Emperor Hiryuu

Emperor Hiryuu is the first King of Kouka City in Shintotropolis. He was a red dragon god who descended from the heavens and took on human form to rule a kingdom on Earth.

Appearance
Hiryuu has long, curly red hair (the same as Yona's) as he is the red dragon. His eyes are covered by his red fringe thus making this eye colour and face unknown.

Personality
Though little is known about Hiryuu, it is believed he was a kind and loving dragon god, who helped to make the kingdom of Kouka a better place. He seemed to bear no hatred towards humans even though they turned against him.

Background
Once Hiryuu took on human form, he eventually had to fight against humans. It was believed that humans living in that era were full of hatred and evil- making them forget about their God. The kingdom fell into ruins as a result. King Hiryuu was taken capture by humans who desired power and just as everything seemed to be on the brink of destruction, four dragons came down from the heavens to assist him. The dragons loved Hiryuu, despised the treatment Hiryuu received and told Hiryuu that they should destroy all the humans as punishment for losing their faith towards the gods and then return to heaven. But Hiryuu rejected them. As Hiryuu had become human, he couldn't help but love the humans for who they are. Even if they hate him or betray him, that's what makes them human. The four dragons understood Hiryuu's decision but they couldn't bear to lose him either. Therefore, they gave their blood and granted their power to four warriors and told them they were to protect and never betray Hiryuu, and to stay with him to the end. Hiryuu meets Paul Gekko during his Journey.
