Ryuzaki is a minor character from the NES Strider. His main purpose is to help the player with hints as to how to proceed in the game. 

Ryuzaki is a lower class Strider that carries out field missions presumably to distribute supplies to other agents on duty. He's known to have been in at least China and Kazakh, losing his Attack Boots on the former and leaving a disk recording mentioning that fact on the latter.

StoryEdit

Strider (NES)Edit

Ryuzaki is first seen through a recording left on Kazakh, mentioning about him leaving his Attack Boots on China. He's later found within Africa's underground caves, asking Hiryu to go for Matic, claiming "it's all his scheme". This hinting that he may have been doing some investigations himself.

On the Red Dragon, Ryuzaki infiltrated before Hiryu and helped him get through, by leaving his Cypher as a marker for him to follow the right direction. His whereabouts afterwards are unknown.

AppearanceEdit

Ryuzaki wears a blue Shinobi Shozoku, with white armored gloves, pauldrons, and boots. The lower rank Striders share his basic outfit, making him likely a C-Rank Strider.

TriviaEdit

• Since Ryuzaki's only purpose is to guide the player, he's never actually seen taking any action on-screen.
• Despite having few appearances and almost no relevance to the plot itself, Ryuzaki remains quite a popular character among fans.
