Katsuya Serizawa

Katsuya Selizawa is an extremely powerful Esper, a part of the Super 5 and member of Claw.

Appearance
Selizawa is a man of average height and build. He has curly black hair, somewhat heavy eyebrows, a thin mustache, and stubble. He wears a medium-grey jacket over a black shirt, along with black pants and foam clogs. He carries his white umbrella with him at all times.

Personality
Selizawa is very sheltered and naive. He placed all his trust in Touichirou Suzuki and looked up to him as a personal savior, following his orders without question. His face tends to clearly reflect his emotions. If he is separated from his umbrella, he panics and completely loses control of his psychic power, which causes heavy damage to his surroundings. He is haunted by a deep fear of his own power.

History
When Selizawa was 12 years old, he was so afraid of his uncontrollable psychic power that he locked himself in his bedroom and refused to leave. Afraid that he may hurt people by accident, and without anyone to help him learn about his powers, he stayed there for 15 years. Touichirou Suzuki finally coaxed him to leave (and by doing so, join Claw) by offering him an umbrella and encouraging him to view it as an extension of his room. Selizawa followed him, hoping to learn to control his powers and rejoin society. Instead, Suzuki used him to further the aims of Claw, leaving him and his well-being utterly dependent on both Suzuki and his umbrella. Selizawa viewed Claw as a company, Suzuki as the president, and himself as an employee.

After hearing his story, Mob bluntly told Selizawa that he was being used. When he tried to argue in his own defense, Mob bluntly told him that he was following the wrong person. He made a token attempt to fight Mob, using his umbrella as both a weapon and a shield, but was eventually won over by the sincerity and empathy of Mob's 100% Friendship.

He later used his umbrella to save Reigen from Suzuki's wrath. Suzuki retaliated by blasting Selizawa with psychic energy until his umbrella was torn to shreds, then draining Selizawa's power to use for himself.

Powers & Abilities
Selizawa has extremely powerful psychokinesis, which he either imbues into his umbrella to form a shield or emits through his umbrella as an attack. Without the umbrella, he is unable to control his power.
