Raru (らる), formerly Rarukun (らるくん), is a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Luigi player from Kansai, Japan. He has been a known Luigi player since 2021, and was ranked 3rd on the 19th smashmate SP season and had a highest rating of 2,604. Offline, he began gaining more recognition globally in mid-2023, placing highly at superregionals including 2nd at Sumabato SP 40, before having a proper breakout event at Sumabato SP Ultimate, where he placed 4th. He would continue his success by frequently placing at or near top 8 at every major/supermajor he attended. Since then, he has solidified himself as the best Luigi player of all-time, and became one of Ultimate’s two biggest rising stars for the first half of 2024 alongside TamaPDaifuku. Raru is the only Luigi player to win a major in any Smash game, doing so at both Sumabato SP 47 and Sumabato SP 50, as well as the highest ranking Luigi player in Ultimate history, getting ranked 11th on the LumiRank 2024.1.
