Rio is a character featured in Yakuza 4. She is the number one hostess at Club Shine. She can only be requested by Shun Akiyama.

Profile

Appearance

At work, she wears a white dress, two necklaces, a pair of star-shaped earrings, and a bracelet. Outside of work, she wears a cream trench coat and a pair of boots. Her extended nails are removable as they are stuck on by double-sided tape, so they won't interfere with her guitar practices.

Personality

Despite her sexy looks, she is quite a talented writer, musician and a former table tennis player in her junior high. She likes chocolate, but also started having gelatin and collagen-rich desserts to keep her skin smooth. Given that she has many interests, she doesn't tend to stick at a job for more than 2 years. She doesn't tend to wear watches.

Involvement

Yakuza 4: 2010

Rio and Akiyama mull over getting the old-looking dog to give her own dog a companion. Given that it takes time to get him groomed and cleaned, they go on a date while they wait.

On her next date with Akiyama, Rio mulls over posing nude for a pin-up model job after her article was published and she has made up with her high school bully because she disapproves Rio's choice of being a hostess.

After much thought, Rio decides to go to the interview. However, Rio is asked to not only strip but to also film with a male co-star. Akiyama concludes that the agency is a front for call-girl service, so he fights them off. He then introduces a legit modeling agency. She reveals that she would like to strip in front of Akiyama. They then end up outside Yoshida Batting Center.

Before that though, I'd always been intrigued by the idea of being a hostess.	So what do you think, now that you're doing it?	+
	What about it interested you?
	You're a little different from the other girls.	-

As for the rest...	"Leave it to Rio!"	-
	"Rio the Samba Queen"
	"Rio's All-Night Carnival"	+

Hehehe. I doubt anyone else will buy him. Plus, he's all alone now that his sister's gone.	You want a dog that looks like an old man?
	Sounds like fate. You should buy him.	+
	Do you really want a dog that nobody else wants?	-

Hmm... Seven, eight, nine... I think around ten, maybe just under that.	Nothing wrong with showing a little skin.	+
	Aren't you embarrassed?	+
	You should dress up as a sexy bunny girl next.	+

I have. I don't have the time to practice as much as I should, but I'm going to do my best to play well!	I hear a lot of people quit after a few weeks.
	Isn't it hard to play with nails like that?	+
	Why did you pick the guitar?	+

You think so, huh?	All right, then. Let's play!	+
	How long have you been playing?	-
	Isn't table tennis kind of lame?	+

Hehe, I guess you're right, but I can't help it.	Maybe I should go with you next time.	-
	Hot springs are nice, aren't they?	+
	I bet you look good in a yukata.	+

Oh yeah! And it's not just one, but both legs!! I mean, Come on!	Both legs bouncing sounds annoying.	+
	I sometimes do that myself.	-
	Do you know why people do that?	+

Yep, that's right.	How much would you say you've recovered?	+
	I sort of understand what you mean.	+
	That's a positive way to look at things.	+

But that seems to be a rare trait.	Do you notice things about other people?	+
	Wouldn't that be kind of annoying?	-
	I could never do that. I'm not very observant.	+

Maybe I just get bored too easily. I'm a jack of all trades and master of none.	I'm the same way.	+
	That's not good.
	Don't worry about it. You're still young.	+

I see...	The problem is how you carry yourself.	+
	I can think of worse problems.	-
	That's too bad.	+

And, well... The photographer asked if I wanted to try it.	Sounds like it could be fun.	-
	That doesn't seem like a good idea.	-
	Whaaat?!	+

Not at all.	Do you tend to black out when you drink?	+
	That's impossible.	+
	I bet you were embarrassed when you noticed.	+

She's sooo cute when she laughs. She's a really nice girl.	I can't imagine you making weird faces.
	You care for other girls here, don't you?	+
	Show me the face you made.	+

I love it, but seems it doesn't love me!	What's the big deal? It's just raw shrimp.	-
	I thought you were talking about a man.	+
	Are there other foods you can't eat?	+

Hehehe! We wouldn't eat our lunches early every day or run to the school store for fried chicken either.	I bet I'd like it there if I were a girl.	+
	I wouldn't mind being a teacher there.	+
	Wait, fried chicken at the school store?!	+

Yeah, pretty much!	That relationship's over. Forget about it.	+
	So basically, you don't like stupid men.	+
	Maybe you need a masochistic boyfriend.	-

So I was just imagining how you'd eat one, Akiyama-san.	I take big bites.	+
	I take my time and lick it.	+
	I always throw away the cone.	-

Hmm... Hmm! Yes!	That's not a bad thing.	+
	Then you should make this decision on your own.	-
	You could try something else.

She said she saw me in the magazine and apologized for how she'd treated me.	That's great to hear.	+
	I wonder which photos she saw.	+
	Sounds like being in the magazine was worth it.	+

I wouldn't mind trying it, but...	I'm against it, personally.	+
	It doesn't really matter what I say, does it?	-
	If you're not sure, why don't you just try it?	+

The first thing I do when I get home is clean up after him...	They say dogs resemble their masters.	-
	But you sound like you're enjoying yourself.	+
	It sounds like he could use better training.	-

Ah, I see. That I can understand.	You should try to be more aware of your behavior.	-
	Your personality can't change that quickly.	+
	You shouldn't worry too much about it.	-

I've always dreamt about running with my dogs on a white, sandy beach.	Is that all?	-
	You're only taking your dogs?	+
	That seems really innocent. I like it.	+

Well, it was Placton something.	You can't remember the first song you learned?	-
	Can you sing and play at the same time?	+
	I'd like to hear it sometime.	+

Yeah...	How long did you run away for?	+
	I can understand how you must've felt.	+
	Your mom must've been worried about you.	-

Oh! Don't scare me like that.	I like girls with pretty eyes.	+
	I like girls with curves in the right places.	-
	I'm looking at my type of girl right now.

So... How should I put this? Is it okay for me to fall in love with this person?	This isn't really my kind of topic.	+
	Is this a trap?	-
	Of course it's okay!	+
