A &quot;cool&quot; girl is the best way to describe her. Although Rui bears the same surname as Minami, they are in fact not at all related. Rui was put into Minami's care when her father Cole Window, former chief of Heavens' recovery team, lost his life to avenge his friends. Minami treats Rui as if she was her own daughter. When Rui first appeared in the Venezuela arc, she would challenge Aoba many times to become the main pilot of the Moribito. The two would become friends through the process, but their rivalry never ends. Rui pilots the Nana-Two Way Custom with Minami during the Venezuela arc, but she will switch to the Nana-Two Mild in the Tokyo arc.

Aoba used to spend all her time building model robots. But after a strange enemy emerges from beneath the planet’s surface, she joins an elite unit that uses giant robots to save the world! Aoba’s new life is dangerous, and the action can only intensify when a greater threat appears from the shadows.

But one day she meets a mysterious man named Ryohei who tells her that she is a "cognate"; a person with special powers that enable them to pilot robots called Jinki. All across the world, a mysterious phenomenon is occurring, known as the "Lost Life Phenomenon", where an entire town is destroyed from a series of mysterious nuclear-like explosions. Akao discovers that this is not a natural phenomenon, and that it is being caused by a mysterious and evil group called the Hachi Shojin, who are also cognates, and pilot their own Jinkis. Even though she hates to fight, Akao must pilot a Jinki to protect the ones she loves.
