Rokudou, Rinne

六道りんね

Rinne is a boy of mixed human and shinigami heritage who resides in the human world, despite his grandmother's invitation to live with her. He lived with his grandfather until the latter died, and now dwells in an abandoned club building at the school he attends. He performs the duties of a shinigami, though he requires tools that a true shinigami would not need and that are quite inexpensive, often costing around ¥500 or ¥1,000. He also possesses the expensive Haori of the Underworld (Yomi no Haori), a robe that allows Rinne to remain unseen by ordinary living beings and, when reversed, turns a ghost into a solid being. Being short on money, he is eager to pick up money, food, or any kind of offering made by the students; he also refuses to spend money on rent, uniforms, or many other common necessities. Rinne's name is taken from "Rinne," the cycle of resurrection present in Buddhism, and Rokudo, the six paths that comprise it.
