Ryo of the Heavenly Fire Star ("天火星"
History[]
Dairanger[]
Ryo was 23 years old when he became a Dairanger. In his daily life, he was an apprentice-cook at a Chinese restaurant in Yokohama's Chinatown. His dream was to be the number-one Gyoza cook in all of Japan. He was a direct descendant of the Dai Tribe. Ryo had an eight-year-old sister, Yoko, who was born around the same time their father supposedly died.
Ryo was taking out the garbage when a Baron String captured his friend Yumi, and he gave chase. It was then he encountered a RyuseiOh, and was recruited to become the next RyuRanger. While confused at first, he quickly took on the responsibility and went with the other three Rangers to recruit Rin, which in the process led to the Dairangers working together for the first time to defeat Baron String. 
TV STORY-Ep. 1: Let's Tenshin!!!
Until episodes 7 and 8, he finally found out his father wasn't really dead but Chouryou, who was the original RyuRanger and betrayed his people to become the servant of Gorma High Priest Saw. Chouryou captured Rin, Kazu and Daigo along with the High Priest Saw, leaving only a frightened Shoji to relay the message to Kaku. Kaku locked Ryo in a closet and had Shoji guard Ryo. Ryo tricked Shoji into opening the door and went after Chouryou. He was captured by him and almost killed, until Kaku revealed that Ryo was his son. Ryo couldn't understand how this traitor slaughtered his own team members and was his supposedly dead father. Although Ryo implored to know how the man who loved his mother could possibly be the same person, Chouryou made no attempt to explain himself and left him a photo of the loving family. Chouryou attempted to kill High Priest Saw but was killed himself.
In Episode 15 Yoko was kidnapped and Ryo had to face the Three Gorma Stooges on his own, Until his friends caught up with him. TV STORY-Ep. 15: The 3 Stooges' Soccer In Episode 21 and 22, he was the kidnap victim, and very nearly ended up dead as a Gorma sacrifice. TV STORY-Ep. 21: The Birth of a Mythical Ch'i Beast TV STORY-Ep. 22: The Great Secret Art of the Tiger Cub!! And then in episode 26, he met someone who was Jin, a gentleman assassin who had a penchant to kill martial art masters. He was a mix between everything Ryo wanted to be, and everything that he feared. But Master Kaku warned Ryo to stay away from Jin, who had no access to Ki-power, because he believed Ryo would be defeated if he challenged such a master.
Even with this warning, Ryo came fixated on Jin. In another duel in Ryo called out his Ki power in frustration of defeat and blasted Jin. This enraged Jin, and he beat Ryo into the ground, leaving him bleeding in the grass. But Ryo needed to learn the skills Jin had developed, to save his friends who had been captured by a deadly Gorma. He also felt as he needed to prove himself capable of defeating this man who used those extraordinary talents to murder. And so after forcing himself to a speed and strength he never before had, he faced Jin a third time. Jin warned Ryo that he would kill him this time, even though he felt pity and considerable respect for him. Ryo was wearing springs, and now he broke them off. And with the springs gone, he was brindingly fast.
With the battle won, Ryo took off to fight the Gorma monster and save his friends. Jin, on the other hand, washed off on the beach and Zydos, who witnessed the battle, gave him power to become the Demon Boxer. Jin's punch injected a special kind of curse-poison and was injected into Ryo. He nearly killed Ryo but Ryo defeated his fears, and the two men confronted each other again. Zydos who was watching the fight, told the Cannon-Gorma to kill the winner of the battle. And though the battle was not quite over, it looked like that would be Ryo and the Cannon fired. But Jin heard the shot coming and leaped between to protect his enemy. The shot took him down, and Ryo was stunned. Jin had only saved Ryo because he wanted to defeat him in fair combat. Jin wanted to be the only one to do in him.
Ryo later found Jin unconscious and took care of him. Ryo had begun to realize what Jin should have been, and thought something must have happened to warp him into what he had become. And he was determined to unwarp Jin. At night while Jin slept, he transformed into a blood-drinking monster Garouki which went out and killed people. One morning, Jin awoke to find some strange growth on his right arm. Ryo took Jin out into the daylight in a wheelchair and Jin asked him why he was being so kind.
Ryo fumbled with the explanation, but could only come out with the truth. That he could not bear to see him die that way. Jin was an extraordinary warrior, with honor and courage enough to break a heart. And that at last Jin understood. Jin made Ryo promise, if he became a monster, to please be the one who defeated him. Ryo was frightened and confused, but Jin told him where to strike, and made him promise. For shortly after that Jin did become the monster Garouki, under Zydos' control.
It broke Ryo's heart to fight him, knowing Jin was not responsible for what was happening and would never have chosen it. Ryo reluctantly struck at that weak point, and broke Jin free from Zydos' control. They fought side by side until Zydos regained control and turned Jin back into the Garouki, but the Dairangers used their cannon to break the power again, leaving only Jin. And Jin, though bleeding and weakened by the battle, challenged Ryo. While the others watched, the two men squared off a final time who perhaps weren't fighting wholeheartedly. Still, it was Ryo who broke through Jin's guard to punch him, but stopped a short distance from Jin's face.
Jin knew because Ryo particularly would never be able to strike the final blow, that there was no way the pair of them could ever test each other fully. Ryo tried desperately to do something in return for all that Jin had inadvertently given him. He did everything in his power to save the other man's soul. Ryo would rather he had stayed, but Jin could not and left. Jin's spirit later appeared to Ryo to beat sense into him to defeat the Gorma.
Ryo deeply trusts his teammates. Ryo specializes in Red Dragon Fist. His other attacks are the 'Inazuma Enjo Ha' which is in some sources translates to Lightning Blaze Destruction and in some others, Heaven Fire Star Lightning Flames Destruction. This is a straight fire attack. 'Ryusei Senko' is translated in some sources as Meteor Flash and in others as Shooting Star Lightning Flash.
Imitations[]
Copy Dairanger.
Multiple copies of RyuRanger were created by Copy Empress using photos she took of the Dairangers. The first was a human clone created during a day at the pool; while a second was created alongside the first in order to double-team the respective Dairanger. A third was created in a team meant to face KirinRanger before he destroys all the clones with his Rod Arrow. TV STORY-Ep. 25: Droves of Evil Sentai

Legend War[]
Ryo fighting in the Legend War.
Years later, Ryo fought alongside not only his own team, but every single Sentai Ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacked the Earth in the Great Legend War. He was seen behind Satoru Akashi and was seen with Jan Kandou as the fighting dragged on. After fighting against hundreds of Gormin and their Sugormin commanders, Akarenger noticed the fleet moving towards them. He gathered all the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada. The RyuRanger powers are later used by Captain Marvelous via the Ranger Keys. TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Space Pirates Appear MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
After the Great Legend War, Ryo has encountered the Gokaigers twice while maintaining his job working for a Chinese restaurant.
199 Hero Great Battle[]
Ryo as seen in Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle.
In Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle, Ryo encounters two fellow Sentai alumni Daigorou Oume and Koume "Umeko" Kodou as they encourage a salesman to not give up on life. Right when the Black Cross King returned, Ryo clenched his fist. Ryo later assisted the Gokaigers and gives them the Dairangers' Greater Power.
Iiiit's a Hero!![]
Later, he became a mentor to Gai Ikari after Gai lost his Gokai Cellular to an Action Commander. At the restaurant, he tried to cheer Gai up with a serving of his specialty gyoza, but Gai told him he can no longer consider himself a hero without his Gokai Cellular.
Ryo in Gokaiger
Later on, Ryo saw Gai at a nearby bazaar, where he told Gai that throughout his frustrations, he has forgotten the most important thing about being a hero. But before he continued the conversation, Zakyura and his troops invade the bazaar. Gai and Ryo intervene, with Ryo telling Gai that despite losing his powers, he has never lost sight of being a hero. Ryo did his Dairanger roll call once more. As he did so, Gai then remembered that he became a hero to protect people, not to just don a shiny suit and does his Gokai Silver roll call as well.
The duo manage to dispatch most of the Gormin Sailors, but are no match for the three Sugormin officers and Zakyura. The five Gokaigers arrive at the scene, changing into the Gekirangers and using the Geki Infusion attack to force Zakyura to cough out everything he had consumed by hitting his stomach in the same way as the last time.
In effect, Gai recovered his Gokai Cellular and transformed into Gokai Silver. All six Gokaigers change into the Dairangers and finish off the Gormin Sailors before Gai destroys the Sugormin with the Gokai Legendream and the Gokaigers use the Rising Strike on Zakyura. When Zakyura and the Sugormin are revived and grown, GokaiOh and GoZyuJin are sortied to battle them. At the moment they are overwhelmed, Ryo yelled at the Gokaigers to use the Dairanger Greater Power, which the Gokaigers use to execute the Gokai GoZyu Ki-Power Bomber on the Sugormin before GokaiOh changes into Hurricane GokaiOh and destroy Zakyura with the Gokai Fūrai Attack. Back at the bazaar, Ryo gave the crew a hearty serving of his gyoza while he tells Gai never to forget the most important part of being a hero. The short lecture, however, causes Gai to nearly miss out on the gyoza meal. TV STORY-Ep. 33: Iiiit's a Hero!!
Farewell Space Pirates[]
After the Zangyack Empire was defeated by the Gokaigers, Marvelous returned the Ranger Keys to their original owners. Since Shoji and Kazu have their powers back, it is assumed Ryo and the rest of their teammates have their powers again until 50 years later, he passed his power to his nerdy-like grandson. Ryo saw his grandson fight a New Gorma in Dairen'Oh. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Akibaranger Season Tsuu[]
Ryo as China Red.
After being blasted by the Chief Clerk Blu-Ray, AkibaRed lands on RyuRanger, who is now China Red, the Red of the rumored original name of Dairanger, Chuuka Sentai Chinaman. In this altered reality, the Chinamen are a mascot team for a Chinese restaurant, and China Red also works as a deliveryman for it; plus, he has a rather cowardly personality, cowering in fear at the sight of Blu-Ray. AkibaRed attempts to restore China Red to RyuRanger by re-enacting scenes from Dairanger. It eventually works, and Ryo's memories are brought back as he becomes RyuRanger once again.

This key along with the majority of the Ranger Keys were collected by the Red Pirates and later used by the Gokaigers. The RyuRanger Ranger Key was mainly used by Captain Marvelous (Gokai Red), who used it to fight as RyuRanger. It was also used by Gai Ikari (Gokai Silver) on one occasion.

Notes[]
Ryo as...Kazu?
- In an early promotion for Dairanger, Ryo was to be played by Keisuke Tsuchiya, with Keiichi Wada portraying Kazu of the Heavenly Time Star; they switched prior to the beginning of filming.
- Ryo's actor returned as Beast-Demon Hunter Sieg in the Sentai Movie Kyukyu Sentai GoGoFive: Sudden Shock! A New Warrior.
- During his appearance on Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, it has been revealed that he has learned some of the martial arts skills and abilities of two of his former Dairanger teammates: Daigo of the Heavenly Phantom Star (ShishiRanger) and Shoji of the Heavenly Gravity Star (TenmaRanger). As he battles with them, Gai Ikari notates his appearance alongside these two Dairangers.
RyuRanger's helmet alongside other Red Rangers.
- At the 2012 San Diego Comic Con, RyuRanger's helmet was seen alongside the Red Rangers from Zeo to Time Force.
- Ryo can be seen in the Power Rangers Megaforce episode "Stranger Ranger" in the second dream sequence of the Legend War due to improper handling of the source footage. Later, Troy Burrows in Power Rangers Super Megaforce deliberately used the RyuRanger powers as a Legendary Mode in "Samurai Surprise". The mode went unnamed.
- His appearance in Stranger Ranger makes him the first core Dairanger to appear in Power Rangers. The others would later cameo in the finale.
- A similar character named Ryan appeared in early casting scripts of Power Rangers Super Megaforce.[1]
