Ryuji is the 7th ranked assassin No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle.

He is known as Travis' "Brother" in battle because he has a katana similar to Travis', a motorcycle and knows martial arts, all of which resemble Travis. Despite all the similarities, Ryuji very rarely speaks, unlike Travis who tends to always speak his mind. He has the power to summon an energy dragon much like Dark Star from No More Heroes.

Both of them were equally matched and Travis decides to spare Ryuji, however Silvia shoots Ryuji just because of the rules and if he lived he would become stronger and kill Travis. When Silvia shoots him, Travis then acknowledges him as being a true warrior, not deserving to be "gunned down like a thug".

TriviaEdit

• Ryuji resembles the Dragon while Travis resembles the Tiger, both of which are supposed to be natural enemies as Yin and Yang.
• Ryuj's battle theme "Subuta.2" is the same battle theme used during the battle with Matt Helms.
• The moment Silvia kills Ryuji marks the only time she has ever stepped in to finish off an assassin Travis spared. If she had done this in the first game, Travis would have been killed by Jeane.
• Some people believe Ryuji never speaks, however, this is not true. After losing a clash to Ryuji, he slashes Travis with his weapon and says "see you in hell!". He also says "Come out, dragon!" when he summons his energy dragon. When preparing his charge attack, Ryuji says "I see you!"
