[edit] History
[edit] Samurai Shodown III
Rimururu is a guardian of nature and the living beings of the earth like her sister, Nakoruru. Although still training her skills, she repels evil from the forest during her elder sister's absence.
[edit] Samurai Shodown IV
After her sister departs again, Rimururu follows to Shimabara to protect Nature and offer her assistance.
[edit] Samurai Shodown V
Rimururu and Nakoruru are playing in the forest when Konru runs off and she chases after it. Her grandma then calls out to her to have some soup with Nakoruru. Going back, Rimururu realizes Nakoruru ran off somewhere. She then resolves to go out and find her sister.
Upon reaching Hinowa, Rimururu tells Gaoh she just wants to find her sister and that anything else he has to say is not important. Gaoh then tells her he has to kill her.
After defeating Gaoh, Rimururu calls out to Nakoruru but starts to cry when she doesn't come. Rimururu then remembers the time Nakoruru found her in the forest, crying. Nakoruru asks her what is wrong and Rimururu replies that her sister is gone. Nakoruru then adopts Rimururu as her sister and tells her not to cry anymore. Rimururu then stops crying when Nakoruru appears and tell her she has become an Ainu fighter. Rimururu then tells her she wants to become one as well, like her sister. Nakoruru forbids it and says they should go home.

Years later, when Nakoruru became a spirit of nature, Rimururu thought she was dead and succeeded her role as the maiden of Kamuikotan; protecting nature in her stead. However, in Warriors Rage, because she possess the light maiden powers, she and her ice spirit Konril were sealed by the villain Oboro. She was released after Haohmaru defeated him.
