Recca is a fairly tall and toned teenage boy, with black hair styled into its iconic forward curls, giving him a distinctive and memorable look. His everyday attire evolves over the course of the series, reflecting both his casual personality and the escalating challenges he faces.

At the beginning of the series, Recca is often seen in his school uniform, which he pairs with a backward orange baseball cap, adding a touch of youthful energy to his appearance. During the Ura Butou Satsujin, his attire shifts to a more battle-ready look, featuring a sleeveless dark blue shirt layered over a black mesh undershirt, complemented by white pants, tennis shoes, and an orange sash tied around his waist. For the remainder of the series, Recca adopts casual clothing, even in combat, emphasizing his relaxed and confident demeanor.

One of Recca’s most distinguishing features is the band-aid he wears on his left cheek, concealing a scar that cuts into his cheek. This mark hints at past hardships and adds a rugged edge to his appearance. Additionally, Recca bears a striking resemblance to his biological father, Oka, which underscores his familial legacy. On his right arm, he wears a tekkou, or a fire seal, which protects him from the intensity of his own flames—a symbol of both his power and the responsibility that comes with it.

Recca is an energetic and passionate teenager with a fiery personality that mirrors his abilities. At first glance, he comes across as someone obsessed with ninjas, dedicating much of his time to honing skills inspired by his fascination with their culture. He even vows to become the personal ninja of anyone who defeats him in battle, showcasing his playful yet earnest nature. Known for frequently getting into street fights, Recca has a reputation in his school and neighborhood for his rebellious spirit and confidence.

After meeting Yanagi Sakoshita and pledging to serve as her ninja, Recca becomes fiercely devoted and protective of her, sometimes to the point of overprotectiveness. Despite this, his intentions always come from a place of genuine care and loyalty, revealing his softer and more selfless side.

Recca’s determination and cocky demeanor often lead him to overconfidence, particularly in battles involving Yanagi. This trait initially causes tension within his team, especially with Tokiya Mikagami, but Recca learns to temper his reliance on the power of his fire dragons, evolving into a more grounded and cooperative fighter.

Beneath his hotheaded and brash exterior, Recca is deeply compassionate, even showing empathy toward his enemies. He is particularly moved by those who have faced hardships similar to his own, such as Neon and Rasen, and this empathy often leads him to forge bonds with former foes. His ability to turn adversaries into allies, such as Team Ku, highlights his charisma and capacity for understanding, making him not only a skilled warrior but also a leader who values friendship and teamwork.
