Ryōko Totonoi is a female second-year high school student and the vice president of her school’s broadcasting club. She is known for choosing classical literature for competitive recitations despite its difficulty.
She balances leadership with a calm, supportive presence in the club. Her commitment to classical works has limited her competitive success at the national level.
She has a gentle, modest temperament, steadying teammates who tend to rush ahead. Her voice is described by Hana Haruyama as soft and resilient, “like a marshmallow.”
As vice president, she offers precise guidance to impulsive members such as Mizuki Usurai and to inexperienced junior students. She excels at stepping in with clear, timely support.
She has an intense love for classical literature and becomes unstoppable once she begins talking about it. In recitations, she always selects classical texts as her material.
Because classical readings are difficult to interpret and judge, they are considered disadvantageous in contests, and she has never advanced to the national stage. In this year’s NHK National High School Broadcasting Contest Kyoto Tournament, Reading Division, she placed outside the top ten and her name was not announced.
Hana Haruyama’s praise for her “marshmallow-like” voice highlights her gentle appeal. She consistently backs Mizuki Usurai and junior members with thoughtful, stabilizing support.
