Character Profile: Koshi Rikdo

Now here is one crazy example of self-insertion. First, we have to hear Rikdo at the beginning of every episode as he gives authorization for the Excel Saga anime to go wherever it's going today (except episode 1; he signs a waiver of liability for the anime instead).

He turns up hither and thither throughout the series, and he even became the target of an ACROSS plan and killed by Excel in episode 1... while he was in the middle of drawing it (The Great Will of the Macrocosm then had to step in and reset things to prevent the story being stopped)!
