Ken Ryuguji, also known as Draken, is one of the two tritagonists (alongside Chifuyu Matsuno) of the 2017 Japanese manga series Tokyo Revengers and its 2021 anime adaptation. He is the vice-president and one of the founding members of the Tokyo Manji Gang.
Story[]
Draken is one of the main characters from Tokyo Revengers. He is one of Mikey's closest confidants and friends, since he is also Toman's vice-captain. Draken often seems to represent the role of the moral part of the duo, since he appears very conscientious. For example, he later tries to persuade Kazutora to reconcile with Mikey and prevent the war between Valhalla and Toman. Draken has tremendous fighting power and is probably Toman's strongest fighter after Mikey. He loves to work on motorcycles and dreams of running his own motorcycle (repair) store later on. Since Draken doesn't seem to have a family, he lives in Shibuya in a building where women do favors for money. He has a room there and was also more or less raised by the owner, even though this seems quite unusual. He has nothing to do with the business there per se, but simply lives there and also knows all the women who work there personally.
In the second future, Draken is on death row because he was driven to kill someone by Kisaki's manipulation. Takemichi gets some of his information about what happened in the past from Draken in the future. For example, he informs him about what happened to Baji, which Takemichi later tries to prevent. In the first original timeline, Draken is already dead, which is initially assumed to be the cause of Mikey's corruption. He was stabbed in an ambush, which Takemichi later manages to prevent. After Takemichi later explains to Mikey and the others that he can time travel and the gang seems to be forced to develop into the bad, Mikey decides to disband the gang. In this future without Toman, Draken realizes his dream of owning a motorcycle store together with Inupi. However, since Mikey did not fare well in this future, Takemichi decides to make one last time jump to save Mikey. During this procedure, Takemichi is attacked together with Senju and Draken intervenes, getting shot. He dies on the spot with a smile as he can finally be reunited with Emma. The last thing he does is tell Takemichi to watch Mikey for him.
Appearance[]
Draken is a muscular teenager who is exceptionally tall for his age. His head is shaven on the sides and back to expose his signature dragon tattoo on his left temple. His blonde hair is long on the top of his head and kept in a neat braid. He leaves a few strands of hair lose in the front.
He is confirmed to be quite lean and has chiseled abdominal muscles. Takemichi remarked that his body does not seem like that of a teenager. Draken has a scar on the left side of his abdomen after being stabbed. He wears the standard Toman Toppoku while with the gang, and his favorite casual outfit seems to be a patterned long jacket.
Personality[]
Like the president, vice-president Draken is also quite the unpredictable individual. He loves a good fight and relishes meeting strong opponents. He is rude to those he considers beneath him and makes it clear he does not like them.
Unlike Mikey, Draken is the more mature and logical of the two. When the two are being scolded in the hospital by the father of a girl who was assaulted by Moebius, Draken is the one who forces Mikey down to apologize, understanding the man's rage and that it was better to receive his anger without a word than to try and defend themselves. When Pah-chin decides to take the fall and responsibility for Toman by deliberately getting arrested, Mikey tries to get Pah-chin to run. However, Draken stops him, saying that it is the right thing for Pah-chin to do. There are times when Draken's anger gets the best of him, though, and he lashes out in rage.
Draken is also a good-natured individual. He hates overtly showing affection to the ones he cares about but will go to great lengths to take care of Mikey. He puts up with Mikey's antics and values him as a close friend, carries Mikey around when he falls asleep, takes him to eat his favorite foods, and wakes him up every morning for school. In addition, he gave Emma a plushie for her birthday, and Emma notes that it was one that she had been wanting for a while.
