ABOUT
Saiki Kusuo is the main protagonist of the series who has all kinds of ESP-related abilities. He usually tries to avoid getting into troublesome situations. His trademark appearances contain his green-tinted glasses and two pink antennas located slightly above each ear, which have the function of limiting his power. In the beginning, he was always seen alone but as the story progresses he eventually gets along with his schoolmates, especially Riki and Shun. Kusuo was starred by Yamazaki Kento in the live action of the series.
Kusuo wears a limiter on both sides of his head which is never removed unless it is absolutely necessary or by accident. 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. However, there are times he is forced to buy clothes since his mother has an interesting taste in clothing patterns.
As a Psi user, Kusuo is usually emotionless and restrains himself from having any friends, preferring to do whatever it takes to not to be associated with others so that he doesn't expose his powers. Due to this, he has never spoken using his voice, instead preferring to project his words via telepathy into the minds of others. Although he didn't have any friends the first year, during his 2nd year, a lot of his classmates like Riki, Shun, Kineshi, Aren, Kokomi, Chiyo, Reita, and Mikoto kept on bugging him and somehow changed his perspective. He later thought of himself as a friend of theirs and even outwardly called Shun his friend.
Although he doesn't express much interest in many things due to his powers, Kusuo is addicted to the dessert known as coffee jelly and can be persuaded to participate in anything his friends are in as long as he receives his coffee jelly. His addiction is not just limited to coffee jelly but also to different kinds of sweets. Despite being able to get anything he wants without using any money, Kusuo uses money and saves up money to buy something he wants, like the Coffee Jelly Maker. His kind mom is the sole reason why he doesn't abuse his psychic abilities for evil activities. Kusuo also has an interest in television shows, due to electronics (unless he uses his psychometry) being unaffected by his powers, allowing him to enjoy dramas/scenes that prevent the use of his telepathy which leaves him open to spoilers from the thoughts of others.
