Character

Raimu Bitou

尾藤 来夢

Raimu Bito (尾藤 来夢 Bitō Raimu), nicknamed Rhyme (ライム Raimu), is a supporting character in The World Ends with You and serves as Beat's partner during their first Reapers' Game. While Beat acts aggressive and impulsive, Rhyme balances him out with her calm demeanor. She is always wearing a smile and is kind to everyone she meets. Always optimistic and reasonable, Rhyme manages to keep everyone organized when she's around. Her young and pure heart is impossible to hate and gives her great love and loyalty. She has no dreams except to help Beat achieve his (becoming the best skateboarder in the world). It is interesting to note that in the Japanese version, Rhyme refers to herself with "ボク" (boku), a masculine personal pronoun that is normally used by boys, occasionally used by tomboys, and sometimes used in song lyrics even when the singer is female.
