Ryo Kazan is a character who appears in Moonlight Syndrome. He is one of the main protagonists of the story.

Appearance and Personality

In Moonlight Syndrome, Ryo is always seen wearing a low-buttoned black shirt, black jeans and belt.
Ryo is usually very aloof, showing little interest in wanting to talk to people or answer questions. Despite this, he is shown to care very deeply for those that he does have a connection with, such as Rumi Tohba and his elder sister Kyoko Kazan.

History

Although Ryo is at school age, he no longer attends Hinashiro High, instead living in his own place. He was previously acquaintances with Sumio Tohba, however an affair involving himself, his older sister Kyoko, Sumio, and Sumio's younger sister Rumi has since ruined their relationship.

The Silver Case

Ryo about to take a shot at Kusabi

On the 29th of January Ryo awakens catatonic in his room driven mad either by the moon itself, the events of Moonlight Syndrome or both. He is discovered in his room by Rumi in a near catatonic state. Ryo pulls a gun out of his television along with the decapitated head of his sister Kyoko and heads out. He is seen standing in the middle of the road by HCU Special Agent Tetsugoro Kusabi. Ryo fires a shot which Kusabi dodges by a hair. Kusabi quickly calls Chizuru Hachisuka for backup. Ryo retreats into the nearby Cauliflower Building where he is pursued by the Republic unit. He shoots Republic member Haruhiko Inomata in the arm and makes his way to the roof. On the roof Ryo is confronted by Akira and Kenichi Sakamoto where he is shown to be completely insane, babbling incoherently about Kamui while both begging for his life and threatening to kill the Republic Agents. Akira hesitates to fire upon him but Ryo is quickly shot in the head by Kusabi who proceeds to fire four more shots into his head. Rumi Tohba is found in a similar mental state afterwords and is killed immediately afterword by Sakamoto.

Trivia

  • Ryo's first appearance is in the short bonus section "Prank" in Twilight Syndrome : Investigation. In this appearance he is wearing a different set of clothes and has white hair.
  • Ryo is never mentioned by name in The Silver Case, probably due to copyright issues with Human Entertainment, however in the game's files his portrait is listed as FACE_RYO.
  • Unlike the game in the bonus manga included in the 2016 remake Pre-Lunatics he is identified explicitly as Ryo Kazan.
  • In Pre-Lunatics Ryo is shown pulling a gun out of TV set, this may be a reference to the 1983 David Cronenberg film Videodrome.
  • Ryo is shown in Pre-Lunatics to inexplicably have a Silver Eye. In the image he is shown alongside Kamui Fujiwara and Sundance Shot. At no other point in the manga or game is Ryo shown to posses a Silver Eye.
