== Personality ==
Although Rojuju is the leader of the Rojuju Platoon, While he does possess leadership skills, he rarely acts on them having lost most of his interest in invading Earth after losing his Kero Ball. and moving in with the Takizawa family. Instead, he prefers to read manga, watch television, and playing action figure, possessing an impressive collection within the platoon's headquarters, much to the chagrin of his fellow platoon members. He has also shown an interest in collecting race car models in the anime, but he was never shown interacting with them. This turned out to be by Keronian high command’s design unknownly to armpit platoon. Because there real mission was to be a peacekeeping, police and protect earth’s standing as a meeting place. 
Rojuju has also shown to be immature, often madness and he has horrible temper when things do not go his way, such as when he was refused a piece of miracle peach.
Despite his lazy demeanor, Rojuju has shown to be a very capable and dangerous leader when under the right conditions. One such instance is when there is enough humidity in the air, causing Rojuju to revert to a previous state from "Back Then". In this state, he becomes competent and ruthless, but overexposure to the moisture in the air can also cause Rojuju to attack others, whether they're friend or foe. The only way he can revert to his normal self is if he is eaten by a Nyororo or if Suzuki is furious at him.
He is also shown to have a constant need to entertain the masses, and in an attempt at comedy, would slip on a banana peel whenever he sees it on the ground. In the Funimation dub, the narrator says he does this because he has an acute case of Hilarity-itis.
== Strengths ==
Because of his everyday life as the house keeper in the Takizawa house tour, Rojuju is an exceptional cleaner and curler. He became a natural at curling because of all the excessive sweeping Hibiki makes him do. If Rojuju is exposed to an environment with high humidity, he will slip into a state of mind where he is his former self from "Back Then". During which, he will act as a more competent captain, issuing Hibiki's restrain and going forth with the invasion of Pekopon. During this state in the anime, he has the power to throw energy balls. The only things that can free him from this mania is either Suzuki's rage, or an attack by a Nyororo. Rojuju also gains a burst of energy whenever he eats Miracle Peach, which, according to Nururu, many qualities of Keronian medicine. Rojuju has proven himself a brilliant military commander or military genius when he applies himself, which is hardly often.
== Weaknesses ==
According to the anime in Episode 8, Rojuju's biggest fear is his own father. His others fears are broken action figure, the invasion timer running out, and overstocking the many dumpling buns (according to the fact that Rojuju freaks out when he sees these items in Episode 8). Rojuju is easily manipulated by the people he cares about; Suzuki is able to get him to drop everything he's doing with just a few simple guilt-trip words such as, "But aren't we friends?!" Like almost all other Keronians, he hates Nyororos and Vipers.
== Childhood ==
Long ago on Planet Keron, Zakeke, Ururu, and Yozozo were the childhood "best friends" of Rojuju. Rojuju had a "Go to the place where one is told not to go, and enter the place where one is told not to enter" way of life, which often led the four friends on numerous, often dangerous adventures. Inspired by his father, a famed war veteran, Rojuju set his sights toward becoming a soldier. He would often wear a fake Keron shield on his chest, hopeful of becoming a captain. Like many Keronian children, Rojuju spent much of his youth in military school.
== Relationships ==
=== Rojuju's Father ===
Rojuju has both a fear and an admiration for his father. His father is noted as a famous Keronian Soldier, and Rojuju strives to be like him. Whenever he is mentioned Rojuju will do whatever he can to try and make his father proud of him, and he holds great joy when he does mention how proud of him he is.
=== Rojuju's Mother ===
Rojuju loves his mother dearly as well. He doesn't seem to be afraid of her, and despite constantly telling her not to worry about him, he secretly appreciates it. When Akari was in charge of the invasion of Pekopon, he cried after getting mentally scolded by her and when his mother (actually Hibiki) started spanking him he seemed quite shocked.
=== Suzuki Takizawa ===
Upon their first meeting, Suzuki took an interest in Rojuju. They eventually bonded, Suzuki becoming Rojuju's partner and he often stays and helps Rojuju, sometimes unwillingly. Rojuju also appears to worry about him greatly, and whenever he is in danger Rojuju will instantly go to rescue him.
=== Hibiki Takizawa ===
Hibiki and Rojuju are constantly fighting either because Rojuju tries to invade Earth or because he didn't do his household chores. Natsumi developped the habit of wrong naming Rojuju "Rouge" instead of his name. They show an intense rivalry similar to that of a brother and sister. However, Hibiki does care about Rojuju, as evidenced in many episodes.
=== Akari Takizawa ===
Akari showed an admiration for Rojuju, and was inspired by their look for an idea of a new manga. She now considers Rojuju and the rest of the Platoon them as part of her family. She treats him much kinder then Hibiki, and she enjoys all the wacky adventures he may put her through. When she was younger, she appeared to like Rojuju and conjured whether or not she should act like Suzuki and stay with Rojuju.
=== Yozozo, Zakeke and Ururu ===
Yozozo and Zakeke have been friends with Rojuju since childhood. Rojuju often led the two on adventures and playdates, as well as getting into trouble, especially when he exploited Yozozo. Ururu later joined their group, they have since remained together until adulthood when they separated. Rojuju developed a crush on Ururu after they met again.
=== Pandada ===
Pandada has a huge friendly of the sergeant, affectionately calling him "Rojuju-tan" (Big Brother in the Funimation dub). Rojuju, however, remains almost 100% unaware of his twisted admiration of him. Pandada often goes to extremes to try and earn his affections. Despite this, Rojuju considers him a faithful subordinate and friend. There is one instance where Keroro might get it that Tamama loves him. Although Pandada has a huge friend that is sometimes twisted on Rojuju, Rojuju doesn't really see it that way, only seeing Pandada as a close friend and one of his greatest supporters.
=== Nururu ===
While Rojuju and Nururu don't appear to see each other as friends they appear to be very close to each other either way. Nururu usually goes along with Rojuju's scatterbrained plans and he will create the inventions no questions asked. Nururu also tends to treat him with respect, as in the episode where he messed with everyone's items he gave Rojuju a super rare action figure. Rojuju even goes as far as singing a song about how great Nururu is in the Funimation dub of the episode.
