Kaidou Shun

Kaidou Shun is one of the main protagonists from The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. Since his first year of PK Academy, he developed a chuunibyou syndrome after an encounter with a chuunibyou upperclassman named Mineo Nobuaki (AKA "Aplhonse Calcifer Raiden"). At PK Academy, Shun usually hangs out with Kusuo, Riki, Kineshi, and later his new best friend, Aren (as of Season 1 Episode 17). Though he is blind with romantic feelings, he is the love interest of Yumehara Chiyo, following her break-up with Shinoda Takeru. Shun is a member of the Occult Club, led by Kusuo as the president (formerly Reita).
He was voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki in the Japanese version, who voiced Eugeo in Sword Art Online: Alicization and Yuno in Black Clover, and Micah Solusod in the English version (Funimation dub) who voiced Best Jeanist in My Hero Academia, and later by Zach Aguilar (Netflix dub), who voiced Genos in One Punch Man, Tanjiro Kamado in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, and Riku in Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon. In the live-action version, he was played by Ryo Yoshizawa.
==Appearance==
During his first year at PK Academy, Shun used to have his hair down with his bangs that covered his eyes, as well as wearing a standard male uniform properly. Until he met a chuunibyou Mineo Nobuaki, he changed his appearance of having spiked hair and red bandages to seal his "powers." In addition to his change, he sported a pair of contact lenses and modified his school uniform for his chuunibyou preference. In his casual wear, he usually wears black clothing and gothic accessories.
==Personality==
As a first-year student of PK Academy, Shun was once a shy boy who had no friends until he met an upperclassman who changed his life. After his encounter with Mineo Nobuaki, he caught a "chuunibyou syndrome," as well as developing his split personality. As a typical chuunibyou, Shun has a delusional mind and wild imagination and is self-convinced that if he has his powers of "Black Beat" sealed with his red bandages.
Shun acts like an average teenager whenever his strict mother is around and/or he feels hopeless in situations. Unlike his friends with physical strength such as Aren, Riki, and Kineshi, he is physically weak in sports, including swimming. Shun tends to become confident in front of others. However, he ends up humiliating himself with his weak efforts.
As revealed at the end of Chapter 221, he has a diagram containing 6 other personalities of himself with relationships:

==Trivia==
*His name is derived from the Japanese term for "teleportation" (shunkan ido).
*He is best friends with Kuboyasu Aren and calls him by his first name, indicating a close friendship between them.
*His favorite food is salami.
*Whenever he performs his chuunibyou acts, he has his theme song played, which is called "Judgment Knights of Thunder ~Legendary Hero".
**In Season 2 and Reawakened, a part of another version of Judgment Knights of Thunder is heard playing. This version is called "Judgment Knights of Thunder (Continued) ~End of Oblivion".
*His character song is titled "Bloody Moon", which he sang in Season 1 Episode 18.
*According to Reita, his guardian spirit is a chihuahua.
*His aura is similar to a chipmunk, much to his disappointment and calling Mikoto a "fraud".
*Shun is dishonest with his close friends like Riki and Kusuo when he tried to prevent his little brother Toki (who truly believes in his chuunibyou antics) from stating false facts about the former, such as the invention of a light bulb, though it was first created by Thomas Edison and Lewis Latimer during the Industrial Revolution.
*Based on Rifuta Imu's analysis on Season 2 Episode 16, Shun is considered a D+ boyfriend material to her, due to his childish behavior and lack of extraordinary qualities.
*In Chapter 221 of the manga, or Season 2 Episode 20 of the anime, one of his various personalities, Jin, makes his debut under Mikoto, appearing as Shun (using Kusuo's hypnosis).
*Along with Toritsuka Reita (not counting his ability to summon a spirit), he is one of Kusuo's close friends/nuisances who is physically weak in sports.
*He shares the same Japanese and English voice actors (Nobunaga Shimazaki and Micah Solusod) as Yuno from Black Clover.
*His appearance of having light-blue wavy hair and red eyes greatly resembles Sakata Gintoki from Hideaki Sorachi's Gintama, another series from Weekly Shonen Jump.
