** The main character, Rito Yuuki, has been [[GenderBender turned female]] several times. The first time, he ends up the house-guest of a classmate who dislikes his regular identity, so he makes up the name "Riko" on the spot. The next time, Lala makes Rito-as-a-girl go on a date with [[LovesMyAlterEgo his friend that fell in love with "her"]], and Rito extends the name to "Riko Yuusaki". Basically everyone else who's seen Rito as a girl knows his real identity, so they've only called him "Riko" a few times [[EmbarrassingNickname to tease him]].
