He grew up under the strict authority of his father, which deeply affected his psyche. Akira describes his childhood thus: "Rui is his only son. And he tried to totally control him, so Rui went kind of autistic. You get glimpses of that in him even now. Whenever we played together, he'd stay in the corner. Wouldn't even smile. It was almost like... his eyes were dead." Shizuka Todo, his first love, was the only one who managed to bring him out of his shell during his childhood .

As a teenager, Rui is often lost in his thoughts and sleeps frequently. His favorite spot is the school's emergency stairwell, where he retreats to escape the world's chaos . He becomes a member of the F4, although he often seems disinterested in the group's power games . His encounter with Tsukushi Makino, a poor girl who dares to defy the F4, gradually awakens emotions in him that he thought were dead .
