BIO: As leader of the Ronin Warriors, Ryo will go to any length to save his fellow Ronin Warriors from harm, including refusing to strike a finishing blow to Talpa, and charging into obvious ambushes. In his Wildfire armor, Ryo draws upon the element of fire, which is spiritually linked to him through perfect virtue. When Ryo absorbs the power of four Ronin armors, most frequently those of his fellow Ronin Warriors, he wears the white armor of Inferno, once belonging to an ancient warrior named Hariel. The power of the Inferno armor is unmatched by any known force, and it has the power to destroy entire worlds, were its power turned to evil. On one occasion, Ryo was able to use the powers of the Dark Warlords' evil armors to form the Inferno armor, and as a side effect, Ryo was able to mentally control the unconscious Warlords. Ryo is often joined by his highly intelligent, extremely large white tiger named White Blaze. When Ryo calls upon the power of Inferno, White Blaze also receives his own white armor, drawing upon the spirit of Black Blaze, the black tiger of the fallen evil warrior Lord Saberstrike. When transformed, White Blaze carries the Inferno armor's Soul Swords of Fervor.
Ryo is the unofficial leader of the Ronins. He was orphaned at a young age when his father, a wildlife photographer, was mauled by a wild animal. Memories of his father's death haunt him in the form of nightmares; hardly a night goes by when he doesn't have them. Ryo posses a definite type A personality: friendly and optimistic with an explosive temper. He is very protective of those he considers friends and would gladly lay down his life for theirs, a trait which makes him an excellent leader.
