Rin Kujou is a tall, cool beauty and a senior at Sainan High School, known for her loyalty to Tenjouin Saki, her sharp sword skills, and her unexpectedly kind heart towards Rito Yuki.
Rin Kujou is a female student, one year senior to Rito Yuki.
She has a height of 167 cm and weighs 54 kg.
Her measurements are B86-W60-H86; her bust is estimated at D cup.
Rin’s beautiful, long black hair is usually tied into a ponytail, and she has striking black eyes.
She is described as a cool beauty and stands out for her tall, slender figure.
Her style is considered the best among her close friends, second only to Yui Kotegawa in certain aspects.
Rin has a strong, cool-headed, and somewhat masculine way of speaking.
She is usually calm, collected, and not easily rattled.
Loyalty is at her core – she supports Tenjouin Saki both openly and behind the scenes, despite sometimes being exasperated by Saki’s behavior.
Rin is honorable, quick to acknowledge mistakes and capable of changing her evaluation of others, especially Rito Yuki as she observes his true character.
Despite her strong exterior, Rin harbors fears and dislikes spicy foods and heights, the latter of which she keeps secret from even her closest friends.
Rin comes from a family that has served the Tenjouin household for generations.
Because of her upbringing, she treats her role as Saki's attendant with dedication, considering it her duty in life.
She is a third-year student at Sainan High School and is close friends with Tenjouin Saki and Fujisaki Aya.
Rin is skilled in kendo, karate, and drumming.
She almost always carries a bamboo sword or wooden sword at school, ready to handle trouble.
Her strength is impressive enough to break sunglasses with the impact of her strikes.
Rin has good marksmanship and, thanks to her talents, was chosen as a ninja in the fantasy scenario "Trouble Quest."
Her specialties make her physically impressive and valuable in both everyday school life and moments of action.
Her strongest bond is with Tenjouin Saki, whom she supports unwaveringly.
She is also a close friend of Fujisaki Aya, forming a trio within Saki’s circle.
Originally, she misunderstood and disliked Rito Yuki, considering him a "beast" due to repeated accidental encounters (mostly caused by Lala Satalin Deviluke).
However, after learning from Mikan Yuuki that Rito is reliable in a pinch and being saved by him from a dangerous situation, Rin reevaluates Rito and develops genuine affection for him.
Rin eventually becomes the only older female student to clearly harbor romantic feelings toward Rito, earning her support from both Saki and Aya, who cheer on her budding romance.
Rin ranks as one of the top supporting characters in popularity polls, placing 10th with 554 votes in the first character poll.
In the heroine general election, she placed 13th in the "girlfriend" category, 10th as "family," 5th as a "friend," 13th as "favorite character," and an impressive 3rd in the "role-swap" category.
She enjoys watching movies, spending time with her family and friends, and values loyalty.
Rin is secretly afraid of heights, a fact unknown even to Saki or Aya.
She dislikes spicy foods and does not handle them well.
"Maybe I misunderstood you a little, Rito."
This line marks the turning point in her perception of Rito Yuki.
School Life and Early Interactions
Rin starts as a background character but evolves into a crucial member of the Sainan High School cast.
Her main role is as Saki’s attendant, assisting her with everything and sometimes collecting information, such as observing Lala Satalin Deviluke.
She spends time with Saki and Aya, and together, they are often on the receiving end of Rito's frequent accidental encounters, leading Rin to mistrust him initially.
Development in Darkness
Rin gains prominence in "To Love Ru Darkness," especially in episode 12, where she becomes the main focus instead of Saki.
She helps Mikan Yuuki unexpectedly and learns about Rito’s true, dependable side, which plants the first seeds of romantic interest.
After being saved by Rito from the cursed sword "Bladix," she falls in love with him outright.
Saki notices Rin’s feelings but supports her, thinking Rin’s crush to be cute and encouraging her to act on her feelings.
Growth of Her Feelings
With time, not only does Rin’s attitude towards Rito soften, but Saki and Aya reevaluate their own stances toward him.
Saki even arranges a movie date for Rin and Rito, during which they discover shared interests.
Aya also tries to support Rin’s happiness, despite sometimes pushing her into ridiculous situations, which Rin bluntly refuses.
Culmination and Conclusion
In the finale of "Darkness," Saki attempts to set up a double date for Rin and Rito, along with herself and Zastin, further acknowledging Rin's new status as a romantic rival.
Rin is thus promoted belatedly to one of the main heroines and even appears as a romanceable character in the PSVita game "To Love Ru Darkness: True Princess."
She stands as the only older heroine to be respected and admired by Rito, being recognized as a senior he can look up to.
Rin is voiced by Mai Hashimoto.
She is notable for her late but significant character development, transitioning from a background extra to a truly popular heroine.
Her unique blend of strength, vulnerability, and honest affection makes her stand out in the "To Love Ru" universe.
