He has a naturally high voice since he’s a trans man; however, as heard in his cover of "Inokori Sensei" , he can sing in a lower tone as well. Rinu sometimes uses autotune in his covers, making his voice a bit unclear, but in his cover of "Donor Song" , he was able to clearly sing several high notes. He is also a fan of adding small speaking parts into his covers, such as in his cover of "|||Toluthin Antenna|||" .
On September 2nd, 2017, Rinu came out as a trans man, stating that he's a cool individual and loves playing the guitar.
His most popular song as of August 1st, 2022, is his cover of "Little Love Song" with more than 27.8 million views on YouTube. 
Other than making covers, Rinu often makes various skits and records game-plays with the members that can be found on both his channel and the Strawberry Prince channel.
