―Kamishiro Rui

Kamishiro Rui (神代 類) is a third-year student at Kamiyama High School. He's part of the musical show unit Wonderlands×Showtime.

Character Bio

"Nene's neighbor and childhood friend, Rui is an easy-going genius. He's meticulous about making every show the best it can be, making use of his flair for technology and inventiveness. He even builds robots to use on stage. His somewhat unique way of thinking often gets him labeled as a weirdo."

Background

Rui and Kusanagi Nene are next-door neighbors and childhood friends. Rui was the one who recommended her to join the troupe. He manages stage performances. Rui is also very skilled in inventing things and creates robots to the shows. In middle school, he was often seen as an outcast and would visit the rooftop almost everyday, which lead to his friendship with Akiyama Mizuki.

Appearance

Rui has yellow eyes and short, uneven purple hair with blue streaks. His right ear is pierced.

His show outfit consists of a ribbon, navy dress shirt, black vest, and long pink/purple coat with a neon yellow/green splatter pattern over the shoulders and the bottom edge of the coat. He wears white pants with black knee-high boots and short, white gloves. It's mentioned that Akiyama Mizuki, his middle school friend, made this outfit for him.

Brand New World

Rui has three outfits as of Brand New World.

His unit outfit is made up of an asymmetrical white coat, with a blue with purple striped sash. The left sleeve is black, and there is a thick purple stripe with a yellow outline running down the back on the right side. His pants are two colors, the left being black and the right being white. He also wears a purple and yellow bow tie and black gloves with diamond cutouts. His casual outfit consists of an oversized blue, tan, and yellow graphic sweater with loose black pants.

His school outfit is the standard male Kamiyama High School uniform with a tie, though his shirt is untucked, and he layers a sky blue cardigan on top.

Personality

Rui lives by his own set of rules, which causes people to consider him a weirdo. He's a literal genius as seen in the Revival my dream event. However, Rui often feels like an outcast for his inventions and his eccentric thinking. In WxS, Rui feels like he can be himself in the group and pushes himself to create better and better inventions.

He likes to tease his friends and is always thinking up show ideas or inventing things. While he often puts Tsukasa in danger when adding new ideas to shows, he genuinely cares for him and is shown to worry about Tsukasa hating him in Full Power! Wonderland Halloween! His care for his friends is also shown in Smile of a Dreamer, where Rui stands up for Emu against her older brothers and when he helps speak for Nene when she is too shy.

Relationships

• Tenma Tsukasa: Fellow group member. Rui thinks he's an actor worthy of a stage.
• Otori Emu: Fellow group member. Rui thinks she's wonderfully bizarre.
• Kusanagi Nene: Fellow group member. They're neighbors and childhood friends. Rui wishes she'd get over her stage fright. He was the one who built NeneRobo for Nene to help her with her stage fright.
• Aoyagi Toya: Schoolmate and friend. The two first met during the An Ode for the Pure of Heart event. Although Toya had heard of Rui due to previous rumors, he grew to respect Rui as they worked together on the wedding show.
• Akiyama Mizuki: Fellow social outcast and friend. They met on the rooftop in middle school. In part two of the side stories for Mizuki's 1* card, Rui asks Mizuki to help create costumes for him and a friend.

Trivia

• Rui was the one who built NeneRobo for Nene.
• Rui's favorite food is soda candy, and his least favorite food is vegetables.
• He dislikes vegetables due to the texture. He also dislikes any fruits with textures similar to vegetables, such as watermelon.
