Ruby Kurosawa

If you want to make your own fanfic version of the character, add it to the Fanfic appearances section instead.

**Ruby Kurosawa** (黒澤 ルビィ Kurosawa Rubii) is one of the main protagonists of the original *Love Live! Sunshine!!* Anime.

## Character

Ruby is a first-year Uranohoshi student as well as Dia's timid younger sister, who has long since dreamed of becoming an idol. She has androphobia (a fear of men), as she has never talked to anyone male outside of her own father. In the anime, her shyness is increased so she enters in panic when she is touched by anyone she is not used to regardless of sex, being only comfortable around Dia and Hanamaru at the start of the anime. Her catchphrase is "Pigī," (ピギー) a Japanese onomatopoeia for squealing whenever she becomes surprised or frightened.

She is also a member of the mini-sub group CYaRon!

## Notes & Trivia

### Official Data & Canon

* Voice actors: **Furihata Ai** (Japanese), **Sarah Wiedenheft** (English), **Jennifer Weiß** (German), **Justine Hostekint** (French), **Rona Aguilar** (Tagalog)
* Her favorite food is French Fries & Sweet Potatoes.
* Her hated food is wasabi, although she was shown being vulnerable to Yoshiko's "Tears of the Fallen Angel" Octopus balls, which was covered in spicy Tabasco sauce.
* Apart from her official bio, Ruby doesn't even show any *real* androphobia in the Anime.
	+ While her fear of dogs...well, was inherited to Riko instead.
* *School Idol Diary* reveals that she was the daughter of the *amimoto* (fishing business) family.
* Her name "Kuro" is written in two ways: "黒" or "黑".

### Meta and out of Canon

* In sharp contrast to the other first years such as Maki, Ruby is the *only* person in the group that is seen as a Jailbait (at least for English-speaking fans) given her childlike personality.
* Due to her lack of characterization in the animated canon, Ruby ends up as being the least popular character in the series until Season 2.

***NOTE: This section contains information that is considered as speculation/fanon.***

* Like her sister Dia, Ruby is one of the subject for Kidfic, with results generally coming from both Nico and Maki.
	+ Until their real mom showed up in the first season's last episode, which the fans *ironically* preferred to see the sisters being adopted by her instead.
	+ *If* she was Maki & Nico's real daughter, she would have inherited their red or purple eyes. But since this is a major misconception, this seems plausible.
	+ Since the Kurosawa family's tradition is naming their daughters after precious stones, it might have implied that Maki and Nico did it before them.
	+ Though not officially intentional, Ruby and her sister's interaction with Nico and Maki in the "Leave the Kimino Modelling to Me!" event story in LLAS *may* count as the closest thing to have a "canon" family reunion.
