ikusawa ruriko

Ruriko is one of the initial Gate Keepers recruited by A.E.G.I.S. in Japan, and she controls the Gate of Life. She is known by the nickname 'Rurippe,' pronounced "RU-RI-PE," which has no significant meaning other than Ukiya associating it with her childhood habit of having a runny nose. Seen as a model student and actively involved in school activities, Ruriko only loses her composure when Ukiya uses her nickname in public. Her original power involves a healing light, which she employs in combat by materializing a bow and arrow. She is taken under Reiji Kageyama's influence and convinced to despise others, transforming her Gate into the Minus Gate of Genocide, a gate that Misao Sakimori warns should never be opened due to its catastrophic consequences. Upon realizing that her secret affection for Ukiya is mutual, her hatred dissipates, restoring her Gate of Life. Her Gate color is yellow.
