The Many Faces of Tsugura Ren
Member
![]() |
I've been going through a lot of Skip Beat! fanfics lately, and I've noticed that people seem to be mixing up a lot of Ren's different personalities. Therefore, I decided to make a quick guide of Ren and all his different personas, with some added help from screencaps and scans from the manga and anime. (All caps/scans are taken from the same incidents for comparision reasons.)
I feel the need to warn Anime!Only watchers that all the personas under the 'spoiler' section haven't been shown in the anime yet. Once they're shown, I'll move them to join the others, but until then you should remain wary if you don't want to know about major events that won't come to pass for a while yet. Persona #1; Gentlemanly Smile Ren ![]() To the general public, Tsugura Ren is a perfect gentleman. He's polite, patient and charming nature combine with his killer good looks to make him irrisistable to the female population of Japan that are not members of the Love!Me Section. However, those closest to Ren know that he's not always the 'Nice Guy' he appears to be, and that he's capable of some very mean things, such as bullying a certian kouhai of his. ![]() ![]() Persona #2; Demon Lord Ren ![]() When Ren gets well and truly angry with someone (Usually Kyouko ![]() ![]() ![]() Persona #3; Corn ![]() I debated about posting this one under 'spoilers, but the way I see it, the vast majority of the fans have figured at least part of it out already, so meh. 'Corn' is a mysterious figure from Kyouko's childhood that Ren is heavily connected with, a boy she knew for only a few days, but got very close to. Unfortunately, I can't say much more then that just yet, but we should be getting more information about Corn from the anime soon-ish. ![]() Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide Persona #4; Night Emperor Ren I don't care what the Viz translation tries to tell you, This persona is called the Night Emperor, not the Night King. Emperors are so much more dignified then Kings, it's not even funny. I take this very seriously, since Night Emperor is my favorite 'Ren.' 'Ahem' Right now, that aside, Night Emperor is a fairly uncommon persona of Rens, triggered by his usually well controlled desire for Kyouko. It is often confused with the Demon Lord persona, since they are both basically dark, but rather then being angry and violent like the Demon Lord is, the Night Emperor is a sensuous and lustful persona. Whereas Kyouko is outright terrified of the Demon Lord, her apprehension of the Night Emperor stems from the fact that she doesn't know how to handle him. ![]() Persona #5; Hizuri Koun XD And finally we get to the 'Real' Ren. Hizuri Koun is the son of internationally acclaimed actor Hizuri Kuu, and model Hizuri Julie (Whom most fans suspect was the 'Greatest Model in the World' that inspired the demeanor of Kyouko's Natsu). Although Kuu himself is Japanese (and furthermore from Kyoto, same as Kyouko and Sho) Koun seems to have been born and raised mostly in the States. It was there that he started off his acting career, albeit badly. Though a lot of Koun's past is still shrouded with mystery, the impression given to the readers is that Koun lived a violent live, filled with frustration at constantly being compared to his father and not being able to find himself as an actor. Because of this, the president suggested that Koun to become an actor in Japan, outside of his father's shadow. Thus, 'Tsugura Ren' as we know him to be was born. ![]() There you have it! I'll be changing this as the story goes on, if more hidden aspects of Ren's personality are introduced to us and as the anime begins to catch up to the manga. |

I thought about putting in the part about Kyouko that you mentioned, but I figured it was better to concentrate on Ren himself instead. ![]() |

That was why it was only after she insisted that the shoot hadn't been for revenge that he really lost it, and why he calmed down a lot after she explained things clearly and verified that she still hadn't forgiven Shou for what he had done. Basically, he was jealous. ![]() |

...what about the faces of Ren where he starts realizing he can turn to Kyouko for help and that she will be there for him if he needs it? Like when he is sick? Or when he turns to Bo (Kyouko) for advice??
Ren does have many facets to his personality/character, I think though he is slowly managing to show more and more to Kyouko and he is feeling more comfortable in opening up himself to others and realizing that he is much stronger than he once was (when he was little)... |
Cosplaying as Yotsuba & Kyoko at Sakuracon and CHEERING FOR REN!!
