Marumi Maruyama plays the protagonist in Box "R".   

Personality

She prefers to be called "Rumi," which indicates her childish attitude.

Appearance

She has a mid-length, light-colored hair with light-colored eyes. She is usually seen wearing the high school uniform in the Box "R" set.

Back ground

Marumi Maruyama was mentioned to be the up-and-coming talent. She is mentioned to be a super popular idol even before the shooting of Box "R."

Plot

At the start of filming she sometimes thought of Kyoko as scary because of her use of Mio's mannerisms while playing Natsu. Like others, she initially doubted Kyoko's acting ability, but gained respect for her when she demonstrated the Natsu she had created.

Natsu's arc

Outside the Box "R" set, Marumi Maruyama loses her hat to the wind, but an elegant female—later revealed to be Kyoko as Natsu Kitazawa—catches it and gracefully sets it back on her head without breaking stride. Marumi stares after her in befuddlement.

Marumi later confides to Chiori about Kyoko being a completely different person and declared that she was more like Natsu.

During the bullying scene, the director asked the crew not to let Marumi have access to the karaoke set, as every crew member felt that the bullying scene was unsettling and may lead Rumi to quit the role. And somehow the crew distracted Rumi long enough for the scene to be finished.

Violence Mission arc

Rumi films a scene getting soaked in a man-made pond, and since it's February, it's freezing for her. But Kazutoyo calls for a retake since the drama is scheduled to be broadcast in spring. He didn't want her to show a freezing reaction while other cast members pitied her.
