Anime Info
Introduced: First Stage, Act 1
Seiyuu: Koyasu Takehito
General
Ryosuke is the #1 driver of the Red Suns and is also one of the most famous street racers. He has been offered many jobs to become a professional racer, all of which he has rejected. He is not only popular with other racers but the ladies too. At battles, he has a huge crowd of fangirls waiting for him. Ryosuke uses his brain when racing, and his analytical skill is amazing. From looking at a car, he can know every detail and aspect of it.
Personality
Ryosuke is like Keisuke in many ways. He hardly attends any battles, feeling that the opponent is not worthy enough to race him. Instead, he sends his younger brother to race them. After Takumi's race with Keisuke, he finally became excited again in finding a "worthy" opponent. He is usually calm, collected, and willing to admit defeat, but at the same time, very competitive.
Friends and Family
Ryosuke's parents are rich doctors. He also has a younger brother, Keisuke, who is his closest friend and who he sends to race in his place. His other friends include the members of his team, the RedSuns.
Racing
Car: RX-7 [FC3S]Team: Akagi RedSuns (#1 driver), Project D (coach only)
Ryosuke's car is a older version of Keisuke's FD, a white Mazda Savanna FC3S. He thinks through and studies each battle beforehand. Takeshi says that Ryosuke has a strong aura around him because he is able to control his car like his hands and feet, although Ryosuke admits that he cannot do it as well as Takumi. He is also the #1 driver in the Akagi RedSuns and later creates Project D but does not race for the team.
