Ryuji Sakamoto (坂本 竜司, Ryuji Sakamoto) is a character that originates from Persona 5.
Origin
Ryuji is first introduced as a delinquent student at Shujin Academy, showing little care for the faculty, with a particular dislike for Surugu Kamoshida, the volleyball coach. He meets Ren Amamiya when Kamoshida picks Ann Takamaki up in his car, and calls Kamoshida a pervert - Joker, not knowing about Kamoshida, inquires Ryuji about it, and, realizing he is a transfer student, Ryuji quickly talks to and gets along with Joker. The two accidentally come across Kamoshida's Palace, a twisted, darker variation on the school where a shadow version of Kamoshida is the king. Ryuji, almost killed, is ultimately the catalyst behind the awakening of Arsene, Joker's Persona.
The duo meet Morgana in the palace as well, who walks them through on the usage of Personas, and how to get out of the palace. The duo decide to return to the palace later on, and Kamoshida reveals (through his shadow) that he intentionally injured Ryuji's leg to inhibit his abilities in sports, as Ryuji was a hinderance to his plan to gain admiration school-wide. This upset Ryuji greatly, and his Persona, Captain Kidd, called out to him to awaken his feelings of revengeance.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
In All-Out Attack, Ryuji appears in one of the variations of the attack, fighting alongside Ann Takamaki and Morgana.
Ryuji also makes an appearance as a spirit, and as a background character in Mementos, dressed in his Skull outfit.
