Free Eijiro Kirishima Coloring Pages: 25 printable PDF designs of the spiky-haired hero known as Red Riot, showing him grinning, flexing, attacking, standing guard, hardening his skin into jagged armor, and relaxing with a dog. Each sheet can be printed on regular paper or colored on a tablet or computer, completely free.
Kirishima studies in Class 1-A at U.A. High, the hero academy of Kohei Horikoshi’s My Hero Academia. The manga appeared weekly in Shonen Jump between 2014 and 2024, and studio Bones began adapting it for television in 2016. His Quirk, Hardening, turns his body as tough as rock, and his hero name honors his childhood idol, Crimson Riot.
Loud, loyal, and always ready to shield his friends, Kirishima is one of the most upbeat characters in the series. His design relies on a few strong shapes, the spiked red hair, sharp teeth, and craggy, hardened skin, so the pages reward bold color choices and careful texture work.
What’s Inside This Collection
Every one of the 25 designs centers on Kirishima himself, with his moods and his Quirk doing the variety.
Red Riot in Action
Kirishima Red Riot, Kirishima Power, Eijiro Kirishima Attacks, and Kirishima is Strong show him in hero mode. Give his costume a Black base with Red trim, and leave a few areas of bare skin in Peach so the hardened patches you add later stand out.
Hardening and Unbreakable
Kirishima Unbreakable shows his strongest form, with his entire body covered in sharp, rocky ridges. Shade each ridge in two tones of Gray, darker on one side, so the armor looks carved and three-dimensional.
Smiles and Expressions
Smiling, Happy, Funny, Shy, Cool, and Adorable pages capture his personality away from combat. His wide grin, full of pointed teeth, works best left white with thin Gray lines between each tooth.
Kirishima and Dog
One gentle page shows him with a dog, a nice break from the action. Choose a warm Brown or Tan for the dog to balance his bright red hair.
Portraits and Quick Pages
Standing poses, close-ups, and simple printable portraits round out the set. These are quick to finish and good for practicing his hair spikes before moving on to the harder action scenes.
What Eijiro Kirishima Coloring Pages Do
Celebrating courage and loyalty. Kirishima’s whole hero philosophy is about protecting others and never backing down. His pages are a natural way for fans to talk about bravery and standing up for friends.
Building control with sharp shapes. Kids ages 2 to 7 gain finger and hand dexterity from structured coloring, a developmental link the American Academy of Pediatrics has written about for parents. For older fans, Kirishima’s spiky hair and jagged, hardened skin keep that precision skill sharp.
Unwinding after a busy day. Structured coloring led to measurable drops in anxiety, according to a 2005 paper in the Art Therapy Journal. Repeating the same rocky texture across his arms and chest is a calm, rhythmic task.
Learning about texture. Smooth skin and rough, hardened skin sit side by side on many pages. Switching between the two shows how shading alone can change what a surface feels like.
How to Color Kirishima Pages Well
- Spiked red hair: Fill each spike with Red, then add Maroon at the base where the spikes meet his head. Leaving the tips slightly lighter makes the hair look sharp and upright.
- Hardened skin: Color the hardened areas in Gray and outline each crack with a darker Gray or Black. Small white highlights along the ridges make the surface look like stone.
- Sharp teeth: Keep his teeth white and outline them carefully. Clean teeth make his famous grin read clearly even on small pages.
- Red eyes: Use Red with a dark pupil and a small white highlight. Matching the eyes to his hair ties his whole look together.
- Costume colors: Stick to Black, Red, and touches of Yellow for his hero gear. A limited palette keeps him recognizable as Red Riot.
- Action backgrounds: For attack pages, add a burst of Orange and Yellow lines behind him. The burst suggests motion and impact without competing with the figure.

Who is Eijiro Kirishima?
Eijiro Kirishima is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School in My Hero Academia, a manga by Kōhei Horikoshi. His Quirk is Hardening, which allows him to transform his skin into a sharp, rock-like surface for both offense and defense. His hero name is Red Riot, a tribute to his idol Crimson Riot. He is one of Katsuki Bakugo’s closest friends.
What is Kirishima’s Quirk?
Kirishima’s Quirk is Hardening. It allows him to harden any part of his body into a sharp, rock-like surface. He can use it defensively to withstand attacks and offensively to deliver hardened strikes. His awakened form, Red Riot Unbreakable, significantly increases the thickness and toughness of the hardening, transforming his entire body into a massive, jagged stone-like form.
Why is Kirishima’s hair red?
Kirishima’s red hair is dyed. In flashbacks shown in My Hero Academia, middle school Kirishima has black hair. He dyed it red when he decided to become a hero, as a visual statement of the persona he was building. The red is a deliberate choice, not a natural hair color.
What is Red Riot Unbreakable?
Red Riot Unbreakable is Kirishima’s awakened hardening state, first used during the Shie Hassaikai raid arc. His body transforms into a dramatically thickened, near-indestructible rock form, much heavier and more angular than his regular hardening. It is his most powerful form, but it requires significant physical effort to maintain.
What is Kirishima’s hero name, and where does it come from?
Kirishima’s hero name is Red Riot. It is a direct tribute to Crimson Riot, a pro hero he admired growing up. Crimson Riot’s defining philosophy was never to give up, to keep pushing forward no matter the situation. Kirishima adopted this as the core of his own hero identity.
Are these official My Hero Academia coloring pages?
No. These are fan-made coloring sheets for personal use and are not affiliated with, licensed by, or endorsed by Kōhei Horikoshi, Shueisha, or any other rights holder of My Hero Academia.
What age group are these pages best suited for?
Eijiro Kirishima coloring pages are best for children aged 7 and up. The hero costume and Unbreakable pages have enough detail for older children to engage with, and the expression pages are accessible across a wide age range.
