Roboro

* Real-life info
* Fictional info

**Roboro** (**ロボロ**) is an active member of ○○ no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!. Also known as the "Heavenly Voice", he was asked by Gruppen to join the group as a narrator because of his clear voice. He later became a full-fledged participant in videos, cementing himself as one of the group's common sense person. Roboro is known for his stoicism and his height, the latter becoming one of Wrwrd's biggest running jokes. His short stature was the inspiration behind the TRPG series *Kieruna Roboro*, in which Roboro becomes a palm-sized dwarf.

## Personality

As mentioned above, Roboro is the common sense person of the group. He often calls out the other members for their crazy antics. However, Roboro isn't above doing such actions himself. There are times where he makes strange and borderline inappropriate remarks, to the point the others refer to him as a pervert. Roboro is known for being 'heartless', even more so than Koneshima. During gameplays, he fights his enemies without hesitation. His player skills are high and he seems to be good at long-range fights.

## Appearance

Roboro's standing picture depicts him as a young man with large brown eyes and brown bowl-cut hair with straight bangs. He wears a black inner shirt with mismatched sleeves (the left sleeve longer than the right) underneath an orange-colored *keikogi* with gray linings bounded by a gray waist tie, as well as a pair of gray boots. He also wears a paper mask over his face with the character **天** written on it.

An alternative design has him wearing an outfit consisting of an orange T-shirt, green trousers with a black belt, gray boots (he is also commonly depicted wearing sneakers instead), and a military necklace.

## Fictional Counterparts

Below are some depictions of Roboro in various works.

### *Who is the Swampman?*

**Dan Heita** (**騨 平太**) is Roboro's character in a gameplay series of this TRPG. He is a 24-year-old recluse with a certain level of perversity who gets caught up in a mysterious case that's related to the titular swampman. He works as an assistant for his older sister, an erotic manga artist known by the pen name **Deko-dashiko** (**デコだし子**). Heita is a sloppy man with messy brown hair. He has thick bangs covering his eyes and a cowlick. He also has strands of facial hair on his chin. He wears a white T-shirt underneath a purple tracksuit with pink details. The character **天** can be seen on his jacket's left chest area.

### *Good Morning ALL*

**Kanaishi Genki** (**金石 元気**) is Roboro's character in a gameplay series of this TRPG. Genki is a 29-year-old personal trainer who is very optimistic despite suffering from a mysterious disease and knowing the fact that the world is dead and society has fallen. He has short blond hair and yellow eyes. He wears a light grey T-shirt and a blue jacket with red stripes, as well as olive green trousers with a white belt.

### *Isekai no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!*

In this story, Roboro is a friend of Utsu-sensei's who runs a small pawn shop. He is very good-natured, if a bit of a doormat. He believes in Utsu's lies and gives him money. When the nuclear war broke out, Utsu offered to take him to stay inside the bunker. However, Roboro refused, preferring to stay in his shop. A thousand years later, Roboro found himself travelling around the newly formed world while casually running small, temporary businesses. He managed to reunite with Utsu, but he ended up leaving him temporarily after seeing his continuous evil deeds. This eventually made Roboro realize how soft he had been. He gradually became less reluctant to voice his own opinions ever since.

His appearance in the visual novel is exactly the same as his standing picture, and his appearance in the manga isn't that far off. The only difference is that Roboro has spiky black hair and wears a simple orange kimono, as well as black boots.

### *Hell Doctor KuRaRe's Science Can Solve Everything!!*

Roboro doesn't have that many appearances in this manga, but he is known as one of Gruppen's subordinates who specializes in machinery. When he first appeared, he wears a huge reinforced suit made by Tonton, but it is later revealed that his body is awfully small for an adult. He has black eyes and messy black hair with a cowlick, and wears a similar outfit to his counterpart in the *Isekai no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!* manga. He also wears his mask slightly to the side of his head, thus revealing half of his face.

### *Makai no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!*

**Klein Roboro** (**クライン・ロボロ**) is a first-year student at Babyls Demon School. A demon with rank 2, he is very rational and stoic, strict with himself and others. He had been in various divisions, but didn't stay long because he couldn't get along with others. He loves muscle training, but is concerned about his small stature. He wishes to have a large body and be popular with the ladies. He eventually ended up joining Our Division. Although he dislikes how cluttered everyone are, he believes that he can reach his goals together with them. His appearance is slightly different from Roboro's standing picture. He has small horns and pointed ears, and his outfit has white lining and a high collar. His winter outfit adds a navy-colored hood, held by a red ribbon.

## Etymology

It's speculated that his name is a reference to Roborovski hamsters, which are known as the smallest of the three dwarf hamster species.
