== 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."

Rui is also very skilled in inventing things and creates robots to the shows.

== 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.
