Ryōra is a Buddhist monk who joins the battle against Miki Chiyoe's forces. Arriving as reinforcements from Mount Koya alongside fellow monk Kinshū, Ryōra distinguishes himself through his modern fashion. He aids in tracking down and subduing the transformed Kyoichi Hiyu. Later, both Ryōra and Kinshū are fought off by the mutated Tomoyo during Shiho Murase's kidnapping. The group then travels to Shinjuku to thwart Chiyoe's ritual, encountering attacks from zombified citizens en route. At the Shinjuku temple, Chiyoe's servant Tamaki captures Kinshū. This compels Ryōra to stay behind, engaging and destroying Tamaki, which separates him from the main group for the temple conflict's conclusion.
