Ryo (リョウ, Ryō) was the young son of a member of Shuh's resistance movement against the Holy Emperor. Ryo offered his hospitality to Kenshirō, Bat, and Lin when they visited Shuh's hideout, giving away his own food to Shuh and the guests under the guise of having eaten his own share. When Ryo's father arrived at the hideout with a containiner of bread, Ryo was the first one to eat a loaf. However, the breads were contaminated and although Shuh managed to detect the poison on time to warn the rest of his people, it was already too late for Ryo. Kenshirō attempted to save Ryo, but the effect of the poison took hold of his body and the child died in his father's arms.
