Reita Toritsuka, a student endowed with the ability to perceive and communicate with spirits, stands among the rare few aware of Kusuo Saiki’s psychic talents. Driven by a relentless pursuit of romantic attention from girls, often sidelining ethical boundaries in the process, he exploits his supernatural gift for personal agendas. His efforts, however, are frequently thwarted by spirits like the lingering ghost of Nendou Riki’s father, whose presence complicates his schemes. Toritsuka’s relationship with Saiki is fraught with friction, stemming from Saiki’s disdain for his irresponsible power usage and manipulative habits. For instance, after briefly acquiring Toritsuka’s ghost-seeing ability through touch, Saiki weaponizes it to expose his shortcomings—taunting him with food during a Buddhist fasting ritual to highlight his lack of self-restraint. These clashes underscore Toritsuka’s habitual prioritization of fleeting desires over principled discipline. Toritsuka’s underdeveloped backstory positions him as a comedic counterpoint to Saiki’s no-nonsense demeanor. His pursuits often backfire, summoning troublesome spirits or inciting Saiki’s warnings against his recklessness. Yet he remains an enduring fixture in Saiki’s world, his antics amplifying the absurdity of balancing supernatural phenomena with ordinary adolescent life. His portrayal remains steadfastly static across adaptations, maintaining his identity as a morally opportunistic figure whose clashes with entities like Nendou’s spectral parent reinforce his narrative function: channeling the ludicrous interplay between the spiritual and the everyday.
