Biography
Ryuji Goda (Japanese: 郷田 龍司, Hepburn: Gōda Ryūji) was a Japanese male born in the modern age as the son of the Jingweon Mafia Boss and his wife, Suyeon Jung. In 1980, the Dojima Family carries out the Kamurocho Christmas Massacre, during which the Jingweon Boss and most of his men were murdered after a Christmas party. Suyeon and Ryuji were present when the massacre took place but they were saved by Jiro Kawara, a police detective who'd stumbled onto the scene while pursuing a suspect. Kawara helped Suyeon go into hiding in Osaka, after which she met Jin Goda, the future 5th Chairman of the Omi Alliance, by happenstance. The two befriended each other and Jin quickly fell in love with Suyeon, who agreed to live with him so that she could provide for her son, even though she did not truly love Jin. Some time later, Suyeon reunited with Kawara and fell in love with him, devastating Jin. In 1981, when Suyeon told him that she would move in with Kawara, Jin begged her to leave Ryuji with him, claiming he'd grow to love the boy like a father and wanting to still keep in touch with Suyeon by sharing custody of the boy. Though it pained Suyeon to leave her son, she agreed out of gratitude to Jin and in the hopes that his wealth could provide her son with better opportunities in life than she ever could. Unfortunately for both Jin and a young Ryuji, Suyeon was found and murdered by the Jingweon Mafia for her desertion within less than a year.
Overview
Personality and attributes
Ryuji's back tattoo is the legendary golden dragon, Huang Long, that lords over the four gods of the cardinal directions, representing Ryuji's ambition to rule over all of Japan's criminal underworld, unsatisfied with just Kansai, a single piece of said world.
Ryuji is depicted as a goal-driven and ambitious man, especially evident when he aimed to defeat Kiryu in order to take the title of the "one true dragon" and his ambition to wage a war between Tojo Clan and Omi Alliance. Ryuji can be quite ruthless but, unlike many other yakuza, he adheres to a strict, personal moral code: Ryuji believes that strength is the ultimate virtue and that only those who demonstrate strength deserve to wield power. He has very open contempt for people who resort to underhanded, manipulative tactics to seize power.
Powers and abilities
He is a powerful fighter, more than capable of going toe-to-toe with the likes of Kiryu. He also has a katana, which he is seen carrying often, and wields in his second fight. He possesses super armor in both encounters, rendering all basic attacks useless for knocking him down.
