Profile[]
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner[]
Rei works at the Kuzunoha Detective Agency with Kyouji Kuzunoha as an assistant detective. The protagonist first meets her after being saved by Kyouji. Shortly afterwards, the protagonist possesses Kyouji's body and is forced to work alongside Rei who isn't yet aware of his true identity.
When the protagonist begins working with Rei, she goes to Mount Kasagi, hoping to make a pact with a Goddess to learn magic skills. Praying to Amaterasu will grant her powerful magic skills, praying to Gabriel will grant her various support and Force Skills, and praying to Ishtar will grant her potent healing and Psy skills.
During the face-off at Kitayama University, Sid Davis casts a spell intended for Kyouji's soul on the protagonist, which has no effect. Rei then becomes distrustful of the protagonist, realizing he's a complete stranger. Reluctantly, she continues to work with him as there's no other choice when it comes to putting a stop to Sid's schemes.
When the duo are traversing through the art museum, Dantalion places a curse on Rei turning her into a bronze statue. He snatches her away for his private collection, commenting on how beautiful she is. The protagonist fights his way to Dantalion alone to defeat him, turning Rei back to normal. After being rescued, she says she is deeply grateful for the protagonist's actions, saying Kyouji would have just left her in a situation like this. Her trust in the protagonist is regained.
Later on, Rei notices a pattern concerning the locations of the five seals, pinpointing the fifth and final seal Sid is going to target.
After the defeat of the Demiurge, Rei uses her powers to send the protagonist to the Psuedo Astral Plane to chase after Sid Davis. She is briefly unavailable as a party member as a result.
She continues to work alongside the protagonist after the events of the game, asking him at the end whether he'd like to be called Kyouji or by his actual name.
Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers[]
Rei Reiho is a member of the Kuzunohas and a sworn enemy of the Phantom Society. She first appears in the second Vision Quest involving Judah Singh. The two face off against each other in the then under-construction Amami Airport. After several rounds of fighting the battle ends, and Rei tells Judah to think about resigning from the Phantom Society before leaving.
She meets the protagonist in the Auto Plant, where she mentioned she had turned the power off in to ensure the demons won't come out. She decides to leave the problem to the protagonist and Nemissa, since they told her they came there to track down the demon Moowis and leaves. After defeating the cyborg, Rei reveals herself and says that she watched their fight. When asked why she didn't help, she stated she was only investigating the Phantom Society activities. She notices that Hitomi has two souls to residing within her, but doesn't pry into the matter.
Rei advises them to seek out Madame Ginko as she could help them in their mission. She quickly leaves after giving some words of wisdom when she senses others coming.
Much later, she appears at the Spookies HQ, when the protagonist and Nemissa receive Nishi's message through a brainwashed Yu-ichi, and explains that she had arrived too late to stop them from capturing the others. She also notices that Hitomi's soul is starting to dissipate due to Nemissa's presence. Rei stays behind to keep an eye on Yu-ichi while the two head off to save the others. In a New Game Plus on the PlayStation/3DS versions, if the correct choices were made to save Spooky, Rei and Yu-ichi later head to the Monolith where they recover him from the roof.
