Atsuhiro Sako, also known as Mr. Compress, is a recurring villain affiliated with the League of Villains, was a member of the organization's Vanguard Action Squad, and later became one of the nine lieutenants of the Paranormal Liberation Front. He followed in the footsteps of the Peerless Thief, who was his great great grandfather and became a nationwide wanted thief, being one of the more 'experienced' members of the League. He and the rest of his team serve as the main antagonists of the Forest Training Camp Arc and Paranormal Liberation War Arc. He was arrested after his defeat during the Paranormal Liberation War. After the Final War, Mr. Compress, along with Spinner, are the two surviving members of the League of Villains. Atsuhiro is a tall, slim man with pale skin and brown eyes that are semicircular and slightly slanted inwards, and he has a notably pointed nose. He wears a combination of a mask, balaclava, and a hat. Underneath his mask reveals that he has short black eyebrows and a head of curly brown hair, similar in shade to his eyes. In his villain attire, he wears a dark orange shirt with the collar left upturned, a green striped bolo necktie with an oval-shaped azure brooch hanging around his neck, a black waistcoat, and black dress pants. He wears knee-high white boots with wedged heels and black toe-caps, plain dark red gloves, a tall brown top hat, a red ribbon tied around it, and a pale feather sticking out on the left. Over his head, he wears a black balaclava with a hole for his mouth as well as his eyes, over which he wears one of the multiple white masks he owns, each with a different black geometric design. In his first appearance, he also wears a dark yellow, double-breasted overcoat with buttoned shoulder tabs and a high collar, which reaches below his knees, and he additionally carries a silver walking stick with a gold handle. After Overhaul destroys his left arm, Giran gives him a replacement prosthetic which he wears from then on. During the Paranormal Liberation War, Atsuhiro uses his Quirk on his lower back in an attempt to escape Best Jeanist, thus permanently maiming himself. Atsuhiro is a showman who likes to command every event he's a part of and be as flashy and entertaining as possible. He is talkative, humorous, and arrogant with his allies and enemies. Atsuhiro has a habit of monologuing and showing off his entertainer skills. This showboating has proven to be a flaw in his skills as a villain; he allowed the Bakugo Escort Squad to catch him because he spent so much time taunting them. Mr. Compress also nearly lost possession of Katsuki Bakugo after taking a moment to bow after his victory. Atsuhiro is often the voice of reason among the League of Villains and appears to care for his comrades; he mentors the younger members and frequently keeps them in check. After Magne's death, he immediately leaps into action and tries to subdue Overhaul himself. This action costs him his arm, but Compress quickly gets revenge by destroying Overhaul's arm later. Though little of his past or motives were shown, it's revealed that Atsuhiro is the great-great-grandson of Oji Harima, who stole from wealthy heroes and gave that wealth to the people. Atsuhiro joined the League of Villains to fight against such a corrupt system and wealthy heroes, exposing the perceived injustices of a heroic society.
