Ichiraya Ryu

Ichiraya Ryu, or more notoriously known as Demon Blade Ryu, is a Demon in the form of a Male, he is the third most powerful Demon behind Yōgan Ryu and Nox in the New Order. Equipped with Gakitou, Ichiraya is able to drain his enemies of their very Tao and use it to empower himself just by being near them.

Appearance
Ichiraya has a gray-ish skin tone as common with most Demons out of their Vermillion Form, and long black hair that reaches down to his lower back. Mostly, Ichiraya wears his hair in a badly kept ponytail with an ornate black and red cuff, other times Ichiraya is seen with his hair unkept. Ichiraya wears a black and red kimono with the characters "苦しむ" which translate to "suffer" in English.

Personality
Ichiraya has an extremely laid back attitude for a Demon, but has a strong sense of honor and wisdom. Ichiraya presents himself as a noble samurai who believes that the New Order's ways are justified through means of Phylogenesis. Anyone who falls victim to Ichiraya's Zaraimon is considered "doing a great service" in that they are assisting in the evolutionary process of Demonkind.
