Rinka Aoba (青葉りんか Aoba Rinka) is one of the main characters of Kiratto Pri☆Chan. At the start of season 3, she was a 3rd-year student at Kirarigaoka Middle School, but as of episode 153, she became a high school student. She is the manager and classmate of Emo Moegi and Mirai Momoyama. She is a cool-type idol whose preferred brand is Secret Alice.

Appearance

Rinka is a young girl with slanted, tired emerald eyes that she wears oval half-glasses over. She has long indigo hair worn loose with a few strands curled on end. Her bangs are layered and uneven in length, with an off-center split that has one section braided behind the head and a smaller strand sticking out, while the opposite side has her bangs worn loose with a single curl sticking out near the bottom.

Personality

She's calm and serious, but sweet and friendly, and is seen as the model student. She is quiet, but she knows a lot about Pri☆Chan and is very supportive over her friends. Before becoming an idol, if anyone were to mention that she should perform in PriChan, she would get flustered and claim to suffer from stage fright. Encouragement from Magical Ren, Mirai, and Emo, along with reconciliation with her brother allowed her to become a PriChan idol.

Relationships

Yuzuru Aoba

Her elder brother. As kids, they were very close. They would often pretend to have PriChan Casts and record each other, as if they had their own Pri☆Channel to post on. Yuzuru eventually started hanging out with other kids, and the two stopped playing with each other, leaving Rinka feeling sadness over the loss of their close relationship.

Mirai Momoyama

Her friend, classmate and teammate in Miracle☆Kiratts, who she serves as a manager to.

Emo Moegi

Her friend, classmate and teammate in Miracle☆Kiratts, who she serves as a manager to.

Silk

Her self-created mascot.

Etymology

Aoba (青葉) - Ao (青) means "blue", while ba (葉) means "leaf". Ao is a reference to her blue hair and theme color, similarly to the other characters' family names.

Rinka (りんか) - Due to being written in Hiragana, there is no specific meaning of her name. Rin (凜) can mean "dignified" and ka (和) can mean "calm" or "peaceful". It could also mean "lovely/beautiful forest" (林佳).
