Detailed description:
The protagonist of City Hunter. Ryo is a combat expert, having fought as a guerrilla in numerous conflicts alluded to throughout the series, and has a long history of working in the underground. His mysterious past starts with him being the only survior of a plane crash in Central America as a toddler. The crash left him an orphan in a rebel village during a civil war, prompting him to learn to fight at a young age. As a result, he has very little information on his true parentage, or even his birthdate. (Later, Kaori Makimura unilaterally declared March 26 his birthday, as that was they day they first met). After the war he ended up in the United States, where he worked as a hired gun, but eventually he found his way to Tokyo, Japan. There he formed the “City Hunter” team with Hideyuki Makimura (Kaori’s brother), and it’s sometime after that where the manga/TV series’ timeline begins.
Saeba has many skills and talents which help him in his job. He is a highly skilled gunman, who can shoot any gun with great precision, though he usually uses a Colt Python. He expertly drives his classic red Mini Cooper, and uses its small size to his advantage in car chases.
Saeba is also an expert in hand-to-hand combat, and his muscular body can withstand a lot of damage.Though his fighting skills may make him sound like a terrifying man, Ryo is actually quite goofy when he’s not in the midst of battle. In fact, one of the most unique aspects of Saeba’s character is his ability to switch from a heroic, intelligent man, into a looney, lecherous pervert within a split second. Ryo loves women and he is constantly peeping at panties or patting breasts.
In the manga his lust is often visible through his large erection, but in the TV series it’s toned down to cartoon faces and wandering hands. In both venues however, the word “mokkori”(as this is a fictional term to refer to an erection, it is usually translated as “nookie”) is considered his playful “battle cry”, often compared to the Ranma 1/2 character Happosai’s cry of “Dai ryo ja!”(What a haul!). Despite his “ecchi” behaviour, he is a caring man who loves Kaori Makimura. However, he chooses not to show his love for her in order to protect her from those who would wish to take advantage of him.
