Backstory: Always a little different from his peers, Riku has always been curious about myths and legends, spirits and monsters, and generally anything that might be seen as outside the norm, such as conspiracy theories. Because of his shy, awkward nature, he often had few friends. However with the rise of the digital age he was able to find friends online with similar interests. Through his time online, Riku came to learn more and more about bizarre happenings. Sightings of ferocious monsters, reports spirits with unfinished business. But in the background of all of them was the fact that these supernatural beings and Unidentified Mysterious Animals involved these entities just disappearing, as if fading from existence. Since then, Riku has been trying to connect the dots between sightings.
Miscellaneous:
- Obsessed with dinosaurs as a child, and still likes them enough to the point that he'll visit his uncle Kenryu Uchida in the Fukui Prefecture and help him out at digs in the Kitadani Formation in the summer
- Can read and understand English thanks to years online
- Loves animals of all kinds... except bugs; he's outright terrified of spiders
- His taste in music is... unique, to say the least; after all, when was the last time you heard someone listening to a metal song about dwarves digging holes?
