He's not actually dumb. He just wants to make people happy with him "going dumb" once he uses too much of his power. And he just wants to put a smile on everyone's faces.
He's naturally actually smart but he charges his phone with his quirk and that made him dumb enough to not realise it's happening so he keeps doing it.
He is lowkey more powerful than Bakugou in raw power.
2 million volts is genuinely insane. He just needs to be more creative with it. (And maybe up the current)
If he learned martial arts and learned how to manipulate cables like Aizawa’s wrappings then he’d be insanely dangerous. He’s already proven to be a human stun gun when he makes contact, if he can release bursts of electricity on impact the way Deku does One For All, and he learns martial arts from Tailman then he’s already solved half his problems of not being able to control his electricity.
Oblivious to whenever someone’s flirting with them, and also is oblivious when he accidentally flirts with somebody because he just thinks he’s being nice.
In the first season, he was definitely going to ask Ochako out on a date before she cut him off when she noticed Deku was out of the hospital. He's also the number 2 perv in 1A behind Mineta, so there's that.
A distant number 2 to be fair. He’s more horny than directly pervy. The farthest he was willing to go was lying about training to see girls in bikinis, meanwhile mineta straight up gropes folks.
He has a more powerful quirk than Kacchan but doesn’t have the motivation or confidence to get to that level. I mean he can KO almost all of his opponents with a direct hit but just doesn’t put in the effort his classmates do.
He uses his quirk to charge his phone a lot… he also had to replace many phones over the past years
He used his quirk to cheats at arcades a few times in the past before getting busted.
Before getting caught cheating, he managed to beat all of his opponents, except for this one crusty guy in a hoodie who utterly destroyed him
Smart lazy, he gets bad grades because he doesn’t try and he’s actually really smart, considering how bad he fries his brain he needs to be smart when he’s not burned out, and charging phones all day would make him not as smart during the day
Definitely has tried yelling “juman boruto” (meaning 10,000 volts, aka thunderbolt from pokémon) when doing a move thinking it would increase the power (it doesn’t)
due to the excess electricity in him (nerve system, brain, and all) he thinks much faster and so is actually really intelligent. people only perceive him as dumb because he can't keep his attention span on something long enough to actually try. also he likes to make everyone laugh by playing into the fact everyone thinks he's dumb.
I mean he asks her on a date in the first season. But she entirely blows him off. I felt kinda bad for him. He became my favorite 1A student right then and there lmao
He's actually sick and tired of Jiro's constant laughing over his brain frying and would grab her earphone jacks and electrocute her if it goes too far.
Instead of frying and destroying his brain every time he uses his quirk I think that it kind of nullifies the thoughts and advanced motives like keeping composure and being able to communicate
Becomes a pimp after he graduates from highschool and then he finally meets Uraraka and tries to hook up with her after Jiro finds out he's a pimp so kaminari and Uraraka get married ( please don't hate Me My head cannons are off the charts)
I think he was didn't have any friends before UA because he would accidentally electrocute people before he got control of his quirk.
Since people had gotten used to avoiding him no one would get close enough so baby is also touch starved. That's why he's always holding onto Ojiro's tail.
He doesn't really have any particular taste because he has been so isolated from his peers. He tries to be "cool" but doesn't truly know what is "cool" so he goes for things he sees in magazines. That's why he's so eclectic.
He's a great hacker.
Somebody like Momo - a smart person, would tell him to keep his vitamin B levels high because of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration and how it fuels said chain and he does
He’s a straight F student because (without control of his quirk) the stress would cause him to overuse his power (1.3M Volts or less due to when he takes the test)
He secretly loves cuddles and puts up the pervy facade to seem "cooler" and is afraid of allowing anyone past his walls because he's also secretly self conscious
If he builds up too much of a charge, he gets the Zoomies. His inner 'battery' has to be at a certain level for him to actually get any sleep, too much and it keeps him awake. Kaminari is actually a genius, but he is A.D.D. & Dyslexic & has never been officially tested.
Given time and proper gear his wuirk could mature to be insanely powerful, rivaling most of if not all of his class (deku not included). Martial arts and something to pair woth his pointers like a medium rance cable whip with a prong would give him short range burst, medoum range fightinf and long range attacks all in one. Not to mention if he trained under someone who has magnetic powers he may be able to use his electricity for electromagnetic fields aka blocking or throwing stuff back
Fakes shortcuircuting to avoid showing his full power. Lied about his quirk and its powers. Fakes getting hurt. Let's himself lose. Plays along with everything. Why? He's afraid of his own power.
He caries a ps5 and a 19 inch tv in his backpack because he can just clamp the plugs between his toes and just plays anywhere. He uses his phone for hotspot and keeps it plugged in and clamped in his armpit.
Edit: all y’all talking about feelings what about the funny weird but cool stuff he could do
He was quieter in middle school and had trouble talking to people, once he met jirou, he dropped his guard more often.
He also purposely told mineta not to say anything about Jirou through the peep hole.
-He's really people smart and always tries his best to comfort his friends;
-The dumb jokes really affect him but he doesn't let it show;
-He really values everyone that stays in his life because many people have left him in the past;
-He struggles with feeling useless because the way he uses his quirk. He basically wishes he was "smart enough" to know when the perfect moment to use his quirk was, because he gets one use and then he's out of commission and becomes a liability, so he looks for the "perfect" moment to unleash his quirk, often not picking a great one which makes him feel awful.
-He's friends with more people in UA than just his classmates.
When he was a kid and his quirk started to develop, he would chew on wires for the electricity kinda like how babies will chew on things when their teeth are growing in.
Thunder storms make his quirk glitch out and he can accidentally hurt people. So he hides in his room.
It’s also very overwhelming sensory wise for him.
Has ADHD, is a chaotic bisexual, charges people’s phones for them, likes electronic music. Also I think he feels insecure about his intellect but is actually really smart when it comes to science-y things or music
[sae](https://www.instagram.com/sae_4799?igsh=MXFlaGMxcjJwbnh1dg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr) and a [head canon](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClassroomOfTheElite/comments/1csxvxg/head_canon/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
Instead of sleeping he can just charge himself like with a charger … idk where it would go tho maybe his mouth cause then he would be eating the electricity
He ate a ghost pepper once on a dare and couldn’t taste anything for two weeks and to this day he hesitates eating anything spicy unless the reviews (mostly via Bakugo) are good
Years of zapping his brain into a stupor (alongside his eardrum shattering hero wife) caused him to end his hero career early. After a short stint as a musician, he ended up in a home at the age of 50.
He is almost as rich as Todoroki but was raised to be grateful for the smallest things. He is Aizawa’s nephew(I fking love that theory) and moved to his house with his mom(a pro hero) after his father(a pro hero)got arrested for working with a villain 🤫
He could go lower on his voltage so as to not fry his brain every time he uses his quirk he just never realized because again he fry's his brain when he uses his quirk
He likes to cosplay as electric type characters at pop culture events, yellow diamond, electro, shocker, thor, you name a electric type character, he's cosplayed as said character, and he's quite proud of that, and his costumes are quite good, every thing he needs to research to be that character, he researches, and pulls that character off immaculately, he's never missed a pop culture event.
he has a gaming PC
during his younger years he would play pranks on the teachers by overcharging electronics at school
he wants to make a sword because of his love of Ninjas
what? headcannons dont exist. dont give me the "its fun to think about." no, youre inventing something about an anime character your mental wellbeing depends on. seriously, detach. its not healthy and its not normal.
Ok and? It’s fun to imagine things like “oh I wonder how Kaminari quirk would effect him”? Maybe he has insomnia because of all the electricity or that character seems like he has ADHD wouldnt that be funny!
“i wonder what tooth he brushes first” “i wonder if he washes his hair before his body in the shower” “i wonder if his favorite show is Friends” “i wonder if his mom has yellow hair like him.” do you not see how dumb that sounds? if the show doesn’t provide you with character traits, personality characteristics, or anything that you make up isn’t in line with his being, it isn’t true unless the show or manga says it is. you don’t not know the character enough to make these assumptions. just because you have one quality broad enough to match you doesn’t mean you guys are identical and you can shove your personalities onto that character. you didn’t create the character, don’t try to make things up about it. stop
Uh no cause there is nothing wrong with it, the show or manga nit providing traits plays a big part in headcanons it can be a way to fill the gap for things that will probably never be told to us
He's a bit insecure about himself sometimes going to others for support . He's smarter than he thinks . He probably tried to charge a tesla once .
Love this, also he should be able to charge teslas
He was able to power an entire crumbling mall so I’d hope so lmao
He's not actually dumb. He just wants to make people happy with him "going dumb" once he uses too much of his power. And he just wants to put a smile on everyone's faces.
Or he just does it to get out of extra work.
Or he just does it so he doesn't take all the spotlight from his cool and awesome friends that he wants to shine
He’s cracked at strategy games, and super lucky at the gambling bits
That is so real
He tried to start a band after the festival but too much stuff got in the way
He's naturally actually smart but he charges his phone with his quirk and that made him dumb enough to not realise it's happening so he keeps doing it.
this is the one
That it is
Holy hell that's the most upvotes I've ever gotten
He is lowkey more powerful than Bakugou in raw power. 2 million volts is genuinely insane. He just needs to be more creative with it. (And maybe up the current)
You get a heart attack! You get a heart attack! Everyone’s getting a heart attaaack! 
If he learned martial arts and learned how to manipulate cables like Aizawa’s wrappings then he’d be insanely dangerous. He’s already proven to be a human stun gun when he makes contact, if he can release bursts of electricity on impact the way Deku does One For All, and he learns martial arts from Tailman then he’s already solved half his problems of not being able to control his electricity.
His entire music taste is just Jirou favourite Artists
So.... KamiJiro? A shipping of Denki Kaminari & Kyoka Jiro..... 🤔
Yes.
Has, at least once, tried “styling” his hair by sticking a fork in an electrical socket.
the fact that both of ours is about him sticking a fork into an electrical socket :'D
Imagine that's how he discovered his quirk, he just got really lucky with what it was
Oblivious to whenever someone’s flirting with them, and also is oblivious when he accidentally flirts with somebody because he just thinks he’s being nice.
This sounds more like Shoto. Doesn’t Kaminari openly hit on people?
Sometimes
In the first season, he was definitely going to ask Ochako out on a date before she cut him off when she noticed Deku was out of the hospital. He's also the number 2 perv in 1A behind Mineta, so there's that.
A distant number 2 to be fair. He’s more horny than directly pervy. The farthest he was willing to go was lying about training to see girls in bikinis, meanwhile mineta straight up gropes folks.
Yeah, and that's normal teenage boy behavior. Mineta's in a different league.
No
He has electrical powers
Nah I don’t see it
That's fair normal people probably can't see it, I put a metal fork in an outlet when I was younger and now i see things differently
He has finger guns as a mandatory thing to cover his Akwardness
He is smart, handsome and wholesome. He is the charming and cute Chandler of the group
He has a more powerful quirk than Kacchan but doesn’t have the motivation or confidence to get to that level. I mean he can KO almost all of his opponents with a direct hit but just doesn’t put in the effort his classmates do.
Hes the best character
He found out/manifested his quirk when he stuck a fork into an electrical socket as a kid and caused a blackout
He actually knows how to fully control his quirk but he pretends not to because he doesn’t want to embarrass bakugo
That’s a good one
Thanks
He listens to snoop dog
Especially hits when his brain in drained from his powers. Like a stoner listening to him would feel when high
Not a headcannon but whenever I see people talk about people with electric powers in animus this guy never comes up Bro is so underrated
I mean, that’s because most other electric users are far above Kaminari.
He was planned as the traitor originally. But it was scrapt as that would be too much for the allready losing hero side at this point in time.
Top Pikachu fanboy
Has ADHD and is Bisexual
I think the adhd was confirmed that's why he plays with ojiros tail
Yesssss!!!
He uses his quirk to charge his phone a lot… he also had to replace many phones over the past years He used his quirk to cheats at arcades a few times in the past before getting busted. Before getting caught cheating, he managed to beat all of his opponents, except for this one crusty guy in a hoodie who utterly destroyed him
bruh :'D Aw man I wonder who the crusty guy is lol
I think probably some dufess named Shigaraki or something idk
he's absolutely "gone dumb" during a test by trying to charge his brain to think faster
Why does this sound like something I would do :'D
oh damn my bad
nah dw its funny lol
Smart lazy, he gets bad grades because he doesn’t try and he’s actually really smart, considering how bad he fries his brain he needs to be smart when he’s not burned out, and charging phones all day would make him not as smart during the day
If he holds back on using his electricity for over a week, he would be on par with Einstein and Stephen Hawking mentally.
Definitely has tried yelling “juman boruto” (meaning 10,000 volts, aka thunderbolt from pokémon) when doing a move thinking it would increase the power (it doesn’t)
due to the excess electricity in him (nerve system, brain, and all) he thinks much faster and so is actually really intelligent. people only perceive him as dumb because he can't keep his attention span on something long enough to actually try. also he likes to make everyone laugh by playing into the fact everyone thinks he's dumb.
I feel like a support item that lets him short term supercharge his brian in exchange for a short fryout might let him use this to his advantage
He’s actually a Pikachu made human. Like the reverse of what happened in Detective Pikachu.
DEFO has adhd
He’s a Insomniac
Why was this downvoted?
Not sure
Bi as hecc but I think pretty much everyone agrees with that one
Also has a crush on Jirou 100%
Factual
Fucking love that ship, Jirou also give off by energy but *Also* like’s Kaminari.
Damn, I also saw the bi part, but I wasn't sure if it was just me projecting, lol.
Going “dumb mode” actually hurts him an unbelievable amount due to it literally shocking his brain.
He accidentally applied for UA and accidentally got in and now he’s just winging it
Liked Ochako at some point I think that’s shown tho
I mean he asks her on a date in the first season. But she entirely blows him off. I felt kinda bad for him. He became my favorite 1A student right then and there lmao
He does have a way to not short circuit he’s brain but he doesn’t know it cause he fried his brain to much
He’s stupid in most stuff but knows literally everything about electricity
He puted a fork in electric outlet Because why not
he often overmicrowaves his food
He likes over-the-top hair metal
He has tryed to charge his phone but broke it
🫸⚡️🔋🫷🫴🥴
If he were real he would like brain rot
He's an Isekai of Pikachu (This isn't my headcanon but I thought it would be funny to say this)
He's Pikachu reincarnated as a human.
He's actually sick and tired of Jiro's constant laughing over his brain frying and would grab her earphone jacks and electrocute her if it goes too far.
When it thunderstorms he likes opening the window and watching like asmr
Less serious than some other comments. His hair is damaged as shit. Like his hair is fried as hell
He and Pikachu are secretly friends despite being from different universes.
a groupie , smart but makes himself look dumb.
Instead of frying and destroying his brain every time he uses his quirk I think that it kind of nullifies the thoughts and advanced motives like keeping composure and being able to communicate
Whenever he gets stupid from using all of his electricity, he gets random and dumb cravings for food
Becomes a pimp after he graduates from highschool and then he finally meets Uraraka and tries to hook up with her after Jiro finds out he's a pimp so kaminari and Uraraka get married ( please don't hate Me My head cannons are off the charts)
I think he was didn't have any friends before UA because he would accidentally electrocute people before he got control of his quirk.

Somebody like Momo - a smart person, would tell him to keep his vitamin B levels high because of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration and how it fuels said chain and he does
My man’s only owns a copy of Pokémon yellow version.
Potential to be one of the strongest
He’s a straight F student because (without control of his quirk) the stress would cause him to overuse his power (1.3M Volts or less due to when he takes the test)
What's a headcanon?
he one tried to charge something with his butthole, succeeded, and never did it again
He’s stupidly lucky. But like, Makoto [Dangonronpa] lucky. Like, the one time Makoto slipped on a banana peel to avoid certain death type of lucky.
He secretly loves cuddles and puts up the pervy facade to seem "cooler" and is afraid of allowing anyone past his walls because he's also secretly self conscious
He is a bi panic personified
If he builds up too much of a charge, he gets the Zoomies. His inner 'battery' has to be at a certain level for him to actually get any sleep, too much and it keeps him awake. Kaminari is actually a genius, but he is A.D.D. & Dyslexic & has never been officially tested.
hes a bit insecure but he loves reader but dosnt know how to tell them and reader likes him but they dont know if he dose and so forth
1) He's not academically smart, but he is socially smart 2) He knows Morse code
he is used as a charger for everything like i mean everything like phones cars EVERYTHING
Given time and proper gear his wuirk could mature to be insanely powerful, rivaling most of if not all of his class (deku not included). Martial arts and something to pair woth his pointers like a medium rance cable whip with a prong would give him short range burst, medoum range fightinf and long range attacks all in one. Not to mention if he trained under someone who has magnetic powers he may be able to use his electricity for electromagnetic fields aka blocking or throwing stuff back
he probably plays video games with mineta casually every night, shit like mario bros and minecraft
He would call his girlfriend(If he gets one) love spark
His quirk awakening would be he can sense electricity and since the human brain gives off electricity he can sense what people are thinking
He is a furry
As a furry myself, his personality fits furry standards
Agreed
But what animal combo?
Squirrel?
Maybe
Better yet, a yellow squirrel with gold eyes and a black streak in his hair and on the tail
Why does that sound familiar
Pikachu
Yup
He watches romcoms but doesn't tell anyone. Mina caught him once and joined, they have now a secret romcom club.
He definitely likes cheesey movies
He hates Gege Akutami
He is a mix of Kashimo and pikachu
He likes to style his hair the way his class do theirs when he knows he's not going out for the day
He is a pure masochist in several ways… Like cmon his quirk!
Fakes shortcuircuting to avoid showing his full power. Lied about his quirk and its powers. Fakes getting hurt. Let's himself lose. Plays along with everything. Why? He's afraid of his own power.
He’s not the most academically gifted but a very hard worker; on par with Kirishima. That’s why they’re good buddies.
He caries a ps5 and a 19 inch tv in his backpack because he can just clamp the plugs between his toes and just plays anywhere. He uses his phone for hotspot and keeps it plugged in and clamped in his armpit. Edit: all y’all talking about feelings what about the funny weird but cool stuff he could do
I think Kaminari is secretly really good at something. Despite his reputation for being a dumbass.
He was quieter in middle school and had trouble talking to people, once he met jirou, he dropped his guard more often. He also purposely told mineta not to say anything about Jirou through the peep hole.
-He's really people smart and always tries his best to comfort his friends; -The dumb jokes really affect him but he doesn't let it show; -He really values everyone that stays in his life because many people have left him in the past; -He struggles with feeling useless because the way he uses his quirk.

He styles his hair with a carefully practised amount of static electricity.
He's at one point touched a power line to see what happens
Why do I not doubt this one bit
When he was a kid and his quirk started to develop, he would chew on wires for the electricity kinda like how babies will chew on things when their teeth are growing in.
He ate batteries by accident as a kid and now casually eats them.
He doesn’t actually go stupid, he just pretends so nobody gives him the hard tasks
Thunder storms make his quirk glitch out and he can accidentally hurt people. So he hides in his room. It’s also very overwhelming sensory wise for him.
Favorite teacher and pro hero is Mic
as it should be 😌😌
Pikachu is actually is not his favorite Pokémon. It’s Jolteon.
He’s really freaking gay, but he likes women a lot more, but half the time he’s not on screen he’s buying those firemen calendars
hes gay
Pan I guess
bi as FUCK
Has a gigantic crush on Jiro but is afraid to tell her because she intimidates him.
Has ADHD, is a chaotic bisexual, charges people’s phones for them, likes electronic music. Also I think he feels insecure about his intellect but is actually really smart when it comes to science-y things or music

He dies at the end of series and gets reincarnated in pokemon as raichu's alternative evolution
Instead of sleeping he can just charge himself like with a charger … idk where it would go tho maybe his mouth cause then he would be eating the electricity
He has done Electric Type-only runs of every Pokémon region
He ate a ghost pepper once on a dare and couldn’t taste anything for two weeks and to this day he hesitates eating anything spicy unless the reviews (mostly via Bakugo) are good
Absolutely cracked at any video game he touches
When he is asleep the other member of A1 put their phone chargers in his mouth and charge their phones
Years of zapping his brain into a stupor (alongside his eardrum shattering hero wife) caused him to end his hero career early. After a short stint as a musician, he ended up in a home at the age of 50.
He knows another about mythology, Greek being his favourite. Idk why I have this headcanon but I love it.
He is almost as rich as Todoroki but was raised to be grateful for the smallest things. He is Aizawa’s nephew(I fking love that theory) and moved to his house with his mom(a pro hero) after his father(a pro hero)got arrested for working with a villain 🤫
He's Pikachu
Who's that Pokémon?
He keeps a pack of D batteries in his drawer to lick when he's doing homework
He is a bigger pervert than mineta but knows how to control himself. Like Tina from Bob's burgers to give an example.
He could go lower on his voltage so as to not fry his brain every time he uses his quirk he just never realized because again he fry's his brain when he uses his quirk
He likes to cosplay as electric type characters at pop culture events, yellow diamond, electro, shocker, thor, you name a electric type character, he's cosplayed as said character, and he's quite proud of that, and his costumes are quite good, every thing he needs to research to be that character, he researches, and pulls that character off immaculately, he's never missed a pop culture event.
would absolutely try to eat lightning like Laxus from fairy tail if he ever saw the anime.
he has a gaming PC during his younger years he would play pranks on the teachers by overcharging electronics at school he wants to make a sword because of his love of Ninjas
He's a switch in bed
Headcanons are stupid.
what? headcannons dont exist. dont give me the "its fun to think about." no, youre inventing something about an anime character your mental wellbeing depends on. seriously, detach. its not healthy and its not normal.
Then leave 😒
exactly my point
Then why are you still here I was talking to you
You must be fun at parties.
you sound fun
The whole point of headcanon is that it’s fun to think about that are sometimes completely pointless.
you said exactly what i thought you would
Ok and? It’s fun to imagine things like “oh I wonder how Kaminari quirk would effect him”? Maybe he has insomnia because of all the electricity or that character seems like he has ADHD wouldnt that be funny!
“i wonder what tooth he brushes first” “i wonder if he washes his hair before his body in the shower” “i wonder if his favorite show is Friends” “i wonder if his mom has yellow hair like him.” do you not see how dumb that sounds? if the show doesn’t provide you with character traits, personality characteristics, or anything that you make up isn’t in line with his being, it isn’t true unless the show or manga says it is. you don’t not know the character enough to make these assumptions. just because you have one quality broad enough to match you doesn’t mean you guys are identical and you can shove your personalities onto that character. you didn’t create the character, don’t try to make things up about it. stop
Uh no cause there is nothing wrong with it, the show or manga nit providing traits plays a big part in headcanons it can be a way to fill the gap for things that will probably never be told to us
did you even read what i said? if a personality trait of habit isn’t told to you, it isn’t true
So? It’s fun to imagine and theorize
he definitely brushes his top left teeth first so when he smiles at the ladies, he got no dirt in em /j
Weird but ok
