RonPoi is the slash ship between Keine Ron and Matsudappoiyo from the Utau fandom.
Canon[]
Matsudappoiyo was created by Matsuda Toki, who also designed and illustrated Keine Ron in collaboration with Keyl. The characters are canonically listed as best friends, although both creators have shown support to the ship in the past. Matsuda Toki has drawn a lot of ship fanart involving the characters, and even published a manga series called "けいねくんがすき。2" ("I Like Keine-kun 2"). Published in 2018, it tells the story about how Ron, who is in love with Poiyo, begins to distance himself from him after Matsudappoiyo becomes friends with a girl from their class. At the end of the comic, Matsudappoiyo realizes his feelings for his best friend, and they get together.
Even though these are technically canon, Matsuda Toki has said in a tweet that they view the manga as a "secondary creation," and that "it is not official". This allows the fans to see the UTAUs' relationship however they like.
Songs[]
Despite their established relationship as friends, it can variate depending on the song. In the song Amairo Cider, Ron and Poiyo have feelings for each other but were never able to express it clearly, leaving them hurt because of it. The song Ikusen no Ao also has a romantic meaning, and talks about how the two feel that the world is falling apart, while they remember each other. In the song Kitto Bokura wa Itsumodoori Ron and Poiyo are friends who haven't seen each other for a long time and, at the end, they realize that they like each other. Other duets with them include:
- Regret Song by Muzunashi Hatsu
- Hana to Ryuu by Aria-P
- Zero no Yubiori by Aria-P
