Rinnosuke's regular clothes are very complex and difficult to draw so I designed this casual alternate outfit.
"Ahoge" is the Japanese word for those cowlick pieces of hair; they are usually used to give characters a comical appearance. I decided to put them on the yukkuri but keep them away from human Rinnosuke.
Rinnosuke-types (Kourin) are another relatively rare type of yukkuri. A notorious pack-rat, a Kourin will collect up random objects in one large pile, which it will proudly proclaim as its "shop". For some unknown reason, Kourin-types will only willingly reproduce with other Kourin-types. They can be tricked into doing it with others, but will faint and die upon learning the deception.
Okay, just wondering since there's no comics of them. Is that from stories? >>Kourin-types will only willingly reproduce with other Kourin-types Not if VIVI has her way...
That's a good idea you've brought up. The thing is, I could spin the yukkuri's personality many ways. It could be trying to fanatically sell goods... or, since Rinnosuke collects many objects, the yukkuri could be trying to horde and hide everything.
My theory is that every yukkuri type has a different idea of an "easy place." Reimus and Marisas like breaking into homes and declaring it their easy place. Yuuka types find gardens and declare it their easy place. Rinnosuke's like either hording objects they've stolen or instead of breaking into homes like Reimu they only break into shops, another interesting story possibility.
The problem is that when you choose a theory you limit yourself so I'm trying to choose the path that opens up the most possibilities.
How about make this yukkuri`s personality up-to-U,SUN? Since there wasn`t rinnosuke type yukkuri in other yukkuri comics.It`s gonna be the new yukkuri ever.
@ poweryoga You are right on that statement about Kowakourin, actually the character is a Yukkuri Youkai. I posted the fanfic of the Legend of Kowakourin in this picture's comments, see post #3684.
