Rika Ichinose is one the main heroines of the Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm visual novel game and one of the main characters of the anime series. She is an honor student who attends a different school than Masaya Hinata, but they are neighbors.

Rika is a kind honor student, even though she acts tough and serious. She is almost adept to everything, but she can be obstinate, and she is unable to show her true self to others. She is also serious, but she likes cute things. Her very serious attitude affects her FC playstyle which makes her moves very predictable. In the visual novel, the goal for her FC playstyle was to turn from serious and predictable to mischievous and unpredictable.

The story is set on an archipelago of four islands far south of Japan or even the South Seas. It is all but a different world from modern Japan. From the discovery of anti-gravitons came the dream invention of anti-graviton shoes that let people fly the skies. They introduce people to a new realm by enabling flight with just one's own body strength, without feathers or engines. This led to the rise of the sport of "Flying Circus". 
 
The protagonist who once hoped for a future in this sport suffered a setback due to an overwhelming defeat, and withdrew from the sport for this and some other reason. However, he met the transfer student Asuka Kurashina, and in teaching her to fly the skies, the old passion returned. He takes part in the Flying Circus again.

The story is set on an archipelago of four islands far south of Japan or even the South Seas. It is all but a different world from modern Japan. From the discovery of anti-gravitons came the dream invention of anti-graviton shoes ("grash") that let people fly the skies. They introduce people to a new realm by enabling flight with just one's own body strength, without feathers or engines. This led to the rise of the sport of "Flying Circus" (dogfight race).
The protagonist who once hoped for a future in this sport suffered a setback due to an overwhelming defeat, and withdrew from the sport for this and some other reason. However, he met the transfer student Haruka Kurashina, and in teaching her to fly the skies, the old passion returned. He takes part in the Flying Circus again.
