Item

ITEM is a group that consists of 4 girls, with the 4th Level 5 Mugino Shizuri as the leader. They are rivals with SCHOOL.

Despite having a Level 5, the most important person in ITEM is Takitsubo Rikou, due to her ability to find other espers and take initiative in attacks. Superior firepower from having a Level 5 can be matched using other means, but a tracker like Rikou is near irreplaceable.

Chronologically, ITEM first appears in the Railgun manga where they are sent to stop Misaka Mikoto and her rampage.

At some point after Volume SS1 and before Volume 15, Hamazura Shiage becomes ITEM's informant and lackey, often doing dirty work and following orders.

During the events of Volume 15, Mugino murders Frenda as she was about to defect to SCHOOL. Later on, Hamazura defeats Mugino and according to Volume 19, Kinuhata became the leader of the severely weakened ITEM afterwards.
