Ryouhei Nakazato (中里 亮平, Nakazato Ryōhei) is a character in Yosuga no Sora. He is Haruka Kasugano’s energetic and humorous classmate and serves as a source of comic relief throughout the series. Known for his laid-back personality and blunt honesty, Ryouhei often teases his friends, particularly Haruka and the girls around him, but ultimately proves to be a loyal companion.
Personality
Appearance in Anime
Ryouhei is a loud, outgoing, and often over-the-top character who considers himself a ladies’ man, frequently using corny pickup lines in an attempt to charm the girls around him. Despite his seemingly foolish and carefree nature, he is a dependable friend with surprising insight. When situations grow serious, Ryouhei often proves capable of offering thoughtful advice and quickly grasping the emotional dynamics at play. While he may come off as a self-proclaimed idiot, his sincerity and loyalty make him a trustworthy companion to those close to him.
Appearance
Ryouhei stands out as the most mature-looking member of the main cast. He has a tall and solid build, a dark complexion, and short, neatly kept hair. Uniquely among his peers, he sports a beard, further emphasizing his more grown-up appearance. His typical attire consists of either his school uniform or a traditional jinbei, though he is seen wearing casual and seasonal outfits throughout the series.
