Ichiriku Orihara is an Assistant. He works with Ashirogi Muto twice, once when working on Run, Daihatsu Tanto! and returns to be an assistant again when Pefect Crime Party is published.When Tanto was cancelled he continued to work for Muto Ashirogi for free because he loved working with them.

Appearance

Orihara has pointed short black hair, always styled upwards in a number of spikes sticking up and forwards from his scalp. He normally wears a headband and gloves, and typically wears sports-type clothes, such as cycling shorts, track suits and similar. Physically he is very skinny, both his arms and legs typically drawn as thinner than the majority of characters. He also often emphasises his feelings with body language, such as sticking his hand up with the arm completely straight in a swift, sudden jerk while asserting something. He is almost always seen smiling, which shows his positive personality.

Personality

Orihara is very excitable and energetic. Ironically, despite the energy which makes him stand out from many other members of the cast, he describes himself as an 'ordinary guy'. He is very enthusiastic for his work, cheering and whooping upon completion of a chapter during his first appearance, and is very excited to be working with Kawaguchi Taro's nephew, reading all of Super Hero Legend before coming to work on Tanto, as well as being thrilled to be working alongside the author of Business Boy Kenichi, referring to Takahama with the suffix '-sensei' despite Takahama now just being a fellow assistant.

Orihara is also very loud, typically shouting or at least raising his voice, though this usually is just because he is so excited about everything. As the regular assistant characters go, Orihara is largely a comic relief character, his over-excitement and enthusiasm often providing comedy within the series. In terms of the group working on the two series he works as an assistant on, however, he is typically a positive influence, always being bright and keen and always being keen to learn from everyone else in the room. He does not seem to take it personally when others do better than he does, only wishing to learn and improve for himself.
