Digivice:

Personality: Ryu seems to be a laidback kid who prefers video games over his studies and tends to head first to the arcade after school. While he's somehow friendly to his peers, he can be mischievous and tends to play pranks on anyone he sees as a buzzkill. He is also loyal to the core as he never breaks a promise to his loved ones even for any reason. It also said the same to the enemies that he made along the way as anyone who betrayed his trust and loyalty will earn his fury.

Of course, being a rebellious kid, he can get very reckless when it comes to his goals and he tends to have a one-track mind about it. And because of his laidback nature, he dislikes math and science and he often grows confused at any explanations related to both of those subjects. While he shared the same issue with studying, he tried to focus on it just to make it through his classes for his father's sake to the point he reluctantly accepted tutoring from a family friend.

He also has a soft spot for any kind of animal. The same said true to any Digimon, whether they are a Virus, a Nightmare Soldier, or just an abomination. He also believed in training them carefully, never overworking them, caring for them, and trying to support his Digimon. The same said true to his friends as he tries to support them in their lowest point in his own way and wild Digimon in need. Because of his views on Digimon, he detests anyone who forces them to overwork themselves, treat them as tools than partners, and abuses them for their own gain. That includes other Digimon who hurts others including humans for their amusement or vengeance.

But despite all his reckless and mischievous nature, Ryu is a lonely boy wishing for companionship due to his absent father. With Kuramon appearing in his life, he is more determined to approach anyone to break out of his loneliness.

Appearance: Ryu is a short pale-skinned boy with a lanky build and has scars on his knees and the back of his hand. He also possesses a small sharp canine and yellow eyes with reptilian pupils, which is a genetic condition he inherited from his mother. Both of these traits may come off as intimidating to the other kids, and Ryu describes his appearance as a "dragon kid". He mostly empathizes with it by grinning with confidence while showing his sharp canine tooth.

He mostly wears a blue graphic hoodie shirt over a green short-sleeved jacket, a single black fingerless glove on his left, leather black belt bracelets, blue shorts long enough that hid the scars on his knees, and black and blue sneakers during his trips in the Digital World. But in other cases, he often wears all kinds of hoodies, pants, or shorts along with his sneakers. Ryu often carries green and black backpack along with him during school and his trips in the Digital World with two circular rings under the side pockets where he stores his D-Ark by either clipping on one of them or inside one of the latter.

Personal History: Ryu was just like any other kid living in Minato, born to normal Japanese parents as an only child who was a salaryman and a car mechanic in an apartment building. As a 6-years-old kid, he often clung to his parents a lot and was often called a crybaby due to how uncomfortable he was in elementary school without his parents around. Despite this, he has been introduced to video games thanks to his father as his 6th birthday gift, introducing him to some gaming staples along with toy guns that he cherished to this day.

However, things changed when he turned 9 when his parents divorced on amicable terms. Because of this, he not only moved to Shibuya, but his father grew more focused on his work to make ends meet for him and his son, causing him to go home less often. This resulted in Ryu's loneliness throughout the rest of his elementary school life 3 years and growing resentment against his father. But not wanting his teachers and students to worry him, he mostly hid his true feelings by becoming the class clown prankster and spent most of his free time playing video games and learning coding alone in his apartment and dart guns in an abandoned building or alley nearby.

One day while playing alone at his usual spot in an abandoned warehouse, he found not only a strange large egg that he managed to save near a broken computer near the security office but also a strange green device under it...
