Ryori (pronounced "righ-or-ee") is a character in Dragon Ball Z: The Forgotten. He is featured in the third, fourth, fifth and epilogue sagas and is introduced in the chapter "Familiar Presence".

Appearance
Ryori is skinny, with a normal height for his age and species (12 year old human). He has short brown hair, and dark black eyes. He looks a lot like his older brother, Shoekki, but has noticable youth in his face, as well as not having a beard. Despite his short hair, his appearance has lead some (though few) to mistake him for a girl.

Personality
Ryori's personality is very similar to that of Ledas, which is something that may have influenced their later friendship. But one thing that Ryori has, that LEdas doesn't, is street smarts. Growing up around his brother, Shoekki, and sister , Ryori structure was heavily disturbed. So even though he is mostly playful and child-like, there are instances where his warped thinknig come into play. This is seen a lot in the school setting, where he also expresses his alpha male mentality.

Planet Earth Saga
Ryori at the start of the Planet Earth Saga, is an active student at the local middle school. When Ledas arrives, he is put into Ryori's class. Being the alpha male, and seeking some fun, Ryori immediately works to annoy and distract Ledas. But, after finding out several things about Ledas, his opinions quickly shift, and the two become good friends. Throughout the remainder of the saga, nothing real notable happens, but the two still do stuff together, in play.
