Profile
Ryouma is the leader of Takuga.

While pregnant with Ryomou, Ryouma's mother was cursed by a yokai, resulting in Ryouma being born as a hermaphrodite. With her mother dying of shock and his father ignoring him. Ryouma's curse caused him to become a target of savage abuse for the town people. Ryouma is chased from his hometown after he/she accidentally kills the people tying to rape him/her. He/she ends up in the Death Country where he/she meets Yuzuru, Mine and Gon.

Wishing to escape a life where they are constantly plaged by ogres attacks, Ryouma gathers everyone who can fight (more or less everyone), and hatches a plan to take the neigbouring Middle Country (China) and foundering the Nation of Takuga.

Trivia

 * On Takuga's founding, Ryouma became its leader after beating Yazuru in a game of rock paper sissors.
 * Ryouma's true sex is a mystery since he/she was cursed while still in the womb. On breaking the curse, Rance is free to pick either sex.
