Rinka Hayami

Rinka Hayami is a student in Korosensei's class 3-E in Kunugigaoka Junior High School. Rinka has medium-length wavy light brown hair and brown eyes (depicted as orange-brown and green in the anime). In her earlier appearances she wore her hair down, but after seeing her hairstyle was identical to Irina Jelavić's, she then began wearing them in low pigtails. In the anime, she has always styled her hair into low pigtails. Seven years after graduation, she is seen with longer hair that is no longer tied in pigtails. Rinka is a very stoic, businesslike and professional girl who has been compared to a working adult along with Chiba. As a result of her serious demeanor, she can be quite straightforward and direct. In her initial appearances, Hayami was shown with a much more mild personality, conversing and even smiling with other students, but gradually became more stoic. However, she secretly has a much softer side to her personality, as shown in a picture of her cheerfully holding a kitten.
