Tennoji Rina

''This article is about Tennoji Rina as a VTuber. For information on her as a character in the Love Live Series, see the Love Live Wiki.''

Tennoji Rina (天王寺璃奈) is a female Japanese Virtual YouTuber who appeared on a special series of videos in the official Love Live YouTube Channel. She is originally a character from the Love Live! multimedia series, specifically from the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

Personality
Rina's isn't good at conveying her emotions through her face, so she requires the help of the "Rina-chan Board" — a sketchbook that she draws facial expressions on, and the "Auto Emotion Convert Rina-chan Board", a gadget she made herself that she's seen wearing on stage and in her videos which shows her knack for technology and creating things.

Despite her inability to express emotions well, she's actually a really bubbly person especially when with friends and when performing in front of people.

Appearance
She has pink hair with an ahoge and black cat eared headphones with a fake screen covering her face.

Background
On 26 December, the official Love Live staff Twitter announced that Rina would become a VTuber "on behalf of the IT Utilization Team" with uploads scheduled to premiere on 27 December, 30 December, and 2 January.

On 27 December, Rina's first video premiered on the official Love Live YouTube channel.
