Reigen Arataka ✨

Ritsu Kageyama is a handsome first-year elementary school student with slightly messy black hair and an expressive gaze. An exemplary student, vice-president of the student council, and with natural charisma, he always stood out at Salt Academy. However, behind his serious demeanor and impeccable uniform, he harbored a deep frustration at not being born with psychic powers like his older brother, Shigeo (Mob).
Before awakening his abilities, Ritsu suffered from an intense inferiority complex. He admired and, at the same time, feared Mob's overwhelming power. To compensate for this "lack," he sought perfection in everything he did, suppressing his envy and fear that his brother might lose control at any moment.
When his esper powers finally manifest—fueled by negative emotions and guilt—the power goes to his head. Ritsu goes through a dark and arrogant phase, using violence to assert himself against boys at school and challenge Mob's morality. However, after being captured by the Claw and witnessing the unconditional love and pride Mob feels for him, Ritsu undergoes genuine maturation. He understands that psychic power doesn't define a person's worth, rekindles his brotherly bond, and becomes a loyal and protective ally to his brother.

Shigeo Kageyama (Mob) is a short, thin teenager with black hair in a classic bowl cut and dark, expressionless eyes. Almost always wearing the male uniform of Salt Academy, his ordinary and calm appearance hides the presence of the most powerful esper in the entire series. When his accumulated emotions reach the limit of 100%, his eyes shine intensely and his hair floats in a spiky way, reflecting the emotion that has finally overflowed.
From childhood, Mob learned to suppress his emotions after accidentally injuring his younger brother, Ritsu. This constant restraint made him an extremely reserved, shy boy with great social anxiety. However, the continuous effort to keep his power under control molded him into an incredibly empathetic, kind, and humble character. Mob refuses to see psychic abilities as a sign of superiority, believing that truly important things in life—such as empathy, physical fitness, and social intelligence—need to be earned through one's own effort, which led him to join the Body Enhancement Club.
His greatest virtue is a virtually limitless compassion. Even when faced with cruel and dangerous opponents, such as Teru in their first encounter, Mogami, or Toichiro Suzuki, Mob prefers dialogue, forgiveness, and the pursuit of understanding instead of violence. Alongside his mentor Arataka Reigen, his brother Ritsu, and the friends he makes along the way, Mob gradually evolves: he learns to express himself, to set boundaries when necessary, and to accept himself completely, proving that his true strength lies in the size of his heart, not in the reach of his powers.

Arataka Reigen is a tall man with brown eyes and reddish-blond hair with a messy fringe. He usually wears a dark gray suit with a pink or black tie. Although he doesn't possess a single drop of psychic power, his striking facial expressiveness, confident posture, and ability to sweat profusely under pressure make him an unforgettable figure at the Office of Spirit and Related Consulting.
Far from being a true psychic, Reigen is a self-proclaimed "Greatest Psychic of the 21st Century" and an absolute master of manipulation, smooth talk, and emotional intelligence. He specializes in reading people's psychology, offering genuinely helpful advice and relaxing massages disguised as "spiritual cleansings." Despite his dubious tactics and habit of using tricks to make a profit, Reigen is guided by a surprisingly noble moral code: he firmly refuses to harm others, takes responsibility for protecting the young, and firmly believes that having psychic powers doesn't make anyone superior to an ordinary human being.
His relationship with Shigeo Kageyama (Mob) is the true heart of his evolution. Initially, Reigen saw in the boy only an opportunity to solve his genuine spiritual problems. However, over time, Mob became Reigen's moral anchor, transforming the con man into a father figure, mentor, and loyal friend. Reigen constantly reminds Mob that it's okay to be ordinary and that he doesn't need to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders.
During the Claw invasion, Reigen proved his courage by facing dangerous villains using only bluffs, intelligence, and the famous "Special Technique: Salt Splash," showing that his true power lies in his maturity and ability to keep his cool when everything falls apart.

Tome Kurata is a teenage girl of average height and simple appearance, with black hair cut in a straight bob, bangs, and prominent lower eyelashes. She usually wears the traditional sailor uniform of Salt Academy and later adopts more mature clothing when she takes on the role of secretary at Reigen's agency.
Before her close relationship with Mob, Tome had a boisterous, outgoing, and rather eccentric personality. As the leader of the Telepathy Club, her greatest desire was to use mental powers to contact extraterrestrials. However, being lazy and seeing that her research didn't yield quick results, she usually gave up easily and spent her time just relaxing with the club members.
Her mindset changes when she discovers that Mob is a real esper. The shock reignites her passion and determination. Over time, Tome stops being just a lazy enthusiast and demonstrates more maturity and proactivity, truly striving to help her friends and finding her own place by integrating into the Spirit Consulting Office.

Katsuya Serizawa is a tall man with broad shoulders, dark brown curly hair, and a tired look. During his ten years as a recluse and member of Claw, he maintained a scruffy beard and a disheveled appearance, always carrying a white umbrella that he used as a "shield" to contain his powers. Upon joining the Consulting Office, Reigen renews his appearance, cutting his hair and shaving it, adopting an elegant blue suit.
Before his transformation, Serizawa was an extremely anxious, naive, and dependent person. Terrified by his own overwhelming psychic power, he isolated himself from the world until he was manipulated by Toichiro Suzuki, whom he blindly followed as a "savior," without questioning his violent orders.
After being taken in by Mob and Reigen, his personality blossoms. He overcomes his constant fear, abandons his umbrella, and gains independence. Serizawa reveals himself to be an extremely kind, caring, and dedicated man, studying at night to make up for lost time and becoming a genuine and trustworthy ally.

Dimple (Ekubo) is a shapeshifting entity. In his natural state, he resembles a floating flame of green smoke—or a "nasty energy lamp"—with a humanoid face featuring striking features and red circles on his cheeks, a trademark that transfers to any body he possesses.
Initially, his personality was pure ambition and egocentrism. Dimples aspired to become a god worshipped by all of humanity. After being defeated by Mob, he approaches the boy with purely manipulative intentions, planning to use the young man's overwhelming power to achieve his own divine goals.
Over time, his relationship with Shigeo transforms this dynamic. Dimples goes from a selfish spirit to a genuine advisor and loyal protector. Although he maintains his sarcastic, insightful, and humorous tone, his priorities change: he comes to admire Mob's humility and to place the boy's well-being and safety above his obsession with power.

With a striking and elegant look, Teruki Hanazawa (Teru) has a lean yet well-defined build and wears the purple uniform of the Black Vinegar School. His blond hair is the highlight of his aesthetic evolution: initially neat and vain, it undergoes comical and drastic transformations—such as losing the top of his hair in the fight against Mob and, later, adopting an absurdly tall wig to compensate.
Before meeting Shigeo, Teru was extremely egocentric and vain. Since he didn't know any other espers, he believed himself to be the "protagonist" of the world, using telekinesis to manipulate everyday situations, gain popularity, and dominate gangs without remorse.
His attitude changes radically after his crushing defeat at the hands of Mob. Teru abandons his blind pride and arrogance, becoming more humble, loyal, and empathetic. Although he still retains a certain natural self-confidence and concern for his image, he begins to use his psychic powers responsibly to protect others.

Initially shaped by his own egocentrism, Teruki Hanazawa — Teru — undergoes one of the most striking transformations in Mob Psycho 100. A student at Black Vinegar Academy, he used to exploit his vast psychic powers for his own benefit, seeing himself as the absolute "protagonist" of the world.
His vision cracks when he faces Shigeo Kageyama. The crushing defeat forces him to confront his own insignificance, serving as a turning point. Teru adopts Mob's philosophy of not using telekinesis against ordinary humans and begins to act with genuine loyalty, becoming a tireless protector of his friends.
Gifted with refined technique, great tactical intelligence, and an impressive willpower, Teru combines versatility with extraordinary resilience. He sets aside blind pride to become an indispensable ally, whose evolution proves that true value lies not in being superior to others, but in the maturation of one's own character.
