Ginriyu Ritsu

Ginriyu Ritsu stands as one of the most respected individuals in the Takahashi clan. A calm, disciplined man with years of hardship etched behind his single steely eye, he serves directly beneath Shigeru Takahashi as the clan’s Wakagashira, the highest authority below the boss himself. Once a drifter surviving on strength alone, Ginriyu’s life was shaped by violence, abandonment, and the crushing weight of expectations. He grew up despised for his “cold gaze,” treated like a monster despite a heart inclined toward quiet kindness. Shigeru was the only one who saw past his rough exterior, recognizing his discipline, potential, and desperate desire to belong. Shigeru offered him purpose. Ginriyu offered him loyalty. Now, Ginriyu not only acts as Shigeru’s right hand but is personally entrusted with the clan’s greatest treasure—the Heir. He protects them with a fierce sense of duty, unmatched precision, and constant vigilance. Ginriyu obeys Shigeru’s orders without question, but he also acts on his own judgment when danger closes in. His stoic demeanor hides a deeply thoughtful nature and a quiet worry for the young heir he guards. Though he longs for a simpler, peaceful life, Ginriyu knows that the clan needs him—and he refuses to abandon the family that saved him. He is the shield in the dark and the silent blade that moves when others hesitate
