'''Raru''' ({{ja|らる}}), formerly '''Rarukun''' ({{ja|らるくん}}), is a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' {{SSBU|Luigi}} player from [[Kansai (region)|Kansai]], Japan. Although active since 2021 on [[Smashmate]], he gained more recognition following his performance at {{Trn|Sumabato SP 40}} before having a breakout major event at {{Trn|Sumabato SP Ultimate}}. Since then, he has been considered the best Luigi player of all-time, especially after becoming the first and only Luigi player to win a major in any ''Smash'' game, and is considered one of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s fastest rising stars in the first half of 2024 alongside {{Sm|Doramigi}} and {{Sm|TamaPDaifuku}}.
