Biography
Ryunosuke Umemiya (Japanese: 梅宮 竜之介, Hepburn: Umemiya Ryūnosuke)
He confronted Yoh and Amidamaru, and orders Amidamaru to integrate with his master so they can fight. He tricks Amidamaru into attacking Harusame and fights back with a technique called Tokage Kenpo (Lizard Style). Tokagero mocks Amidamaru saying that the same blade that was supposed to save him will take his life instead this time. After remembering how much Harusame was important, Amidamaru breaks Harusame and Tokagero is surprised. Yoh says that Tokagero had already lost, because of Amidamaru's long life commitment to his friend Mosuke. He tells him that he should rest in peace and move on. Tokagero refuses and says he'll die and Amidamaru with him. Ryu's gang then attacked him, and say that they don't want Ryu to become a scumbag, and they would always be friends with Ryu no matter what happens.
After Manta wanted to see Yoh, he forgot his money and eventually bumped into Ryu, who in turn drove to Izumo. There they met with Tamamura Tamao who at first saw them as enemies, because of a misread prophecy. Staying in Izumo he convinces Yoh's grandfather, Asakura Yohmei to train him so that he can become a shaman and enter the Shaman Fight. It is unknown Ryu's time in the first round or how he received his Oracle Bell, but he did win two matches and went to the opening ceremony. Later on, he ended up at a Shinto shrine after his two fights. When BōZ attacked, he complained that they woke him up and easily defeated them and later he revealed he was a shaman. When Tao Ren was captured, Ryu went to China to help out freeing Ren him. He entered the Tao Family household and was immediately taken down by Tao En's Gohukuseitai. Horohoro took them to safety and defeated one. Ryu stood back up and defeated another. When Yoh left to find Ren, Horohoro and Ryu stayed behind to finish off the last three bodyguards. They managed to defeat two of the three bodyguards, but Ichi-Johtoh proved to be too much for them. Before they could be killed, Lee Pyron arrived and defeated the Jiang Shi of his former master. When En finally showed up, every one of them attacked at once but nothing worked. Ren, however, realized that the big bulking person in front of them was merely an Over Soul, and En revealed his real appearance and told his story. After putting all his strength into one final attack he lost to his son. After a meal and a chat with the rest of the Tao Family, Ryu and the others went back to Japan.
Overview
Personality and attributes
He usually wears exaggerated 1970s fashion: white suits and dark shirts with oversized collars, cuffs and lapels, plus pointy shoes. His battle outfit consists of a vest-styled shirt that exposes his stomach and pants that occasionally puff out above the ankles. His crowning glory is a foot-long pompadour, which keeps getting lopped off by Yoh Asakura and others. Ryu's nickname comes from the fact he carries a wooden sword, or bokutō. He came to be known by the name of Wooden Sword Ryu (木刀の 竜 Bokutō no Ryū) due to his use of a wooden sword.
Powers and abilities
Ryu initially met Tokageroh in the lady's restroom of an abandoned bowling alley. There, Tokageroh possessed him and used his body to try and get his revenge on Amidamaru, but Tokageroh eventually left on his own after a short fight with Asakura Yoh. While waiting to be trained by Asakura Yohmei, the two met again. Without a purpose in life, Tokageroh decided to become Ryu's Guardian Ghost. After the training by Yohmei, Ryu would gain the power to use an Over Soul, also learning a technique called Yamata no Orochi, that he would later learn to harness, thanks to the training from Anna. Before the second round of the Shaman Fights, he would then create a giant Over Soul called "Yamata no Orochi Go", and later an Armor Over Soul called 'O.S. "Sashimi Bōchō Susanorō". Ryu also creates a "Big Thumb" Over Soul, somehow randomly calling a trucker named Billy Anderson to give the group a ride in America.
Ryu is always seen carrying a wooden sword with him. After becoming a shaman, he uses this as his primary weapon while fighting alongside Tokagero. He gains the power to use Oversoul with training from Yohmei and Mikihisa, also learning a power called Yamata no Orochi.
