| One of the few surviving military personnel aboard the White Base, the hulking but genial Ryu serves as a liason between the overly reserved Bright and the unruly civilian pilots. When he's not risking life and limb by entering combat in a puny Core Fighter, Ryu can be seen co-piloting the Guntank with Hayato Kobayashi. After going out in a blaze of glory, saving Amuro from certain death at the hands of Crowley Hamon, Ryu is rewarded with a posthumous three-rank promotion. |
