Rio Futaba

双葉 理央

Rio Futaba (双葉 理央, Futaba Rio) is one of the main characters of the Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai series, who is a second-year student at Minegahara High School. She had been in the same class as Sakuta and Yuuma during their first year and is the sole member of the Science Club. As a result of Adolescence Syndrome, Rio had split into two versions of herself on July 30; one who craved attention and one who hated the fact that her body was used to obtain that attention. After both versions were able to recognize and control their own feelings, Rio became one person again. Rio is primarily seen wearing her school uniform and her lab coat. As her feminine parts developed before her classmates, Rio possesses a voluptuous figure and a large bust, which she doesn't like. The second Rio Futaba ties her hair in a ponytail and wears contacts instead of her usual glasses. Rio is a stoic girl who possesses substantial knowledge in science, including chemistry and quantum physics. Although she is unwilling to believe the existence of Adolescence Syndrome, she does acknowledge the abnormal phenomenon it induces and connects them with various scientific theories and principles. Despite her stoic nature, Rio also shows various emotions such as love, as she currently holds affection towards Yuuma, as well as anxiousness. The second Rio Futaba behaves nearly identically to the original, but she has taken a hobby of posting risque photos on social media as a form of "self-mutilation" and to have an objective look on herself.
