All Might is blond, and he uses an American-themed suit, and labels all his
attacks with American city names.

At first, I thought he could be American, but then he has a Japanese name and
works in Japan.

Is All Might Japanese, American, some other nationality, or is it unknown?

Which nationality is All Might?


His full name is Toshinori Yagi which is a Japanese name as you said and
according to wiki his birthplace is Tokyo.

Other evidences are:

  * His mentor, Nana Shimura, is also Japanese.
  * All Might also go to U.A. High School and his homeroom teacher was Gran Torino.

Just in case, today in episode #20 of season 3, her "niece" (if she's her real
niece or just call him "uncle" because he's close to her) called him "japanese
hero", so no doubt he's japanese. (And they told All Might studied in United
States, so that's probably why he looks american)

On season 3 episode 20, the girl did call All Might a Japanese hero. But when
they were rescuing Bakugo from the League of Villains, Endeavor specifically
said, "Why does the American get to go in there."

Nope! American. Before the take down of All for one the #2 hero Endeavor said
and I quote “Why do we get stuck out here while the AMERICAN gets to barge
in!” ALMIGHT is American. However I don’t doubt he was raised in Tokyo and has
family who is Japanese but he is American. He also uses Detroit etc as names
for his power moves. You don’t just name something Detroit unless you were
raised there lol even living there for a short time doesn’t make sense. It is
obviously a shout out to his home town, perhaps where he was born.
