: The orphaned son of [[Raoh]]. He was raised by [[Hakuri]] and [[Mrs. Hakuri|his wife]] after Raoh's death. At a young age, he already shows his wit and bravery and possesses his father's eyes. When the Hakuris are killed by [[Kōketsu]]'s men, [[Kenshiro]] becomes his personal mentor in order to help him avenge his adoptive parents. After Kōketsu is defeated, he accompanies Kenshiro to the kingdoms of [[Sava]] and [[Blanca]], helping Ken in his many ordeals. Having witnessed the sorrows of the likes of [[Asam]] and [[Baran]], Kenshiro leaves Ryu under the care of [[Balga]], promising to meet him again when the time comes to decide the next [[Hokuto Shin Ken]] [[Denshosha|successor]].

*In ''[[Shin Hokuto no Ken]]'', Ryu is depicted in a brief flashback montage with dialogue taken from Kenshiro's farewell note to him. Ryu is unvoiced in this anime.

*In the Famicom game ''[[Hokuto no Ken 4]]'', the adult version of Ryu (who now resembles his late father) appears as a member of the player's party. The Hero first meets Ryu in a warehouse north of Ribushōki (the hometown of the late [[Shōki]]) chasing after a group of bandits (led by the Gento Ryū Ken practitioner Furaji) who have stolen the key to the cemetery where [[Yuria]]'s grave is located. When the Hero is later defeated by the Makōtei, Ryu takes him to the [[Hokuto Renkitōza]] and challenges him for the Hokuto Shin Ken succession. In reality, he has no intention of becoming the next successor and he initiates the battle simply to teach the Hero his father's secret technique of ''[[Tensho Honretsu]]''. He then renounces the Hokuto Shin Ken style by cutting off his own tendons.

* Ryu makes an appearance in Episode 8 of the anime ''[[DD Hokuto no Ken|DD Hokuto no Ken 2 + Ichigo Aji]]'', where he is portrayed as a (self-proclaimed) boy detective who investigates [[Ryuken]]'s (apparent) murder. He is very hostile towards Raoh and [[Toki]], but has a strong admiration towards Kenshiro. He is voiced by [[Akiko Yajima]].

==Trivia==

* Despite several possible theories in both the original manga and spin-off material, Ryu's mother remains unconfirmed.
