Oka Ruto

Oka Ruto is one of the female students that currently attend Akademi High School and a future rival in Yandere Simulator.

Background
Oka will not be present at school for the first few weeks of the game. While she is absent, Shin Higaku will be her substitute. The substitute will allow the player to join the club and participate in club activities while Oka is absent. In the debug build, the player will be able to see Oka walking around, but her current features and routine are temporary and will change in the future.

Appearance
Oka wears the default female school uniform, unless customized by the player.

Oka's first hairstyle in the November 15th, 2015 Build was exactly the same as Sakyu Basu's, except with hair covering her left eye. It was light purple.

As of the December 2nd, 2015 Build, she has messy, shoulder-length hair that is dark blue. She has a fringe hanging down the middle of her face, flowing across her right cheek. Her eyes are light purple. She has large black rings around her eyes due to lack of sleep. Her lips and skin are pale, and the upper half of her face is slightly shadowed. Since she is a club president, she wears a "Red Armband of Leadership" on her left arm. Her bust size is 1.

Like all Occult Club members, Oka wears a black choker with a silver spider on it. If the Occult Club disbands, she will not wear the choker anymore.

She walks very slowly, with her hands clasped together. Oka is always looking shyly at the ground. As of the June 1st, 2016 build Oka wears light blue-grey thigh high spiderweb stockings and fingerless gloves. Her panties are also black. In the future, Oka will have very pale skin. According to her full body reference, it appears that in the future, Oka will have a pentagram drawn on her armband.

In Oka's original design, she was supposed to wear a turtleneck underneath a blazer. It was scrapped because Oka's model could not support two models of clothing at the same time. As of May 22nd, 2016, this may be possible.

Description
"Oka is the president of the school's occult club. She is completely convinced that ghosts, demons, and black magic really exist, and wants to dedicate her life to proving that these things are real.

Oka is absent for school during the first three weeks of gameplay for mysterious reasons. As soon as she returns to school, she is immediately smitten by Senpai. Due to the fact that she falls for him in an extremely short span of time, she believes that there must be something supernatural about him, and begins studying him intently.

She is an awkward girl who is regarded as "creepy" by the majority of the school, but she is actually quite harmless, and some people even find her to be endearing. Perhaps Senpai will think that there is something charming about her unusual nature..."

Personality
Oka is a stalker, but not a yandere, as she is too shy to harm others. Her mannerisms are meant to make her look shy, timid, and socially awkward. She has been obsessed with anything paranormal since early childhood.

Among the personas currently implemented in the game, she is a Coward. If Oka sees a corpse or witnesses a murder she will start begging the player to spare her life in exchange for her silence. She cannot participate in physical fights against murderers. It is unknown if she will be given a different personality later on in the game, due to the fact that some rivals may have the Clingy/Damsel persona. Because she is shy, she will hide her face if the player aims their phone at her.

Routine
At 7:05 AM, Oka enters the school grounds. She walks to her locker at 7:10 AM and changes from her outdoor shoes to her indoor shoes. At 7:15 AM, she walks to the rooftop and stalks the Basu sisters in search of proof that they are actually supernatural beings, as stated in her Student Profile. If both sisters are dead, she will stay in the Occult Club room instead until class begins.

At 8:00 AM, Oka walks into Classroom 3-2 and sits at her desk. She starts her morning classes at 8:30 AM, and leaves to go to the Occult Club at 1:00 PM.

Oka walks back to class again at 1:30 PM and finishes her afternoon classes at 3:30 PM. She then heads to her locker and lingers there until 3:50 PM, when she heads again to the Occult Club and stays there until the end of the day. If the player joins in club activities, she will unsuccessfully try to summon a demon with the other members from 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM.

If the Occult Club is inactive, she will socialize with the other former members outside of the club when she would normally attend it (1:00 PM and 3:30 PM).

At night, she stays up very late researching paranormal and supernatural things. Usually, she watches horror films and reads creepypastas. She does not get much sleep because of this.

Occult Club


She is the founder and president of the Occult Club. As with other leaders, the player will have to talk with her to join. If she dies, or less than five members of the club remain, the club shuts down. Any club members who witness the player's crimes will report to her, and Yandere-chan will be either kicked out or unable to join the club. In the future, if the club has disbanded before her designated week arrives, there will be a short cut scene about this, and she will express some very sad feelings.

The Basu Sisters
She stalks the Basu sisters (Sakyu Basu and Inkyu Basu) daily, in a futile search for evidence that they are supernatural beings. This is stated in Oka's Student Profile.

She truly believes that they are supernatural beings, and dismisses any evidence that suggests otherwise.

Senpai

 * Main Article: Senpai

Since she is a future rival, she will have a crush on him and will confess to him on Friday. Oka is a very superstitious person, which might play a role in how she develops a crush on Senpai. Since she is very strange, the way they will meet will be comical.

Shin Higaku

 * Main Article: Shin Higaku

Oka trusts him to operate the club when she is not present, according to his Student Profile.

Suitor

 * Main Article: Suitors

In the future, Yandere-chan can matchmake Oka with her suitor.

Trivia

 * Her favorite "creepypasta" is anything popular on Japan's internet in the year that the game takes place.
 * In November 2015, YandereDev said that one of the rivals may be a student who has anxiety and is always paranoid. This description resembles Oka Ruto.
 * Oka's dark secret may be related to the reason for her absence from school for the first few weeks.
 * Oka's name is a play on the word "Occult" when transcribed into Japanese Katakana: Okaruto (オカルト)
 * YandereDev finds Oka very cute, and has stated that he thinks she is the cutest rival.
 * Oka was first created through a suggestion thread. In one of the first "suggestion threads", someone pitched the idea of a goth girl rival. The girl who first popped into YandereDev's head was a shy, cute girl.
 * In the future, it may be possible for Oka to be visible as a ghost after she is killed.
 * One of Oka's elimination methods may involve the Phantom Girl.
 * Oka has played Corpse Party before.
 * According to YandereDev, she is "one-third" Hex Maniac from Pokémon X & Y and Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, "one-third" Tharja from Fire Emblem: Awakening, and "one-third" Tomoko from WataMote.
 * Oka was the only NPC who had a custom walk animation. It was the same animation used when Yandere-chan stands near Senpai. This walk animation was removed in later builds, however YandereDev eventually realized it was missing and re-implemented in June 1st, 2016 Build.
 * Oka was implemented in the November 15th, 2015 Build.
 * Since she will currently run away if she witnesses Yandere-chan committing murder, if the latter is a member of the Occult Club she will be kicked out via text message after the school day ends. This may change in the future if she is given a different personality unique to rivals.
 * Oka makes a cameo in the Gaming Club by appearing in the stealth game. She is shown stalking Rival-chan and Mai Waifu.
 * As of the August 15, 2016 Build, she, Kokona Haruka, Musume Ronshaku and Midori Gurin are the only students in Akademi High to have different colored panties.
 * As of the July 24th, 2016 Build, she has a much better 'peek around the corner' animation when stalking the Basu sisters.

Bugs

 * Oka will walk around in circles, pausing every once in a while, while stalking the Basu Sisters. This can be fixed by bumping into her.
