- ―VulEagle's roll call[src]
Ryusuke Owashi (大鷲 龍介 Ōwashi Ryūsuke) is EPDS air force officer who was selected to become the first VulEagle (バルイーグル Baru Īguru), the Red Ranger and leader of the Sun Vulcan. He passed on his leadership to Takayuki Hiba in order to pursue space shuttle research for NASA in the United States.

Turboranger[]
Strangely, the footage for Sun Vulcan seen in the first episode of Turboranger only uses Ryusuke, the first VulEagle, including his voice for the team introduction. However, due to the events of the series, the VulEagle who appears in the 10 Sentai gathering in this episode is the second, Takayuki Hiba (albeit in costume only); likewise, when audio footage of VulEagle appears in Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai, it is Hiba's introduction used and not Owashi's.
Gokaiger[]
He did not participate in the Great Legend War with his comrades because he gave up his powers to Takayuki Hiba.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
Ryusuke Owashi's casting card in the Sun Vulcan official theme song opening.
- Ryusuke Owashi is portrayed by Ryusuke Kawasaki (川崎 龍介 Kawasaki Ryūsuke).
- As VulEagle, his suit actor is Kazuo Niibori (新堀 和男 Niibori Kazuo). An injury early into shooting resulted in Niibori having multiple substitutes, including Tetsuo Masuda (益田 哲夫 Masuda Tetsuo), Genhide Suzuki (鈴木 玄秀 Suzuki Genhide), Yoshinori Okamoto (岡本 美登 Okamoto Yoshinori), Takanori Shibahara (柴原 孝典 Shibahara Takanori), and Junichi Haruta (春田 純一 Haruta Jun'ichi).
Design[]
- VulEagle costume was designed by Katsushi Murakami (村上 克司 Murakami Katsushi).
- VulEagle wears a red cloth suit with a white stripe around the collar and a large "V" that appears in the middle of the chest. His gloves and boots are inverse in color: the colors are white while the stripe is red, around the wrist in the gloves and creating a similar "V" formation along the ankle of the boots. A silver belt surrounds his mid-section with a buckle with the raised relief of an eagle upon it; while a pin with the Sun Vulcan logo is pinned on his right side and a scarf flows around his neck. His helmet has a black visor that is jagged at the bottom going down to a gray mouthpiece, while the top and sides are surrounded in a golden line with a relief form of an eagle head, with the rest of the helmet completely red in color.
Etymology[]
- Ryusuke's surname can be translated into "Steller's Sea Eagle."
Notes[]
- Ryusuke was planned to be written off the script from the start because his actor was a singer and had a limited contract so that he could release a new album.
- Piloting Cosmo Vulcan, VulEagle I is the first Red to possess his own individual Mecha.
- He is the first and currently only Red Ranger to be replaced.
- Despite being called an Air Force officer, Ryusuke's uniform displays an Airman First Class insignia, whereas Hiba displays a Captain insignia on his.
