Ryurou (リュウロウ, Ryūrō)

Appearing in Ten no Haoh, Ryurou is master of Nanto Ryūō Ken and was once known as the "Resourceful Nanto General" (南斗の智将 Nanto no Chishō) because of his reputation as a master tactician. After the fighting broke out, he refused to join Souther's army and retreated to live an ascetic life tending windmills in Wind Village, taking the title Ryurou of the Forest (森のリュウロウ, Mori no Ryūrō).

Raoh wishes to recruit him for his conquest but Ryurou refuses, pledging his allegiance to Kenshiro in his fight to protect the innocent. He implores Raoh to put aside his ambition and join forces with Kenshiro for the greater good. Failing to reason with him, Ryurou is forced to fight but he is unable to land the finishing blow, and Raoh, in turn, defeats him. Shortly before his death, it's revealed that Ryurou was already dying from illness.

Rei Gaiden

Ryurou makes a short cameo in Rei Gaiden during the summit of the Nanto Roku Sei Ken, effectively replacing Shu, who is absent due to his conflict with Souther.
