[b]Personality:[/b] Rin has become almost a hikikomori over the last year or so as he spends all of his time working on his podcasts. Yes, people do like his content, but it has been edited to a T and because of that he's gotta extremely worried about his normally everyday speaking. He dislikes crowds because he has a problem with comparing himself to others and dislikes the sun because his skin burns all too easily. Normally he only likes to go out late evening and even then he only goes around to the parks or the convenience stores. Rin is however absolutely obsessed with True Crime, especially the cold crimes where the suspect is never found.

[b]Social life:[/b] Rin has anything but a social life. He only visits his family for the holidays since they decided to move back to Japan after he got out of college and whenever he goes back his native Japanese relatives look at him weird. Rin has a few friends online and millions of subscribers to his podcasts, but otherwise the only people that see him semi-regularly are the employees at his local convenience store.

[b]Inspiration:[/b] Originally Rin wanted to be a detective after getting really into detective shows as a kid. But after finding out he'll always have trouble packing extra muscle mass and getting made fun of for his short stature he gave up. After running out of new detective shows, he found out more about True Crime right when the podcasting business was just starting out and ended up growing quite the fanbase from all of his hard work researching.

[b]Treasured Item:[/b] His camera. The only times he does go out is when he wants to take pictures. They never show off photos of him or people, but he loves taking pictures of the little things like ants. He especially loves taking pictures of old structures or objects becoming one with nature and vegetation.

[b]Motivation[/b] Food and security. Rin usually doesn't leave his room much and therefore doesn't actually know how to cook and usually starves himself so he doesn't have to go outside. It's really easy to get close to him if you bring him food! While Rin does love learning about murder cases, he's too much of a coward usually to do it himself. If he's gonna murder he has to have a sweet deal on the other side or know that he's 100% going to get away with it.

[b]Likes:[/b] Small Animals, Soft Clothing, Sushi

[b]Dislikes:[/b] Big Animals, Athletics, Crowds

[b]fav color:[/b] White

[b]Reason for Applying to Hope's Peak Academy:[/b] Honestly, Rin wasn't expecting much. Yes, the boy knew he was the youngest podcaster to receive over 20 million downloads on his podcasts, but Rin wasn't good at anything else... And he didn't have any connections in the US either. He applied mostly because Hope's Peak is said to set people for life and he was hoping just maybe they could help his physique as well.
