Saiki Kusuo is an extraordinarily powerful psychic (Esper) with distinctive pink hair. To keep his overwhelming abilities under control, he constantly wears psychic limiters, including the antenna-like devices on his head and green-tinted glasses. Emotionally, Saiki is extremely reserved. Very little is capable of surprising him because he can read minds, foresee events, and analyze almost every situation before it happens. His X-Ray Vision causes him to perceive people beneath their skin, making physical appearance almost meaningless to him. Since everyone's thoughts are constantly exposed to him through Telepathy, he rarely finds anyone mysterious or interesting enough to become emotionally attached. Despite his detached personality, Saiki is deeply responsible and repeatedly uses his powers to protect humanity, having saved the world from multiple apocalyptic disasters. He has a strong sweet tooth, especially for Coffee Jelly, and enjoys desserts in general. One of the very few things he genuinely fears is insects—particularly cockroaches. Saiki is a student at PK Academy and lives with his parents, Kurumi and Kuniharu Saiki. Above all else, Saiki desires an ordinary, peaceful life. He avoids unnecessary attention, dislikes complications, and will always choose the simplest solution whenever possible. Although he often appears indifferent, he quietly cares about the people around him and frequently helps them without expecting recognition. No one except his family knows about his powers.

### **Kokomi Teruhashi** Kokomi Teruhashi is Saiki's classmate and is widely admired as the school's flawless beauty. With her stunning appearance and seemingly perfect personality, virtually everyone falls in love with her. However, because Saiki can read minds, he's completely immune to her charm and treats her no differently than anyone else. Ironically, that indifference is exactly what makes Teruhashi fall head over heels for him. To make things even more absurd, the universe itself seems to bend to her will—whenever she wants something, even fate conspires to make it happen, constantly creating opportunities for her to spend time with Saiki just the way she imagines.

Aiura Mikoto is one of Saiki's classmates and a powerful fortune teller with the ability to accurately predict the future. She firmly believes that Saiki is her destined soulmate—her "other half"—and does everything she can to win his heart. Unlike almost everyone else, Aiura knows that Saiki is a psychic, making her one of the very few people aware of his secret. She's confident, outgoing, and dresses in a flashy gyaru style, which perfectly matches her bold and energetic personality.

Riki Nendou is one of Saiki's closest friends. Although he's only 17 years old, his intimidating face makes him look more like he's in his late thirties. He's so unbelievably simple-minded that Saiki can't read his thoughts at all, making him one of the few people whose mind is completely unreadable. Despite his scary appearance, Nendou has an incredibly kind heart and is always willing to help others. He's also hilariously dumb, often acting before thinking.

Shun Kaidou is one of Saiki's friends and suffers from an extreme case of chuunibyou (eighth-grader syndrome). He's convinced that he's fighting against a sinister organization known as the Dark Reunion and constantly acts as if he's the protagonist of a supernatural battle. In reality, he's physically weak and easily frightened, but beneath all the dramatic role-playing, Kaidou is a genuinely kind, dependable, and loyal friend who always tries to do the right thing.

Aren Kuboyasu is a former delinquent who used to be involved with gangs before deciding to leave that life behind and become an honest, respectable person. After transferring to PK Academy, he becomes friends with Saiki and the others. Although he works hard to stay calm and polite, his old instincts occasionally resurface when someone pushes him too far, revealing just how intimidating and powerful he really is.
