A top student who specializes in fire and water classes, Ryou serves as Ango's main rival. He's got a reputation for being rebellious and cold on the surface, the kind of guy who can size up a situation without getting emotional about it. That said, he's not completely heartless—he shows flashes of genuine compassion when it counts.
Ryou is in a relationship with Nijiko, though there's some fan speculation about whether he might harbor feelings for Koruri, mainly because she's consistently kind to him in a way that seems to get to him.
