White Ryu

White Ryuu is a minor character who made his debut in “SAGA of an Almost-Broken Radio”. He is Saki’s idol who inspired her to become the person she is today from when she was in middleschool.

Young
A rather stocky 35-year-old man, he has a peculiar long hair that looks like something out of the American movies of the 80s.

Present
A middle-aged man with the cool style of the 90's, his clothes are old-fashioned for our current times since he wears long pants and a red t-shirt. The most distinctive feature of him is his long forelock that has fallen over the years.

Personality
Although at first glance he seems the typical conceited artist who thinks of himself, he is actually a good guy who continues to maintain his style from when he was most seen and always trying to give a message to people of finding their own way and making others shine. Although his advice is out of date he always tries to strive to find the path that leads to the truth and likes to guide and inspire others. In his debut episode he shows his cool personality by leaving Saki his legacy of continuing on the radio because he knows that he needs new energy in Saga.

Trivia

 * His name roughly translates to “White Dragon” in English.
 * His character is based on the Saga actor of the same name who also works as a singer.
 * His appearance and demeanor is in many ways based on satire of the Japanese youth motorcycle gangs "Bosozoku", which were popular from the 70s to the 90s and to which female part Saki and Reiko was belonged.
