Ryō Utagawa

"Usami, you look even prettier than the last time we've met."

- Utagawa to Shiori Usami in Shiori Usami.

Ryō Utagawa is an All-Rounder and a member of Kazama Squad.

Appearance
Ryō is a tall person who has chin-length brown hair pulled back and brown eyes.

In his Trigger Mode, like the rest of his Squad, he wears a navy blue shirt and a black shrug jacket and a cross running through the front of his shirt (including the jacket), and black boot pants. It has a Border emblem on each sleeve.

Personality
Ryō is a rather friendly and gentle person, unlike his partners; the reserved Kazama and the foul-mouthed Kikuchihara. As they're usually very rude to others, Utagawa is usually the one to apologize for their mean words.

Sōya Kazama
Utagawa has a great deal of respect for his captain, becoming visibly angry when Enedra mocked him and his Squad. However, as Kazama is usually frank and therefore unintentionally rude, Utagawa is usually the one to apologize for his words.

Shirō Kikuchihara
Utagawa and Kikuchihara seem to get along well, but Utagawa gets usually worried over Kikuchihara's attitude. Like with Kazama, he is usually the one to apologize for Kikuchihara's rudeness.

Kaho Mikami
Their relationship is unknown.

Shiori Usami
Despite Usami leaving Kazama Squad, Utagawa and Usami seem to have a good relationship, saluting her and even complimenting her appearance after Tamakoma Second's second match.
