Rin Okumura is the main protagonist of the story. He and his younger twin brother, Yukio, were born from Satan and Yuri Egin. He attends the True Cross Academy to become an Exorcist.

AppearanceEdit

Rin has messy black hair (dark blue in the anime) that sweeps down in his eyes, pale skin, and dark blue eyes. While in his human form, Rin exhibits a number of physical traits that hint at his demonic nature, such as prominent canine teeth, slightly pointed ears, and a black, fur-tufted tail (he keeps it hidden under his shirt). As a demon, Rin gains two blue flames that looks like horns floating above his head, long elf-like ears, and has red-blue pupils while his irises remain bright blue. The blue flames also blaze around other places of his body, mostly at the tip of his tail.

Before going to the True Cross Academy, Rin was often seen wearing a blue hoodie and a pair of black jeans with chains on the side, giving the impression of a rebellious nature. He was also seen wearing a white jacket with big pockets and various decorations on it and a pair of gloves. Because of how often he got into fights, Rin was seen with band-aids over his cheeks and fingers, wounds which were usually taken care of by Yukio.

While in True Cross Academy, Rin wears the school's uniform, which consists of a white shirt, a loose necktie, a black jacket, and black pants. He is also seen carrying around Kurikara that is covered in a red sleeve. In class, he is occasionally seen with his bangs pinned up so he can read his studies.

PersonalityEdit

Rin has a protective and supportive personality. He can be very violent and tends to get into fights (possibly caused by his demon side), but is actually kindhearted. He supports his friends and tries to encourage and help them. He also seems very protective of Yukio, and aims to surpass him one day. Rin is clueless at times such as saying phrases wrong or thinking that the Kraken's fins are ears. Despite this, he is able to connect with someone's feelings to his own, such as Shiemi Moriyama's grief over her grandmother and Ryūji Suguro's ambition to defeat Satan. He's not the type of person for school or studying, though he was able to gain a junior high diploma and become an Exwire.

Unlike his younger brother, Rin is immature, which leads other people into believing that he is the younger twin out of Yukio and himself. He is headstrong (figuratively as well as literally) and is often very open with his friends. However, when his friends found out about his demon heritage, some became afraid of him, and thought that he was unstable and thus dangerous, but they slowly got used to him and accepted him during the Kyoto Arc.

He seems to have a small soft-spot for animals. In the beginning of the manga, the reason he had gotten into a fight with Reiji Shiratori and his delinquent gang was because they were torturing pigeons.
