Asu Rito is the fifth upcoming rival of Ayano Aishi and the leader of the Sports Club in Yandere Simulator.

Appearance

Asu has tanned skin, short blonde hair with a small ahoge, and sky blue eyes. Her bust size is 1.25

Once she is fully implemented, she will wear the default school uniform with black and yellow shorts under her skirt, two black wristbands with yellow stripes, yellow swimming goggles on her forehead and a black and yellow jacket tied around her waist unless customized by the player. As the leader of the Sports Club, she wears the "Red Armband of Leadership" with a symbol of a person swimming on her left arm.

Asu's height is 164cm.

Personality

“

Asu is the president of the school's sports club. She's the top student athlete in the region, and many of her classmates predict that she'll be winning gold medals at the Olympics in a few years.
Asu won't actually appear at school until the fifth week of gameplay, but she will quickly make friends with Senpai. Senpai will be feeling drained after the last four weeks, and some exercise might be just what he needs to put his mind off of recent events.

Her cheerful and energetic nature makes it very easy for her to make friends - or find her way into someone's heart. Her easygoing attitude and glowing smile might steal Senpai's heart in no time at all...

”

— Description on official website.

Among the Personas that are currently implemented in the game, Asu will be Lovestruck.

According to YandereDev, "Asu is perpetually positive and energetic." Like Ai Doruyashi, she could be described as a "Genki Girl." She has a competitive nature which drives her to achieve the best scores, leading her to have the third best test scores among the rivals.

YandereDev says that Asu having an eating disorder wouldn't be fitting at all. In fact, she's the first person who would "tell you that proper nutrition is critical for peak athletic performance." He says that Asu would least likely be the rival to have an eating disorder. "If any rival had that trait, Asu would be the last candidate for it."

Asu monitors her blood sugar, and often checks up on her glycogen, electrolytes, protein, amino acids, and much more. She even eats a high carbohydrates 3-4 hours before a competition, and will eat a protein bar to "top it off" her energy levels. YandereDev compares this to making sure that a gasoline tank is full. Asu can and would effortlessly explain about dehydration and hypoglycemia causing numerous issues for athletes.

Asu is someone who can easily make friends with other people due to her friendly personality.

Routine

Though it is unknown at the moment, YandereDev has said that Asu's routine will put her in close proximity to Taro Yamada, as well as other students, making her harder to kill without a witness present. During the fifth week of gameplay, there will be a 5-day sports festival, involving several different activities.

Topics

The Conversational Topics Asu has opinions on are as follows:

Positive	Negative

Asu knows nothing of Osoro, other than that she is an intimidating delinquent, allegedly beating up a number of people.

Trivia

• Asu's full name, "Asu Rito" is a play on words. If athlete is translated into Japanese, it reads (アスリート; asurito).
• YandereDev's current reasoning for Asu being absent in the first four weeks of school is that she was training for the Olympics at a specialized institution.
• Swimming is Asu's favorite sport.
• If YandereDev were to replace a rival, Asu would likely be replaced.
• In YandereDev's Q&A, he stated that Asu will not have any self-defense capabilities, but she will have shorter reaction times, quicker reflexes, and will sprint faster than any other character. These factors will be part of the reason as to why she will not be easy to eliminate.
• In the beginning, Asu was the rival YandereDev had the least amount of plans for, due to this he decided to spend a lot of time creating new plans for her more than any other rival which may make Asu the most interesting rival.
• Asu has a pet goldfish.
• Asu had an "innate interest" in fitness and health since her childhood. She felt as if it was baked into her DNA, and that it was her life's calling.
• Asu only eats healthy, so questions about her favourite candy or soda are often not thought about.
• She watches diet and workout advice videos.
• In an email, YandereDev answered that if Asu wasn't in Japan, she'd be in the United States.
• If she was an influencer, she would post health and fitness tip videos.
• If someone slapped Asu, she would have a more mature reaction than the rest of the 202X rivals, but would still be angry. However, while she wouldn't slap the person back, she would demand an apology from them.
• Out of all of the 202X rivals, Asu ranks #7 in intelligence and general competence.
• When outside of school, Asu wears boyish clothing with shorts or pants instead of skirts.
• YandereDev describes her parents as cheery, but do not share Asu's love for athleticism.
