Sanada, Ryo (pronounced Ree-o) 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.
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.
