Kamishiro Rui

Kamishiro Rui (神かみ代しろ 類るい), Kamishiro Rui is a third-year student at Kamiyama High School. He is a member of the musical show unit Wonderlands x Showtime.

Background A carefree genius director. Formerly a solo performer, Rui found a new home among the Wonderlands X Showtime members, who accepted his bold ideas. In his search for a way for the troupe to stay together despite chasing different dreams, he has devised an arrangement that lets them put on shows together while each still following their chosen path. —Profile

Rui and Nene are next-door neighbors, as well as childhood friends. Rui was the one who recommended her to join Wonderlands x Showtime. He manages the group's stage performances and is both an actor and stage director. Rui is also very skilled in inventing machinery and creates animatronics for the shows, including NeneRobo. Rui's father is a robotics engineer and his mother is a biologist.[1]

When Rui was young, he struggled to get along with his peers due to the differences what they found fun and interesting. Rui finds a love of theater through Nene, and decides to put on shows with his classmates. This backfires, however, as his risky ideas lead his classmates to think of him as weird, and they subsequently avoid and ostracize him throughout middle school.[1]

Rui eventually decided that he would perform shows on his own, using robots as his actors instead of real people. Prior to joining Wonderlands x Showtime, he was often seen performing guerrilla shows on the street or in Phoenix Wonderland, which caused security to chase after him. Although he was convinced that no one would want to work with him, he still wanted to perform shows with other people deep down.[2]

He is given this opportunity when he joins Wonderlands x Showtime, and appreciates how his troupemates are willing to try his inventions and stage directions.

As a third year, Rui is classmates with Tsukasa in class 3-C.

Appearance Rui has thin, amber eyes with red eyeliner along the crease, and uneven, choppy purple hair with two cyan streaks. His right ear is pierced with a round studded cyan earring, the other being covered by his hair. His voice is gentle, though it becomes strained when he is excited or curious.

Casual Outfit For his casual outfit, he wears a green-hooded jacket with the cuffs colored pink, orange, and green. The jacket is overlaying a shirt with a pattern of two diagonal stripes — one grey, the other white — and two other stripes going the opposite direction — one a pale blue, the other a darker blue with white stripes. The hem of his shirt is white and it is shown a cyan undershirt. He also wears black, baggy pants.

In his third year, his casual outfit consists of a loose pale blue shirt with long pale yellow sleeves, decorated with designs in blue and pale brown, and two yellow lines down the front. He also wears dark gray slacks.

Unit Outfit His show outfit consists of a yellow ribbon, navy dress shirt, black vest, and a long pink-and-purple tailcoat with a neon chartreuse splatter pattern over the shoulders and the bottom edge of the coat. He wears white pants with black knee-high boots and short, white gloves. The ends of his rolled sleeves contain short, white lace poking out of the ends. The inside of his tailcoat is the same chartreuse color as the splatters on the outside, with a darker checkered-rhombus pattern. These same rhombuses are found in white on the lower wing collar and the hems of his boots. A friend of his made this outfit for him.[3]

His second unit outfit consists of a black button-up with a large, crooked lime green and purple-striped bowtie, pants which are black on the left and white on the right, and black-and-white dress shoes with heels and purple laces. He wears a long, white double-breasted coat with dark checker-patterned cuffs lined with lime green and purple, a panel of pale purple on the left and on his back-right accented with lime green, and a black left sleeve. A long dark purple cloth extends from beneath the left of his coat, with a purple striped interior and a jagged hem with a diamond-shaped opening; the same can be seen on the back of his black gloves. Gold and purple buttons adorn his jacket, as well as two gold stars.

Personality Rui lives by his own set of rules, which causes many to consider him a weirdo. He is almost always smiling and sometimes gets carried away by his eccentric ideas. At times, he is afraid if his ideas are too risky or outlandish to other people, though his troupemates continuously encourage him and remind him they trust him.[4][1]

Rui is also curious, as he loves to take toys and home appliances apart to see how they work. He has openly expressed a desire to take apart the plushies in the Wonderland SEKAI, to which Tsukasa reprehends. He is observant, and uses his observations to help direct his troupemates, encourage Mafuyu to understand how she truly feels,[2] and help Akito overcome his fear of dogs.[5]

He cares deeply for his friends, shown when he defended Emu and her dreams from her brothers,[6] as well as building NeneRobo to help Nene with her fear of talking to others. He is also a teasing and playful person, with an example being his constant ideas for performances that often involve putting Tsukasa's life in danger.
