Info :
Ryou Sanada is the unofficial leader of the Yoroiden Samurai Troopers. He is known as Rekka no Ryou or Ryou of the Rekka armor. Ryou's armor color is red, standing for justice in his armor of fire. He is also the holder of the legendary white Kikoutei armor.
He has a big heart. He is often very cheerful and lively. However, he does have a stubborn streak and a tendency to be impatient.
He can't stand seeing his friends hurt in any way, and will place their safety before his own.
Ryou shows indifference to fashion, and he feels extremely awkward in social situations.
His eyebrows, many people feel help add color to his personality.
Since there's no physical strength in his mind, and only a little in his body, he immediately cries and falls, but the hot-blooded version of this boy is a super-powered warrior wearing red armor. When he fights, his sense of justice is very strong. He is also a person who is full of passion, as well as being a good friend.
The smooth movements he uses when he exercises help to enhance his active appearance.
Jin (virtue / benevolence) is what is in his heart, and what his heart gives to the people.
However, even when he has his weak times, he can wear the white Kikoutei armor.
Family :
The Sanada family was actually a famous ninja clan.
The name "Sanada" likely came from Yukimura Sanada, a real samurai who died in 1615. He is frequently depicted as wearing red armor, and was widely considered a hero. The crest on Ryo's armor is actually a slightly stylized version the family symbol of the Takeda clan.
Ryou's father was the heir, but he left the family because he felt their ways were too strict. Due to this, Ryou has never met his father's family.
Ryo's mother passed away when he was very little. His father is a professional wildlife photographer, who is usually away on long assignments. Fortunately for Ryou, he has a bank account set up by his father to cover living expenses. Ryou has lived in a log cabin for most of his life, but it is very far away from the city, and he has to walk nine miles every day just to get to school.
It was Byakuen who chose Ryou to wear one of the mystical armors. The two first saw each other when Ryou was four, and then again when he was seven, and a final time when he was ten. It was winter before the tiger finally lead Kaosu to Ryou to begin his training.
Ryou received his armor one year before the TV series began.
A group of poachers started a forest fire in order to lure out their game, but ended up getting trapped themselves. Ryou desired to stop the fire and save everyone, including the poachers (despite the fact that they threatened to shoot him when he tried to stand up to them). The kanji for "Jin" appeared on his forehead and he, somehow, managed to absorb the flames. The fire created the subarmor / under gear for the Rekka armor.
If you're at all fluent in Japanese, you can read the original story from the official novel about all of this.

If you're curious about how, in the manga, Ryou got his Rekka armor, here you go.
Armor Name : (white) Kikoutei
Armor Pieces :
Weapon Name : Go Retsu Ken (Stong Violent Swords)
Attack Name : Sen Ko Zan
Typical blood temperature of Ryou is pretty hot. He's always standing at the front of the 5 Samurai Troopers.
The form which challenged anyone toa fight was quite impressive, but, in the first half of the series, he did it too quickly, and was usually too far ahead of everyone else. But, the armor of Kikoutei required absorbing the energy of the 4 other Troopers. After realizing this, it quickly dashed the reckless nature of Ryou, and forced him to hold it down. With being both the friend and the leader, Ryou had to learn to control himself, and awoke to a whole new power.
Originally, he was an easy character, and, with the placement of the animal at his side, seemed complete. Also, thinking about a compaion for the person, time is strong.
Probably the influence came from his father.
Ryou's father leads a rather lonely life photographing animals.
Ryo is also able to don the White Armor of Inferno, which is formed from the energies and virtues from the other four Troopers and/or Masho armors. The armor holds great power, but a drawback is that it drains the warriors until they learn how to control it. When wearing the white Kkoutei armor, Ryou calls upon the Gou Retsu Ken (Strong Violent Swords) in battle. His special attack in the white Kikoutei armor is the "Sen Ko Zan", the same as that of the Rekka armor, but much more powerful.
When Ryou of the Rekka armor shouts the name of "Bushou Kikoutei Rekka!!", he is transformed into the new armor, and new power, of the white Kikoutei.
Unlike other transformations, with the Kikoutei Rekka, fire flies around when this transformation happens. Compared to the energy of the Rekka armor, because both Kikoutei and Rekka are fire, the light and power from this armor is incredible.
However, during his fight with the Youja swordsman Kenbukyou, he managed to get a hold of one of the swords, which is said to have the ability to handle the intense power of the Kikoutei.
In these two swords, the power is 10 times greater than that of the Rekka swords. It as about the same energy as a hydrogen bomb, and the power is also building up to an intense attack. It's that sort of power, a huge bubble of power of Kikoutei energy that the Gou Retsu Ken handles.
Furthermore, it's really just an incredible sword that can allow the one handling them to have their own way in a fight and win.
