightness that defines the character. On the spiky hair, darker red in the recesses between spikes and lighter red at the tips gives the hair its volume without losing saturation.
The Unbreakable form is all about value, not color. The Kirishima Unbreakable page works in a very narrow color range: charcoal grey to near-black. The way to make it read is to go lighter on the raised, forward-facing surfaces of the rock protrusions and darker in the recesses and cracks. Without this light-dark variation, the page becomes a flat dark mass.
Armor grey and costume black are different materials. The base bodysuit is a darker, cooler near-black. The hardened scale panels are a warmer, slightly lighter grey. Keeping these distinct prevents the lower half of the costume from merging into one dark shape.
Keep the skin warm. Kirishima’s tan skin has a warm yellow undertone, not a cool pink one. On expression pages where his face is the main subject, the warm skin against the vivid red hair is the main color relationship on the page.
