==History==
A young mute girl who was traumatized after witnessing the death of her family at the hands of bandits, Lin befriends Kenshiro when he wanders into her village and captured for being suspicious. Offering him water, he helps restore her voice by using one of her pressure points. Upon being rescued from Zeed, Rin begins to follow him through the wasteland and becomes one of his loyal traveling companions. Years after Raoh's defeat, she forms and co-leads the Hokuto Army with Bat as they fight off the corrupt army of the Celestial Emperor.
Rin is actually the younger twin sister of Lui, the Celestial Empress. After they were born, Falco of Gento Kōken was ordered by Viceroy Jakoh to get rid of one of the twins, as two successors to the throne was unallowed. However, Falco could not bring himself to kill a baby, thus left her in secret care by his aunt and uncle. After Lui was rescued by Kenshiro and his companions from Jakoh, his son Jask kidnaps Rin and takes her to the Land of Shura to exact revenge, only for Rin to be tossed around by the warrior Shachi to goad Kenshiro into fighting Kaioh and his Hokuto Ryūken brothers. Before the final battle between Kaioh and Kenshiro, Kaioh presses Lin's pressure point that blinds her and erases her memories: the moment she opens her eyes, she will fall in love with the first person she sees. Bat, who has arrived in the Land of Shura to help, insists that Rin be the one to see Kenshiro, but the successor of Hokuto Shinken believes Rin is destined to be with Bat. However, Bat would force Rin back into amnesia so she can reunite with Kenshiro. The final arc in the series is resolved when Rin regains her memories and chooses to be with Bat.
