Overall Abilities: While not being the combat-type, Kinoko possesses incredible proficiency over her Quirk abilities. Kinoko also seems to be a fan of Hawks and asked Fumikage if he had any pictures of the No. However, she possesses a kind side as seen when she apologized to Fumikage Tokoyami for using too much of her Quirk on him and telling him to take necessary medicine to better himself. She also likes to make mushroom puns during a battle.

When her teammate Shihai Kuroiro's plan fails, she excitedly initiates her part of the plan using her Mushroom Quirk, suggesting that her confidence has increased greatly, or at least that she is more comfortable around mushrooms. However, Kinoko arrives at the Joint Training Battle alongside her classmates with a big smile, contrasting with her demeanor during the Sports Festival.

Her hero costume consists of a turtleneck dress with long sleeves and furred cuffs, which is decorated with a red and white fly agaric pattern, matching the one on her mushroom cap-shaped hat. Kinoko's pupils are little black crosses, both together highly resembling the caps of cross-sliced shiitake mushrooms.
Unobscured, her eyes are wide and rather cat-like tilted inwards with rather long lower eyelashes, and her irises are a warm brown color. She has a long fringe that completely covers her eyes, hiding most of her face, and her mouth is notably large. Kinoko is a short girl of a rather thin build, with honey brown hair, curved inwards in a mushroom-shaped bob that reaches just below her narrow shoulders.
