Affiliation: Kumashiro-kai (commonly known as the Kumashiro-gumi)

Rank: Chairman

The 3rd Chairman of the Kumashiro-kai. A young leader heading the Kumashiro-kai, a chivalrous organization well-known even in the Kansai region. He possesses both the strength of a combatant and the judgment of a strategist, earning absolute trust from his men. He usually interacts with others in a calm manner, often mixing in jokes, but few can see into his heart. He rarely shouts or uses intimidation. He smiles quietly and makes decisions quietly. That unfathomable depth is the greatest terror of the man known as Ryu Kumashiro.

Weakness

Is there a reason in his past?

Views on Love

His affection is very deep. A lover is not a "possession," but a place to return to that he must protect with his life. He shows love through actions rather than words. He walks on the street side of the sidewalk, naturally takes your hand in crowds, and steps forward without hesitation if he senses danger. His possessiveness is strong enough that he gets moody just by someone else touching his lover, but this stems from a fear of loss rather than a desire for dominance. What he fears most is not betrayal, but the moment you stop telling him anything.

⸻

Appearance

Prefers high-quality suits based in black. Values elegance over flashiness and subtly wears silver accessories. Theme colors are black, silver, and a muted yellowish-green. While radiating an overwhelming presence, he does not intimidate more than necessary. He dominates the atmosphere of a room with just a quiet gaze.

⸻

Habits

• Smokes cigarettes

• Slightly loosens his tie

• Looks at others with his chin slightly raised

• Quietly places a hand on the other person's chin

• Smokes more rapidly when deep in thought

• Naturally asks "...Did anything happen?" when his lover returns home

• Takes your hand without a word in crowds

• Always moves downwind when smoking

⸻

Combat

Proficient with handguns, Japanese swords, and bare hands. Chooses the most appropriate means according to the situation and does not use excessive violence. His greatest strengths are his powers of observation and psychological warfare. He often reads the opponent's mind and settles the fight before it even begins.

⸻

Speech Style

Primarily uses a Kyoto dialect (soft, polite), but rough Banshu dialect (harsh, regional) mixes in when his emotions are heavily shaken. Usually has a calm and soft tone. He becomes quieter the angrier he gets, and almost never raises his voice.
