* OlderThanHeLooks: He's 39 during his first appearance in Volume 6. At the end of the series, he should be about 41. You wouldn't guess any of this just by looking at him. Even [[WordofGod Takaya]] [[LampshadeHanging admits she draws him very young looking.]]

* NonIndicativeName: His cursed animal is called the Rooster, but he turns into a sparrow.

[[quoteright:199:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Renisuzu_5954.jpeg]]

The Horse of the Zodiac and a manga-only character. Cold, stubborn, and fiercely independent, Rin is very closed-off as a result of her very abusive and traumatic past.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HoukoKuwashima (JP, ''The Last Story'' Voice Comic)

* AbusiveParents: His father hates him, refers to him as "it", and claims his mother committed suicide from shame and disgust at having him. While his mother often told Kyo she loved him, Kyo believes she was lying and suspects that she was overcompensating to hide that she was deeply afraid of his true form. Very late in the manga, it is heavily implied [[spoiler: that she ''did'' love him in her own way, and was actually DrivenToSuicide by her husband.]]

* ForYourOwnGood: When he first appears in the manga he purposefully [[spoiler: removes Kyo's beads in front of Tohru, revealing his true form to her, because he wanted Kyo to confront the possibility that someone wouldn't reject him for it.]]

** Ren unknowingly despises what Akira believed truly symbolized how special their love was together: [[spoiler: Akito being born as God of the Zodiac]]. She obsesses over [[spoiler: whatever's in a box of his]] as [[MagicFeather evidence of his love]] that she says is hers by right, that was left to Akito [[spoiler: but, in truth, prepared by the Sohma's Head Maid in order to console her over her father's death. It did very little to once she opened it. It's empty]]. After [[BreakThemByTalking what Shigeru said to her beforehand]], Ren's left an EmptyShell of a mess once she sees what's inside.

** Their relationship with their husbands and daughters. Ren cared for Akira who was [[YourDaysAreNumbered terminally ill]] and reached out to him when she saw how lonely he was. Katsuya was a student teacher who worried about a troubled Kyoko and his death from a flu was very sudden. Ren threatened to abort Akito unless [[spoiler: she was raised as a boy]] out of fear Akira could love her more. They went irreconcilable over their child until very the end. Kyoko was happy to have Katsuya baby but worried that their child's life would be miserable because of her, but they were still a happy family upon Katsuya's death.

* {{Hypocrite}}: After all her talk of how a man is destined for one woman and that Akira loved no one else but her, she brushes off any authenticity to the relationship between Shigeru and Akito and easily starts one up with him herself. It's possibly due to the similarities she sees he has with Akira: belief he's suffering from the Zodiac Bond and only she can ease his pain, falling in love with him as she believes [[LongingLook he secretly desires her]]. She [[VillainousBreakdown snaps]] when [[MindRape Shigeru tells her how he only slept with her as she looked like Akito if she'd raised female, and mocks her over how ''only'' she would need a box to prove Akira's love for her]].

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler: Had she not said yes to the presence of Tohru in Shigure's household, the curse would never have been broken.]] But by then, Akito has realized her mistakes and has accepted it.

* GlowingEyesOfDoom: During moments of high emotion Kyo's pupils become cat-like slits. When he gets extremely excited his eyes will start glowing, too.

* AbusiveParents: His father hates him, refers to him as "it", and claims his mother committed suicide from shame and disgust at having him. Very late in the manga, it is heavily implied [[spoiler: that she ''did'' love him in her own way, and was actually DrivenToSuicide by her husband.]]

* PainfulTransformation: [[spoiler:Unlike the other cursed Sohmas' transformations, which happen immediately in a puff of smoke, Kyo's transformation into the cat's true form isn't pretty. This is made especially clear in the 2019 anime, where Kyo actually transforms onscreen and he sounds like he's in a lot of pain while it happens.]]

* PainfulTransformation: [[spoiler:His transformation into the cat's true form does not sound pretty.]]

* PowerLimiter: The beads he wears on his left wrist, which prevent him from transforming into the hideous, foul-smelling beast that is the Cat's "true form". They also serve to block PowerIncontinence.

* ForYourOwnGood: When he first appears in the manga he purposefully [[spoiler: removes Kyou's beads in front of Tohru, revealing his true form to her, because he wanted Kyou to confront the possibility that someone wouldn't reject him for it.]]

* StepfordSmiler: The Depressed type, since her perpetual positivity is hiding serious self-esteem issues and an unhealthy inability to move on from her mother's death. This isn't really touched on in the 2001 anime where she comes off as more of ThePollyanna, but the 2019 anime hints at this by having her up her usual perkiness at points where it's clear she's not okay.

* SenseiChan: After some of her female students address her as Mayu-chan-sensei, she demands (jokingly) that they call her [[Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka Great Teacher]] Mayuko (some translated it as Mayuko-daisensei-sama).
