[edit] Character Outline
Kyoko's older brother who is obsessed with boxing who often prefers to fight his opponents head on seeing any disadvantage as a chance to improve his fighting skills. He even barged into a zoo, expecting to fight a bear, but instead ended up fighting a lion insted. Every time he sees Tsuna and his friends doing something strange, he gets fired up and always wants to be a part of it, though appears to be unaware early in the series that it is Mafia-related. Due to Ryohei's enthusiasm, he often rushes into things without fully evaluating the situation, which often ends in his humiliation. He also has a short memory and forgets many important details, something his adult self solved by writing memo's. Ryohei is always hiding the truth of what he is doing from Kyoko due to an incident that happened when they were still in primary school. Some high school students who did not like Ryohei used Kyoko to lure him into a trap. In his attempt to rescue her, he suffered severe head injuries, which resulted in the scar on his left temple. Kyoko still feels responsible for this incident though she accepts that he needs to fight.
[edit] Plot Overview
[edit] Daily Life Arc
Ryohei was first introduced when Tsuna accidently pulled him to school while in dying will mode. Ryohei was instantly inspired by Tsuna's spirit and urged him to join the boxing club. Reborn has since then asked Ryohei to join the Vongola who appeared on occasion to further Reborn's scheming.
[edit] Kokuyo Arc
Ryohei was targeted by the Kokuyo gang due to his status as Nammimori school's fifth strongest. He was injured by Ken and lost five teeth resulting in him being hostiplised.
[edit] Varia Arc
During the Sky Ring Battle, After being cured by Gokudera Ryohei gave Lussuria the antidote despite being opponents. He then saved Yamamoto, Chrome and Gokudera from Mammon's illusion by destroying the whole gym with his Maximum Cannon.
[edit] Future Arc
In the future, Ryohei had gone overseas to work. He was the one who found Chrome after her battle with Glo Xinia, and brought her to the Vongola hideout. He also brought along information he retrieved from the Varia concerning their plan to attack the Millefiore Family's base. Apparently, he was sent to Italy by the future Tsuna in order to deliver a certain message to the Varia. He also gives I-Pin a doll of her master, the Storm Arcobaleno, Fon.
During the Melone base invasion the group encounter the magician's doll Ginger Bread who claimed to be responsible for Collonello's death. Despite wanting to fight Lal Mirch stops Ryohei and fights herself however the doll is revealed to be a decoy. They later find the Black spell member Nigella just as he was finished off by Baishana. Ryohei, angered at how Baishana can simply strike down a comrade, proceded to defeat Baishana's Storm Serpent, crushing its fleeing master with its defeated form. When the Melone Base was activated, Ryohei and Gokudera were separated from Yamamoto and Lal Mirch and encountered Gamma. Ryohei then tied Gokudera up in order to stop him rushing into a fight. However Ryohei was knocked unconcious during the fight, though thanks to his box weapons activation ability, Gokudera was given a fighting chance. Later Ryohei was switched to his teenage self and along with the other Guardians was given a Vongola box.
Ryohei was later taught by Gokudera how to use Box weapons. He was adamant about keeping Kyoko in the dark about the mafia but after learning that their attendance to the Choice was mandatory, was force to resign himself. After Choice Ryohei healed Shoichi who had been fatally wounded by Kikyo.
[edit] Weapons and Abilities
Ryohei is an excellent boxer who possesses greater strength than the average human. His boxing training resulted in his proficiency in hand-to-hand combat, and ability to take and give a huge amount of physical punishment. Even the Dying Will Shot, which increases a person's strength by removing the body's limiters, has no effect on him since he always lives "to the extreme." His body's potential strength is exemplified during his training with the Arcobaleno Colonnello, who told him that his naturally strong muscles and his superior cells are at its best after his body is rested, thus Ryohei only uses his left fist in order to keep his right in perfect condition.
- Maximum Cannon - After Colonnello shot him with a spiritually condensed bullet Ryohei's potential was unlocked, enabling him to unleash a blow strong enough to break boulders. The attack works by concentrating all the energy in his arms cells into one punch. He has also been shown fire the salt crystals from his sweat using this attack with enough impact to break glass (although he only used this once)
Kangaryu
- Maximum Ingram - In the future, using 's footwork he learnt from Lussuria he transfromed his Maximum Cannon into an attack which now deals multiple blows.
- Sun Scalple - Due to his flame attribute in the future Ryohei takes the position of medic as well as fighter. Using this box weapon he activates the cells in a body effectively speeding up the natural healing cycle. It has been shown to heal small wounds in seconds and even fatal injuries over time.
- Kangaryu (漢我流 lit. "My Way Of Honor") - His animal box weapons that releases a battle scared kangaroo named Kangaryu. Kangaryu can attack but Ryohei only uses it mostly for support since he relies on his own strength. Kangaryu imbues items in her pouch with Sun Dying Will Flames and the shoots them to Ryohei. The Sereno gloves produced are weaved from vegetation that heal wounds on Ryohei's fist using the suns activation and can also be used to overload other box weapons. Kangaryu can also shoot out sun boots which enable Ryohei to fly. His vongola box appears to be an improved version of Kangaryu that carries two turrets on it's back and has its own pair of sun boots.
