Matsuru was born a gifted child into the Yaoyoruzu clan. Being given the best education and tutors money could buy, he spent most of his childhood in some form of academia. He excelled in his studies, and quickly gained a reputation in his clan for his quick mind and acute perception (aided by his quirk). 

He followed in the steps of his older cousin, Momo, and enrolled into UA. When he first attended classes, he was truly only focused on completing the courses to become a hero. In his mind, duty triumphed over all. Through the aid of Rin and his peers, he soon came to learn that there is more to being a hero than duty. In essence, he “gained some humanity” from his time in UA.

Now forming a close bond with Rin, he decided to follow her to Uni. Enrolling through recommendation, he quickly honed his quirk and mind to the best of his abilities. As of recently, he’s a member of Endeavor’s agency, acting as its Student Advisor.  

Matsuru is very academic focused. He loves to read Victorian era literature and poetry, and is frequently studying or training during his free time. His drive to be a hero is kind of twofold. First reason is simple: he's a genuinely decent guy. Level headed, confident, and emotionally sound. He’s able to put things into perspective with a level of maturity that someone much older than him would have. He’s seen what villains can do, he also knows he has an extremely powerful quirk. In his mind, becoming a hero is not just a matter of fate, it’s a matter of duty. The second is a more selfish reason. It could be considered his flaw. He’s always had an obsessive curiosity over his quirk, Judgement Gaze. Constantly pushing its limits not because of a drive to become stronger but because of a curiosity to see how far he can push it. He is, at heart, a curious man. And his own obsessive curiosity of his own limitations could easily be used against him

Judgement Gaze - Awakened

When activated, Matsuru’s eyes glow purple. He gains, within a range of 80 meters, the ability to see in the dark and deduce patterns into simpler forms. This allows him to do a multitude of things. Learn anything at a more rapid pace, discern someone’s next action through their “body language”, have an overall heightened perception, and have increased cognitive function.

Throughout Matsuru’s decade-and-a-half of intensive training and studying, he’s elevated his quirk’s potential to a new level. He is able to, effectively, copy someone else’s quirk. This is done through a complicated process that he has split into two categories, analysis and comprehension. In layman's terms, the more he observes someone using a quirk + his own comprehension of how the many concepts behind said quirk = his success in replicating the quirk. More esoteric quirks and ones he has spent little to no time observing are incredibly hard for him to replicate.

There are also limitations to his copying ability. No matter how much effort he puts into the analysis and comprehension stages, his copies will never be as powerful as the original quirks. There is also the time it takes to perfect his copy. Just like any skill or field of learning, it takes studying and effort for Matsuru to make a safe, serviceable copy. Of course, he could use his heightened cognition when he activates Judgement Gaze to speed the process along, but rushing anything in life could lead to disastrous consequences. The same is for Matsuru's quirk. If he rushes the process of copying a quirk, he might end up injuring himself while activating it.
