History

Personality
Riku is very mysterious by nature. To those that don't know him, he comes off as friendly, but it is all to hide his true agenda. What's currently known is that he plans to obtain all seven Rainbow Pearls. Although he is capable of doing so much on his own, he will not act unless it is something that he wants to do personally. Otherwise, he will let others unknowingly take care of those problems for him. Despite being manipulative, Riku will reward those that aid him (as he is the one that has been hiring Moroha to kill various yōkai for him, and paying her through Jyūbei).

He seems to have some interest in Towa, but was disappointed in her use of the Azure Dragon Wave, calling it 'half-assed'.

Riku is a handsome young man with green eyes and a neck-long auburn hair, with part of it styled into a Japanese topknot, as well as two long bangs along the sides of his face.

Riku wears a striped blue and dark blue kosode with torn edges along the sleeves, a white hadajuban undershirt, a beige haori jacket with red and black stripes along the collar, a light blue sash tied along his waist, purple hakama leggings with thin vertical dark purple stripes, a pair of black suneates around his shins, and a pair of white tabi on his feet with waraji straw sandals.

He wears a round blue earring on his left ear.
