Meet the characters from Mob Psycho 100

Dimple

Okay, Dimple is peak chaotic spirit energy — like, he starts as this low-level evil spirit with delusions of grandeur and then somehow becomes a hapless self-help guru? He’s loud, theatrical, and will absolutely try to possess you if there’s a spotlight or a marketing angle involved. Delightfully slippery about loyalties (one minute enemy, next minute copy-cat motivational speaker), he’s always scheming but kind of lovable despite himself. Also he totally has a soft spot for ramen or pudding? I’m pretty sure it’s pudding but also maybe ramen, who even knows.

Tome Kurata

Tome is the queen of the Telepathy/Esper Club and the world’s biggest fangirl, in the best way — so earnest it hurts sometimes. She organizes dossiers, stakeouts, and little heart-fluttering meetups like it’s a full-time mission (and honestly, she treats it like it is). Super passionate, hyper-focused, and somehow both adorable and intimidating when she’s on the hunt for a real psychic (also she hoards stationery, I’m not kidding). She can be kind of dramatic and also painfully practical, which is a weirdly great combo.

Musashi Goda

Musashi—big, brash, full-throttle muscle dude who’s all about self-improvement and sparring (think a walking gym poster with feelings). He looks like he eats boulders for breakfast but then he’ll fangirl about something soft and tiny, like a plush toy or a classic manga panel, and you’re like, wait what? Loyal to friends, stubborn as a truck, and more nuanced than his biceps let on; he’s not just strength, there’s pride and awkward sweet moments. Probably collects training stamps or motivational quotes in a secret notebook (don’t ask, I saw it once).

Toichiro Suzuki

Toichiro is cold, cerebral, and absolutely the sinister mastermind energy of Claw — like calm ocean surface, nuclear reactor underneath. He has that quiet, scary gravitas where one small gesture wrecks an entire room, and his backstory gives you weird sympathy even while he’s doing villain things (don’t get soft, but also get soft, ugh). He’s ruthless in pursuit of his philosophy, but also poetic? There’s a weird softness in how he talks about “worlds” and “people,” which makes him more complicated than a standard boss-bad guy. Also maybe he grows bonsai when not plotting—totally could be true.

Sho Suzuki

Sho feels like the entitled, sharp-edged heir but with actual emotional layers — flashy, clever, and kind of brittle under all that polish. He’s the sort of antagonist who makes you roll your eyes and then, two episodes later, you catch yourself worrying about him (don’t judge). Tactical, stylish, and a little theatrical, he’s someone who wants to be feared and understood at the same time (which is awkward in family meetings). Probably has expensive taste and a surprisingly small collection of plushies? Slightly suspicious but also oddly sympathetic.

Arataka Reigen

Reigen is the best fake psychic who somehow works as legit human therapy — con artist on paper, actual moral compass in practice, and honestly one of the most comforting trainwrecks. He gives pep talks like it’s his job (which, well, it is), charges weird fees, and will sell you sage advice with a side of immediate nonsense, but when push comes to shove he actually helps people. Charming, opportunistic, and secretly very decent — he’s that annoying uncle who’s always right in the emotional way. Also he loves a good ramen bowl and will absolutely lie about doing his taxes.

Katsuya Serizawa

Serizawa is the terrifying-then-heartbreaking powerhouse — this guy starts off as a serious threat and then becomes one of the most tragic, redeemed figures in the crew. Quiet, hulking, and obviously carrying a mountain of trauma; his interior life is messy and painful, which makes every small kindness toward him feel huge. He’s got this gruff, stony exterior but also tragic hobbies? (I might be making that up — maybe he collects weird rocks or writes bad poetry, idk). When he cracks a smile—rarely—it’s a full-on event.

Teruki Hanazawa

Teru is the polished rival-turned-precious-bestie; think immaculate hair, imperial posture, and hidden soft-core hobbyism (like he probably volunteers at a music shop on Sundays, don’t fact-check me). He starts off arrogant, convinced of his superiority, and then gets taken down a peg (in the best storyline way) and becomes genuinely noble and earnest. He’s cool, stylish, fiercely protective of his friends, and has a surprisingly nerdy streak under all the preppy vibes. Also possibly allergic to bad fashion choices — aggressively so.

Ritsu Kageyama

Ritsu is the quiet-note-taking little brother who’s actually a walking storm of suppressed desire to be noticed (so relatable and also kind of sad). He’s organized, sharp, and very good at pretending nothing much happens — then when he starts to crack, the complexity pours out and it’s intense. He’s the “I’m okay” type but also curious, scientific, and deeply loyal; he keeps weird little collections (stamps? stationery? secret robots?), and he’s surprisingly brave in the soft way. Also has a weird interest in gadgets and spy-level planning; please send him a tiny hat.

Shigeo Kageyama

Mob is simultaneously the calmest kid ever and an absolute apocalypse waiting to happen when emotions overflow — like, he wants vanilla pudding and normalcy but is capable of rewriting reality if pushed. Gentle, shy, morally steady, and hilariously unassuming, he’s got this whole “power doesn’t equal desire” thing down, which is the point but also heartbreaking. He obsesses over small things (cleaning, friendship, maybe salt or something mundane — the show really leans into his tiny pleasures), and his growth is less about flashy fights and more about feeling things. He’s a soft giant with an emotional meter you do not want to max out, but you kind of want to hug him even when he does.
