Shigeo Kageyama



Shigeo Kageyama (影山茂夫 Kageyama Shigeo), nicknamed "Mob" (モブ) is the main protagonist of the Mob Psycho 100 series, as well as assistant and disciple of Arataka Reigen.

Appearance
Mob has dark bowl-shaped hair. He is usually seen wearing the Salt Middle male uniform, the typical gakuran outfit. Mob has a rather bored expression on his face.

Personality
As a child, Mob learned that his psychic power was linked to his emotions. Strong negative emotions can cause him to hurt others, something he strongly dislikes and avoids (as shown in the Brotherly Love arc where, after going 100, he hurts several teenagers). Therefore, he generally tries to keep his emotions in check.

He is also rather socially awkward. He is incapable of "reading the atmosphere," which has lead to him having a lack of friends.

However, Mob is very compassionate. He is forgiving, kind, and helpful. He tries to be kind to others in many instances. In the Mogami Keiji Arc, he lives for half a year in a fantasy world created by the bitter, former psychic, Mogami Keiji. There, he is friendless, without a family or anything else. Despite that, it takes great emotional manipulation, along with physical harm, for Mogami to make Mob become angered with his tormentors. Even then, he wants to offer them forgiveness.
