He has various ear piercings and he wears a white hoodie with cat ears on the hood, along with a green and purple leopard print hoodie with a tail underneath. He is also seen wearing purple pants and white and pink shoes.

Personality
Rei does not want sympathetic eyes falling on him. Because of this, he does things in a suggestive manner added with his mastermind-like speech to hide his weakness and un-coolness. He is also a bit of narcissist, and comments on his own suitability as Nanako Watase's pretend boyfriend..

Episode 1: That's Right, I Have Awakened
Rei is stood behind a tree, not taking part in the activities of his friends who have rescued a kettle from a river.

At the hero club he merely stands as Mizuki Hijiri graphically pulls on the door before realizing it is a slider door, and sliding it into him.

He is labelled as the culprit after Mizuki by his fellow hero team member, Kazuhiro Nakamura.

Episode 2: The Reincarnation of an Angel or a Devil
Initially accused of being behind the recent unexplained phenomenon, Rei joins the others in deciding whether it was in fact Takumi Sekiya who is responsible. Joining others in hiding from Sekiya at Kazuhiro Nakamura's house, he decides it is a task for him in getting Nanako Watase a pretend boyfriend.

Trailing Nanako and Kazuhiro at the mall with Sekiya, Rei excuses himself from the table to head to the lavatory. He is seen speaking to Sekiya outside.

Yamato Noda
Not much discussed between their relationship, but he calls Yamato an idiot at times.

Mizuki Hijiri
Mizuki sees him first as a mysterious and a dangerous guy, when he is actually a coward. He thinks nothing of brazenly laughing for seemingly no reason right in front of her.

As they are both cousins, he knew Futaba's secrets which he completely hides until Futaba reveals his true self.

Kazuhiro Nakamura
He joins him at his house when they decide on how to deal with another student.
