OVA
Description
Rin Tōyama is Eagle Jump's art director and background department head, possessing neck-length dark purple hair with swept bangs and purple eyes. Considerate and supportive, she functions as a maternal figure offering emotional assistance to colleagues facing difficulties. She maintains an especially close bond with Kou Yagami, providing steadfast support during Kou's professional hurdles and personal struggles, including past workplace bullying. Initially unbeknownst to Kou, Rin harbors profound romantic feelings for her, displaying visible jealousy when Kou distributes identical Valentine's chocolates. Their relationship evolves reciprocally, culminating in marriage after Japan legalizes same-sex unions, as documented in the series' final volume extras.
Hailing from Aichi Prefecture, Rin joined Eagle Jump at 18 and swiftly became Kou's primary confidant. During *Fairies Story 3*'s development, she reassures new hire Aoba Suzukaze about work quality and advises against overstressing Kou's critiques. She mediates team conflicts like office temperature disputes and socializes outside work—commuting with Aoba, attending welcome parties where she drinks alcohol and mentions lacking a boyfriend.
Her responsibilities expand during *Peco*'s production, adding assistant producer duties while retaining art direction. She supports Kou through creative blocks, rejecting derivative character designs before encouraging Kou's return as art director. Rin facilitates Kou's mentorship of Aoba, intervening during harsh critiques to resolve their clashes. When Kou accepts a job in France, Rin sustains their relationship long-distance, visiting during New Year's for shared experiences like Eiffel Tower viewings, including lighthearted misunderstandings over French greetings.
During company events like a ski-resort OVA, Rin nurses Kou through illness and joins group activities such as hot-spring bathing. Her personal growth emerges through pursuing professional aspirations like becoming a producer—a goal discussed with Kou. Throughout, Rin balances nurturing support with assertive moments, enforcing office rules or confronting Kou over forgotten commitments, reflecting her multidimensional role within both the team and her relationship.
