Exactly one year before Yandere Simulator takes place, Raibaru was the president of the Martial Arts Club. She was a very good teacher, and taught many students self-defense, even if they weren't actually members of the club. Many students underestimated Raibaru due to her cute and girly appearance. A lot of students challenged her to duels, believing that they could easily defeat her...but until then she never lost a single match. She was very proud of her 100% win streak. It earned her the nickname of 'The Indestructible Rival' by students and 'Mysterious Obstacle' by Ayano Aishi, the player. Raibaru's star pupil was Budo. Budo learned many things from his sensei Raibaru and held an immense amount of respect for her. At the end of the semester, Budo unexpectedly challenged Raibaru to a duel. She accepted his challenge, and to everyone's surprise, Budo defeated Raibaru, shattering the 100% win streak that she had worked so hard to maintain. However, Raibaru was not angry when she was defeated; she was relieved! For a long time, she had wanted to stop practicing martial arts and pick up another hobby, but she felt obligated to keep practicing martial arts just because of her winning streak. Now that her streak was broken, and one of her own students had surpassed her, she felt like it was finally okay to quit martial arts. Raibaru resigned as the club's president and promoted Budo to the position of club leader. All of her pupils were very sad to see her go, but they respected her decision and accepted Budo as their new club president. After the school semester ended, Raibaru made a new friend - Osana Najimi. They spent a lot of time with one another and quickly became best friends. In fact, the two of them grew so close that they even started to wear matching accessories! At the point in time when Yandere Simulator takes place, it's rare to see Osana without Raibaru at her side. The two of them have become almost inseparable, which makes eliminating Osana hard. Even though she's not participating in the Martial Arts Club anymore, Raibaru is still at peak physical condition and is more than capable of breaking bones in order to protect herself or her friends. This means that the safest place in school is at Raibaru's side and means that the player will have a pretty hard time to eliminate Osana if Raibaru is near her...

Raibaru appears to be serene, cute, and girly, but she is actually tough, scary, and brutal around criminals. Raibaru is only sociable and open to Osana Najimi, so even befriended and seduced students will refuse to distract her (which involves asking an embarrassing question) since they don't want to get on her bad side. If Ayano talks to Raibaru, Osana will stop and wait. If Raibaru hears any auditory distractions such as giggling and the radio, she will run instead of walk to the distraction. She will also run instead of walk if Ayano asks her to go away. Prior to the March 22nd 2021 build, Raibaru would not speak to the player at all, would ignore audio distractions, and ignore suspicious objects on the ground.

If Raibaru witnesses Ayano kill someone, she will run up to Ayano and apprehend her without starting any struggle mini-game, which results in a Game Over; the latter will be instantaneous regardless of Ayano's Strength factor.

Unless poisoned, she is able to sense, dodge, and apprehend anyone attacking her, whether by stealth or not. She also cannot be killed by mind slaves unless the mind slave in question is Osana. However, while being attacked by a mindslave, Raibaru is rendered vulnerable and Ayano can help the mind slave stab her, creating the only proper way of killing her with a weapon. Strangely, doing this will not cause anyone nearby, including Osana, to become witnesses and blame the murder on Ayano.

Routine General Most of Raibaru's routine involves her talking with Osana near the tree where Rival-chan stood at and following Osana around, even watching as Osana interacts with Taro Yamada.

If Raibaru has low enough reputation (at least -33), she will have a conversation with Osana telling her that she wants to leave her alone due to the rumors against her. Despite Osana's protests, Raibaru will permanently leave Osana alone. If Osana has died, gone missing, or losing friendship with Osana, she will go to the tree in the plaza she usually hung out with Osana and mourn. She will do this during lunchtime as well. During cleaning time, she leaves the school.

Relationship with Budo Masuda: Budo is her former star disciple and the one who defeated her winning streak. She allowed him to succeed her as president of the Martial Arts Club as a reward for defeating her. They both seem like good friends, and Raibaru is eager to help him with operating the Martial Arts Club (Budo's task).
