Appearance

Ryuuchi is a lean, hollow-cheeked young man with pale skin, long blond hair, and slitted eyes. A stylized mark that resembles a lightning bolt or a strand of barbed wire runs sideways across his left eye. He dresses in a brown jacket of mixed tones over a black undershirt and white trousers, finishing the look with a chain necklace bearing a triangular pendant and a single loop earring in his left ear.

Personality

Much of Ryuuchi's temperament is left unexplored, yet his actions point to deep loyalty. He holds Kaya Irimi in lasting regard and nurses an ambition to see the Black Dobers rise again under his lead, quietly gathering old comrades so their former boss could return to violence whenever she chooses.

History

Ryuuchi once ranked among the leadership of the Black Dobers. Through the gang's feud with the Devil Ape, Enji Koma, he served as Kaya Irimi's trusted second. When Kaya chose to align herself with Yoshimura, make peace with Koma, and take up work at Anteiku, the roughly nineteen-year-old Ryuuchi broke away and took his followers with him. He never lost his respect for her and holds onto the hope of one day leading the Dobers once more.

Later flagged as a suspect during the pursuit of Jail, he appears to have answered Kaya's call when she pulled the gang back together for the Owl Suppression Operation. As a ghoul he fights with an ukaku kagune backed by the heightened physical strength his kind possesses.
