Summary
As the head of the temple in Heilong-Jiang, China, Ryu Kaioh serves as the mentor to Kaioh Retsu. He is characterized by his strict and disciplined nature, having zero tolerance for failure. When his disciples undergo testing to determine who will inherit the Kaioh name, he initially denies the title to Retsu Shaorin, believing the successor must be both strong and skillful. However, he eventually grants Retsu the title following a recommendation from Kaioh Dorian.
