some headcanons for His Birthday:
toshi was born in tokyo, which is also the location of his agency today.
as a child, toshi was fascinated with comic book heroes. at the time, having a quirk wasn't nearly as common as it is today. likely 60/40 as far as having a quirk/not having a quirk percentage goes. and because of this, there was a significant lack of real-life heroes.
toshi's mother died when he was eight due to a villain attack, leaving him and his dad alone. his father was a stern man who worked in construction and focused on providing though they were incredibly poor. his mom had been more of the dreamer and encouraged him to chase after his dreams.
when toshi was old enough, he started working with his dad around school and pursuing his own dreams of becoming a hero.
at 12, toshinori's dad was killed in the wreckage of a villain attack. from then on, he took care of himself. his dreams of being a hero and a pillar for the community became higher than ever. that same year, he met nana shimura and inherited one-for-all.
he had plans to go into medicine if he never inherited a quirk and if he failed at being a hero.
all-might became the symbol of peace as we know, but he also became a massive advocate for lgbtq+ heroes, who at the time, were struggling to be hired. he publicly came out as gay and trans when he was around 20.
all-might's agency routinely has the highest number of lgbtq+ workers yearly.
toshinori has a fortttttttttttttune. i mean this man has MONEY. however, you'd never really know it judging by how he lives day-to-day and how frugal he is.
today, his birthday is wildly celebrated across japan and the world-- almost like a holiday. there are parades and festivals, etc. it's a little strange, due to how subtle he is now and how so much of his life was kept a secret from the public, but hey. if it's bringing people together, he's with it.
