"A patriotic Hip Rock Samurai wandering all over the world while mastering his sword and sayings.
He's popular as a collector of the calligraphy that he writes around the city. The sound speaks now. The sound speaks now.
He had a samurai soul before it was even cool. Yeah.
"
―Character Intro

Roku (?) is one of the characters from pop'n music 6.

Profile

This grounded man is described as a skilled Hip Rock Samurai with his own jeopardy in Japan. Roku writes down what he sees, hears, or the places he's been in kanji.

Roku does becomes rude in some instances, according to a few 4-koma adaptation stories.

In pop'n music ラピストリア, Roku wields a cerulean diamond-shaped lapis.

Character Information

He takes a trip inside Japan, seeming to have come to the country cold on the way.
He places the umbrella that he picked up in a journey and drinks liquor while watching snow. COOL!

His middle of a journey is cerise.
He is tempted into the fragrance of the flower and drinks liquor while watching a flower. COOL!

He regards a trip as the life.
The sign that he advanced to becomes the way.

What you see on the night of the journey of Sengoku. Full moonlit night, COOL!

Hip Rock samurai of patriotism over the Japanese island. The world's fence-hitch-grudge-wrath, and kill kill kill!

The samurai stands for his brush for arm and mouth.

He did hang out with the countries that experience Japan Island and Lapistoria.

The world is wide and heavy! And I think I have to enjoy your own pace.

Appearance

Hip Rock

Roku 6 1P IconRoku 6 1P Banner

Roku appears with cerulean-colored hair that was formed into sharp and double-splitting sections. He wears a white robe with black sections, red headphones around his neck, black circle centered in his robe, and sandals. He wields a katana and a paintbrush tipped with black paint. He then has black piercings to his earlobe and the upper ears. When taking his robe off, Roku is seen having a panda tattoo on his whole back, as of his WIN animation.

Roku 6 2P IconRoku 6 2P Banner

In his 2P color palette, Roku's skin tone changes to brown, and his eyes are colored dark green. Roku's hair color is fuchsia instead of cerulean, and his entire attire is colored turquoise. His headphones have a violet hue, also his sandals; Roku's obi remains identical.

His mysterious 3P color palette presents that Roku's skin tone changes to an apricot color, and his eyes are colored deep plum. Roku's hair shifted to red instead of either cerulean or fuchsia. His entire robe is colored into a dark olive drab color and the round highlight is colored dark turquoise. His other highlights are colored forest green, and his sandals and headphones are colored violet. This palette is temporarily confirmed in Hip Rock 3.5 from pop'n music 18 せんごく列伝.

Hip Rock 2

Roku 9 1P IconRoku 9 1P Banner

Roku excels by wearing a black robe with black and red sections, and his headphones and sandals remain its colors. He accessorized himself with his red parasol and his hair was a little wax out.

Roku 9 2P IconRoku 9 2P Banner

Roku's 2P color palette drastically altered his hues. The skin tone again changes to brown, but his eyes are light green and his hair is cream yellow. His robe is entirely white and was shaded light blue on the bottom. Roku's head set is colored platinum and blue; also, the parasol, black-blue obi, sandals, and katana share the blue color with the headset.

Roku 9 URA Icon

In his URA color palette in Pop'n 11, Roku's skin tone reverts to an original color. His eyes are altered as simple black, while his hair is plain white. Roku's attire is entirely colored dark blue to white, and the parasol, sandals, birthmark, and headset share gray hues. His katana is also colored dark blue.

Hip Rock 3

Roku 12 1P IconRoku 12 1P Banner

Roku's robe is much identical as Hip Rock, but consist of additional details. Roku accessorized himself with a purple and white spider-web-inspired kimono; however, his headphones, sword, and sandals changed to purple. His hair does not wax out, but raised crooked, after the wax was replaced.

Roku 12 2P IconRoku 12 2P Banner

His 2P palette keeps on shading Roku's skin into brown, while his eyes, katana, and birthmark are colored simply yellow. His entire vestments are colored in light pink hues, and his sandals and hair share a platinum color. The beaded necklace remains it black color.

Hip Rock 4

Roku 15 1P IconRoku 15 1P Banner

His robe was red and the sections were dark red. He dons a teal scarf that reaches his thighs, a white leg bracelet, black laces on his weight, and red sandals. His sword was red and his headphones remained the same as Hip Rock. His cerulean hair was cleansing into straight parts. This design is also recycled for 狼弦暴威 from pop'n music UniLab.

Roku 15 2P IconRoku 15 2P Banner

Roku's 2P color palette tinted his hair and robe white, and his scarf is colored sky blue. His eye color and headphones are identical to his previous appearance. This is temporarily confirmed in 曇天 from pop'n music 18 せんごく列伝.

Hip Rock 5

Roku 18 1P IconRoku 18 1P Banner

Roku was evolved into Sengoku Retsuden as his robe turned yellow and black. He has purple sections, and purple sandals from Hip Rock 3. Part of his sword turned yellow and earrings were back in place to his ears. His hair was partly waxed out and one of the parts of the hair remained crooked. His original palette for that design appears again in from pop'n music 解明リドルズ.

Roku's appearance in Pop'n Music Lapistoria is very analogous as his debut appearance, albeit that he has red makeup under his eyes, and two, white, vertical highlights on the right side of his hair.

Trivia

General

  • Roku's birthdate is identical to Castle's.
  • Roku shares the cerulean diamond lapis with TAKUTO, YUZURU, and Wolfgang.
  • Roku's 2P palette from pop'n 6 was not used frequently; his icon from the same pop'n 6 palette is the hardest to find in the Rankings Lists in a few official game sites.
  • Compared to his final render for pop'n music ラピストリア, his JAEPO 2014 portrait has Roku's eyes velvet without the central glimmers, if you zoom closely.
  • Not counting his URA appearance and his side appearance with MZD in pop'n music 16 PARTY♪, he used to have a streak of presenting himself and his songs for every three games. That streak has been destroyed when he made an appearance in pop'n music ラピストリア.
  • He is one of the rarer characters to have hidden design changes in animation.
    • Compared to his original palette in pop'n music 6, his 2P has a rabbit tattoo with Des-ROW's name written as "Desu Rou" (ですーろう?). His alternate palette for 一激必翔 has a skull with "samurai" written in katakana, eponymous to his insert song.

Cameos

  • Roku's WIN animation from his debut makes a cameo in the beginning of Amamo's video for 大見解 in GUITAR FREAKS 9thMIX and Drummania 8thMIX.
  • Roku also makes animation cameos in Pop'n Xmas's animation once, and Shinobianko's FEVER! animation.
