Ryuji was born as the son of the Jingweon Mafia Boss and his wife, Suyeon Jung. That and the fact that he deeply cherishes the memory of his mother proves that family bonds are sacred to him. In the end, he expressed regret that he and his sister didn't get to spend more time with each other. Kiryu, in a rare instance, showed immense respect to an opponent by calling Ryuji "the man I thought you were" and stating that he would go all-out in response to Ryuji challenging him to a fight. This was right after he took bullets he knew was fatal. Ryuji is a proud man, evidenced by him challenging Kiryu to a fight in his final moments. He is self-aware of his flaws, notably his tendency to be impulsive (and considers that a real man sometimes has to act before they think), acknowledging that he always believed he'd die young. Ryuji proves to be selfless as he doesn't hesitate to take bullets to protect his half-sister and Kiryu. He dislikes being called the "Dragon of Kansai" as he believes there is only room for one dragon, and warns his subordinates to never use that alias. Not only does he considers him a great opponent, but Ryuji also doesn't enjoy an unfair victory as evidenced when he had the opportunity to kill Kiryu, who was exhausted and vulnerable, he stayed his blade in order to fight him one-on-one on equal ground. In terms of fighting, he prefers a head-on approach and has a sense of honor, considering Kiryu as a worthy opponent. He has very open contempt for people who resort to underhanded, manipulative tactics to seize power, like Toranosuke Sengoku and Ryo Takashima. Ryuji can be quite ruthless but, unlike many other yakuza, he adheres to a strict, personal moral code: Ryuji believes that strength is the ultimate virtue and that only those who demonstrate strength deserve to wield power. Ryuji is depicted as a goal-driven and ambitious man, especially evident when he aimed to defeat Kiryu in order to take the title of the "one true dragon" and his ambition to wage a war between Tojo Clan and Omi Alliance. Additionally, he wears a light beige coat with a strip of black fur all around the collar and down the front.įour-year-old Ryuji is shown in 1980 flashbacks to naturally have black hair, meaning that he has been dyeing his hair blonde at least since he was 12, as he has blonde hair in all of his other appearances including in Yakuza 0. He wears a beige suit (pinstriped in Yakuza Kiwami 2) over a dark brown shirt, matching suit pants, and a pair of white wingtips. He has blonde hair and a large scar on his face. Ryuji has a tall build which is apparent even during his days as a schoolboy.
