: ''Voiced by'': [[Hideyuki Hori]] (TV series), [[Daisuke Sakaguchi]] (''Shin Kyūseishu Densetsu'' movie series, as a child)
: Ryuga is the master of {{nihongo|'''[[Taizan Tenrō Ken]]'''|泰山天狼拳||"[[wikipedia:Mount Tai|Taishan]] Celestial Wolf Fist"}}, a fast and cruel style which severs flesh from the victim's body inflicting a cold sensation before they die. He is represented by the ''Tenrō-sei'' (天狼星) or solitary star of [[wikipedia:Sirius|Sirius]]; the Lone Wolf which is destined to serve Hokuto.  
: Neither embracing the Hokuto nor Nanto style, he is master of {{nihongo|'''Taizan Tenrōken'''|泰山天狼拳||"[[wikipedia:Mount Tai|Taishan]] Celestial Wolf Fist"}}. Ryūga is of the ''Tenrō-sei'' (天狼星) or solitary star of [[wikipedia:Sirius|Sirius]]; the Lone Wolf. His unique Taizan Tenrōken scoops out chunks of flesh from his enemies, letting them experience bitter cold before death. He is the older brother of Kenshiro's betrothed [[Yuria]] and the half-brother of [[Jūza]]. Having despised the chaos and turmoil that followed the post-apocalyptic world, he joined [[Raoh]] believing that his iron fist would establish stability and order back to the world. The Tenrō was a star destined to serve Hokuto. As a result, Ryūga destroyed those who opposed Raoh and set out to challenge [[Kenshirō]] in order to discover who was stronger among the two. After attacking [[Toki]] to provoke Kenshiro, Ryūga's mentality began to change. Unbeknownst at the time, Ryūga had committed seppuku as penance in case he killed his sister's beloved fiancé. However, Kenshiro proved his strength and defeated Ryūga, who died knowing it was Kenshiro who would save the world, and not Raoh.

: Having despised the chaos and turmoil that ravaged the post-apocalyptic world, he joined forces with [[Raoh]], believing his iron fist would establish peace and order back to the world. Ryuga started destroying all those who would oppose Raoh and was also curious to test the potential of [[Kenshirō]]. In order to provoke Kenshiro into battle, he committed wanton acts of violence and attacked [[Toki]], who was already dying. Kenshiro awakened his rage and defeated Ryuga, who witnessed the true power of his fist. After the fight, it was revealed that Ryuga had committed ''kagebara'' (ritual disembowelment) to atone for his sins and was also the older brother of Kenshiro's betrothed, [[Yuria]]. With his last breaths, Ryuga announced that Kenshiro would be the one to save the world, and not Raoh.
:He appears in the opening flashback in ''Yuria Den'' as a child.
