Souji Rippukan

"The Slashing Brave, Kyoryu Green!"

Souji Rippukan (立風館 ソウジ) is Kyoryu Green (キョウリュウグリーン) of the Kyoryugers.

Biography
A 16-year-old High School student. A cool-headed swordsman with swift attacks, he declares himself the “Slashing Hero” (斬撃の勇者). He is descended from the Rippukan Family, a clan who has been practicing the assassination sword style "Peerless Sword" (無双剣) since the Sengoku Period.

As a form of defiance to his father, Souji defeated the Zyudenryu Zakutor in a bamboo thicket to become Kyoryu Green and soon developed a more feral fighting style, adopting a backhand grip which later became his personal sword style, "Slashing Peerless Sword" (斬撃無双剣). Though distant at first, Souji eventually joins the team when Daigo resolves things between him and his father.

His mother, on the other hand, tries to complicate things by taking Souji away from the team, but finally changes her mind after hearing a few words from Torin (in human form). .
