Years later, Ryuho moved to Platinum Jail, residing in Flame Willow. The events that occurred afterward led to Koujaku vowing vengeance, wanting Ryuho dead. Ryuho then left his side, telling his victim to learn to control his temper, or else he would regret it in the future. He ended up drawing large, pink lotus flowers on a majority of Koujaku's back and a black pattern on the right half of his body. Wanting to test out a new method of human control given to him by Toue - which had not been yet optimized - Ryuho happily accepted, using Koujaku as an experiment. At that time, he was only around fourteen to fifteen years of age. Much to his protests, Koujaku's father asked Ryuho to tattoo his son. Ryuho and Koujaku have known each other from way back, when Koujaku left the island with his mother. The sight of his art turning Koujaku into a monster puts Ryuho into such a state of ecstasy that he welcomes his death with open arms, barely choking out how good it feels to be killed by his own creation. His love and obsession towards body art takes a disturbing turn when Koujaku's own tattoos begin to flourish and take control of his mind and anger. He enjoys seeing others writhe in pain under him, lovingly going on about how much more beautiful a person becomes after being touched by his needle. Underneath his warm smile, Ryuho is shown to be very manipulative and sadistic, drugging Aoba and nearly forcing him into getting tattooed. Although he gets an odd feeling from him, Aoba thanks him, as Ryuho walks off smiling.

He helps him to get into the club that Aoba suspected Koujaku to be in and gives him an extra membership card, so Aoba would be able to come back again anytime. When he first meets Aoba, Ryuho is shown to be very kind towards him. His work is the admiration of many aspiring tattooists, often being highly detailed and containing smooth, intricate patterns. It is implied that he has been working as one for many years. Ryuho is a well-known and respected tattoo artist. Ryuho usually wears a kind face that comes off as very calm and kind, with his voice being soft and collected, almost resembling a whispering tone. They are seen around his waist, his wrists and a large necklace that portrays larger skulls and a blue magatama in the middle. His most noticeable accessories are the multiple skulls that hang off of him. It is held up with a light blue sash, a small blue carrier attached to it on his right hip. He wears black leather gloves and a blue kimono with a traditionally-styled dragon patterned on the left breast. His clothes are the complete opposite of Koujaku's. He has scruffy, short blond hair that seems to be graying slightly, and a tattoo of a blue seahorse on his neck.
