Rikuto Ikeda

Rikuto Ikeda was one of the three first students in Gakuhō Asano's cram school 10 years prior to the Assassination Classroom series along with Nakai and Mori.

Ikeda was a lively student who was taught by his teacher to be a good student. During his time in the cram school, Ikeda often tried various ways to skip class, but was foiled each time by Asano. In spite of this, the two built a strong positive relationship between them. Ikeda also reveal his dream that he want to be a Basketball Player in the future which Asano support his dream to the future. Three years later in high school, Ikeda committed suicide due to extensive bullying by his peers in his high school basketball team when Asano discovered his house has a funeral after he bought a basketball for Ikeda when he payed a visit to his house. The incident drove Asano to become the cold manipulative man he is by the time of the series and changed his whole education philosophy to raise "strong" students.
