Reika Nishimura was Motoki Furuhata's girlfriend in the anime, manga, and Crystal. She was the carrier of the Blue Rainbow Crystal in the anime.
In the anime, she attended Azabu Technical College. She left Japan twice in order to study abroad, resulting in a long distance relationship between herself and Motoki. The second time, she left the country for ten years, but Motoki was still willing to wait for her.
In the manga and Crystal, Reika did not leave the country and simply attended the same university as Motoki. She also met Setsuna Meiou there and became friends with her.
She did not appear in the live-action series, as Motoki's character was revamped there and he instead pursued Makoto Kino.
