Reika Kusunoki (楠木 麗華, Kusunoki Reika) is the manager and Kendo athlete of Seirin High and previously the assistant manager of Generation Miracles at Teikō Junior High. She is also Ryōta Kise’s childhood friend.
Appearance[]
Reika is a teenage girl with golden brown eyes, long beige-colored hair with v bangs which she often tied into a high ponytail with a white and black ribbon. She has a slender, voluptuous figure that Riko described as "amazing”. Her most common attire is her school outfit, which consists of a white shirt; a white short skirt; and a sailor necktie with a matching white high stocking that reaches over-knee, added with brown shoes. She is also seen wearing a kendo uniform.
Personality[]
Having been raised in a shrine, her personality is discipline and temperateness. As such, she had a hard time socializing with other kids (other boys made fun of her for being boyish) so she had virtually no friends, except for Kise who thought of her as a cute girl and helped her out by chasing those boys away whenever she was being mocked. Although she has been training kendo (which emphasizes obtaining self-control as with most other forms of martial arts) she is somewhat emotionally unstable, often resorting to be controlled by her own strength rather than controlling it herself, especially when she gains a new power.
As Seirin High’s basketball team manager, she feels responsible for making her school wins every championship. This allows her to act and think intelligently, planning ahead her moves to avoid trouble, up to the point where she can be very prideful with her decisions. However, she considers that the defeated Seirin at Interhigh Final League is purely her fault. She usually wants to be scorned or punished for her mistakes and feels worse when she isn't. Riko and Seirin Team say that is no problem, but she does not accept their kindness because she thought that they forgive it easily.
She has very little confidence in her looks and being feminine. She always feels uncomfortable when she has to wear revealing and/or feminine clothes like dresses (a fact she's well aware of). She also becomes quite shy when Kise looks at her or compliments her. She also likes seeing Kise in suits, to the point where can lose all her rage in a instant and finds it troublesome just trying to look at him directly.
