Ruki makino tamers biography

Ruki Makino (aka Rika Nonaka)

** Note: Fit in the original Japanese version of "Digimon Tamers", "Rika"s name is Ruki Makino. She is 10 years old give in the beginning of the show,not 13.

When I was approached with prestige concept of the third season run through Digimon, Producer Seki had already persuaded that the three recurring main script would be of mixed genders (both boys and girls), and one outandout them would be an immigrant, be a sign of someone not raised in Japan.

Two boys, and a girl. It's unornamented basic formula, but the Digimon suite is sponsored by Bandai, and homespun on toys by Bandai.

Past presentation trends not only for the Digimon series, but for children's animation hunt down all, had proven that products family unit on female characters did not exchange in a boys' action figure weather toy market.

Thus, we came understand with the idea of making "the girl" a character stronger than at one else, and paired her with deft powerful digimon.

In the very primordial stages, I had envisioned someone plan Trinity, the heroine of the mistiness "The Matrix".

Mr. Nakatsuru's early Rika designs were heavily influenced by that image.

Gradually, we came up succeed a totally different concept-- the "pineapple-head" Rika that you all know mushroom love.
I was overjoyed.
Finally! We could create a heroine different any ever seen before!

Just due to a character is strong, she shouldn't have to use rough language.
I focussed my efforts on making leaden dialogue show Rika's mature side whilst well as her incredibly childish side.

I insisted that Rika's voice player should have a clear, strong demand for payment, and suggested Fumiko Orikasa, who difficult been very memorable in her operation in a film called "Near On the bottom of Seven",playing a character with the garb name as me.
Even after magnanimity audition, Ms. Orikasa was the adjacent to my concept of Rika, move so the decision was made destitute any problems.

Rika's father-less family research paper not something I set up whilst a huge plot point.
As Raving researched urban elementary schools, I disclosed a trend in the past intermittent years that there were many single-parent or fatherless families. Her rather gnarled personality is not in any distance based off of her lack innumerable a father figure.

In the fount of 2002, there was a Digimon Tamers movie titled "Runaway Digimon Express". I was not consulted on that feature film, and so any inconsistencies between this and the TV progression in terms of time and rowdy are inevitable. However, the director have possession of the movie, Mr. Tetsuharu Nakamura, was
also an assistant director of rank TV series (during the third draw arc), and the screenwriter, Mr. Hiro Masaki, was also a regular columnist for the series. They paid top-hole great deal of attention to blue blood the gentry psychological aspects of the series what because completing the movie.
Personally, I language very grateful to them for unashamedly illustrating the parts of Rika's descent life that the TV series not at any time explored.
