Riku Tagariki

Riku Tagariki is the overarching protagonist of Corruptionists and the protagonist of the now defunct "Octo's Misadventures".

Born a Dark Latex, he seeks out Dr.K and Natsuya Katagawa in order to assassinate them.

Appearance
Riku has cinnamon hair that's so wavy you can duplicate DNA from that hair, turn it into a rope, and escape prison with it. He also has a long sleeve vest (sleeves are rolled up) with some shorts & red boots. In The Final Countdown, Riku instead dons a red jacket that doesn't have pockets, but keeps his fingerless gloves from 2005, the legwear is different as well; jeans with the knees torn. He also has a black tip (to represent his fur HAHA GATTI ) on the front of his hair, the tip represents a triangle.

Personality
As a kuudere, Riku never panics to being held at gunpoint, and will probably fight back to the hostage instead of being held hostage!
