Revision as of 21:44, 11 December 2024

"It didn't matter to me if the world ended.
My existence was entirely too miniscule for me to perceive matters of that scale.
I had my hands full with protecting what was right in front of me."
—Kikuchi Ryou

Kikuchi Ryou (菊池リョウ) is one of the attendees of Natsume Souichirou’s funeral. He was one of Natsume’s classmates, although they weren’t close.

Ryou’s Mamiya is a small boy with a bunny mask on his head. He speaks like an old man and refers to himself as Ryou’s dad.

Ryou is the older brother of Kikuchi Midori and the childhood friend of Toujou Minato. During the course of the story, he also becomes close friends and penpals with Suou Keito.

Appearance

Kikuchi has short, thin-cut brown hair that sticks up in a messy way. His eyes are yellow-orange, usually described as "amber." Natsume describes his eye color to be "like the melted evening sun."

At school, Ryou wears the white shirt of his school uniform with the collar dramatically popped up. On top of this, he wears a purple sweater with a single yellow stripe running through its collar. At Natsume's funeral, he ditches his sweater and adds on his uniform blazer and red tie.

In some casual scenes, Kikuchi wears a white V-neck with a thick black stripe through its collar underneath a large, puffy winter jacket. His jacket has a fluffy inner hood, but the outside is dark blue. It has a reverse-colored, upside down Nike logo on its left breast. He also wears black jeans.

His other casual outfit is a large, fully zipped-up dark green jacket with a tall, flat collar. The jacket has two black vertical zippers on either side of his chest, and the logo on it bears similarity to another real life brand.

Ryou likes sportswear, especially brand-name sneakers. However, because he is in a bad financial situation, he tends to buy inexpensive clothes from supermarkets or second-hand stores. Minato sometimes helps him pick out clothes. Ryou does not tend to accessorize, as he doesn't like wearing things around his wrist.^[4] However, he wears a simple chain around his neck, and his ears are pierced.

Personality & Traits

Ryou is a hardworking young man who refuses to back down from a fight or difficult situation. Though he has difficulty opening up about himself, he treats his friends with the care of a big brother, even if it means burdening himself.
