Best My Hero Academia teachers

14163 duels later, Shota Aizawa (Class 1-A Homeroom Teacher) remains #1 in the My Hero Academia ranking of U.A. teachers, with All Might (Foundational Hero Studies Teacher) close behind.

Shota Aizawa commands the ranking with 1513 ELO points, but the 153-point gap separating him from All Might at #2 reveals a clear favorite among voters. Despite All Might's legendary status in the series, Aizawa's 81% win rate across 320 duels demonstrates his grip on the community's preference. Nemuri Kayama secures #3 with 1299 points, while Hizashi Yamada and Gran Torino round out the top 5. At the bottom, Higari Maijima sits at #10 with 997 points, suggesting that screen time and character development weigh heavily in voter decisions. The lower ranks feature teachers with less prominent narrative roles, reinforcing that visibility matters as much as teaching credentials in this matchup.

This ranking draws from 14163 duels cast by 645 players across 10 U.A. teachers, last updated on 10 October 2026. The vote captures how fans weigh mentor impact, personality, and hero prowess when evaluating these educators. Shota Aizawa's dominance suggests his no-nonsense teaching style and combat effectiveness resonate more than raw power or fame. Whether you favor the stoic homeroom teacher or the Symbol of Peace, cast your vote and shape the next update of this ranking.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
