Description
Riko Saikawa, a third-grade student at Oborozuka Elementary School, initially clashes with Kanna Kamui out of jealousy over her instant popularity. This rivalry evaporates when Kanna extends a friendly gesture, sparking Riko’s fervent romantic feelings. Kanna’s affectionate touches or compliments provoke dramatic responses—flushed cheeks, high-pitched squeals, or gleeful giggles punctuated by her signature "bohehehe."

Academically gifted and athletically adept, Riko dominates karate tournaments yet grapples with teamwork early on, gradually learning collaboration. Her household features a cheerful mother, a father in traditional attire enforcing discipline, and an older sister, Sanae, who dotes on her in maid costumes, nurturing Riko’s refined manners.

Her journey transitions from bold challenges to heartfelt vulnerability. Early impulsiveness—like confronting Kanna without knowing her dragon origins—softens into devoted protectiveness. She openly proclaims her wish to marry Kanna, reciprocated in spin-offs like *Kanna’s Daily Life*, where their bond flourishes through snowball fights, school projects, and playful rivalries.

Polite yet mistaken in assuming Kobayashi is Kanna’s mother, Riko approaches Tohru warily and initially shrinks from Fafnir. She bonds tentatively with Ilulu over shared impulsiveness, accepting dragons unconsciously—a source of chaos, as when Elma’s true form bewilders her classmates.

Wavy brown hair frames her prominent forehead and dark green eyes. She sports a bunny-emblazoned light-green shirt, orange skirt, and green shoes, her 125 cm frame (62-50-52 cm) adapting attire to settings.

Nicknamed "Boheko-chan" in spin-offs for her exaggerated reactions, expanded media highlights her loyalty and maturing empathy. Stories balance comedic outbursts with sincere care, cementing her growth from a competitive loner to a cherished friend.
