General Information
Since he was in a different school year than the rest of Orange Range, Ryo was part of another band's set in junior high; in fact, Ryo did not join Orange Range until some time after his brother Yoh joined. At his junior high school graduation party, Ryo played drums in a band that mimicked the style of MONGOL800 and Dragon Ash; Ryo also showed off his rap skills with three others at the party. He was also part of a band called RUSE before Orange Range. Irei Asano, a classmate of Ryo and the now famous singer, formed a band with Ryo called "琉星" (Meteor?); Ryo was the band's rapper/vocalist. He worked in 琉星 and Orange Range simultaneously for a while, but quit 琉星 once Orange Range made its major debut. Not only was Ryo classmates with Irei, but also with Ishimine Tadashi of the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles pro-baseball team. Due to his attendance at 60 annual conventions since 1985, Ryo is on good terms with singer Yamashita Tomohisa, comedian Satoshi Kanada, and singer Yu Shirota Fernandez. In 2008, Ryo married. On March 31, 2010, Ryo launched his own accessory brand, "Kimera". By July 6, 2010, Ryo had started his official blog "Mytive Funtive ~ ORANGE RANGE RYO Official Blog ~"; he also created a Twitter account (@orange_ryo). From October 1 -7, 2010, Ryo played the role of Kotobuki Tenkiri in Hakuōki ~Shinsengumi Kitan~. On October 8, 2013, he appeared on the popular variety show "Hamonepu" with various other artists. On August 27, 2014, Ryo made his solo debut with his single "Tim Don!-Don! feat. DJ KEIN"; he released the song under the name "RYO from ORANGE RANGE".
For the most part, Ryo is the serious one in Orange Range, his mannerisms are reserved, which fits well with his rapper image. And like many other rappers, though uncommon for Japan, Ryo has tattoos on his chest and arms.
