Description \ Bio

Arataka Reigen is Mob's mentor and boss. He is the self-proclaimed "Greatest Psychic of the 21st Century" as well as owner and operator of the Spirits and Such Consultation Office. He is the deuteragonist of the series. Reigen is a tall man with dark brown eyes and short, reddish-blond hair with messy bangs. He is also very vibrant with his facial expressions ranging anywhere from attractive to terrifying, and he tends to sweat profusely. He is usually shown wearing a dark grey business suit with a pink or black tie, though he has also worn such outfits as a sweatsuit, a tank top with shorts, and a complete high school girls' uniform. Still, that revealed that he also has relatively hairy legs. Reigen has few to no qualms about manipulating clients, enemies, allies, and even spirits to his own advantage. Later in the series, he feels guilty about manipulating Mob in particular. The gift of the gab or conversation is his specialty. Throughout the series, he has been shown to remain composed in almost any situation, and he is extremely reluctant to admit to his own mistakes. He is very careful during his investigations, and he often confuses his adversaries by announcing his next action aloud and then doing something different. Reigen seems to be a man guided by principles and is very socially and emotionally intelligent. He believes hurting others is wrong and reminds Mob of that often, demonstrating his honorable and noble side covered by his shady business. When he entered the Claw headquarters, the subordinates found him to be a very kind and honorable man, and even after they realized he wasn't "The Boss", they still commented on his wise and caring nature. He is even willing to carry some of Mob's burden if it means the boy will suffer less, showing that he does care about those close to him, and even tells Mob he didn't have to stoop to their level and fight because he knows Mob would be hurting, showing he doesn't want Mob to feel pain. He is clever and agile, often taking action with his special techniques at critical moments. He is also a very intelligent man, capable of analyzing a person's psychology fairly well and giving advice to several people, which makes them better individuals, such as the members of Claw. While he doesn't have supernatural powers, his keen intellect and ability to read people is so strong it can mimic, if not surpass real espers. Notably, he was the only one of the many espers who were assigned to eliminate the evil spirit possessing Minori Asagiri who didn't believe her lies. While the other espers believed it was simply the father attempting to control her and using the claims of an "evil spirit" as an excuse to justify his behavior, Reigen was able to notice things wrong with what Mogami said, such as switching from "papa" to "father", and calling Reigen a psychic despite not introducing himself beforehand. Because of this, Mogami abandoned his charade and attacked the espers. Despite his status as a con artist, he often gives at least some sort of procedure or "spiritual cleansing" for whoever requests them. While his psychic powers are fake, he does take his job seriously and actually does, in fact, solve his clients problems. This is often done by simply listening to his clients and offering them a form of assurance and security. He also takes care to always solve his clients problems, offering refunds and refusing rewards if the job goes poorly. He does this both out of integrity and because failing to do this will only cause him issues such as his clients realizing he is a fraud. When one of his clients says some fortune teller told them spiritual negativity enveloped their shoulders, but only offered the words and didn't provide any actual service to the client, Reigen found it disgusting and stupid. Adding to that, his "spiritual cleansings" have been shown to relax his clients greatly, and many remarks on how they feel much better, demonstrating his abilities as an expert masseur. He is shown to easily sense Mob's emotional state despite his student's stoic appearance and is quick to listen to Mob's problems and offer him advice. When Mob is training for a school marathon, Reigen immediately steps up to help him train, showing that despite his occasionally selfish tendencies, Reigen cares greatly about him even if there is nothing for him to gain. When he was publicly humiliated on TV and his career as a 'psychic' diminished, Reigen's biggest fear was being hated by Mob. But when Mob told Reigen that he considers him a nice person, Reigen felt relieved and happy that Mob doesn't hate him. He finds all people to be equal, no matter what kind of abilities they have, and thus, he believes that those with psychic abilities who claim themselves to be "superior" are simply detached from the real world. Even when he gained phenomenal psychic abilities, he scoffed at them as no big deal. His relationship with Mob has changed him, making him a better person. Reigen was about to quit his job and do something else, but at that time, he met Mob. Despite initially wanting to give him improvised advice so he could get rid of him, Reigen hired him as his personal assistant after witnessing Mob's psychic power. After a couple of years of working together, their relationship became close, with Mob looking up to him as a mentor, while Reigen sees Mob as someone he can actually help and support whenever he needs it. However, over the course of the story, Reigen becomes too dependent on Mob and doesn't want him to leave him behind, so he begins to summon him out of the blue, a thing that starts to anger Mob, causing him to abandon him eventually, something that affected Reigen more than he thought. But Reigen briefly demonstrated that he could actually manage his own business without the help of Mob. This proves that underneath his manipulative side, the reason why he felt he needed Mob is that Reigen sees him as the first friend he's had in his life and doesn't want to feel alone anymore, and feels proud of Mob because he was able to move on and have a private life. In contrast, Reigen's life is absolutely about his job, to the point of telling Mob in a press conference that he's grown up a lot. After these events, both reconciled and fixed their relationship. Reigen cares very much for Mob, to the point of taking a gun with him and standing in front of Toichiro Suzuki despite having no psychic powers, showing that he will put his life on the line to protect Mob.
