~ Trumpet

Koku Hanabata, better known as Trumpet, is a major antagonist in the manga/anime series My Hero Academia. He is a former member of the Meta Liberation Army, and later a lieutenant of the Paranormal Liberation Front.


Skeptic is known to be a very relaxed man. Unlike Skeptic, he wasn't that much concerned about the death of Curious and with his intelligence and manipulation skills by instead taking advantage of what happened to her, along with his Quirk, Incite, to further motivative and power up his comrades of the Meta Liberation Army. Skeptic is very prideful as he was seen where Spinner compared him and the former villain organization and stated how they're the same and making Spinner as his equal.

However like Re-Destro, Curious and Skeptic, Trumpet is very loyal to his boss, when Gigantomachia came to Deika, he commanded his comrade to head towards their grand commander's current location to help. But after a grueling battle in Deika City, between the Meta Liberation Army and the League of Villains, both sides joined together to become the Paranormal Liberation Front. He later became one of the nine lieutenants of the new organization, along with Geten, Skeptic and his boss Re-Destro, to be second in command. But he is still loyal to Re-Destro as his right-hand man.
