The main character could have a completely different appearance!

When works of art—regardless of niche—begin to be produced, the initial ideas are usually subject to change and adaptation in order to reach a point that pleases their creator.

Izuku Midoriya is the main character My hero academyyoung person born without individuality in a universe where the vast majority of people own it. Thus, he becomes frustrated until he gets the most powerful quirk of all: One for alldirectly from #1 Hero of Japan, Omnipotent (whom the boy was a big fan of).

From there, your journey to become the #1 hero in the world begins. Despite such a heavy burden, Midoriya possesses gentle appearance is sweet and kind personality.

This “prototype version” of Deku was called Mikumo Akatani. The character had messy hair that hid part of his eyes, but we can see some resemblance to the end result. His hero costume, despite also being inspired by the appearance of a rabbit, appears darker and heavier, completely more menacing.
