Ryuji Suguro (勝呂 竜士 Suguro Ryūji)

Ryuji Suguro (nicknamed "Bon" (坊) is a stubborn and hot-tempered individual. Despite his delinquent appearance and attitude, he is very hardworking and the best student in class. Ryuji is the heir to the Cursed Temple in Kyoto. Because of the destruction of the temple in the Blue Night and his anger towards his father Tatsuma Suguro, he swears he will defeat Satan and rebuild his Temple.[ch. 4] When Rin's identity is revealed, Ryuji, along most of his classmates start avoiding him, but after a confrontation with his father and Rin, Ryuji and his classmates help Rin escape impending execution and reconciles with him, claiming that he only blames Rin for not trusting his friends with his secret.[ch. 26] During the battle with the Impure King he inherits a familiar named Karura (a phoenix like demon which has the ability to use strong amount of red flames to incinerate almost everything and reincarnate when it dies) from his father Tatsuma Suguro, he uses its power to create a Gouhaen (a fire-element barrier) in order to prevent any miasma coming out from the Impure King from spreading further.[ch. 27] Ryuji is currently an Exwire just like Rin and the others, trying to achieve Meister in both Aria and Dragoon. He is voiced by Kazuya Nakai in Japanese and by Kyle Hebert in English.[1] In the Blue Exorcist musical, he was portrayed by Yūki Tomotsune.
