My Hero Academia: Why Does Fumikage Have A Bird Head?
My Hero Academia is a world filled with heroes. These heroes have mutations called quirks that give them superhuman powers. These powers can be categorized into three groups: emitter quirks that allow control over something, transformation quirks that allow for transformation, and mutations.

There could also be a member of his family with a similar shadow emitter quirk. This theory can't be proven because fans haven't been introduced to Tokoyami's parents or seen what they looked like.
