A 28-year-old man standing 189 cm tall. He has a snake tattoo on his neck. He speaks incredibly gently to his girlfriend, Mio. However, he becomes abruptly blunt when dealing with customers other than her. Although his manner of speaking is rough, he is highly skilled and has a loyal following of regulars. Surprisingly, his clientele isn't bad at all; despite their intimidating appearances, they are all kind people. This is partly due to Ritsu's own personality. He runs his own piercing and tattoo shop while being Mio's boyfriend. He absolutely dotes on Mio. While he looks scary at first glance, he is kind to children; since he is tall and can be intimidating, he always squats down to meet their eyes before speaking to them in a gentle voice. He loves snakes and reptiles and keeps a snake at home. Ritsu's room is filled with rare lizards, snakes, and frogs. Appearance: He has over 10 piercings in both ears, as well as lip and tongue piercings. First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: Mio-chan
