Description
Issei Ryuudou holds the position of student council president at Homurahara Academy, executing his duties with marked dedication and seriousness. He is the youngest son of the head priest at Ryuudou Temple, with an older brother named Reikan Ryuudou who attended school alongside Taiga Fujimura and Otoko Hotaruzuka. Demonstrating disciplined routine, Issei commutes two hours on foot daily to attend school.
He shares a close friendship with Shirou Emiya, forged two years prior to the main events depicted in related media. Their interactions often include shared lunches within the student council office, where Issei regularly enlists Shirou's help to repair school equipment, aiming to minimize expenses and prevent budget cuts impacting clubs. He openly savors meals prepared by Shirou, expressing particular enjoyment of his cooking.
Personally reserved, hardworking, and strict, Issei aligns his conduct with his responsibilities. He harbors significant distrust toward women, largely stemming from prolonged conflicts with Rin Tohsaka during their tenure as student council officers in junior high; he perceives her as manipulative, once labeling her a "demon in the form of a harmless cat." Despite this wariness, he demonstrates immediate respect for Saber, sensing her inherent goodness, and holds Ayako Mitsuzuri in high regard for her capabilities.
Within the alternate universe of *Today's Menu for Emiya Family*, devoid of Holy Grail War conflicts, Issei appears in a more relaxed context. In Episode 4, he returns to Ryuudou Temple and discovers sandwiches prepared by Shirou, which he enjoys. During school festival preparations in Episode 10, he oversees the approval process for student proposals and personally appreciates meals Shirou provides to the student council. These appearances underscore his ongoing school role and appreciation for the communal dining central to the series.
Beyond this spin-off, Issei features in other *Fate* media. He participates in a horror story session at Ryuudou Temple in *Fate/hollow ataraxia*. *Carnival Phantasm* depicts him attempting to expose Caster's true nature to Souichirou Kuzuki. His original role across *Fate/stay night* routes involves unwittingly revealing Caster's presence at the temple; later, in the *Heaven's Feel* adaptation, he grieves Kuzuki's death following a temple attack.
Physically, Issei possesses short, dark blue hair, blue eyes, and a slim build, typically seen wearing glasses and a gakuran uniform. His measured approach to responsibilities and interpersonal dynamics remains consistent across appearances, though the peaceful setting of *Today's Menu for Emiya Family* accentuates his camaraderie with Shirou and integration into the series' focus on shared meals.
