On the TV side of My Hero Academia, manga creator Kohei Horikoshi drew two sketches based on the newest episode of the series 'Japanese Hero Billboard Chart.' The images are from the perspective of a behind-the-scene camera showing what is occurring backstage in the presentation and featuring some brand new characters to the TV anime, including Hawks, who we first met in the My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising anime film.
