Child Emperor (童帝, Dōtei) is the S-Class Rank 5 professional hero of the Hero Association and its youngest hero. He has his own laboratory in Y-City.

After the battle against the Monster Association, he loses faith in adults (mainly the S-Class) due to their uncooperative and prideful nature. Subsequently, he decides to quit the Hero Association and joins the Neo Heroes, as the organization is more open towards listening to criticism and suggestions in order to improve, in contrast to the Hero Association.

Appearance
Child Emperor is a pre-adolescent boy with light skin, short brown hair, and large amber eyes. His hair often has a cowlick. He wears a light blue polo shirt with dark cobalt colored shorts and orange sneakers with white rims. Additionally, Child Emperor wears a black Japanese style backpack that holds his gadgets. He is often seen snacking on a pink lollipop.

Personality
Despite his young age, Child Emperor is a genius. He has a very analytical mind and is capable of observing situations and formulating plans in a calm and collected manner. However, he doesn't like being called childish and gets easily annoyed and infuriated when he is as he feels as though nobody really takes him very seriously even though he is one of the highest-ranked heroes.

Ironically, he is also one of the most mature S-Class heroes, as he is willing to take criticism as well as being able to collaborate with others without fighting and causing chaos. He is also one of the calmest and collected S-Class heroes with the highest strategical thinking skill, which in turn makes him the unfortunate "leader" of the S-Class heroes despite being the youngest of them.

Child Emperor also has a caring side. He prioritizes creating an antidote for his fellow heroes who have been wounded, instead of defeating the Demon level threat, Eyesight. He also displayed relative concern for Pig God's well-being after the hero devoured the venomous monster and asked if he is feeling okay.

Furthermore, he seems to prioritized saving the hostage, Waganma as well as risking his own life saving the other hostage, Tareo without hesitation, proving that he is a young but responsible and capable hero that takes his job very seriously.

However he, like most top heroes, is also overconfident and condescending to a degree, commenting that a truly talented individual doesn't join up with those beneath them. Showcasing slight narcissism while referring to himself in that regard. He writes off Saitama as a weakling based on a faulty reading from his unfinished invention and the hero's plain appearance. To his defense, no one really knows about Saitama's true capability.

Moreover, he can be overcautious, willing to leave valuable assets such as Genos, Bang, and Bomb out of an operation because of misplaced mistrust (as he thinks they might be a traitor) and underestimation of the enemy, the Monster Association. Child Emperor even admits that his calculations can be shallow, such as during his encounter with Phoenix Man.

Child Emperor also reveals some irritability towards other S-Class heroes and especially Sweet Mask because of their uncooperative and prideful nature which in return makes it almost impossible for them to work effectively with each other. Most S-Class and Sweet Mask are unwilling to co-corporate and communicate with each other in times of need.

Child Emperor loses faith in adults and the Hero Association after the dismantling of the Monster Association. He becomes disappointed in the heroes' inability to listen and cooperate with each other, which was the reason they were unable to deal with the Human Monster, Garou. He then decided to quit the Hero Association and join the Neo Heroes not because he fully trusts them, but because they are more open to listening to input and criticism than the Hero Association.

Abilities and Powers
Being a high ranked S-Class hero, it can be assumed that Child Emperor is very powerful. However, his high rank in the S-Class is mostly due to his brainpower, like Metal Knight, instead of physical strength even though he is as fit as some of the top A-rank heroes, such as Stinger, despite being only 10 years old.

Through tactics and his gadgets, he is capable of defeating numerous monsters on his own, whether through guerrilla warfare or prepared head-on combat. Like his fellow S-Class heroes, Child Emperor is strong enough to handle a demon-level Monster on his own and with relative ease. Though unlike most of his allies who use direct force to fight, he fights with a mix of intellect and strength, preferring to create opportunities, preparations, and strategies to put the odds in his favor and defeat his opponents instead of using muscle power and raw speed.

Child Emperor is also capable of holding his own against a Dragon-level monster by himself. He was even able to defeat a resurrected Phoenix Man. However, he seems to struggle a great deal against the Dragon-level threat. He even admitted had Phoenix Man used an alternate form of attack against him after Brave Giant's energy was depleted, it would have ended badly for him. He was only able to defeat Phoenix Man by using his intellect, exposing his opponent's weakness and destroying his costume.

The backpack contains large spider-like limbs that Child Emperor can use for transportation, combat or even fly. It is also strong enough to defend against a demon-level opponent's attack.

 * Utility Tools: Child Emperor's backpack contains several fighting tools including a chainsaw, a shredder, a boxing glove, a knife, a machete, and a blow torch. He first uses these tools to shred Phoenix Man to pieces.

Radio-Controlled Sentry: A radio-controlled miniature tank. It was swiftly destroyed by G5.

Invisible Wall: A transparent film Child Emperor uses to defend himself. It has excellent resistance against the force of a sudden impact and can be rolled into a tube or used as a candy wrapper. It was durable enough to completely block the Beak Attack of Phoenix Man and even hurt the monster's beak in the process. Child Emperor can stack five of them for maximum defense, however, this was not enough to stop the resurrected Phoenix Man.

Enemy Machine Disabling Device: Bug Basket-Kun A trap device that imprisons machine type enemies in high voltage cables and blasts them with signals in order to force them to shut down. It is controlled through a special white recorder. It was first used against G5, but was incapable of taking down the robot and was ultimately destroyed in the process.
