    Overview

    Ruka Urushibara is a close friend of Mayuri Shiina and Rintarō Okabe, and an associate of the Future Gadget Lab in Steins;Gate. Alongside being in love with Okabe, Ruka also considers him a mentor, due to Okabe frequently pretending to be possessed so Ruka can exorcise him. As well, Mayuri frequently tries to make Ruka wear cosplay costumes she has created.

    Ruka's gender remains a point of debate, with official material considering Ruka a cross-dresser whose interest in being a woman stems from their interest in Okabe, while some fans interpret Ruka as a transgender woman, due to Ruka's statements that they believe they were meant to be born female, alongside a wish that they had been. Along these lines, during the events of Steins;Gate, Ruka uses Okabe's time-altering cellphone to create an alternate timeline wherein they were born female, although this is later reversed when the Future Gadget Lab is forced to return to their original timeline.

    Trivia

    • Ruka's voice actress is Yū Kobayashi.
    • There is some slight disagreement about the transliteration of Ruka's name, as most official game releases (such as the 2015 PS3/Vita releases) spell it "Luka", but Funimation's official translations of the series' anime adaptations spell it name "Ruka".
