Character Details

Height: 1.80 cm
Weight: N/A

Name: Ruko
Last name: Kotobane
Nickname: Koto / Ruko
Stage Name: コトバネ　ルコ
Pronouns: He/Him
Sexuality: Gay
Age: 19 years old
Height: 180 cm
Blood Type: AB-
Birthday: May 4th (Taurus)

Favorite food: Takoyaki

Personality:
Ruko appears perpetually bored, annoyed or indifferent, maintaining a scowling expression and relying on dry, monosyllabic responses. However, Ruko is intensely loyal and sweet, showing his affection through actions rather than words—especially through his talent for cooking. He has a fierce hatred of mean people, which instantly dissolves his grumpy facade into protective action. He shifts between a serious, insightful maturity and a hidden, childlike passion when exploring nature or enjoying music. He just hates catching a cold.

Background:
Ruko grew up as a reluctant child singer and performer in an extremely wealthy family, forcing him into hated activities like ballet and piano. At 15, he fiercely rebelled against the constant pressure, abandoning the stage to embrace his true interests: drawing, cooking, and finding music for pleasure. This defiant shift defined him, yet ironically, as he matured and found genuine emotional release in his new passions, his initial talent resurfaced. Now, his voice is clearer and brighter than ever before, demonstrating a complex journey of self-acceptance where he finally enjoys the talent he once desperately tried to escape.
