Kusuo Saiki
He is the protagonist of this work. He possesses various psychic powers, but hides them from those around him and lives a low-key life. Although he has a calm and collected personality, he also has a gentle side, such as when he sees someone in trouble and uses his psychic powers to secretly help them.
Origin of his name: Psychics (psychic powers). It literally means what it sounds like.
Nendo Riki
He calls Saiki his "partner" and is a good friend (?). Because he doesn't think about anything, he is the only person whose mind Saiki cannot read telepathically. His intimidating appearance tends to cause classmates to distance themselves from him, but in reality, he lives a life of great loyalty and compassion.
Origin of Name: Psychokinesis (Telekinesis)
Kaido Shun

The beautiful Madonna of PK Academy. Her beauty is so great that she has been proposed to by students from other schools, and even an oil tycoon.
