Ryo Sanada

Ryo is my favorite of all the troopers. Here is a little information about my most favorite anime guy of all time!

His full title is Rekka no Ryo ("Ryo of the Blazing/Raging Fire"). Ryo wears red armor, and he carries twin katana as his weapons. The symbol on his armor is four squares set inside a circle so that they form a four-pointed star. He is the leader of the Troopers, and he also has a real nasty temper - at least partly because of his "vast heart" which causes him anguish whenever others are being hurt (The other explaination is that his armor, which is a fire elemental, causes him to be a bit testy or hot-headed {that was not a pun.}). He is accompanied by a huge white tiger named Byakuen. In the new storyline he gets a new set of armor, which is formed when theenergy of his four comrades is joined with his own. At first this effectalso drains Ryo's own energy rapidly. This new, white armor is called "Kikotei" - literal translation is "Sparkle Glitter Emperor", but that is a poetic way to say "sun", so it can be refered to as the "Sun Armor". When he uses his full power, he yells "So En Zan" (Two- Direction Flame Cut). The words used with the Kikotei armor are "Sen Ko Zan".� Ryo is an orphan; his father was a wildlife photographer killed by a wild animal.

Ryo is the first of the Troopers to show up in the series, and naturally is the main protagonist.
