Riku is honest yet kind. While she gets easily embarrassed, Riku is the tsukkomi (straight woman) who cares greatly for her friends. Though she hides the fact that she is a hard worker, this lover of donuts occasionally shows everyone a smile that is as bright as the sun.

Enjoy a donut or two in celebration of Riku's special day!
