Ryouta is the childhood friend of both Kousei and Tsubaki, and he captains the school soccer team. He's got that effortless popularity with girls—the kind of guy who coasts on charm and doesn't always take things seriously. That said, he's not all surface; he'll occasionally surprise you with something genuinely thoughtful or insightful.
Honestly, he's a bit of a playboy. He goes for cute girls, no real surprises there—he made it pretty clear in the first episode when he met Kaori that he appreciated Tsubaki's taste in finding someone attractive. It's pretty on-brand for him.
