__Introduction:__
Rinu, alternatively known as Riinu-kun, otherwise known as Koinu, is a Japanese vocalist, voice actor, lyricist and member of the entertainment group [Strawberry Prince](https://anilist.co/staff/180347/Strawberry-Prince). He is also affiliated with the Dolce 2D idol project.

He has a cute and girlish tenor voice, much like a kid's, and can be misheard as a female's. However, as heard in his cover of [Inokori Sensei](http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm28712230), he can sing in a lower tone as well. Rinu often uses autotune in his covers, making his voice a bit unclear; but in his cover of [Donor Song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9nPMgp57ps), 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|||](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7nhSCMc8z8).

__Biography:__
Rinu started appearing in the utaite scene back in 2015, singing duet covers with [Youika](https://utaite.fandom.com/wiki/Youika). He eventually did his first solo cover in 2016 on the song [Net-game Haijin Sprechchor](http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm27953589). 

Later on, following certain events, he would come out on twitter on September 2nd, 2017 about being a [FTM transgender](https://twitter.com/differentoceans/status/1024511663528009728?s=19), while additionally sharing his thoughts and life experiences with gender dysphoria, transphobia and bullying up to this point. He has ultimately decided he has a gender identity disorder and that he is a man.

His most popular song as of October 12, 2019 is his cover of [Onegai Darling](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAv0TcF1Gz4) with more than 14.3 million views combined (YouTube + Niconico).

Other than making covers, Rinu often makes various skits and records gameplay with other members of his group, Strawberry Prince, which can be found on both his channel and the Strawberry Prince channel. Additionally, it can be assumed from the amount of covers that the two have done together, as well as the amount of gameplay videos and skits, that the member he is closest to is [Root](https://anilist.co/staff/181478/Root).

After winning a singing competition, Qin Ze caught the attention of a well-known talent agency in the industry. However, he soon discovered that he had fallen into a contractual trap - if he didn't sign the contract, he would face enormous compensation claims. Caught between his dreams and reality, Qin Ze was in a dilemma. Meanwhile, Qin Ya joined a film crew, marking her first major production as a full-time actress after transitioning from her previous job. This would determine whether her career as an actress would be smooth sailing. However, the addition of international film star Lulu caused trouble for Qin Ya, as Lulu outshone her in terms of both fame and acting skills. Little did they know, all of this was part of a scheme by Rui Chi Entertainment...
