Rin Minakata

Rin Minakata (南方 りん, Minakata Rin) is Mahiro Oyama's Heath and Physical Education teacher at Yotsuba University Affiliated Junior High School. She is voiced by Yūki Yamamoto in the anime series.

Appearance
Rin is a tall and athletic young woman with long dark hair that she keeps tied up in a ponytail. In her first appearance she was seen wearing a tracksuit. During swim class she wore a jacket over one of the school's one-piece woman's swimsuits.

Personality
Rin is an energetic and determined woman who loves athletics and works hard to get her students into shape to the best of her ability. Even though she does her best to push everyone, she is not entirely heartless. She is willing to let people sit out or leave early should an emergency arise, as shown when she let Mahiro not run laps due to supposedly having a stomachache and again when she let Mahiro exit the pool due to her supposedly getting her period.
