Sawamura is defined by a brutal past that shaped him into an isolated, angry person. His childhood was marked by an alcoholic stepfather who abused both him and his mother—a situation young Ryuuhei ended by stabbing the man with a knife. His mother then placed him in state care, supposedly to find work, but never came back. It took him three years to understand she'd abandoned him. Things got worse when he was falsely accused of killing doves he'd actually been feeding, which only deepened his bitterness and sense of being alone against the world. He has exactly two people he could call connections—his old middle school teacher and Sendou Takeshi—but he doesn't treat either like friends.
As a boxer, Sawamura's naturally gifted but fights with a deliberate cruelty; he genuinely enjoys hurting opponents, which has cost him matches through disqualification. He operated as a counter-puncher and outboxer, working out of Karil boxing gym. He held the JBC Junior Lightweight Championship before stepping away from the sport entirely. His most notable bouts were against Makunouchi Ippo and Mashiba Ryou.
