Child Emperor (童帝, Dōtei) is the S-Class Rank 5 hero for the Hero Association. So far, he is the youngest hero in the Hero Association. He has his own laboratory in Y-City.

Appearance
Child Emperor is a young boy with short brown hair and large amber eyes. He wears a light blue buttoned up collared shirt with dark blue short and orange sneakers along with a black school bag on his back.

Personality
Like most children, Child Emperor views his education as quite an important part of his life. For example, even as the earth was in danger and he was summoned to an S-Class meeting, he still mentions his cram school. He also has something of a superiority complex, easily becoming infuriated when being labelled as childish by others, often acting like he and his fellow heroes are better than everyone else and even coming to mistrust adults after being disappointed in his inability to stop Garou. Most importantly, befitting his Emperor motif, he is very analytical, observing the situation and formulating plans in a calm and collected manner.

Child Emperor has a caring side. He prioritizes creating an antidote for his fellow heroes who had been poisoned instead of defeating Eyesight. He also displayed concern for Pig God's well-being when he devoured Eyesight.

Alien Conquerors Arc
Child Emperor is first seen during the S-Class heroes meeting. After the Dark Matter Thieves attack A-City, Child Emperor suggests that the Hero Association should confirm who the enemies are and whether they are what the prophecy was referring to. He later goes to the roof of the Hero Association HQ with Genos, Superalloy Darkshine, Tatsumaki, and King. He immediately starts thinking about ways to take care of the spaceship, while Bang, Metal Bat, Atomic Samurai, and Puri-Puri-Prisoner take care of Melzalgald. Afterwards, Child Emperor appears beside Genos and Engine Knight.

Monster Association Arc
Child Emperor uses Underdog Man No. 22 to analyze Eyesight's poisons to find a cure for the paralysis. Child Emperor then proceeds to detonate Underdog Man No. 22, but that did not successfully kill Eyesight as she hardened her skin. Eyesight then manages to find Child Emperor but is interrupted and eaten by Pig God. Pig God decides to go after the other monsters in Y-City afterwards.

Psychic Sisters/Fall of Hero Associations Arc
By the time the Hero Association is about to fall soon enough, Child Emperor becomes delusional over adults, such as his idol, Blast and his mentor, Bofoi, are not coming to help Child Emperor and their fellow heroes during the Monster Association incident on their final battle against Garou. Thus, determined to be strong without needing help from them or anyone.

Numbers
He and other heroes tried to stop Jumping Spider together, but were easily blown away by the creature because of a misunderstanding of the monster's real capability. Jumping Spider is later defeated by Saitama, but King was given the credit. He measured the heroes' rating while they were there. Bang refused, Genos was not able to be measured due to his robotic parts, Fubuki got a low rating, and both Saitama and King got an undefined rating. The Okame-chan had its limits for being too weak or strong. Emperor called King the strong one and Saitama a lazy person.
