Koh is naive and more child-like than the other Ryusoulgers, but is also very loyal to them. In addition, following a knight's code of conduct, he opts for the option with the least amount of innocent bloodshed, as opposed to Towa & Bamba during their first confrontation. A kind, friendly & outgoing young man, he always encourages his team to open up to each other. His valor pushes himself to fight the good fight, even when the odds are stacked against his team. As the Knight of Valor, his fighting style is combines power with ferocity, and focuses on overwhelming offense. His childlikeness also makes him an extremely honest & straightforward, and is what enables him to correctly answer DimeVolcano's quiz.
Powers and Abilities
Ryusoul Tribesman Physiology
As member of Ryusoul tribes, he possessed these following abilities:
Longevity
Ryusoul tribespeople age very slowly and can live for hundred years.
Dino Slash (ディノスラッシュ,Dino Surasshu): Ryusoul Red gathers all of Tyramigo's power in the Red Ryusoul into an extremely powerful energy slash, that takes the form of Tyramigo's head, with the Ryusoul Ken.
Burning Dino Slash (バーニングディノスラッシュ,Bāningu Dino Surasshu): Ryusoul Red unleashes an incredibly powerful slashing attack with the Ryusoul Ken, which becomes a thick, elongated flaming whip that can utterly destroy a swarm of Drunn soldiers. Another variation is that he gathers all the intense flaming energy from a manifest of DimeVolcano into a powerful flaming Slash in the shape of DimeVolcano's head.
While piloting KishiryuOh DimeVolcano, Ryusoul Red in the MeraMera Armour can make KishiryuOh unleash massive waves of intense fire from its body, as well as empower KishiryuOh DimeVolcano's finisher, Volcano Slash.
Using the Dosun Soul, Ryusoul Red can equip the Dosun Armor, enabling him to perform powerful earth-based attacks and have immensely formidable punching abilities.
Using the Max Ryusoul Changer, Ryusoul Red gains his final, ultimate upgrade, which enables him to maximise & combine the powers of RyuSouls & KyoRyuSouls.
"The cool Sentai fighting with the power within the Ryusouls is...Yes, Ryusoulger! (リュウソウルでの力で戦うクールな戦隊は…そう、リュウソウジャー！,Ryuusouru de no chikara de tatakau kūruna sentai wa...Sō, Ryuusoujā!)"

Ryusoul Red Ridewatch
Ryusoulger Ridewatch (リュウソウジャーライドウォッチ,Ryūsōjā Raidowotchi): Based on Ryusoul Red of Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger, this Ridewatch would presumably provide access to an Armor based on Ryusoul Red. It date is unknown[3], but shown on the Ziku-Driver's screen as "-SS-"
Behind the Scenes
Portrayal
Koh is portrayed by Hayate Ichinose (一ノ瀬颯,Ichinose Hayate). As Ryusoul Red, his suit actor is Shigeki Ito (伊藤茂騎,Itō Shigeki) who previously served as sub for Stinger/Sasori Orange in Uchu Sentai Kyuranger. This is his first role as a Red Ranger.
Notes
At 209 years old, Koh is the oldest main Red Ranger in Sentai history.
If the fact that Geki was born around 179-million years before 1992 is counted, Koh is the second oldest main Red Ranger.
The red trail on the top of Koh's helmet is reminiscent of the plumes some medieval helmets had.
Koh's use of the MeraMera Soul is the first time an enhancement mode isn't initiated by either the primary changer or a separate changer used for such forms.
