Rikka Takanashi is the main heroine of the light novel and Kyoto Animation-adapted TV series Love, Chuunibyou, and Other Delusions!. She is a high school student who suffers from the titular "Chuunibyou disease", a term loosely translated as "eighth-grader syndrome" and is characterized by delusions of grandeur. Rikka possesses the powerful "Tyrant's Eye" ("Wicked Eye" in some translations), which is in reality her right eye worn in yellow contact lenses and covered with an eyepatch for "sealing its power". She becomes attached to the protagonist Yuuta Togashi after she becomes his classmate in high school, much to his frustration.

Season 1 spoilers

It's later revealed that Rikka's chuunibyou persona is actually a coping mechanism for her father's untimely death while she was younger. She was inspired to take her own personality after she was inspired by Yuuta's "Dark Flame Master" persona.

ISML Profile Flavor Text (May contain spoilers)

ISML profile picture What the mortal eye sees is a mundane, tranquil world. What the Wicked Eye sees is a vast, exotic land filled with extraordinary ideas and concepts, and the only one who can see this is the wielder of the Wicked Eye herself: . A bicycle turns into a motorbike that travels at mach speed. An umbrella turns into a gun-blade twice Rikka's size. A spice rack in a grocery store is a laboratory filled with strange, mystical potions. These are some of the things that only Rikka can see. As much of a gift as the Wicked Eye is, it is also a curse. Because she is the only one who can see this, no one is able to understand her or realize what she is going through. She walks alone in this mystic realm with no one to call a friend, no one to consider a companion, no one to go back to as a guardian. Yet, Rikka continues to search for the Ethereal Horizon, a realm where she can be herself, where she can find the true peace she has always longed for. If the path to that place is filled with thorns, then so be it.

History

A proud member of the KyoAni faction, Rikka is a powerhouse contestant in the International Saimoe League, where she won the Fall 2012 seasonal diadem and two necklace awards, as well as reaching the quarter-finals twice (2018 and 2019).

She has appeared in the contest's playoffs in all editions except 2016. Rikka secured her place as a powerhouse contestant at the wake of the Chuunibyou movie's release in 2018, establishing a reputation as a "sniper" due to her tendency to score upsets against tiara contenders in the playoffs, most notably scoring the first-ever #16 vs #1 victory in the playoffs against Yukino in 2019. Since then she has won one more necklace in 2020.

r/anime record

On the other hand, Rikka is a relatively weaker contestant in r/anime's Best Girl Contest, where she appeared in the round of 64 in its first two editions. She made history in Best Girl 7 by becoming the first girl to eliminate a Top 8-seeded girl in Round 3 after she defeated #7 Kei Shirogane as a #135 seed. Rikka secured a tournament-best #32 seed in Best Girl 8, but was eliminated yet again in the fourth round, this time by Konosuba's Yunyun.
