General Information:

Ryoma was orphaned after the death of his uncle, who had taken him in after the unfortunate death of Ryoma's parents.

He was close friends with Akira Nishikiyama in his youth, but the pair were split when Ryoma was adopted by a yakuza.

In his youth, Ryoma was a host at a local Kamurocho joint where he quickly shot up the ranks to the top 3. He was often frequented by the same women, forming strong connections with them. He eventually went on to date one of the women for a few months. His host club was purchased by yakuza from the Kawamoto family and thus, began Ryoma's run with local yakuza.

At the formation of the Nishikiyama family, Nishiki personally requests Ryoma to become part of his family and he agrees. Ryoma spent a long time as part of the Nishikiyama family, serving as Captain, Patriarch and Lieutenant within his 10 years of service.

After Mine Yoshitaka leaves his role as Captain of the Nishikiyama family, Ryoma drops his ties to the family, moving out of Kamurocho and adopting two children from Sunflower in honour of Nishiki. He now spends a large majority of his time with his two children, Maeko (8) and Akimitsu (12).

As Part of the Nishikiyama Family:

He quickly shot up the ranks of the Nishikiyama family after becoming a close and trusted friend of the Nishikiyama family Patriarch. After the death of Akira Nishikiyama in 2005, Ryoma was pushed into the role of Patriarch, which he maintained for three days before passing it onto Koji Shindo.

During the 2006 events with the Go-Ryu clan/Omi Alliance invasion of Kamurocho, Ryoma was pulled back into the yakuza lifestyle and placed comfortably as a Lieutenant. He served under Shindo and took over as patriarch once Shindo was killed.

Ryoma departed the Nishikiyama family for the final time shortly after Mine Yoshitaka stepped down as Captain. Under the leadership of Kanda, Ryoma could see the family falling apart and refused to remain a member of the family.
