Last week, Weekly Shonen Jump Editorial Staff announced on their website that a name of a controversial character will be changed.
The controversy happened when creator Horikoshi Kohei announced the name of All For One’s doctor. The doctor known as Ujiko’s real name was revealed to be Maruta Shiga, a quirkless doctor.
Unfortunately, the spelling of the name refers to victims of human experimentation during World War II, acts done to Korean, Chinese and foreign detainees.
Today, netizens have uncovered something not so cool about characters birthdays from the series.

A few reactions on SNS:
I swear to god, too many coincidences. Not judging the author, but I’m worried he’ll get more backlash just for stupid reasons altogether.

They are just fictional characters. Beside, I am sure there are many real people out there in this world who happened to be born on the same day as those people.

So if my birthday is on the same day with any nameless murderer, should I be blamed for it?
IT’S RIDICULOUS! CAN’T BEAR IT ANYMORE, STOP HARRASS HORIKOSHI! WHY BEING SO STUPID AND UNREASONABLE?— ALICE🌈 (@alice33581) February 9, 2020
Horikoshi made multiple statements, apologized, and promised to change the name, but these fools wanna keep acting salty. They need to get over themselves.
We fans will keep supporting #MyHeroAcademia so they can cry some more. Stay mad you fake victims.#supporthirokoshi pic.twitter.com/0Tpfgk2ANL
