Description
Ruka Gojō possesses a slender frame and fair complexion, his long teal hair cascading with dark blue highlights styled into fin-like shapes. Piercing purple eyes with golden orbital rings intensify his gaze, accentuated by thick teal eyeshadow, pronounced lower lashes, and matching nail polish. His reimagined guard attire blends teal and dark blue fabrics, featuring a hexagonal-scale shawl, a bow-tied belt strung with pale blue beads, and boots embroidered with gold diamond patterns. A strand of oversized dark blue prayer beads drapes across his neck.
Formerly stationed at Nanba Prison’s Building 5, Ruka idolized supervisor Enki Gokuu, nursing resentment toward Samon Gokuu for securing the deputy role he coveted. Following Enki’s imprisonment, Ruka’s unspecified crimes led to his confinement in Gogyousan Underground Prison. He later orchestrated an escape with Enki and Inori Hakkai, dedicating himself to reinstating Enki’s authority and purging perceived threats.
A study in contrasts, his calm exterior cloaks a sadistic streak, finding amusement in others’ torment. Arrogant and tenacious in battle, he manipulates former allies to further his ambitions. Obsessed with aesthetics, he employs waterproof cosmetics during fights and prioritizes vanity mid-conflict. His short temper and domineering attitude mirror Kiji Mitsuba’s, fueling their rivalry.
Driven by fanatical allegiance to Enki, Ruka emulates his idol’s mannerisms and rationalizes violence as an extension of Enki’s philosophy. He fixates on eliminating Jyugo, deeming him a monstrous obstacle to Enki’s goals. In combat, he wields the Bashosen to conjure wind and water assaults, though his overconfidence repeatedly backfires—whether through Jyugo’s counterattacks or Trois’s sabotage.
Beneath his ruthless exterior lies an unwavering belief in Enki’s innocence, framing his actions as a crusade to clear his mentor’s alleged murder charges. After repeated failures, he confesses his true aim was Enki’s return to Building 5, exposing latent loyalty beneath his scheming. Forced into an uneasy alliance with Kiji post-capture, his refusal to compromise ideals culminates in a clash with Inori, who rejects his self-justifications.
An adept swimmer dubbed “Kappa” for aquatic prowess, he collects ornate dishes as a hobby. The kanji in his name—signifying “five,” “pure,” “flow,” and “river”—echo his water-themed identity and homage to *Journey to the West*’s Sha Wujing. He stands 174 cm tall at age 31.
