Riko Ikari, the Ultimate Translator, is the best known translator in not just Japan, but the entire world! If you ever had an interest in learning languages you had to have heard the name “Riko Ikari” at least once! His National Title as the “world class Ultimate Translator” gave him his first class ticket to Hope's Peak Academy, earning him the official “Ultimate Translator” title. Riko is a very talkative and mostly friendly individual. As a child, Riko and his father had to move place to place almost around the globe because of his father's work, due to this, Riko had to pick up many languages to learn in order to properly interact with his current peers before he had to move to the next country. Because of this, Riko managed to learn over 20-30 languages from across the world. But sadly for him, there was a downside, during his childhood Riko never really had the time to form serious relationships then the average child, causing Riko to grow up lonely and felt a bit isolated. Riko hopes that his acceptance at this amazing school will be able to help him form these skills that he missed out on and maybe even make long lasting memories.
