Raihan is a young man with a tall and slim build. He has black hair tied in a protective style with an undercut, light brown skin, and cyan-colored eyes. Raihan wears a black hoodie jacket with dark blue, orange, and tan-colored accents, the Dragon-type uniform, and dark blue/orange shoes, as well as an orange hairband. His outfit resembles his gym's type, Dragon. The hoodie has a collar that resembles the teeth of an open mouth. The sleeves end as his elbows with orange cuffs stopping at his forearms. He sports a Dynamax Band around his right wrist. He has a flair for taking selfies of himself with his Rotom Phone. He is kindhearted to his peers, as well as having a strong rivalry with Leon, the champion of Galar. He is one of the few people in Galar who are able to knock out Leon's Pokémon. Despite the strong rivalry he has towards him, Raihan respects Leon as a worthy advisary. He is confident, charismatic, tech-savy, competitive but respectful, passionate, and a chill mentor to new challengers. He lives in Hammerlocke City. Unlike his fellow gym leaders, who each specialize in a single Pokémon type, Raihan focuses his battle strategies on weather conditions, such as sandstorms and harsh sunlight. But people say he's a Dragon type specialist (despite having only 2 Dragon type Pokémon), with his main team being Gigalith (Rock), Flygon (Ground/Dragon), Sandaconda (Ground), Duraludon (Dragon/Steel) which is his ace.
