*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙* ̊The Disastorous Life Of Saiki K ̊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙* ̊

Kusuo Saiki (Japanese: 斉さい木き　楠くす雄お, Hepburn: Saiki Kusuo) is the main protagonist of Saiki Kusuo no Ψ Nan who has all kinds of psychic related abilities. He usually tries to avoid getting involved in problematic or attention-grabbing situations, but his attempts always end up going wrong or having unusual ends to his displeasure. His trademark appearance contains his constant frown, his green-tinted glasses and two pink antennas located slightly above each ear, which have the function of limiting his power. Initially he was always seen alone, but in the course of the story he develops lasting friendships with his classmates and schoolmates, especially with Riki Nendou and Shun Kaido, or with his neighbors like Yuuta Iridatsu.

Appearance Kusuo CharaFull Kusuo has an average build and height. He has short hot pink hair, fair skin, and pale purple eyes with no signs of pupils nor emotion. Kusuo wears a pair of controller devices, one on each side of his head, which are never removed except in situations of absolute necessity or by accident. The devices resemble white, cyan antennae, with pink, lollipop-like spheres. Accompanying the devices, Kusuo wears white glasses with lime green lenses to prevent his petrification power. During the days he has school, he wears the standard PK Academy uniform that all male students wear. On his days off from school, he occasionally wears clothes that are sewn by his mother.[5] However, there are times he is forced to buy clothes since his mother has an exotic taste in clothing patterns. No one but Reita Aren and Mikoto know Saiki is a psychic

Kusuo's physical appearance is unlimited, since he can transform himself into any other living being, but each transformation has a 2-hour interval.

Personality As the main character and the story is nearly driven by his narrative, Kusuo is a fully rounded character that changes over the course of the series.

Young Kusuo, visibly upset going to his straight face demeanor Young Kusuo, visibly upset going to his straight face demeanor

When Kusuo was a child, he was more open to his emotions. Part of it was due to the fact that he was unaware of what his powers did, such as breaking a whack-a-mole machine in an arcade and thinking the machine was giving him praise.[9] He was highly mischievous, such as making his parents look for him for 5 hours after he teleported,[10] and smiled around others without a second thought. However over the course of time, with having to hide his psychic powers from others and his abilities slowly ruining experiences for him, he started to close himself up.

Thus, in the present, Kusuo is a reticent, self-centered, reclusive shut-in who hates being the center of attention,[11] he is quite reserved and rarely uses his voice, instead preferring to project his words via telepathy into the minds of others. To avoid interactions, he tries to make other people disinterested in him or avoid others as much as possible. For example, Kusuo hiding from the other characters in the bathroom[12] and Kusuo talking to Imu, knowing Kokomi would not like it.[13] Despite this, Kusuo is very adept at determining what people want and executing plans based on them. He was able to single-handedly raise Chiyo's favorability of Takeru from 54 to 95,[14] and to raise Reita's of Arisu to 98 on a whim.[15]

Despite being completely anti-social, Kusuo is more than capable of making selfless choices, willing to sacrifice his own happiness for the sake of others. He gave up his coffee jelly to get a baseball back to a child,[16] gave Chisato a plane ticket to Okinawa knowing that it will lead to Kokomi winning her way,[17] and preferring to let his father be him, himself being left alone, just so he does not ruin the fun for the other characters.[18] Due in part to this trait, he hates burdening others or owing favors. He always helps Kineshi after he helps him and was visibly disappointed in himself for making his mother keep his abilities a secret.[19] Kusuo is also careful to never disrespect or insult his acquaintances in their faces. With these characteristics, coupled with his reserved nature, those that know him well,[20] and even Kusuo himself,[21] consider him a tsundere.

Kusuo is one of the most responsible characters in the series. He helps with chores around the house, such as cleaning[22] and buying groceries.[23] Despite being able to get anything he wants without using any money, Kusuo saves up money to buy the things he wants, e.g. the Coffee Jelly Maker.[24] He is capable of cheating in exams to get a good score, but he decides to get average scores to avoid attention.[25] He also protects the other students' privacy and wellbeing.[26][27] Most of all, he tries heavily to not rely on his powers, wanting to achieve things for himself.[28]

In spite of his kind-hearted nature, Kusuo does have some faults. While he is quite intelligent, he lacks some common sense on some concepts, especially when it involves social boundaries and the internet. For example, he nearly got scammed by an online shop, believing an item would be cheap and not checking for delivery details.[29] He can easily be manipulated with any sweets, especially coffee jelly. He likes to pry on the other characters, though it is often for their own good; for example, while he has stated that he personally does not think he will not fall in love,[30] he will watch others who are in love and help them if he can. Examples include deciding to spy on Chiyo and Shun walking together the day after Valentine's Day[31] and helping Satou Hiroshi with his crush on Suzumiya Hii.[32][33] Although he doesn’t believe he will ever fall in love, Aiura Mikoto, a soothsayer, has predicted that they are soulmates. Kusuo is also prideful, such as being irritated at the thought of being pickpocketed as he is an esper,[34] describing how incredible his own powers are throughout the series and sometimes referring himself as a god.[35] Not to mention, he is stubborn, such as the case when he refused to admit his obvious seasickness.[36] Despite this, Kusuo is very good at listening to other people, and accepting that he is wrong when the evidence is very clearly against him; his pride doesn't get to his head.[37] Other flawed characteristics include being somewhat pessimistic.

As time progresses, he grows from not having any friends in his first year of high school, having no single thought of becoming close to anyone,[38] to later thinking of himself as a friend of several of his classmates after so much nearly endless pestering from Riki, Shun, Kineshi, Kokomi, Chiyo, Reita, Aren and Mikoto. He always takes care of them when they are in trouble and vice versa. He trusts them enough to nearly tell them about his psychic powers but ultimately did not, just so he will not burden them with a big secret.[39]

Due to a combination of his introverted nature and his subconscious ability to read minds, Kusuo holds little interest in social activities. Therefore, he typically spends his free time alone; he is a bookworm, having several books in his room, and is frequently in his school's library.[40] He enjoys watching television, including anime,[41] due to electronics (unless he uses his psychometry) being mostly unaffected by his powers.[42] While not being able to set foot in a movie theater without getting spoilers, he also enjoys watching movies.[43]

Kusuo was born on August 16th by completely normal parents, housewife Kurumi Saiki and manga editor Kuniharu Saiki.

Psychic Powers The current list of powers Kusuo has displayed thus far. Apport The power to pull something from somewhere else and have it appear before you.[1] Works in tandem with teleportation. Anything teleported needs to be exchanged using Apport with something of exactly equal value or within a 10% difference. Kusuo can cause trouble if he isn't careful, as the item that Apports takes the place of the Apported item. On one occasion, he accidentally destroyed school property after swapping a ball with an umbrella. Astral Projection The power to separate his or someone else's spirit from their body.[2] He can fight spectral beings such as ghosts in this state. Possession: When astral projecting, Kusuo can take over someone's body by switching his spirit with theirs. Bilocation Related article: Saiki Kusuo's Clones

Kusuo can use this power to duplicate himself. It is one of his most difficult powers for various reasons. He cannot control how the clones look or act, he needs to remove his limiter to use this power, the clones have all his powers and can feel anything he feels, including the removal of his limiter, which means that they could cause serious damage if left unchecked. As the original, any damage he suffers will also be reflected on the clones themselves. Clairvoyance Without having to move, this power allows Kusuo to view objects or people anywhere that are obstructed from his view by crossing his eyes.[3] Cryokinesis The ability that allows a person to create and control ice with their mind. Curse The ability to create misfortune to others and can be done by touch. The course of the curses can be changed at Kusuo's discretion. He once used this to curse someone who stole his wallet. Electrokinesis The ability to manipulate electricity. Flight/Levitation The ability to fly/float. Hydrokinesis The ability to freely use water or create water. Also the ability to create sweat on the body. Hypnosis The ability to make people see things differently/that aren't there. Kusuo uses this power to disguise other people, for example making his father or Reita look like himself. He cannot use this power on himself. Invisibility The power to turn himself invisible for 10 minutes. It is canceled if someone touches him while he's in that state. When the time runs out, or if someone touches him, he has to wait 1 minute before turning invisible again. Mediumship The power to see and communicate with spirits. This is not a power Kusuo typically possesses and seem to work exclusively with Takeuchi Riki's spirit. This can also be used with Psychometry when he is with Toritsuka Reita. Memory Alteration Delivering a strong impact to someone's head to eliminate the desired memory. In the anime a wacky yellow bat resembling TV Tokyo's mascot must be used. In the manga anything that causes an impact (ex: crowbar) may be used. Memory Supplementation: The drawback of this power as Kusuo uses restoration on the brain of the person, the memory is filled with a random different memory on each person. For example, when Kusuo erases the memory of Kaidou learning that Kusuo does not make friends easily because he is a psychic (as accidentally revealed by his mother), Kaidou's brain automatically fills in the memory error that Kusuo was unable to make friends due to his eighth-grader syndrome, a personality trait Kaidou himself struggles with internally. Mind Control The power to subtly influence the minds of every single person on the planet. He can make others perceive that something unnatural is actually natural, even rewrite human biology itself, making it one of his most powerful abilities. Kusuo uses it without his limiter and considers it his most dangerous power, able to recreate the world with his imagination alone. He has to be careful using this power, because changing how others think affects the people around them, and he could destroy the world with a single thought. He used this a few times, at a young age, to make unusual hair and antennas commonplace due to the oddity of his own appearance at birth, and it is how he avoids standing out. Kusuo could also rewrite human biology at the genetic level. He has made it natural for people have a variety of hair colors, heal rapidly from minor injuries, evolved them to think fast at critical moments, have clothes ripped to pieces leave the crotch intact and return to normal afterward, slender people strong, and people can knock others out with a simple chop. In one episode, he also made students having part-time jobs normal. To deal with the exploding volcano, Kusuo also uses mind control to change people's perception of time, repeating his junior year and allowing powers to grow over time until he becomes strong enough to stop the disaster. Petrification The power to turn a living being to stone by looking them in the eye. This happens automatically unless he is wearing his glasses. It takes a full twenty-four hours for an affected being to return back to normal. This is one of his abilities that he can't control and one of the few not to be affected by his limiter. Precognition The power to see events that will occur before they actually happen, usually accompanied by a headache.[4] This can happen when he is asleep. Kusuo has no control over his ability and can misinterpret or even cause what happens. Psychic Hold The ability to throw an electric current to the opponent to bind him. Psychokinesis/Telekinesis The ability to bring forth a physical energy just by thinking it, which can be used to do things like move or break objects.[5] It's one of his most commonly used powers. Full Force: Without any precaution, Kusuo's power increases every time he attacks. Assist: When full force is applied, there is a great increase on the power and speed of the object/person the psychokinesis in being used and is possible to continue until exhaustion Psycho Bit: One of the main techniques Kusuo uses which allows him to move multiple rocks and inflicts damages to someone regardless of his/her distance. Limit Released Psychokinesis: The ability to create a ball of energy in the air. Its power was able to destroy a whole island. Psychometry The ability to receive information stored in an object if he touches it without his gloves. When Kusuo touches a person, he experiences their senses, including those that are impacted by psychic abilities, as if they are his own. This power, by extension, allows him to see and communicate spirits when he is in physical contact with Reita. Pyrokinesis The ability to generate and control heat and fire with their mind. He can use this power to heat objects and areas, make other people blush, or heat his own body to keep himself warm or kill viruses to never get sick. Restoration The power to revert a person or object, and everything it touches, by 24 hours (or by 7 years without his limiters) with the restriction of reviving the dead and undoing petrification. May only be used once a day per a target. Shrinking Power/Size Augmentation The power to shrink down his body to small sizes. It takes an hour to return to normal size. Later it's revealed that he also has the power to grow huge, but it's basically useless. Shrinking = fast, growing = slow. Super Strength The ability of having extreme strength, beyond what is believed to be normal. It is easily one of the powers he has the least control over, though he has mitigated this somewhat by training on throwing balls. He also can't control this power when he is in a non-human form. Telepathy The ability that is used the most, due to the mode of Kusuo's communication. The power to read and talk through minds. It works on humans and animals, but Kusuo can't turn it off.[6] It doesn't work on people with low intelligence like Riki or tiny lifeforms like bugs. Angel Whisper: The ability which telepathically speaks of the crime on the doer to stimulate guilt. Brain Lullaby: The ability that sends a lullaby to the opponent's brain to put them to sleep, however this may differ to whom it was used. Bug News: A pseudo "foreboding" that feeds telepathic advice or call for help. Favorability Meter: The ability to quantify the favorability using telepathy. Relationships and human's nature significantly changes it. Foreboding: The ability to telepathy to plant an idea/sense of foreboding in someone's head. Forced Telepathy: The ability to forcefully relay feelings/thoughts from one to another. Immediate Telepathy: The ability to give others visual information with audio via touch. Subliminal: An ability which is a bit similar to that of Angel Whisper but only one word. Telepathic broadcast: Sending a big load of 'thoughts' to other people but significantly interferes with thinking. Teleportation The power to send back himself and something he touches to a faraway place.[7] He can only teleport once before needing to wait three minutes until he can use it again. Thoughtography The ability to create picture perfect photos just by thinking it. Time Travel/Time Leaps The power to escape the flow of time by jumping to either the past or future. It also activates itself randomly, getting Kusuo stuck in a loop, and the only way to get time to go back to normal is for him to completely empty his mind of all thoughts. Transformation (Shapeshift, Morph) The ability to physically transform his body into anything. It takes two hours to fully transform. When he takes on a non-human form, it's hard for him to control his physical strength.[8] X-Ray The power to see through things you normally couldn't like underside of a face-down card, or the contents of an airtight box.[9] Like his telepathy he can not control this power. The permeability to view through things increases with every second he stares at the object: clothes in three seconds and skin in five. When the limiter is removed the rate increases, being able to see bones near instantaneously. Because of this, he often sees through the skin of other organisms and views their muscular and skeletal systems, which results in him unable to perceive the attractiveness of other humans or the cuteness of animals. The ability is reset whenever he blinks or closes his eyes. Other Powers Kusuo can magnify distant objects in his vision so he can see them clearly. This ability can be considered another form of Clairvoyance. Kusuo can bend and dislocate his joints in any way he wants at his will. This causes him great pain. Kusuo can remove the fog in his glasses while eating ramen using his mind. Kusuo can check if there’s poison in food without touching it. Kusuo unconsciously and uncontrollably creates projections of Valkyrie Breaker cards that only he can see. Useless Powers Before the release of Chapter 206, the author asked readers to send in fan letters with the most useless ESP powers they could think of.[10]

Barrier - for 24 hours, a 50cm barrier surrounding his entire body will appear. Changing other people's sense of humor. Making coffee really bitter for anyone drinking it gracefully. The power to turn all drinks into carbonated liquid. The power to create matryoshka dolls from the palm of his hand. Eye Lasers - the power to shoot strong lasers out of his eyes. The power to turn collections into sand - Kusuo turns the figurines of his father into sand. Child-ification - the power to regress someone's mind to that of a child. The power to swap hairstyles with another person. The power to summon a large murder of crows. The power to see the age of someone's skin. The power to hide something with the mysterious steam that appears in shonen magazines to censor things, similar to mosaic-ization. The power to change surrounding people's voices to that of Hiroshi Kamiya (Kusuo's VA). Forced dehydration - the power to evaporate almost all the water from any living thing. Curse - a curse where something will definitely hit Shun in the shin. Materialization/Creation - the power to create something out of nothing.

Kokomi Teruhashi (Japanese: 照てる橋はし　心ここ美み, Hepburn: Teruhashi Kokomi) is a Class 3 student and one of the main characters of Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan. She is globally considered to be the perfect, beautiful girl, with people stopping and staring upon seeing her. Kokomi is a love interest of Saiki Kusuo, constantly seeking his attention due to his skeptical nature while slowly developing genuine feelings for him, but Saiki does not like her.

Appearance Teruhashi Kokomi Full Design Kokomi is a slim girl of average height with a pale complexion. She has long, dark blue hair that flows past her shoulders, with bangs framing her face. Her eyes are round and blue with a downward slant. A golden, occasionally rainbow, aura surrounds her most of the time. Kokomi is considered very attractive, being the most beautiful girl in the world.

When out of town, Kokomi wears feminine clothing, often paired with a pink scarf. On school days, she wears the standard female PK student uniform: a white Seifuku school uniform with a teal sailor collar, white collar flap, and black sleeve cuffs striped with one white line. She pairs this with a light red ribbon tied in a large bow at her collar and a short, pleated teal skirt. Her legwear consists of black socks just below the knee and brown penny loafers.

Kokomi was born as the cutest baby in the world and had very short hair until she was a young child. She wore a pink jumpsuit and held a white bunny stuffed toy in the anime.[3]

In elementary school, Kokomi’s hair reached her shoulders. Her uniform consisted of a bright orange hat, a short long-sleeved teal dress, and navy socks below her knees. She also carried a randoseru, a red leather backpack containing her school supplies.[3]

By middle school, Kokomi’s hair grew just past her shoulders. In the anime, she wore a white blouse, a short pleated navy skirt, and white socks below her knees.[4] In the manga, however, her socks and blouse were dark and long-sleeved. With this, she carried a black handbag.[3]

Personality Kokomi considers herself both beautiful and kind.[5] Although her thoughts make her appear overconfident, hubristic, or conceited, she is simply self-aware.[6] She has always been praised for her beauty since birth and is used to seeing men and women, young and old alike, fall instantly in love with her. Therefore, it shocks her when she doesn't receive the expected attention.[3] When Kusuo responds indifferently to her advances, it fuels her determination to make him react.[6] Moreover, when Iridatsu Yūta treats her poorly, she plans to fulfill her revenge years later by reminding him of his actions toward her.[7]

Nevertheless, Kokomi understands the importance of internal beauty. She believes that while beauty on the outside can entice, beauty on the inside truly captivates someone. As a result, she pretends to be unaware of her charms.[7]

Kokomi's beauty allows her to easily manipulate situations to her advantage, thanks to her talent for acting. For example, when her class play is in trouble due to a low budget, she uses her beauty and acting skills to create an illusion for the audience. With the help of Kusuo's hypnosis, she makes it seem like they are actually in the story, causing the play to be a success.[8]

Kokomi has a strong willpower, working hard to maintain her reputation as the perfect, beautiful girl. She is careful not to harm others' feelings and treats everybody in a friendly and polite manner. Moreover, she hides her true emotions, such as anger and disappointment, with a smile. However, she occasionally lets them out due to shock or embarrassment. For instance, when someone assumes the person she likes is Nendō Riki, she is appalled and unintentionally yells at him.[9] When given food she dislikes, she eats it because "a perfect beautiful girl never wastes food."[10][11] Even though all she needs to do is say she doesn't know, she puts in the extra effort for everyone to like her even more. She didn't sleep for several days to remember everything about everyone, causing her to collapse in front of them.[12]

Kokomi is more competitive than she looks; she excels in sports, beauty, academics, and art.[13] For example, she uses her charm to encourage Kouki Sawakita to win the three-legged race with her.[14] When students compare her to Rifuta Imu, she invites her to lunch to prove she can't match up to her beauty.[11] She is remarkably intelligent, consistently ranking higher than the majority of students in the final academic exams and placing 21st and 14th out of 181 students.[15]

Kokomi's personality changes throughout the series. She initially pursued wealth but later rejected a marriage proposal from Saiko Metori, a famous and wealthy student, and abandoned a life of luxury.[16] She couldn't forgive him for disrespecting her friends and the person she cared about, admitting that she would have accepted immediately if he had proposed earlier.[17] At first, she was frustrated that Kusuo didn't react the way she wanted him to and tried getting back at him. However, over time, she found herself constantly thinking about him and eventually falling in love.[18] For instance, at a mixer, she unexpectedly enjoyed herself but wished Kusuo had been there to make it even more fun and imagined what he would do if he were present.[19]

Due to the way she was raised and how people treat her, Kokomi is unaware that some aspects of her life are abnormal. While she sometimes dislikes her older brother for his weird actions, she has yet to learn or acknowledge his severe sister complex extends past brotherly love.[20] Furthermore, while she has gained experience and improved her perception because of countless people stalking her throughout her life, it is concerning.[21]

History On August 6th, Kokomi was born smiling as an adorable baby girl. When the doctor lifted and looked at her, he blushed because she was simply that cute. It wasn't the inherent cuteness that all babies have; there was a noticeable difference between her and all the other babies born that day. The news quickly spread throughout the hospital, prompting a crowd to gather and catch a glimpse of her through the nursery window.[3] She meets her older brother, Teruhashi Makoto, and he too becomes infatuated with her.[22]

Shun Kaidou (Japanese: 海かい藤どう　瞬しゅん, Hepburn: Kaidō Shun) is classified by his classmates as a chuunibyou. He calls himself The Jet-Black Wings (Japanese: 漆黒の翼, Hepburn: Shikkoku no Tsubasa) and thinks that the world and its events are overseen and controlled by an Evil Organization called The Dark Reunion.[2] Because of this, he is an outcast within his class. Shun likes to show off, but he often becomes cowardly in dangerous situations. When push comes to shove, however, he will endanger himself for those he cares about.[3] Shun is one of the main characters of the series. Appearance Kaidou Shun Full Design When Shun was in middle school, he had the persona of a nerd. He wore his hair down, with his bangs covering his face, and wore glasses. He decided to change his look when he entered high school in the hopes of gaining friends. Currently, his hair is spiky and he wears contact lenses. In reference to his chuunibyou, he wears red bandages on both arms to seal away his ‘powers’. He is the shortest boy in his class, standing shorter than most of the girls as well.

At school, he wears the standard male uniform of PK Academy, styled to fit his aesthetic. His shirt has a tattered collar and is torn in other places as well. During his days off, he dresses casually. Whether or not he is in uniform, his arms are always covered by sleeves or red bandages (similar to a boxer).ganization called The Dark Reunion.[2] Because of this, he is an outcast within his class.

Personality Shun Split personality Shun was shy in middle school and had no friends there at all. Once he began attending PK Academy, he started changing his personality to seem more adult-like. However, he developed a chuunibyou personality. He acts confident and conceited at school, claiming to be incredibly powerful and talking about how an evil organisation called The Dark Reunion is after him and controlling the Earth, in hopes that other students will think he's cool. He's often trying to impress Saiki and his other friends. His need for attention puts him in danger on occasion, however; for example, he tries to take credit for leading the rally against Saiko, unaware that Saiko is listening in; and he tells his younger brother Toki stories of his power and total control of their neighbourhood, which Toki then announces to a nearby thug smashing a vending machine, causing Shun panic. However, when feeling hopeless or when around his overbearing mother, Shun acts like a normal teenager. Despite all of his attempts to impress everyone, Shun has few friends aside from his group of associates, and is somewhat a loner at school. He is physically very weak, is terrible at sports and physical activity in general, and cannot swim; yet he continues to brag about his superhuman abilities which everyone except Toki knows he does not have.

Shun has a delusional mind and a wild imagination, coming up with so many stories of the Jet-Black Wings that he started to believe in them. He often tries to seem cool and strong in front of people, especially Kusuo, but ends up embarrassing himself more often than not, never learning from these mistakes. He is quick to judge others, as shown when he accuses Riki of being a lolicon after observing him watching a young girl.

Aside from his delusions, Shun is skilled in his academics because his strict mother makes him study a lot to succeed. He has high grades in his class, showing that he is not too distracted from his studies. However, education does not equal all-around intelligence, as he is not good at sketch drawing or map navigation, and mistakes hair clinics for hospitals. He is also shown to be recklessly courageous at times, putting himself in danger in order to protect his friends and others. For example, without thinking, he jumped in the way of a lunging snake that was trying to attack a classmate. He did not consider what would happen to him until he already stood in front of the snake, at which point Kusuo had to step in.

History Past Shun grew up as a nerd but decided to reinvent himself in high school. In his freshman year at PK Academy, he acquainted himself with Mineo Nobuaki, who taught Shun about chuunibyou. He eventually began to befriend Kusuo as because thought that Kusuo was special too. Kusuo originally did not want to associate with Shun but was left with no other choice after discovering that Shun saw him teleporting near his neighbourhood. It was later revealed that Shun was intent on getting close with Kusuo because he really wanted a friend and saw a fellow outcast as his ally. Shun hadn’t really seen Kusuo’s face when he teleported, but their friendship was already formed.

Riki Nendou (Japanese: 燃ねん堂どう　力りき, Hepburn: Nendō Riki), one of the main characters of Saiki Kusuo no Ψ Nan, is a dutiful and dull-witted boy. He likes helping people and aiding the weak,[4] and though his silliness annoys his classmates, his motives are mostly well-intentioned. His appearance is made very distinctive by his exotic haircut and oddly defined chin.

Appearance Chara Nendou Full Riki is sinister in appearance, so most of his classmates avoid him, assuming he is a bad person. His defining physical attribute is the scar on his left eye, something that can be used to differentiate between him, his father, and his mother, who all have the same faces. His hair is cut like 7 cm cut in the middle and the rest untouched with his mohawk like hair colored yellow while the rest is black. In school, he wears the standard PK Academy uniform but keeps his uniform open, showing an orange t-shirt. Outside school, he mostly wears collared shirts. He has a thin moustache, which he originally grew to match the moustache of his favorite comic book villain, Baron Cola.

Personality Riki's dominant trait is his apparent lack of intelligence. He has bad manners and typically needs things to be explained to him countless times, then still cannot understand them.[5]

Though his looks often lead people to assume that he is a delinquent, Riki is generally kind and well-meaning, which Kusuo himself acknowledges. Riki’s kindness is seen when he rescues a girl who had rejected his advances from drowning and accepts her apology for harshly turning him down. He also saves Kaidou Shun and Hairo Kineshi. He dotes on Koriki No. 2, a hamster he got from from Kusuo, and the two get along so well that he sometimes takes the hamster with him to school. He is willing to help his classmates, gives pointers in cooking class, and shares his coffee anmitsu with Saiki during the Okinawa trip. He cares deeply for his family, often visiting his father's grave despite never having met him and wanting to get a job so he can buy a gift for his mother, though he lacks the competency to keep the job for long. Ultimately, he has a heart of gold and a brain of mush.

A flaw in his generally kind personality is his perverted behavior toward women, including Teruhashi Kokomi (he gave her his outfit choice for her that appears inappropriate, and highly lacks fashion sense, in Chapter 127) and has a preference of dating those with stunning features, such as curvy waists and nice body parts, as stated in Chapter 171, similar to Toritsuka Reita (whose spirit guardian is the former's late father).

Abilities Athletic Strength - Similar to Hairo Kineshi (despite that he is surpassed), Nendou has incredible strength that, while not on Saiki's level, is superhuman compared to normal people. Ignorant Limitation Transcendence - Nendou has shown to do impossible feats just by being too stupid to know that he can't: he is able to twist his neck like an owl, stay hydrated with a can of corn pottage, and approach Saiki without being detected by his telepathy.

Aren Kuboyasu (窪谷須 亜蓮, くぼやす あれん lit. Kuboyasu Aren) was a delinquent while he was at his former school, which only Kusuo, Shun, Mikoto and Touma know.

Appearance Kuboyasu Aren Full Design While at his previous school, Aren wore typical delinquent clothes. He had a very long mullet hairstyle and wore a modified school uniform with pants that looked more like an oversized skirt. After moving to PK Academy, Aren changed his appearance to be more like a normal student's by wearing fake glasses, leaving his hair its natural dark violet, and cutting his hair shorter. While at school, he wears the standard uniform of male students in PK Academy. According to Touma Akechi, Aren's uniform is too tidy. On days off, he wears long sleeves, possibly to hide his scars, which were first seen by Shun. He is very built and muscular.

Personality Like a typical delinquent, aside from being strong and being called in fights, Aren is short-tempered when someone is being rude to him. He had a hard time controlling his temper when he first moved to PK Academy. He also has a tendency to grab anything near him and throw it at the person he's angry at (he nearly killed Takahashi just because they brushed shoulders). Aren also sometimes makes an evil, devilish face when he's angry with someone or is opposing someone, which scares them. However, he acts naive and childish when the talk is about motorbikes. He is willing to help those who want to have a license and comes with Shun and Kusuo when they take the test to get driving licenses. At first, Aren is uncomfortable sitting down in other people's houses. As time goes on, he becomes more calm and collected when talking to others.

Aren is also quite prideful, feeling absolutely annoyed with Saiko's narcissistic behavior often showing off his wealth, because of this he constantly competes against him and does his best to not let himself be surprised by Saiko's fortune. He can be perceived as Kusuo's most normal and level-headed of his group of friends

Abilities Brawling intuition: As a former delinquent, Aren is a strong and very skilled combatant. When he was in third grade, he managed to defeat all the boys and became their leader. Among many delinquents from his former school, he is considered the strongest, having many delinquents fear and respect his strength. Even after abandoning his life as a delinquent, Aren maintains his skills as a fighter, capable of defeating a large number of people with only a few blows, with most of his opponents losing consciousness after receiving his punches. At PK Academy, he's been challenged to a duel by several students, and he's won every one of his duels. Enhanced strength: Aren is physically stronger than average people. Enhanced senses: As a result of his life as a delinquent, Aren developed great intuition and senses that allow him to feel when he is being followed by someone who is hiding near him. His instincts are so advanced that even Kusuo, a powerful psychic, is amazed by this capacity of Aren, correctly sensing him twice, the second time he followed him to a park, and if it wasn't because he was using invisibility, Aren would've discovered him.

Reita Toritsuka (Japanese: 鳥とり束つか　零れい太た , Hepburn: Toritsuka Reita) is a Spirit Medium, and the second psychic introduced in the manga/anime. He transferred to class 2-➕ of PK Academy.

Appearance Toritsuka Reita Full Design Reita is usually seen wearing a white headband on his head. He has violet, spiky, medium length hair that grows through his collar. Like Shun and Riki, while at PK Academy, he wears the uniform in a lax manner, showing his dark blue t-shirt, and rolls up his pant legs. Since he is the son of a monk, he wears Buddhist priest beads on his neck and his right wrist. During his days off, he sometimes wears samue when he is in the temple and sometimes wears a polo shirt with t-shirt under it.

Personality Reita is a pervert and would do anything to make girls fall for him. He oversexualizes the female body and stalks girls who he likes. Like Kusuo, he was born with mysterious powers. He has the abilities to see, talk to, and be possessed by ghosts and most recently demons as well. Reita uses these powers in selfish ways, such as asking ghosts do his bidding and seeing which color underwear a girl is wearing. He also likes the attention that he receives after using his powers on the first day he moved on PK Academy. Reita first hears about Kusuo and his powers through a ghost and he wants to befriend Kusuo, even though the latter usually ignores him. Reita has also admitted his jealousy of Kusuo's powers, especially the power to see through things, which he wants selfish and perverted reasons. However, he is also honest enough to confess to Kusuo the reason why he wanted his psychic powers. Reita is shown to be very loyal. He usually does as he is told but tends to mess these tasks up.

Mikoto Aiura (Japanese: 相あい卜うら 命みこと, Hepburn: Aiura Mikoto) is a gyaru soothsayer who believes Kusuo is her soulmate (He is not). She and Reita tackle problems Kusuo cannot solve on his own. Mikoto is one of the few non-family members who knows about Kusuo's powers, along with Reita and Touma.

Appearance Mikoto CharaFull Mikoto is a fan of gyaru fashion. She has long chartreuse hair, decorated nails, accessories, and brown skin. While real-life gyaru fans often artificially tan their skin, it is not clear whether Aiura does so, as she never mentions tanning, and is never depicted with the usual pale skin around the eyes left by cosmetic tanning. She is consistently depicted with significantly darker skin than the rest of the main cast.[1] With that said, she has been depicted as pale skinned with light colored hair when she was younger, specifically after she had been hit by a truck for abusing her powers. [2]

She violates the PK Academy dress code and doesn't wear a collar flap, ribbon, or socks, exposing her cleavage.[3] Her olive green eyes are accompanied by hot pink star and moon face stickers. She also wears accessories such as bracelets, three piercings on each ear, and a red Virgo sign hair clip.

Personality Fun-loving, extroverted and a bit eccentric. Mikoto is open about her psychic powers and wants to use them to help people, which she believes sets her apart from Kusuo. She openly uses her powers to help those who ask, unlike Kusuo, who is more discreet and deliberate in his actions. This causes her to experience a life-threatening event, having a firearm pointed at her head when she continues to openly use her powers despite Kusuo’s warning. Kusuo rescues her from the gang and prevents her other clients from fully believing in her powers. While she offers her soothsaying services to other students for free, Mikoto charges adults money, sometimes even charging more than what was originally agreed upon.[4]

Mikoto quickly befriends Chiyo and Chisato, giving them affectionate nicknames.[3] Due to her impressive aura and beauty, Mikoto expresses great admiration for Kokomi, briefly attempting to imitate her by dressing in a more traditionally feminine way.[5]

Mikoto shows little interest in schoolwork and often sleeps during class, admitting that she is "pretty dumb", [6] due to placing 165 of the 181 students in her grade.[5]

Chiyo Yumehara (夢原 知予, ゆめはら ちよ lit. Yumehara Chiyo) is a romantic and dreamy girl who has had a lot of painful love experiences.

Appearance Yumehara Chiyo Full Design Chiyo is a petite girl with short orange-brown hair tied with a pink hairband. She has wide, honey-coloured eyes. In school, she wears the standard female uniform of PK Academy.

Personality Chiyo is a romantic girl who would do anything for love, as proven by her many attempts to get Saiki Kusuo to notice her before moving on to Takeru. After breaking up with Takeru, she starts chasing Kusuo again only to later fall for Shun instead (with the help of Kusuo). However, due to the instability of her feelings towards boys, it is no surprise when Mikoto states that she will become a 4-time divorcee.

Despite her faults, Chiyo is still a good person and cares deeply for her friends.

History Chiyo, as Aiura Mikoto has said, has an extreme unluckiness when it comes to relationships and boys. She once dated Akanishi Shinichi, who repeatedly borrowed money from her, and Shinoda Takeru, who had a bad attitude and stinky feet as well as really bad habits which resulted in them breaking up after she felt as though they "lost their spark".

Later on during the Okinawa trip, she got very depressed after everyone's lackluster reaction to her swimsuit, and after getting made fun of by two guys at the beach, Kaidou Shun stood up for her and even got into a fight with the men, causing her to fall in love with him.

Multiple times over vacation she has become morbidly obese but burned it off in days out of love and out of the embarrassment of what her love interest, Kaidou Shun, thinks of her.

Kineshi Hairo (灰呂 杵志, はいろ きねし lit. Hairo Kineshi) is Kusuo's classmate and the class representative of class 2-∭. Due to his kindness and leadership, he's well-trusted by his classmates. Kineshi is one of the main characters of the series

Appearance Hairo Kineshi Full Design Kineshi sports spiky maroon hair, weird eyebrows, and usually has a band-aid on top of his nose. He usually rolls up the sleeves of his uniform as he mostly exercises in school corridors.

Personality Kineshi can pretty much be defined by three characteristics: being hot-blooded and energetic, being obsessed with tennis, and constantly having his pants fall down to expose his butt. He is very reliable and is always looking after others or trying to do the right thing. There are times when he gets too fired up, but in the end, he's still nice to everyone, even to Kusuo's little group of outcast friends. He loves all sorts of sports, even if they are meant for children, such as dodgeball.

Kineshi is one of the more normal, reasonable characters in the manga, although he still has a few areas where he lacks common sense; for example, he isn't able to cook. Even though he's weird and fired up all the time, Kineshi is really popular with all the other kids in his class. He is the one teenage boy besides Kusuo who shows no interest nor attraction to Teruhashi Kokomi, despite her beauty being well known. Kineshi was once thought to be gay by Aren and Shun. However, he clarifies he isn't gay, and he doesn't have any thoughts about love due to never experiencing it towards either sex.[2] Even though Kineshi's enthusiasm makes him a very influential role model, he is far from leadership material as he is oblivious of the phrase (if not the meaning behind it) "Work smarter, not harder"; he even admits that his class has never won a special event before despite having the motivation to win in the first place, making him his own worst enemy.

His enthusiasm is also his greatest weakness and causes him to do unnecessary work, such as getting too many gas canisters or vigorously finishing a sports event pedestal despite Sports Day being a month away. He is extremely reckless and downright impulsive; on one occasion, he damaged a shutter during a fire drill under the idea that it was a test of physical strength, which could have been avoided if he had listened to the announcements. He even gets himself a buzzcut for losing at the Sports Day, only for him, Saiki, Nendou, and Kaidou to realize they only had to do it if they lost to Class 2. In one part of the manga, Hairo's hot-blooded personality becomes a problem during a snowball fight since his body temperature is so high that he melts the snow around him.

Abilities Athletic Strength: Kineshi has incredible strength and stamina, but not nearly as much as Riki, mostly due to overworking himself. Heat Generation: Kineshi has the ability to generate heat by working out. It is hot enough to melt snow in seconds and warm up an entire classroom. It is never explained how he can do this.

Chisato Mera (目良 千里, めら ちさと lit. Mera Chisato) is a classmate of Kusuo's. She works part time in Cafe Mami as a waitress.

Appearance CharaChisato Chisato has maroon hair, which she wears tied into two low bunches with colorful beads. She has maroon eyes and wears a pair of round spectacles with a piece of lens missing. Her PE Uniform and swimsuit have other people's names on them since she could not afford to buy new ones. She is described as having a starved appearance.

Personality Chisato is a poverty-stricken, clumsy, very selfish, tactless, self-serving, greedy, albeit determined, remorseful, diligent, mild-mannered, good-hearted girl who frequently breaks dishes and may eat her customer's food. When Kusuo becomes Kuriko for a brief time and has a meal with her, Chisato eats everything. She complains about having to stop eating, Kuriko remarks it is a horrible thing to say.[1]. She asks for food from her classmates by giving them an acorn. When she constantly complains about their gifts and steals from them, they are taken away from her and she breaks down in tears and admits to her mistakes.[2] When shipwrecked, she eats everyone's food, but she also gives them safe plants to eat and kills a snake which was threatening their lives. She then apologizes about the food and works really hard to make up for it.[3]

She works hard for her family, taking on multiple jobs to support them and possibly skipping meals so her siblings can eat. 20 days after New Year's Day, she states that a bowl of ramen she is having is her first meal of the year[4] and over a summer break she ate mostly grass.[5] Because of this, she will eat anything if given the opportunity, including abusing the free-sample policy, taking handfuls of food samples, [6] and the burnt remains of failed cooking class attempts.[7] Mera is shown to be an air-head on occasion, like when Saiko mails her a laxative bread but she fails to realise that Saiko was the one who mailed it and takes it as a kind offer when it is meant to offend her.

Abilities Super Eating; Mera has shown to adapt to eating grass, burned foods and ate a laxative bread without any side-effects. Survival Intuition; Chisato can survive very well, as was displayed when the group of friends were stranded on the deserted island.
