He is also known for being an 'internet sex symbol' as a meme. Additionally, multiple interviews with various people on the team (most notably character designer Yoshimichi Kameda and the paint-on-glass guest animator Miyo Sato) showed the lengths to which they went to make him sexy and also how sexy they personally found him. However, when it was adapted for anime by Studio BONES, Reigen was animated to be very flamboyant, and there were a lot of shots where he is animated really sexily, like you can just TELL the animators were horny, and the fans caught on. In the original MP100 manga, no one was really drawn sexy, Reigen being no exception. Despite his job description, he is a kind and well-meaning person who does genuinely try to help people, and somehow ends up sort of rounding up a whole team of psychic middle schoolers. He is a con artist, a fake psychic who does fake exorcisms, but uses Mob, a real psychic, to take care of real exorcisms. Reigen is the 28-year old mentor figure to Shigeo, or Mob, the protagonist of MP100.
