Background

The Problem Solver was founded twenty years before Wu Shiyin explained its history to Yang Xiao and Toga Himiko. Another senior managed it for its first twelve years, but died after a mission failure. Wu, then an ordinary member, took over when the remaining members gradually dispersed. 29

Under Wu’s leadership, the public-facing Problem Solver accepts general requests from people in need, while its hidden core handles lethal contracts against criminals and people it considers irredeemably evil. 29

Appearance

Wu Shiyin is a silver-haired man with distinctive dead-fish eyes. Although naturally handsome, he usually neglects his appearance, giving him a scruffy and slovenly look. 11 306

• Silver hair. 11 306
• Dead-fish eyes, a trait others compare to Shinso Hitoshi’s expression. 151
• Often behaves untidily, including picking his nose while working or cooking. 27 89
• Usually travels by motorcycle or a small electric scooter. 10 151

Personality

Wu initially presents himself as lazy, unserious, and eccentric. He sleeps late, leaves his shop in disrepair, and hired Yang Xiao partly to clean the accumulated trash, graffiti, and mess outside the storefront. 5 He is also frugal in daily matters, such as refusing overpriced hotel arrangements despite the Problem Solver’s resources. 82

Behind that façade, Wu is calculating, strict, and highly protective of his core members. He recruits only people who have spent over six months with the Problem Solver and met his standards, and makes clear that leaking core secrets carries fatal consequences. 28 When Yang Xiao is badly injured, Wu prioritizes finding treatment and insists that he will not abandon a core member. 60

Wu prefers ending conflicts swiftly once his allies are endangered. His relaxed demeanor vanishes when Yang Xiao is wounded, prompting him to reveal the wind-based power that forms the Problem Solver’s main deterrent. 92

Abilities & Skills

Wind-Based Quirk

Wu possesses an exceptionally powerful wind-based Quirk, earning him the title “Wind God.” His control and output vastly exceed ordinary wind users. 92 306

• Gale Palm — Releases a concentrated blast of wind that launched Saipan more than thirty meters and left him severely injured. 92
• Tornado generation — Created tornadoes capable of throwing Hula aside and carrying the One-Eyed Dragon into the sea from over a hundred meters away. 92
• Killing Whirlwind — Damaged General Ya’s golden defensive armor during the Giant World war. 310
• High-speed evasion — Avoided General Ya’s massive sword attacks while counterattacking repeatedly. 310

Combat Resilience

Wu survived a palm strike from General Ya, an Emperor-level Peak opponent, though he was injured badly enough to sit out a subsequent Giant World operation while recovering. 310 312

Leadership and Operations

Wu manages the Problem Solver’s hidden network, recruitment process, assignments, and operational resources.

• Maintains a concealed surveillance-and-documents hub beneath the Problem Solver storefront. 27 28
• Oversees a large underground training base with open space and Quirk-training equipment. 49
• Assigns missions according to members’ abilities, initially placing Yang Xiao and Toga Himiko on coordination and case-management work. 29 41

Relationships

• Toga Himiko — Employee and core member. Wu offers her part-time work, recruits her alongside Yang, and treats her as part of the Problem Solver family. 12 28 29
• Shinpachi Shimura — Core member and trusted combatant. Shinpachi trains Yang and works alongside Wu in major operations. 29 49 92
• Tae Shimura — Core member and apparent romantic interest. Wu refers to her as “my woman,” though their interactions are frequently complicated by drinking-related incidents. 29 90
• Kagura — Core member whose enthusiasm for fighting contrasts with Wu’s preference for ending battles quickly. 29 92
• Qiao Nansan — Senior ally with a familiar, near-familial rapport; Qiao calls Wu “Xiao Wu,” while Wu addresses him as Elder. 60
• Shinso Hitoshi — Probationary recruit. Wu gives him a chance to join the Problem Solver through smaller jobs before considering him a full partner. 151 154

Story Role / Major Arcs

Recruitment of Yang Xiao and Toga Himiko

Wu hires Yang Xiao as a part-time employee, offering a monthly salary of 7,000 Huaxia currency and three meals a day. 4 After months of observation, he exposes Yang and Toga to the Problem Solver’s secret core hub and recruits them under strict confidentiality terms. 28

Development of the Core Hub

Wu explains that the core group acts against criminals through covert, lethal contracts. He assigns Yang and Toga to organize cases and coordinate missions while Shinpachi, Tae, and Kagura handle fieldwork. 29 41

Training and Field Deployment

When an assassin organization threatens the Problem Solver, Wu orders Yang and Toga to begin formal training rather than remain vulnerable support personnel. 48 He later authorizes Yang to take solo infiltration and assassination assignments, providing disguise equipment and operational support. 64

Neptune Grand Hotel Conflict

After Yang is injured during the conflict with the Neptune Grand Hotel’s forces, Wu stops holding back. He overwhelms multiple opponents with wind attacks, forces their surrender, and orders them never to target the Problem Solver again. 92

Shinso Hitoshi’s Recruitment

Wu meets Shinso after the U.A. Sports Festival and offers him an opportunity to join the Problem Solver. Rather than immediately granting core membership, Wu tests Shinso through routine work and small assignments. 151 154

Giant World War

Wu joins the operation against the Giant World as the Wind God, commanding immediate respect from other Emperor-level experts. 306 He damages General Ya’s armor with Killing Whirlwind and survives the Giant general’s retaliation. 310

Darkest Era

Three years after the Giant World conflict, Wu remains an Emperor-level Peak expert but is demoralized by the collapse of the Island Nation under Zheng Yingshan and Han Guang. Yang’s return and revelation as the God-level Payne gives him renewed reason to believe the situation can change. 331 332
