RYO
SANADA'S BIO




Sanada, Ryo (pronounced Rio) is the leader of the Yoroiden Samurai Troopers.
His family is a famous ninja clan whom he had never met before since his
father, a wildlife photographer did not agree with their customs.
Ryo
has lived in a cabin in the woods almost all of his life while his father went
on long expeditions, making sure Ryo had enough money to last him while he was
gone. Because Ryo had no ride, he had to walk at least 9 miles to school.
Ryo
is perhaps the strongest of the Troopers. He wears the Armor of Rekka, and the
Armor of Kikoutei when he dons the other four troopers' yoroi powers. Ryo
first got his yoroi when he defended his beloved forest and the animals
against some poachers.
The
poachers had caused a fire in the forest, and instead of being burnt by the
flames, Ryo absorbed the flames into himself, and the virtue Jin appeared on
his forehead, causing the flames to form the red and white subarmor of Rekka
around him. It was always thought that Ryo always had Byauken.
This
is not true. The large white tiger was actually with Kasou first. The tiger
met Ryo when he was four, and then again when he was seven, and finally at the
age of ten when Kasou began Ryo's training. It was Byauken who actually led
Kasou to Ryo, and the tiger chose to stay with the boy.
