## Appearance

Otaki is quite cute girl, according to her friends. She has chocolate brown hair with espresso color dyed ends. Her hair is on twin tails and the style and color makes her hair look like two fox tails. Her eyes are a bit wider than normal, making her look confused most of the time. She has creamy beige skin.

Normally at school she puts on fake glasses and make ups freckles on her face. She either wears her school uniform or track suit. Outside of school she mostly wears shorts and a T-shirt.

## Personality

Otaki is a kind person, who takes her job as Inarizaki’s manager very seriously. She used to be very talkative but now that she’s not able to speak a single word, she’s mute. She has a great passion for both, volleyball and music.

As she’s not able to speak, she either uses notebook or sign language. Students in Inarizaki has made up their own sing language so they’d be able to communicate with Otaki. She does mouth every word she says but sometimes has hard time explaining something.

Otaki is not the best student’s in her school but she rarely gets scores under 80. She joins other second years study session but is not always able to help. Most of the time she’s dragged there by Ginjima, who doesn’t want to be there alone with others.

She most of the time, during club activities has a deadpanned look on her face, mostly because of her fellow second years. Otaki sometimes gets angry by the twins constant fights and even if she’s not able to yell or speak, she scares them to death. Either by her smile that definitely tells them they will die or her ”done with everything” expression.

At first look someone would think she looks a little lost, due her face constantly having the confused look. But in fact she just finds it easier to look a little lost than have a little too excited look on her face.

Otaki has a great love and respect towards Japanese culture. The first thing she asked her parents to buy her when they moved to Japan was a kimono. She loves them. She has stated that she’s in heaven when visiting at her captain's home, as it is traditional Japanese house and she has a huge closet full of different kimonos and yukatas.

After getting her voice back, she decided to play around with others and not reveal the fact she has her voice back. Rather she joined Masked Singer and won that before revealing the fact that she once again has her voice.

## Background

Otaki was born on an island called Tahiti. Her mother was 17 -years old at the time. Her mother is Tahitian and her father is Japanese. At the age of three she built her own boat and started sailing around the island. When she was six years old her family moved to Japan. Her mother did a perfect 180 turn and got excited over so many things Rikona wasn’t able to keep up. They moved right next to a family called Suna. Rikona had spent her time on island singing and dancing, so during her elementary years, she got really into musicals.

She started her musical path at the age of seven. During her path she got known for her amazing singing voice and acting. Rikona has won many awards after acting in different musicals.

At age of twelve she joined JNWVT after hearing them on the neighbor house during her visit at her fathers sister in Miyagi. She has seen many times how volleyball is played and it got her interested.

When Rikona was on her second year in junior high, she was diagnosed with a symptom that made a lump on her throat right to the point where her voice-box is. She had troubles with breathing and had to be taken to hospital. The doctors gave her two options: either they made a surgery and took the lump out or she has maximum of two of weeks living. She decided to take the surgery. After the surgery was done, it was found out that her voice-box was damaged and would take at least two years in minim to heal. She wasn’t able to talk anymore.

Rikona quit the musical and focused on volleyball. As she’s not able to speak she uses her millions of notebooks to communicate.

Her original plan was to go Inarizaki and join their famous marching band but after losing her ability to sing and talk, she decided to stay away from music, unless she's listening to it. So instead she was about to join the cheerleader club but before she was able to do that Suna signed her as the manager for the team. At first it was hard for her to get along with the team as she was having problems communicating with them. Slowly things started to get better and the team took her more seriously when the coaches found out she is part of the national women's team.
