So... in Kirigaoka's page it says a teacher there came up with a thesis saying that most animals can't become espers because you need the capacity brain power of a 5 year old to become an esper while most animals have the brain power of a 2 year old.

This makes me wonder two things:

1. Is Kihara Noukan an esper? He is smart enough to become one even if he is a Golden Retriever because of his external arithmetic circuits. Noukan wouldn't be the first Esper Kihara, we already have Kihara Nayuta as a level 4 from the Fan Fare with Mikoto Vs. Gunha after all (which is canon). I feel like Noukan is smarter than Kihara Yuiitsu, is relatively mature, and probably more powerful than Nayuta because he's the most influential Kihara (if he is an esper). In this case, could he be the #6? It would explain why no one knows where the #6's whereabouts are.

2. The only way I could see a Golden Retriever being the most influential Kihara in so many different fields is if that Golden Retriever actually were an esper. Right? Otherwise how could he do anything. Maybe he isn't the #6, but I at least feel like he's powerful, probably or that he has a strong ability for manipulating others maybe? I feel like there might be a small possibility of him being #6 though since we saw the fake #6 in this book. Misaki says she knows the real #6... she also can't control animals... He would be immune to her in that case... Maybe he is a dog in actuality, but he can transform his appearance to that of a person  if he's an esper? They said: even the #6 is a human, right? Maybe that's a hint Kamachi subtly gave us?
