His creator expected fans to hate him.
As the My Hero Academia franchise boasts a plethora of characters, it only makes sense that not everyone would be equally popular, but it's surprising to learn that the one character who always comes out on top in the popularity polls was actually designed by author Kohei Horikoshi to be a villain.
Horikoshi Never Expected Bakugo To Become So Popular The one character whose popularity surprised Horikoshi is Katsuki Bakugo, the fiery bomb hero of UA High School. According to Horikoshi, "Bakugo has been a bit of a surprise. I assumed everyone would hate him, but it's been the opposite". Surely enough, in the character popularity polls periodically made for My Hero Academia, Bakugo consistently comes out on top.
Thankfully, fans were able to empathize with and relate to Bakugo in spite of everything he did. They understood that his bullying and teasing never came from a place of anger or hate, but rather one of weakness. Bakugo is short-tempered, a trait that is seemingly inspired by and reflected in his hero design and abilities. But even behind this theme lies a deeper meaning. Even though others may see him as arrogant or overconfident, he struggles with personal issues and insecurities too.
