Tanemoto Ryuta

Personality
Very serious and overly strict about rules and policies. He believes that rules are there for a reason and that they should be upheld. This usually leads to him scolding others and lecturing them about following the rules. Deep down he is a kindhearted person, and believes that he is helping the other students by keeping them in line for their future careers. He sees everyone as equals and gives everyone a fair chance. As he sees others as equals, he forgoes using titles like ‘senpai’ which can come off as sounding disrespectful.

Biography
Ryuta Tanemoto has always been a straightforward, serious kind of guy. Known for his cold exterior and exceptional intelligence, he excels in every subject. Even from the start of grade school, he would opt to study for class rather than playing with the other children. Although he doesn’t interact with others on a personal level, he has been known to lecture his fellow students or even faculty members regarding rules and regulations. This often leads to some form of conflict but he manages to win out either verbally or physically, if the situation calls for it. He believes in the more serious attitude of the new regime, but has a few differences of opinions on the matter.

He joined the kendo club in middle school, mainly for the fact that he needed a physical activity on his resume. He chose kendo since it was a traditional sport for Japan, and because it came with plenty of rules and procedures. He has been in the club every since, finding practice to be a nice routine. His experience shows on the battlefield, maintaining a strong stance and ready to move at a moments notice.

When he was a 1st year in his former high school, he helped the music teacher organize the orchestra's performances. As a sign of gratitude, the music teacher gave Ryuta free lessons on how to play the violin. He even recommended a good violin for Ryuta that a friend of his was selling cheap. Ryuta learned fast, and was able to play fairly well by the time he completed his first year.

On rare occasions, he will help other students without a second thought. While he may do so, he maintains a nice distance away from others. He prefers more of a business relationship with others over personal ones, usually wanting a form of compensation for his actions.

There is a rumor going around that he has been seen doing various things around town such as waiting on tables, working in retail stores, and doing various forms of work. These rumors are largely dismissed as some of them sound out of character for him.

Alignment (presumed)
Law (moderate-strong)? Although Ryuta is strongly focused on rules, he desires to be in a position where he can change them, and is unlikely to be sympathetic to Kamijo's aims.
