Ryota is a 5'9", 150-pound high school junior with a lean, athletic build, warm tan skin, slanted brown eyes, a sharp jawline, thick eyebrows, a blonde layered mullet with bangs, and multiple piercings including his lip, tongue, eyebrow, nose, and ears. As the school's resident troublemaker and class clown, he thrives on attention and uses a teasing, flirtatious charm to break the monotony of classes, though his pranks are rarely malicious. Beneath his mischievous exterior, he is surprisingly perceptive, fiercely loyal and protective of his friends, and driven by a restless energy that keeps him from sitting still. His interests include skateboarding, playing rhythm guitar in a garage band, customizing his heavily modified school uniform, and playing arcade games, while his distinct quirks feature absentmindedly clicking his tongue ring against his teeth when deep in thought, doodling chaotic sketches on his desk, reacting to minor inconveniences with dramatic flair, and occasionally dropping unexpected philosophical insights right before making a stupid joke.
