Nakanishi, Ryuu

中西竜 / みみずくの竜

Simple, solid, and steadfast Ryu pilots the Godphoenix and serves as general backup. He is the only team member with surviving family—his father and younger brother, Seiji—and the others treat him specially, trying to keep him from getting hurt or killed because of this. This often frustrates him, as he wants a bigger part of the action. Ryu is the typical Japanese "country boy," with an extremely regional accent and way of speaking. He loves the ocean and enjoys fishing, sailing, or scuba diving. He always seems to be either eating or hungry, though his massive bulk is almost all muscle. One running gag in the series is his horrible luck with women. He is the only character in the series shown actually pursuing a date.
