Kenichi Saruyama

Kenichi Saruyama is a supporting character of To Love-Ru. He is the perverted best friend and school mate of Rito. He has known him since junior high and is more open and obvious of his obsession with girls and is one of the few male characters Rito can talk to about his situations involving Haruna or Lala. He is aware of Rito's feelings for Haruna and consistently advises he get together with her. Saruyama reveals that he has a crush on a girl named Yūsaki Riko, but does not realize she is actually Rito, who is accidentally transformed into a girl by one of Lala's bizarre inventions.

Being one of the few significant male characters of the series, Saruyama's role is generally that of a luckless loser who desires but never gets a girl, and an underdog to the more popular male protagonist.

Why He Sucks:

 * 1) He's an unfunny comic relief despite being Rito's best friend, he is very even more annoying and perverted than the Principal.
 * 2) He is no less of a pervert and a loser around the girls.
 * 3) He is even more annoying than Rito.
 * 4) He is a terrible boyfriend.

The Only 2 Redeeming Qualities:

 * 1) His voice acting is good.
 * 2) He sometimes doesn't bother other girls.
