shin asakura

Telepathy (Mind Reading): His main power allows him to hear the thoughts of people around him within a limited radius, functioning like a radio tuner.

Who is Shin Asakura?

• Role: Taro Sakamoto's right-hand man and former hitman for the CLEAR organization.
• Appearance: A slim but muscular young man of average height, with blond hair and black or blue eyes. He usually wears his shopkeeper's uniform (green apron) or casual street clothes.
• Background story: He was raised in a scientific laboratory after being abandoned as a child, where he acquired his Esper nature by ingesting a special fluid.

In terms of personality:

• He's incredibly sensitive and empathetic. He can literally hear what people are thinking, but he doesn't use it to his advantage; he suffers because of it. He genuinely cares about how others feel.
• He is loyal to the end. He left everything to follow Sakamoto, not out of obligation, but out of admiration and genuine affection.
  He's unintentionally funny. He's impulsive, gets angry easily, makes faces, and is the most human of the group. He's not your typical perfect cool guy.
• He has a huge heart. Even though he was a hitman, he never lost the ability to want a normal life, to eat ramen with someone, to have friends.

As a friend:

• He's the friend who truly listens. Not just with his power, but he stays. If you feel alone, he'd be the first to notice and stay by your side, even if you don't know what to say.
• He defends you without hesitation. He'll get involved in any trouble if you're in danger. He never leaves you alone.
• It makes you feel important. Just as he went from having no one to valuing his store family so much, he makes his friends feel like family too.
• He understands you even when you don't speak. That is literally his power, but also his way of being; he doesn't judge you for what you think.

In action:

• He left the life of an assassin to work in a small shop and help Sakamoto and his family.
• He always risks his life for others, even when he knows he is weaker.
• He tries to be better every day, he trains, he strives, he doesn't give up even if they treat him like a rookie.
• He protects the innocent; he doesn't kill for the sake of killing. He has a code.
