Women are life! This is Ryuu's catchphrase, and spending even five minutes with him is enough to see that that's hardly an exaggeration. Being an extreme romantic, he's a man who truly believes that men and women are meant to enjoy each other's company as often as possible. There's no type that he really prefers over another, and there's no type that he dislikes. Each and every girl is unique, and he wants to be able to appreciate each one for their talents. He's insanely popular with girls (or at least he claims to be), constantly on his smartphone chatting with them and setting up dates. Apparently, he's often double or triple-booked. Because of this, however, there's rumors about him that he's a playboy who toys with the hearts of women. But for what it's worth, his intentions are pure. He's upfront about his nature, and he would never lie to a girl to put himself in a favorable position. In contrast, because he has so much respect for women, it's easy for him to find something to compliment them on. It may still be seen as flattery, but in his eyes, it's only pointing out what he sees as truth. He does have a tendency to fall into cliches; he's a huge fan of the romance genre, after all, so perhaps it's difficult not to imitate what he admires. Because of this, though, he believes things like women are weak and need to be protected, and it's a man's job to do that. In a sense, his romantic ideals are a little old-fashioned. He hates it when girls cry, but he'll still do what he can to make them smile again
Ryuu's pretty positive thinking in general, and he seems to have an incredibly high opinion of himself. While he doesn't take kindly to being called narcissistic, he's also not averse to praising himself. Again, this self-image is derived simply from what is a fact to him. He's comfortable with who he is and what he likes, and he'll defend both with confidence should they be questioned. There are times where he can get annoyed with insults thrown his way, and he can get competitive if he feels that he's being challenged. After making a harmless throwaway comment about how the girls would be so upset if he didn't win the monthly Pretty Boy Contest at his school, a fellow classmate (and somewhat rival?) pointed out that he's yet to take first place at all. So, Ryuu made it the entire club's mission to make sure that he at least placed higher than him. Furthermore, after the team first received their powers, he was quick to jump into action on the grounds that he wanted to look cool, too. In other words, he's very secure with himself, but he is also extensively concerned about keeping up his image. Thanks to this, he's rather easy to provoke, and he often ends up in troubling situations during battles because he acts without thinking, caring only for the end result.
It's hard to fault him despite his flamboyant personality that can be overbearing at times as it's clearly so genuine. He can be what some people call stupidly straightforward. This part of his nature is what allows him to throw out embarrassing lines without a hint of shame. It also goes along with his acting before thinking as he's prone to voicing his thoughts aloud without considering the effect of his words during a delicate situation. While his intentions are usually harmless, he can be careless in how he comes across since he doesn't alter his friendly tone no matter who he's talking to, or if the situation might deem it unsuitable.
At times, he can behave rather childishly, holding grudges against his so-called rival and tuning out information that he doesn't want to hear. He's able to put a positive spin on most negative feedback that he gets, even if it's a joking sort of comment. When it comes down to it, perhaps he is a master of deflection. Though he doesn't like the idea of being considered childish, he's fine with not being completely mature yet, too. He describes himself as "cute," and he's determined to experience his youthfulness to its full potential. Because of this, he's relatively agreeable towards just about anything, and if he's having any doubts, he's pretty easy to convince. A simple mention that a venture could increase his possibility is likely all that's needed, if he doesn't already come up with the suggestion himself.
Ryuu is rather easygoing despite the supposed busy schedule he keeps. Though their club activities involve doing absolutely nothing of importance unless there's a love alert, he's content to hang out just to spend time with his friends. However, much like his element is fire, he can also get rather passionate. Drawing motivation from seemingly nothing, he can find any reason to justify his suddenly intense feelings. Of course, the two subjects with which he's always passionate are love and friendship. When his best friend, Io, accepted an offer to join the student council and thereby decided to quit the Earth Defense Club, Ryuu reprimanded him for it immediately, taking it as a personal betrayal. The other members didn't seem nearly as distressed over the idea as he did, or perhaps it's simply that he was so quick to react that none of them even had the chance to do the same. At any rate, if there's anything as important to Ryuu as girls, it's his friends. He sees them as incomparable important factors in his life, and he'll do anything to help them out when they're in trouble.
