(莉犬くん) is a male utaite who started in 2015, singing duet covers with youika; although he had previously done his first solo cover. that being "Netoge Haijin Sprechchor" in 2016.

He has a naturally high voice since he’s a trans man; however, as heard in his cover of "Inokori Sensei" , he can sing in a lower tone as well. Rinu sometimes uses autotune in his covers, making his voice a bit unclear, but in his cover of "Donor Song"  , he was able to clearly sing several high notes. He is also a fan of adding small speaking parts into his covers, such as in his cover of "|||Toluthin Antenna|||"  .

On September 2nd, 2017, Rinu came out as a trans man, stating that he's a cool individual and loves playing the guitar.

His most popular song as of August 1st, 2022, is his cover of "Chiisana Koi no Uta"   with more than 27.8 million views on YouTube.

Other than making covers, Rinu often makes various skits and records game-plays with the members that can be found on both his channel and the Strawberry Prince channel. It can be assumed from the amount of covers the two have done together as well as game-plays and skits that the member he is closest to is Root.

Trivia

• He stated that he's 18 years old in his cover of Hibikase x ECHO in June 2016.
• He owns two dogs.
• His dream is to become a voice actor.
  • In his birthday video "From When I was Born"  , Rinu states he wishes to follow this dream after someone he was close to passed away of cancer, telling him to achieve the dream for her.
  • His dream to become a voice actor has also been fulfilled as Rinu has voiced a few different characters with the name of Koinu
• As seen on his Twitter in multiple photos he has taken of himself, Rinu sometimes wears bright red wigs (similarly to his avatar) as well as respective colored ears and tail, typically assumingly when he has a performance to do. He is also shown to own multiple collars.
• In his coming out post about his gender identity, he entered the world of Utaite because people had told him that he sounded like a boy, and thus further validated his feelings.
• In the same post, he revealed he had also suffered bullying as a young child due to his GID.
• Rinu knows a fair amount of English grammar, as seen in his video "Rinu vs. English"  .
• Both the Hiragana and Kanji spellings of his name contains the word/kanji inu (いぬ/犬) which is the spelling of the word "dog." This makes sense, as his avatar contains canine features, such as ears, a tail, and typically wearing a collar.
• His persona has a little brother named Riken as introduced in"Otōto o Shōkai Shimasu!!!!!!!!"   voiced by Rinu as well, but in a higher pitch. It appears that Riken is cute, but two-faced.
• Rinu voluntarily revealed much about his personal life in a video called "From When I was Born"  . In the 30 minute long birthday video, he reveals to the viewer about his upbringing: how his family was always in debt, how his brother was held at a higher regard than him always, his childhood friends, his mother's severe depression, growing up with his gender dysphoria, and more.
  • In the same video, Rinu explains that his interest in becoming a utaite began from him liking one of his senpai who enjoyed utaite. He lied about his knowledge about it, and thus began researching it to impress his crush.
• Rinu's blood type is B.
• Rinu is actually short, standing at 149.8 cm.
• Rinu's birthplace is Tokyo.
• In a"livestream"   for Rinu and Colon's birthday (particularly for Rinu since his birthday is the next day after the livestream), Rinu said that Root gave him a bottle of hairspray for his birthday four years ago but didn't give anything else the next 3 years
  • In the same livestream, Rinu wanted Satomi to give him an Ipad for his birthday
• Rinu states that he likes cute girls who sneeze like "kuchun" in one of his"animation videos"
