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 on top, and bangs that cover her forehead. The bangs are swept slightly to the left, and she also has small side strands framing her face. Her eyes are a sky blue color. In JSON files, her bust size is set to 1.25. Her height is 164cm (5'4").

Asu wears the 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. When outside of school, she wears boyish clothing with shorts or pants instead of skirts.

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.

Asu is described as "perpetually positive and energetic", fitting the "genki" archetype. Despite her overall friendly nature, she has a competitive side that drives her to achieve the best scores in everything, including academics, leading her to have the third-best test scores among the rivals.

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". She's not only physically fit but also very knowledgeable in fitness and nutrition theory and can effortlessly explain it, which makes her extremely unlikely to have an eating disorder. She only eats healthy food and may not have a favorite candy or soda, regularly monitors her nutrients levels, and eats a high-carbohydrate meal 3-4 hours before a competition and will eat a protein bar to "top it off".

Being physically fit for many areas, including climbing, parkour and even hypothetically being able to climb a building, as well as having above-average fighting ability, Asu would not use physical violence against others. If someone would slap her, she'd demand an apology rather than slap back, also she is someone who never uses profanity. If she'd witness the bullies bullying a student, Asu would intervene and demand the bullies to stop.

Routine

Though it is unknown at the moment, YandereDev has said that Asu's routine will put her near 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.

Asu is absent in the first four weeks because she's training for the Olympics at a specialized institution. During that time, she attends her classes via the SAIKOU laptop on her desk.

Miscellaneous

• Music genre: Asu enjoys listening to music that is fast-tempo for her to jog to.
• Videos, TV shows: She watches diet and workout advice videos, and on TV, she watches sports documentaries, which involve watching other athletes' performances in competition.
• Social media content: While she uses social media, she doesn't actively try to become a content creator, so her follower numbers aren't significant. But if she were an influencer, she would post health and fitness tip videos.
• Favorite sport: Swimming.
• iPhone: If Asu had an iPhone, she would have the third-latest model.

Relationships

Taro Yamada

Main article: Taro Yamada

Like most other rivals, Asu will have a crush on Taro. If the two entered a relationship, he would become an athlete.

If another girl tries to hit on Taro, even if he doesn't reciprocate, Asu would feel a little jealous.

Others

• Osoro Shidesu: Asu knows nothing of Osoro, other than that she is an intimidating delinquent, allegedly beating up several people.
• Family: Asu's parents are as cheerful as her, but do not share their daughter's love for athleticism.
• Oka Ruto: Despite Oka's weird interests and inability to socialize, Asu would be willing to be friends with her, alongside Amai Odayaka and Hanako Yamada.
• Her Pet: Asu has a pet goldfish.
• Her Clubmates: Every boy thinks differently of her. Describing this relationship between Asu and her clubmates would lead to spoilers.

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).
• If YandereDev were to replace a rival, Asu would likely be replaced.
  • 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.
• 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 why she will not be easy to eliminate.
• In an email, YandereDev answered that if Asu weren't in Japan, she'd be in the United States.
• Out of all of the 202X rivals, Asu ranks #7 in terms of academic knowledge. In terms of intelligence and general knowledge, her rank might be slightly different.
  • Among the 202X rivals' pureness, Asu is ranked in third place.
