Meet the characters from Mob Psycho 100

Dimple

Oh man, Dimple is such a chaotic little spirit — slick, charming, and kind of a shameless opportunist, always ready to hitch a ride on someone else’s success. He flirts with grand schemes and cult-leader energy but then melts into being oddly sincere when it suits him, which is both annoying and adorable. He’ll sell you a prophecy and then help you move furniture the next day, like… pick a lane, buddy. Also, he has weird taste in snacks? I swear he once praised gummy candies as a “soul tonic” — may or may not be true.

Tome Kurata

Tome is the pure, relentless heart of the Telepathy Club — hyper-enthusiastic, totally single-minded about ghost-hunting, and somehow both charmingly naive and kind of terrifying in her determination. She recruits people with pamphlets and cosplay energy, and I love that she treats paranormal clubs like a full-time mission. She can be a tiny bit oblivious to normal social cues but she’s ferociously loyal, and she keeps notebooks with color-coded names and definitely too many stickers. Also she’s probably the one who would bring thermos soup to midnight stakeouts, no questions asked.

Musashi Goda

Musashi is loud, proud, samurai-influenced muscle energy — hot-headed, dramatic, and 110% lived-in honor code, even if that code sometimes changes depending on his mood. He’s protective to a fault and will challenge anyone who insults his friends, even if he apologizes later with some overly formal bow or a weird handwritten haiku. He can be a bit goofy and has an inexplicable obsession with training rituals (rice, ramen, repeat), but he’s got a surprising soft spot for animals, and yes, he definitely cries at sappy movies.

Toichiro Suzuki

Toichiro is this brooding, scarred leader with a weirdly tragic charisma — calm, terrifyingly focused, and carrying this whole narrative of pain and purpose like it’s a cloak. He radiates this “I’ll remake the world” vibe but also has moments where he’s almost tender, which makes him dangerously unpredictable. He’s the kind of person who reads philosophy at 3 a.m. and then knocks over a vending machine because of a principle, so imagine that. Also fun fact: he probably hoards old cassette tapes for sentimental reasons, maybe.

Sho Suzuki

Sho is the wild card little brother turned menace — childlike and feral in the worst ways, with a hunger for power that’s both petty and cosmic. He swings between being eerily innocent and horrifyingly cruel, which makes every scene with him nails-on-chalkboard tense. He collects things — trophies, grudges, tiny broken toys — and arranges them like a shrine, which is kind of heartbreaking and creepy at once. Oh and he smells like weird cologne? No idea where that came from but I can picture it.

Arataka Reigen

Reigen is peak con-man-turned-mentor; smooth-talking, morally flexible on paper, and secretly the most competent chaos manager you’ll meet. He’ll sell you a “spirit-cleansing” for cheap and then actually solve your problem with common sense and a weirdly practical solution, which is the best. He loves making up business jargon, is terrible with receipts and taxes, and genuinely cares about morale — yes, the same guy who eats instant noodles like it’s a sacrament. Also, he pretends not to be nice but he’s soft as a marshmallow inside, don’t tell him I said that.

Katsuya Serizawa

Serizawa is this terrifying, unstable force who went from bullied kid to explosive esper and never quite got the memo to calm down; silent, grim, and absolutely not someone you want to bump into on a bad day. He’s got that “keep your distance” vibe but he’s also painfully human — he hums pop songs under his breath and doodles in margins when he’s not brooding. He can flip from remote to furious in a heartbeat, which is both heartbreaking and terrifying, and he’s terrible at small talk but maybe great at cooking? I feel like he’d make suspiciously good curry.

Teruki Hanazawa

Teru starts off polished, super composed, and borderline aristocratic in his psychic pride, then slowly becomes that classy kick-ass friend who still irons his shirts but punches despair in the face. He’s proud and dramatic but also embarrassingly soft for his close circle; think elegant fortress with a teddy bear inside. He’s annoyingly competent at everything he tries — music, fashion, fighting — like, obnoxiously perfect, but also very capable of going full soft mode and making you tea at 2 a.m. Also he loves neat handwriting and will correct your notes, whether you asked him to or not.

Ritsu Kageyama

Ritsu is the quietly intense brainiac who keeps it low-key until emotion forces him to explode (in the sappy, protective way), very much the serious little brother with secret hero vibes. He’s intelligent, responsible, and a bit of a control freak about machinery and schedules, but there’s this smoldering longing under the surface that makes his rare breaks of emotion hit like freight trains. He collects tiny tools and has a drawer full of spare screws and clearly an emergency plan for everything; also, he blushes if you compliment his coding.

Shigeo Kageyama

Mob is the most pure, awkward, and quietly powerful guy — infinitely kind, painfully ordinary-looking, and absolutely terrifying when his feelings overflow. He wants a normal life (like, deeply), but he’s sitting on this cosmic pressure-cooker of psychic energy that makes him both gentle and apocalyptic depending on the day. He loves small, mundane pleasures — dumplings, simple conversations, doing his best — and yet the moment he hits 100% it’s like emotional supernova, which is wild and a little tragic. Also he’s weirdly into productivity stickers? Don’t judge, it helps him keep his cool.
