Shigeo Kageyama

Tsubomi Takane is, ironically, the most "normal" person in a world full of people with powers and existential crises: she's calm, straightforward, and quite mature for her age, with a firm personality that isn't easily impressed, not even by absurd psychic abilities (sorry, Mob, that doesn't score any points here); she's usually honest without being cruel, knows what she likes and dislikes, and maintains a certain emotional distance because she doesn't feel the need to fit in or feign interest, which makes her seem cold at times, but in reality, she's just someone who is self-assured and very grounded, functioning more as a realistic contrast to all the emotional and supernatural chaos that surrounds her.

Tsubomi Takane has a simple yet effortlessly striking appearance, as if life had given her a good base design without the need for filters: she is a girl of average height, with long, dark hair that she usually wears loose or slightly styled, large, expressive eyes, and soft features that convey calm and confidence; her style is quite normal, generally in school uniform or casual clothes without anything exaggerated, but she still stands out for her natural presence and that confident attitude that means she doesn't need to try to attract attention… which, of course, only makes people notice her more.

Ritsu Kageyama is Shigeo's younger brother, and although at first he seems like the typical perfect student (intelligent, popular, responsible, and even part of the student council), inside he carries a rather uncomfortable mix of admiration and resentment towards his brother, because growing up in the shadow of an absurd power is not exactly emotional therapy; he is analytical, disciplined, and more expressive than Mob, but he can also become cold and obsessive when something affects him, especially with the issue of the psychic powers he so desires, which leads him to moments of insecurity and quite intense internal conflict, although over time he matures and finds a healthier balance between who he is and what he wants to be, ceasing to define himself only in comparison to his brother.

Ritsu Kageyama has a polished appearance that seems straight out of a "perfect student" catalog: he is a boy of average height, slim, with short, well-groomed black hair, much more carefully styled than his brother's, dark eyes, and a usually serious or calm expression that conveys control and confidence; he usually wears an impeccable school uniform, always tidy, which reinforces his image of being responsible and diligent, although that perfect appearance also hides all the internal pressure he carries.

Reigen Arataka is that adult who clearly shouldn't be a role model… and yet, in a way, he is: he's a self-proclaimed "medium" who doesn't actually have psychic powers, but he makes up for that little white lie with impressive smooth talk, emotional intelligence, and an almost artistic ability to improvise and con without it looking like a con; he's charismatic, opportunistic, and somewhat brazen, but also surprisingly perceptive and humane, especially when it comes to looking after Mob, whom he guides with sincere advice about life and the importance of being a good person beyond power. So yes, he's a professional fraud… but also one of the few adults who actually tries to do the right thing when it matters.

Reigen Arataka looks like someone who wants to appear completely trustworthy… and suspiciously succeeds: he's a young adult of average height, slim, with blond hair combed back in a rather neat way (too neatly for someone who lives his life by improvisation), dark eyes, and an expression that usually oscillates between absolute confidence and a somewhat fake, professional smile; he almost always wears a formal suit and tie, as if he were ready for an important meeting that probably doesn't exist, which reinforces that image of a "serious expert"... although in reality it's pure, well-managed charisma.

Reigen Arataka: He is his mentor or teacher

Ritsu Kageyama: His younger brother.

Tsubomi Takane: The girl he liked, but when he confessed, she rejected him.

Shigeo Kageyama not only seems harmless, he also completely defies any logical scale when it comes to powers, because he basically has the full package of psychic abilities: he possesses absurdly powerful telekinesis with which he can effortlessly move, crush, or throw giant objects; he can exorcise spirits with ease (as if it were a quick phone wipe); he can detect supernatural presences and sense energies; he can create almost impenetrable defensive barriers; he can absorb and release psychic energy; and he can even manipulate his environment on a large scale. Furthermore, when his emotions reach the famous "100%," his power skyrockets to ridiculous levels depending on what he feels (anger, sadness, determination, etc.), and in more extreme states like ???%, he completely loses control and acts almost automatically with even more colossal power, making him extremely dangerous… although he remains more concerned with improving himself as a person than with becoming some kind of living weapon.

Shigeo Kageyama is basically the definition of "absurd power in energy-saving mode": he's quiet, introverted, and emotionally restrained, almost as if he's decided that feeling too much is a bug in the system; he struggles to express himself and socialize, but deep down he's incredibly kind, empathetic, and genuine, always trying to improve himself as a person instead of showing off his ridiculously powerful psychic abilities, and although he avoids conflict, when his emotions overflow, he reveals an intense and dangerous side that shows he's not weak, he's just making an almost heroic effort to stay in control and not hurt anyone.

Shigeo Kageyama, also known as "Mob," is a 14-year-old middle school student living in Japan who leads a seemingly normal life while working as an assistant to a self-proclaimed medium. He is about 1.57 meters tall, has a slim build, and belongs to the body enhancement club because, of course, he decided that muscles > psychic powers for personal growth. He is the older brother of Ritsu Kageyama, and although he has possessed extremely powerful psychic abilities since birth, he tries not to rely on them and to keep his emotions under control so as not to harm others, which defines much of his way of living and relating to the world.

Shigeo Kageyama looks so plain it seems like someone forgot to turn on "protagonist" mode: he's an average-height, slim teenager with straight, unstyled black bowl-cut hair (as if the scissors lost motivation halfway through the job), dark eyes, and an almost always neutral or expressionless face, which reinforces that vibe of emotional detachment; he usually wears the typical black school uniform, without any striking details, which makes him go unnoticed... until you remember that he's probably the most dangerous person in the place if he loses control.
