~ Ryūen expressing his views on his leadership.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka vs Ryuen Kakeru Classroom of the Elite Anime Season 3 Episode 13 gif

Ryūen's combat speed.

Kakeru Ryūen is a major antagonist in the manga, anime and light novel series Classroom of the Elite. He is a second-year student in Koudo Ikusei Senior High School. He is the infamous representative of Class 1-C who is in the school to lead his class by fear instead of faith. As a delinquent, he is followed by a group of other students who help him and contribute to whatever he plots.

He was voiced by Masaaki Mizunaka (who also voiced Gleipnir from Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts) in Japanese and Eric Vale (who also voiced Solf J. Kimblee from Fullmetal Alchemist series, Sakyo from Yu Yu Hakusho, Tsunenaga Tamaki from Deadman Wonderland, Ferid Bathory from Seraph of the End) in English.

Appearance[]

Ryūen is a young man of average height, with a long maroon, shoulder-length hair and has an average build. He has sharp eyes of the same color that strike fear into anyone he communicates with according to other classmates.

Personality[]

As a delinquent, he loves causing trouble for to his classmates

, such as the time when he provoked Ken Sudō in order to get him expelled. He also doesn't care whether his followers get hurt and will use them to achieve any goals which are similar to that he shares with Ayanokoji, as he did with one of them by hitting them on the head with a glass bottle.

He has a cruel nature, thinking about whether he was going take action after his followers captured Sudou and flick Ryuen on the head while sadistically laughing at him. Despite his cruel personality, Ryuen is actually a careful and tactical individual that was able to quickly find Honami Ichinose's track even after she observed that was declared out of self-defense or decided to not fight students from Class 1-A because of the presence of student council president Manabu Horikita. He sometimes even comes up with plans that no one would expect like beating another of his follower after he failed to expel Sudō for assault and have him expelled.

Abilities[]

  • Leadership: As the representative of his class, Ryuen likes to rule his class by fear instead of faith or loyalty. However, his intimidation tactics and harsh discipline are shown to be somewhat necessary and quite effective, as without him the class would have been thrust into chaos. His leadership and presence is the only reason why Class 1-C was able to compete with the other ones.
  • High-Physical Prowess: In terms of physical abilities, Ryuen is easily shown to have above-average strength. It is demonstrated when he beats Daichi Ishizaki who is also a very skilled fighter and a well known delinquent at his middle school. Despite his overall capability, he could not surpass Ryuen as he got dominated easily. Another great example would be his encounter with Mio Ibuki who is a highly trained hand-to-hand combatant and uses Capoeira, a Brazilian martial art, along with a few other martial arts that she blends for her fighting styles. Ryuen was able to dodge her attacks without breaking a sweat, even though she was the strongest second year girl. As a result she later becomes one of Ryuen's followers.
  • Fighting Proficiency: According to Ayanokoji while fighting him, he developed his own fighting styles through real fights that he witnessed in the past and does not use any martial art techniques as he is not a trained martial artist. Despite being a individual who is able to beat Ibuki without the actual knowledge of martials arts, he stood no chance while fighting Ayanokoji as he overpowered him easily as he was being trained in martial arts since he was a young child, combining multiples hand-to-hand combat moves together to fight his opponents.
  • High Intelligence: Ryuen is stated to be more intelligent than Suzune Horikita but no more than Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, as his attempt at making an alliance with Kōhei Katsuragi was a success to help him during a survival test. His plans can outsmart Horikita, but not Ayanokoji. He ordered students to spy on each inside the camps to observe who is the class leader in order to gain points for his own class without them finding out his intentions.
