Huh, so you're gonna be my producer? Well, I guess that's not so bad... I'm Shibuya Rin. Look after me from today on.

I'm always serious.
THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls Anime Idol Profile
I’m Shibuya Rin, 15 years old. I’m looking forward to working with you.
With her sleek black hair and her imposing school uniform, Shibuya Rin is a cool and trendy schoolgirl. She lives in a flower shop, where she’ll occasionally help her parents over the counter. Though her aloof demeanor makes her seem like the type of person that’s hard to approach, Rin shows a more honest side once she’s more trusting of others.
Character Description
Rin is a cool-headed, hard-working young woman who serves as the first choice for players who choose to begin the game with the Cool category. She is notable for being the very first of the idols introduced in the game to receive an S Rare card after she proved popular among players, and also the first to be announced to be getting a CD debut. Her rise in popularity and her being the first one to go from a tutorial idol to getting a CD debut has earned quite a bit of popularity, becoming sort of the poster girl for the Cinderella Girls.
Rin tends to be the “straight man” in-joke sequences and is sometimes overly serious to a comedic point. While she tends to be cool and harsh, she does have a sweet side that she occasionally shows others. She is self-conscious that her default expression comes off as unfriendly. Her cool, level-headed demeanor is put to the test when she's stuck in the same room as Ranko Kanzaki, Kaede Takagaki, and Riina Tada. On the Cinderella Radio show where her co-hosts, Uzuki Shimamura and Mika Jougasaki tend to steer the discussion to bizarre places if left unchecked. She does, however, make an exception for Nao's interview. She is also the sole survivor of Kaede’s crazy alcohol drink mix. She has a Yorkie dog, Hanako, who she jokingly consults for advice from time to time. She is part of two separate three-girl circles: the New Generation trio with Mio Honda and Uzuki, who are fellow idols she debuted with together, and the Triad Primus unit with Nao Kamiya and Karen Hojo, who she was friends with in school before her idol debut. Her parents own a flower shop.
Game Discography
THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls
Rin is an idol in the Cool category. Her basic card is normal. Rin is one of the characters used in marketing the Cinderella Girls franchise and was the only character to have a voice actress prior to the CINDERELLA MASTER CD series. Although Rin's normal card has low basic stats, she was the first extra idol to get an extra S Rare card, and that card is extremely powerful. Since she goes from an unremarkable character to a star so quickly, she can be thought of as embodying the true spirit of the Cinderella Girls project. She has received three set of Rare cards, seven sets of S Rares, and two special S Rare+ cards only available in Lawson stores and buying the Cool Summer Vacation Drama CD. Her S Rare titles are "New Generation", "CD Debut", "Pure Valentine", "Iolite Gothic", "Banquet Diva", "Wonderful Magic", "Cinderella Girl", "Cool Summer Vacation", "Anniversary Princess", "Dream Story", "Trust Present", "G4U!", and "Blue Wind". She has four SSRs exclusive to Starlight Stage, titled "Over Myself", "Eternal Bloom", "Triad Primus" and "Astral Sky".
