Four-year-old Ryuji is shown in 1980 flashbacks to naturally have black hair, meaning that he has been dyeing his hair blonde at least since he was 12, as he has blonde hair in all of his other appearances including in Yakuza 0. Personality= Ryuji is depicted as a goal-driven and ambitious man, especially evident when he aims to defeat, but unlike many other yakuza, he adheres to a strict, personal moral code: Ryuji believes that strength is the ultimate virtue and that only those who demonstrate strength deserve to wield power. He has very open contempt for people who resort to underhanded, manipulative tactics to seize power. Ryuji also doesn't enjoy an unfair victory as evidenced when he had the opportunity to kill Kiryu, who was exhausted and vulnerable, he stayed his blade in order to fight him one-on-one on equal ground.

Relations= Suyeon Jung (mother)Jingweon Mafia Boss (biological father) Jin Goda (adoptive father) Kaoru Sayama (half-sister) Kazuma Kiryu Origin= Japan, Korean heritage Backstory= Ryuji was born as the son of the Jingweon Mafia Boss and his wife, Suyeon Jung. In 1980, the Dojima Family carries out the Kamurocho Christmas Massacre, during which the Jingweon Boss and most of his men were murdered after a Christmas party. Suyeon and Ryuji were present when the massacre took place but they were saved by Jiro Kawara, a police detective who'd stumbled onto the scene while pursuing a suspect. Kawara helped Suyeon go into hiding in Osaka, after which she met Jin Goda, the future 5th Chairman of the Omi Alliance, by happenstance. The two befriended each other and Jin quickly fell in love with Suyeon, who agreed to live with him so that she could provide for her son, even though she did not truly love Jin. Some time later, Suyeon reunited with Kawara and fell in love with him, devastating Jin. In 1981, when Suyeon told him that she would move in with Kawara, Jin begged her to leave Ryuji with him, claiming he'd grow to love the boy like a father and wanting to still keep in touch with Suyeon by sharing custody of the boy. Though it pained Suyeon to leave her son, she agreed out of gratitude to Jin and in the hopes that his wealth could provide her son with better opportunities in life than she ever could. Unfortunately for both Jin and a young Ryuji, Suyeon was found and murdered by the Jingweon Mafia for her desertion within less than a year. Growing up as Jin's adoptive son, Ryuji always felt neglected and alone. Despite what he'd had claimed to Suyeon, Jin hadn't grown to love Ryuji as a son and, after his mother's murder, he actually grew quite cold and distant towards him, as seeing Ryuji reminded him of the death of his beloved. As a result of this, and the ostracization he experienced from other kids who were afraid of him because he was the son of a yakuza, Ryuji grew up a very lonely child. As he got older, Ryuji came to resent his father for this neglect but, at the same time, he also admired him for his strength and power. In time, this resentment would turn into a spiteful desire within Ryuji to become even stronger and more powerful than his adoptive father, in the hopes of eclipsing him within the yakuza world. He speaks in a Kansai accent, so instead of "You're" It's "Yer" And so on
